Magnus Samuelsson Bench Press 270kg (595lb) x 2

[dippydog]

I used to be big bench press, but then I took an arrow to the knee

[Rollerfahrer666]

alles andere ist fake , magnus ist really strong one of the strongest

[aviomaster]

NORWEGIAN average height 6'4" tallest people.

HOW is this possible. Well vikings were fighting for their  woman and only the strongest can spread his seed that is why they are big and huge.

[EndlersaurusRex]

@aviomaster Where do you get those number? The Netherlands has been historically the tallest, varying between 5'11 and 6'1

[freedomsoldier187]

@aviomaster you talk some mad shit, average height is 5'11 go check wikipedia if you don't believe me.

[dabizasLud]

can tell me someobdy song from video is?

[OfficialIbeatza]

@dabizasLud Your english is embarassing

[RPDBY]

@OfficialIbeatza your remarks are pathetic

[MegaStieglitz]

name of song???

[rymdmyggan]

some idiots claim that this is really only 230 kg and that he has painted 4 15kg:s to make them look like 25 XD jellousy is silly sometimes:P

[Sniegel]

@rymdmyggan To live up to "Swedens strongest man" you gotta do what you gotta do to live up to that name. If that includes painting some weights to become "just a tad" bit stronger, then thats what you will do ;)

Look at how little the bar vibrates despite it being 270 kg. There really is something fishy here.

[learninjava]

LOL guy in background doing nothing then he changes his music while Magnus got few heavy reps in. Why does he need music for moptivastion when he got a guy doing 270 infront of him?

[Rhulken]

its been said that he has done well over 300 kgs in the bench. Give him a shirt..and he would crush about every powerlift competision in europe. with +50-80kgs more then the rest

[KGjason001]

This is a related video to "Volvo 240 with 400 HP" = Swedish power.

[alcoholicmr]

herre jävlar

[guysapire]

that is really brutal!

strange his ass is off the bench, though...

[charliehustlenflow]

@guysapire i guess hes really trying hard on that weight, dangerous tho, but im sure he knows his limits

[Rhulken]

@guysapire hes tall? look at hes uperbody...its covering the whole bench lol.. hes ass is outside ><

[TheFink2k]

awesome man

[unavailel]

men that is incredible

[OGToxiikz]

i have met him he is so fucking big i stood beside him on a picture

[dalund1]

lifted his ass off the bench

[karlmalone11]

@29theviking Those are 25kg plates, not 20kg plates. Hence, 595 pounds not 495 pounds.

[Marrrk666]

you can see the barbell flex in the middle as he moves O.o

[Zealti]

Well thats what I call heavy..

[nojokenygren]

Until I have irrefutable evidence that the Swedish Champion is not pressing 595. I will continue to believe what I see (and Svend ) in this video.

[Possimpablee]

@nojokenygren du är svensk va? ring upp rune andersson och prata om magnus. det var han som fick magnus o börja med strongman och han började med det i sverige.

[nojokenygren]

@Possimpablee I can't speak Swedish. . .

[nojokenygren]

That's Svend Karlsen next to spotting Magnus. If that wasn't 595, he would have called him out on it.

[Possimpablee]

@nojokenygren nope he wouldnt samuelsson provides svend with steroids and they are good friends.

[bigro4444]

VIKING POWAAAH!!!

[lukiboss07]

That is what you call power!!

[ArminJohansson]

now those are real muscles! not the fake steriod mucles you see these days...

[Possimpablee]

@ArminJohansson what makes u so sure he doesnt use? bc he says so?

[nojokenygren]

@Possimpablee Thats 595 pounds. . .idiot.

[Possimpablee]

@nojokenygren nope you dont know the story behind the painted weights which i know to be true.

[nojokenygren]

@Possimpablee Can you show me your proof please? Because if that was not 595 pounds im sure Svend would contradict him.

[Possimpablee]

@nojokenygren i dont really want to say who gave him the weights but i will say that he borrowed them from a gym in kisa and he returned them painted red. go on starkeanders forum there you will see that johannes årsjö has commented about this aswell,

[nojokenygren]

@Possimpablee Well, if you could give me a link I would greatly appreciate it. I find that hard to believe considering all throughout his documentary they were calculating his weights he was lifting. Also Magnus is one of the best pressers usually finishing in the top three, sometimes even first in the videos I've seen. Thats also Karlsen spotting him, who im sure knew that was 595.

[Possimpablee]

@nojokenygren hes not good at pressing when theres some weight on the bar look at how badly he did in arnold classic strongman when they were pressing an axle. hes not very max strong at all hes done 280 squat and 320 deadlift. thats pretty bad for someone who weighs 150kg

[nojokenygren]

@Possimpablee He is not built for competitions like Arnold strongman classic.He may weight 150kg, but hes also 6'7 wheres most of his weight is on his upper body. He has long legs making it dreadful for him. He IS a strong presser, beating Hugo in the 2001 super series and tied with big Z and Vasyl in 2004. That's why I believe that's 595. But who cares if Magnus can't squat or dead as much as others? He was the king of the stones, pulls 18 wheeler's and trains, and close COC#4.

[ThePhFighter34]

@nojokenygren Brian Shaw is taller than Magnus Samuelsson and he is pretty good at Arnold Strongman Classic and he is the 2011 World's Strongest Man, although it is very difficult for tall people to pull a heavy deadlift or do a heavy squat.

[nojokenygren]

@ThePhFighter34 Brian Shaw is also 400 pounds..

[SlayerPK5]

its 25x10 = 250kg + the pole = 20kg , 250+20 = 270 kg ! nice!

[Possimpablee]

@SlayerPK5 nope 4 of the red weights he painted himself. he even returned them painted to the gym he borrowed them from.

[liffan]

two plates on each side has different red colour and looks fake so maybe its 170kg

[JonteTheMan1]

@liffan Idiot...

[Odium1981]

@liffan haha.. 170kg.. there is many people able to do 170kg. Well sorry, but this is one of the worlds strongest men, he does 200 easily so no there is no way this is 170kg it is 270 as stated.

[reffa1337]

is that really a correct position with his back?

[MegaTristansmith]

ANIMAL

[Dreas89]

You see the two funny looking plates in the middle? Painted 15kg plates. So its 230. Still impressive when he is so big.

[Guard655]

@Dreas89 Lol...If they were 15kgs they wouldn't be as big as the 25kgs.

[Dreas89]

@Guard655 Eeee? Been to a real gym sometime?

[Guard655]

@Dreas89 Yes Ive been for several years and was thinking about asking you the same. Now think for yourself, does this man really need to "fake" his benchpress? I think he has more important things to do then painting some "fake weights".

[Dreas89]

@Guard655 Then you know that 15kg-plates and 25kg-plates can have the same width right?

He would not be the first to try to impress the camera.

[Guard655]

@Dreas89 They obviously can but to those gyms i've been 15kgs have always been smaller then the 25kgs. And another fact is that his personal record is 300kg so I don't doubt

[Dreas89]

@Guard655 his personal record according too his website is 290. Something that would place him amongst the worlds strongest. With those arms, does it feel reasonable?

[sewerin87]

@Dreas89 "With those arms, does it feel reasonable?" Are you kidding? he was the worlds strongest man you know. Of course its reasonable!

[Dreas89]

@sewerin87 Put away the stupid please, it hurts my eyes. He did not compete in benchpress, being a strongman does not make you a good bench presser ffs!

[AmusingYeti]

@Dreas89 He actually started out competing in bench press competitions. His love of strength bred from there.

[squiz8]

@Dreas89 if u watch the movie the clip is from u will see that the "funny looking painted" plates are 25kg........

[aDezenT]

@29theviking Wtf has that to do with anything ?! You most be the most retarded nigger ever. Its 595 pounds (270 kg) End of story retard.

[Muxen92]

@29theviking Lol idiot, vet inte hur man räknar! xD 10 röda plattor a 25kg + stång a 20kg =270kg

270/0,45=600lbs

Vad är problemet, visa hur man räknar då?

[aDezenT]

@29theviking Its 595 u fkn retarded piece of shit,

[NYJets41]

@29theviking I'm sorry but what the hell do you mean? I explained exactly how it is.

Or don't you know fundamental mathematics?

[bluntman069]

MAGNUS THE SAMUELSSON!

[NYJets41]

@29theviking 10x25=250+20 kg bar= 270 kg. You're fucking dumb, do you know that?

You're probably some fat retarded 11 year old who sits and plays minecraft all day.

[hanginghimself]

anyone dissing this dude is a retard ... isn't he a former world strongest man??

[NYJets41]

@29theviking it's 600, retard

[mochoo1979]

Would like to add that Magnus is 6'7 tall or 2.01 m, and has atleast as long arms/wingspan, that makes it really hard compared to shorter people with less wingspan..

[cmak5]

this is a man that deserved the title of BEAST!

[MrJuha82]

Swedish Viking!

[hawaiidispenser]

Truly one of the strongest ever. 600 for 2 raw is already elite level for "bench specialists", let alone someone who trains for over all, all-around strength.

[RubberNuke]

HAPPY 42nd B-DAY MAGNUS! MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE STRONG MAN!!!!! =D

[incharger]

Magnus is stronger than you get over it!

[pepinozinanasshole]

Holy sgut

[gymman62]

ANOTHER FAT SLOB WEARING A SHOWER CAP DOING A CRAPY LIFT!

[EndlersaurusRex]

@gymman62 He's not really that fat, and it's 270kg. He's not a power lifter, he doesn't utilize the incredible strict and (in my opinion) unnatural form for which their competitions call.

[Icantfeeeeeelit]

Americans are known for their stupidity haha! 25 lbs plates? it's 25 KG's there is a huuuuge difference

[EndlersaurusRex]

@Icantfeeeeeelit Where did someone say those were 25 pound plates? I saw a comment where someone mistook them for 45 pound plates, which if you don't actually look at the markings is easy to do for anyone ignorant to what red plates mean.

An American mistaking a 25kg plate for a 45 pound plate isn't a sign of stupidity, it's a sign of ignorance within the subject matter. Every country has their fair share of morons, not just the USA.

[Icantfeeeeeelit]

@EndlersaurusRex Well the US clearly holds up their percentage pretty damn good

[EndlersaurusRex]

@Icantfeeeeeelit That's subjective and again, based on generalizations of a minority shown in the media, typically.

[Icantfeeeeeelit]

@EndlersaurusRex We did feel the bash from the economy crysis that the US started.. again known för their stupidity leaves the rest of the world hanging loose..

[EndlersaurusRex]

@Icantfeeeeeelit Again, that was something controlled by a minority. Politicians everywhere are known for controversial choices; the intentions they had were supported by many people of similar minds not just in the US, but also no supported by many others.

I mean, if every US citizen was stupid, why would the US have some of the best universities in the world, with many local students? This isn't to say that there aren't top universities elsewhere, but come on. We're not all stupid.

[Icantfeeeeeelit]

@EndlersaurusRex I didn't claim that everyone in the US was stupid, but the majority of the people living there, is well.. in fact braindead.

I remembered a dude once said "Sweden? is that a country? I honestly thought it was a village in denmark or something".

Allthought around the video, 25kg's plates equals 55lbs plates. Claiming that Magnus is liftning 25lbs plates is just simply wrong.

[EndlersaurusRex]

@Icantfeeeeeelit Saying the majority is braindead is a synonym fro calling them stupid--i.e. it's a subjective claim. Your anecdote does not represent the general populous, he's a minority example.

Most people also knew 25kgs are 55lbs because they are accustomed to the sport and acknowledge people; people mistaking them for 25lbs shows ignorance, not stupidity.

But as @Rubbernuke said, I think it's safe to say khonfosh is a minority, and stupid.

[AndySlayed]

It even says ''Cassal, 25 kg'' on the side of the plates....

[ZZaarraakkii]

that's around my 1 rep max on each side xD

[aristoteles6182]

The really awesome part is that 4 of the plates are masked (they are usually yellow, but painted, as you can see by the looks of them) as 25kgs, but are 15kgs. So this is ""only"" 230kg. Still a massive weight to bench, especially two times. But not 270kg....it is 230.

[medulito]

ITS CHIMICHAK MAN

[daywidthe88]

det där är en äkta viking, Samuelsson rules!

[barthoedemaker]

KG ..this is Europe

[tacosamurai9999]

that is 595 those are 25kg plates 25x10=250+20kg for the bar=270kg

[BenchPressObsession]

swedes and germans very nice people, never met one I didn't like

[Danzo7296]

@BenchPressObsession hitler

[IMmaPicollo]

@BenchPressObsession if only youd met hitler

[Weza020]

@BenchPressObsession i've never met a nice german..

[BenchPressObsession]

i wanna take andro and get a lot stronger LOL

[khonfosh]

That looks like 495 not 595, 5 plates each side plus the bar is 11*45 = 495

[samskov]

@khonfosh Dumb fucking American. They're 25 kg plates, you think everything is made in usa right?

[MEELATEHGRIL]

@samskov Chill out. Yes, a shit ton of Americans are stupid, but I highly doubt there aren't ton of morons where you're from either.

[crayonkiler]

@samskov Actually no we think its China

[narddog92]

@samskov nah everythings made in chyna

[EndlersaurusRex]

@samskov Ignorance is not the same as stupidity, you conceited, generalizing douche.

[RubberNuke]

@samskov actually im pretty sure its only khonfosh. i mean im american but i know that grams and centimeters are the preferred measurements for the rest of the world. can we just say khonfosh is retarded and get over it?

[RubberNuke]

@RubberNuke *meters

[UndeaadArmy]

@samskov I love the way youre top comment says ''Dumb fucking american'' while if u look at normal comments it says ''Dump ******* american''

[Younowkoed]

@khonfosh 25kg plates, = 55lbs, 595

[khonfosh]

@Younowkoed got it, I know the 1998 champ would be able to lift closer to the 600, thanks for the clarification

[Possimpablee]

4 of the weights are 15 kg weights that has been painted. what a phony :P

[InFlamesAddictive]

@Possimpablee so ure saying its 230kg? Fkn moron, stfu. He has done 11reps on 218.5kg in competition.

[Possimpablee]

@InFlamesAddictive i know its 4 15kg plates becuse i know he borrowed the plates from a gym in kisa and when he returned them they were painted red so he had to pay for them

[InFlamesAddictive]

@Possimpablee Sure he did. I repeat "11reps on 218.5kg in competition."

Don't you hear how illogical your claim sounds? 2 reps on 230kg 11 reps on 218.5kg? 11.5kg does that much? No.

[Possimpablee]

@InFlamesAddictive when has he done 218.5kg for 11XD? ive seen a video where he reps on 200kg where the spotter holds the bar for every rep :P. and when magnus was asked why he used 4 15kg weights that were painted he said it was because they filmed all day and he got tired. but i dont give a fuck about what hes done in the gym hes never proven any of his pr's

[InFlamesAddictive]

@Possimpablee K dude, I'm just gna stop talking to you, because you just pull things out of your ass that are completely illogical. A WSM champion that does 230kg 2 reps? Right, you obviously don't know fkn shit about WSM competitors.

[Possimpablee]

@InFlamesAddictive No you obviously dont know shit about strongmen since you think that all of them are good bench pressers and 230x2 isnt bad for a strongman. derek poundstone has done 250 and hes way stronger than magnus:P. it just pisses me of that he painted the weights even if he can do 2x270 i dont give a shit unless he can prove it

[squiz8]

@Possimpablee bullshit, watch the real movie, u will see its 4 25kg plates, idiot!

[Possimpablee]

@squiz8 i have actually seen the painted weights in real life.

[squiz8]

@Possimpablee right..

[SkogsAelgen]

@squiz8 its 5 25kg's on each side + the weight of the bar

[Possimpablee]

@SkogsAelgen no its not 4 of them are 15kg weights that he painted

[ariana1362]

a true drug user.

[PhenomenalPerfection]

@ariana1362

no lol, he competet alot, so no

[AwesomePeow]

@ariana1362 Yeah, your mom must have been a true drug user, and that's why you're retarded.

[bycharliii]

@ariana1362 are you seriously retarded? Magnus is one of the few who hasnt taken any Steroids or drugs.

[Idle566]

@bycharliii

lol?...

[bycharliii]

@Idle566 ?

[bradthepit]

Too many critics. Arse on bench or not. Thats serious weight

[altinvurus]

He's a cheater..why he bounces at his chest? You should take it slowly on your breasts..the push it up..what he does, is be bounces on his breasts and lifts a little :/

[muzimuzi]

@altinvurus Yea, "any1" can "bounce" 600 pound off their chests what a pussy this guy is .. pff

[AmusingYeti]

@altinvurus There is nearly zero bounce there for goodness sake. Jesus christ; you would kill yourself if you saw an equipped powerlifting competition.

[HeavyFuckingMusic]

@altinvurus retard

[OscarTheTf2Gamer]

den mannen har muskler...

[elvisflorian]

A true viking

[2007Jordan1991]

what a fucking beast this guy is but im really curious to know how much a spotter would help when your benching 270kg haha

[AmusingYeti]

@2007Jordan1991 Well; the spotter is Svend Karlsen. Winner of worlds strongest man. :)

[TheCozar123]

@2007Jordan1991 well spot someone doing bench would be like doing deadlift ? or is it just me that think it looks like that ?

[2007Jordan1991]

@TheCozar123 kinda i guess but i reckon it would be alot harder considering you have to bend over more because of the dude laying under you

[rockbodysolid]

i wonder how much he could do with his butt on the bench still

[Stoksie01]

impressive that shit is a huge raw bench and at his age thats even more difficult

[Maskanders]

No faggy shirt, approved

[lozzballer13]

massive raw bench press.

[nojokenygren]

@dan13718 Small testacles, your penis does NOT shrink during roid use.

[Bsure12345]

I wish Svend Karlsen was my training partner the guy is immense.

[SmexyPC]

this music is so kinky

[amounirl]

Is that svend karlsen spotting him???

[muzimuzi]

@amounirl i belive so

[MelkerJonsson]

@amounirl yes it is

[Balla4life3]

BEAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[dysjav]

smooth as silk :) very nice lift

[malawigw]

The famous clip with red painted 15kg plates :) He used 4 of them here!

[InFlamesAddictive]

@malawigw You're funny. Are you aware that his max bench is 300kg in competition? And this is 10% under his max, which sounds perfectly logical. He has also done 11 reps on 218.5kg in competition. See that the bar bends even if hes using such a wide grip? You need ALOT of weight for that. You're an idiot, gj.

[Michaelsundell]

@malawigw It's a dvd he released himself and he's famous world wide for being the strongest man in the world 1998 and is an all-time record holder in several events. He also has the strongest grip any man has ever had. This video is certainly not fake (he could benchpress 100kg when he was 16 without ever going to the gym before)

[rctriplefresh5]

@Michaelsundell dont bother dude...if someone doesn't know who magnus is they are obivously a pencil neck who doesnt lift and sut posts ahte comments on lifters' videos.

btw how;d u find out he did 100kg at 16 no training.

i'm so jealous...although im surprised he didnt do more than that. i;ve heard people do more. i bet he couldnt squat too much though he used tohave skinny legs rofl.

[rctriplefresh5]

@DampeLill i was talking squat not bench

[needabloodyname]

@rctriplefresh5 you're such a fuckin' fag dude

[MrBruno2000]

@Michaelsundell Joe Kinney has a stronger grip

[Michaelsundell]

@MrBruno2000 He does? Maybe now, sure. But when Magnus was at his peak, he set the world record.

[grymmeraggaren]

Swedish steel! Nothing can beet that!

[soybean70]

I like and respect mag, but yes he's drugged to the max

[bodybuildersRgodz]

i wish i had him to train with

[ownagexx3]

272,5 kg :P

[NightClash909]

I love this soundtrack :)

[lolroflhehe]

@NightClash909 Whats the name on the soundtrack?

@lolroflheh
