Iron Warrior Strongbear Benching 500 lbs

[M4sevens]

Nice job bro!! Hell of a negative!!

[FreeGamingHelp]

Shoot I remember when benching was actually more then 25 reps ... Never knew it was just one.

[NeCroHaVok61]

@FreeGamingHelp he saying his max you know the most you can do in one rep

[FreeGamingHelp]

@NeCroHaVok61 No I get it, the small guy can only pick it up once, but I am saying a "Benching Status" is more then 1 rep. It's more like 25 - 50. The title is mis-leading.

[748334]

I feel bad for the bar, Just saying

[mrgenericbrand]

What a pussy. I'd kick this guy's ass in a spelling bee.

[centerflank]

why didnt he just bounce it off his chest like the nfl players do at the combine????

[Terreos]

Damn impressive. I bet those 97 dislikes couldn't even bench 100lbs.

[m3thinator]

@Terreos my grandma can penis lift over 100lbs.

[IDontKnowNorDoYou]

It wasnt a 500 pound bench. The spotter was touching the bar and lifting up. That you takes weight off.

[Dave16101991]

@IDontKnowNorDoYou - yeah but come on he barely touched it you can tell that by the strain on the guy benching, give him some respect

[rolex2136]

@IDontKnowNorDoYou with hisfingertips.. big deal

[DrStrongBear]

Thanks everyone for your comments as I have said this was in training and at the end of my workout those that know Powerlifting knows that heavy negs...help build power! Strong Bear

[gkbrown72]

Why are spotters helping out so much on the heavy lifts? The person doing the lift thinks it was done on their own....

[DamionHuskienorth]

Super slows they suck

[yomamma559]

Take your hand off his bar bitch!

[betonc7]

is that a power bench??

[KRATOSdude44]

he lifts things up and puts them down

[NinjaAntx]

i would've laughed if his bones snapped

[brolykill545]

im 14 i bench 245. so far....

[177ronaldoc]

he eats steroids instead of wheaties in the morning

[evenflow919]

I remember some huge guy walking into my weight lifiting class's session and doing 10 reps with 400 pounds. Walked away like it was nothing...

[RunescapeCalculator]

@evenflow919 ronnie coleman can do 440lbs 1 handed curls just saying because i know how hard it is and ron then just does em with 1 hand:(

[KfXrIdEr450r]

Trolls---vvvv

[gymman62]

A CRAPY LIFT BY A FAT OLD SLOB!!

[HermanHermes]

James Henderson benches more then this and on incline.

[R4NG3R2012]

i can bench 330 and im 18 years old.

[BDFPA]

@R4NG3R2012 and? who cares what you can bench, everyone is different. I have met guys would can bench shit loads but squat nothing and vice versa.

[R4NG3R2012]

@BDFPA just saying damn no need to get offended if that's your reasoning behind your comment. I know guys the same way and even opposite. squat alot and bench nothing. 

[sadnacman]

Dude, great control on your negative. Usually heavy lifters lose their form there. Hats off sir!

Now I need to go eat about 5 chickens and try to lift something. Inspired.

[holt56rams]

people always have shit to say about people that are strong as fuck ....

[steelcurtin72]

CHECK OUT JAMES HENDERSON 500 FOR 6 600 FOR 3 DIESEL

[urnotevengood1]

not a clean rep your spotter helped you

[102bac]

aaannnd, 1

[reddestyoshi]

should be squatting that

[HONDACOMPAQ]

fat people

[Four03skate]

i can do 200 haha

[foathkent]

judas priest one of my favourite weights music choices too

[Slyerious]

I just came from a video of Ronnie Coleman repping 495 multiple times.

[dctank13]

He reminds me of the tank on left4dead2 big upper body small legs.....

[1000hightower]

the man is strong but I hate it when the spotter touches it a little bit, I don't think he benched it all by hesself.

[GESSO217]

@1000hightower As you may already know, the spotter's job is to grab the bar in the event the guy doing the bench can't lift the weight. Yes, he's touching the bar but he is in no way helping the guy lift the weight.

[Chrisman50]

@GESSO217 If he touches the bar he's lifting the weight.

[floatingburrito]

You do realize that bench's weight capacity is 45lbs right?

[risen191]

JUDAS PRIEST- You've Got Another Thing Comin'  nice song :P

[DRGK9]

i can prove thats real, the bar bent if you look closley.

[imawakeish]

I could lift that with my cock

[benchaffleck]

I saw a jewbear do this once.

[bilvis48]

his buddy pulled it up until the guy could lock-out...then he let go of the bar

[TuckerFleischmann]

If that's what I have to look like to bench 500, then I'm fine with benching 180..

[youjajl]

q idiota

[bleachcaptainaizen]

at my high school there was a heavyweight wrestler at 17yrs old who could bench 475 he was a beast

[ViolentObesity]

he just lifted 500 lbs over a 16 second time period. He's strong but he has no power. I'd rather keep my 365 bench but move the weight in 2 seconds

[pooponapool]

@ViolentObesity its call your max...

[ViolentObesity]

@pooponapool yes and if you understood the mechanics of powerlifting you'd know that a max for a powerlifter can be very fast. Using correct "powerlifting" form so to speak you can snap the weight back up in a split second and with a good lockout you can pop it up at the top of the lift even if it's the maximum amount of weight you can handle.

[bilvis48]

@ViolentObesity ''snapping'' and ''popping''...you obviously know absolutely nothing about powerlifting. you posted that you can bench 365 in 2 seconds?...would love to see a vid. of that. if that isnt asking for a permanent injury, nothing is. if you watch guys like kenelly and mendellson who are among the strongest men on the planet...their is nothing ''snappy'' about their presses...it is a slow methodical descent...with a slow alnd brutal,fiber snapping press on the way up. all due props

[JChien6953]

why so many dislikes?

[alin1975]

@JChien6953

Spotter helped...

[fstuebner]

Boy's, how could'nt work alone..

[SuperMmoommoo]

250 kg right ??

[bl0odsport]

@SuperMmoommoo nearer to 225kg.... big none the less..

[sachin1q]

FAKE AND GAY

[Possimpablee]

he didnt bench that spotter lifted

[gymman62]

LOUSY LIFT BY AN OBESE UGLY JACKASS

[jorgenschroen08]

you got another thing comin!!!

[rendubot]

dog how do people do that man i was stuck at 200 forever

[jose0102elkbron]

Excelente !!

[kellyisvlogging]

judas priest for the win

[ddosterschill]

love the mike mentzer style superslow negative! takes way more strength that way!

[SeriousmaximSH]

i like the song :D

[George765]

I just can lift 340 8 rep/ but i think is ok for a musician.

[kylethekidable]

@George765 lol what does being a musician have anything to do with it? i have buddies i work out with putting up that much and more and they are computer techs. Occupation has nothing to do with strength dude. To the video, great job, especially busting the negative rep. I see too many guys on here trying to look bad, benching 800 pounds with a grade 3 bench shirt and boards, glad to see a vid of someone natural benching solid weight.

[George765]

Wow congratulations thats really heavy, Keep the good work.Thats is like 405 pounds 8 rep.

[MarathonVeteran]

Impressive bench...but can he wipe his own ass?

[matttize]

@MarathonVeteran

OMFG LMFAO that hilarious

[MrLOD1978]

@MarathonVeteran  When youre that big and string, you dont have to wipe your own ass...You get average people to do it for You.

[Inflames240]

@MarathonVeteran no, but other people do it for him

[alexrm1234]

@MarathonVeteran By the time you are maxing that much, you just force people to do it for you ;)

[zulok1337]

@MarathonVeteran can they even touch their own shoulder? what if their back is itchy?

[THuGZZTA]

@MarathonVeteran

Your mom does it for him.

[LesnarNextBigThingF5]

@MarathonVeteran no

[KravMagaMcmap]

@MarathonVeteran I didn't understand this one ?

[funaronie]

strong bu andy hamman benches 600 4 times raw

[Riggzilla]

those legs

[k0sta5]

Awesome lift. I'd be worried if that cheap ass bench could hold the weight! lol

[dickweed1000]

dude looked like he was 65. props u old bastard!

[767dag]

that an old guy pushing alot of weight , thats great....im a old guy and cant come close to that.

[hassan1255]

i wish i was fat and bald like strongbear. would look so cool.

[SCOPOtuaMADRE]

simply ridiculous

[Lass3DK]

powerlifters always look fat

[dallaspowerlifter]

@Lass3DK no real point. Powerlifters do it be strong as hell, not be a pretty boy faggot.

[Lass3DK]

@dallaspowerlifter ohhh u mad?, sorry im 6' 4" 265 lbs 8% BF and i prefer looking like this and still bench 375 lbs 5x5 and i know bodybuilders who bench than him hahaha fail strongman right there.

but keep eating fatboy.

[Lass3DK]

powerlifters gets all the girls!! oh wait...

[JimmaayN]

@dallaspowerlifter damn right

[Bsnakes]

@dallaspowerlifter I hated his comment, cause they obviously don't do this for chicks, but your response kinda pisses me off too. Being a bodybuilder, which is what Im assuming youre reffering to as a pretty boy faggot, can be just as hardcore as powerlifting and you can still be strong and look great too. I mean Coleman would easily have over a 2200lbs total in raw powerlifting, but it's not his thing, def not a pretty boy faggot tho, man.

[dallaspowerlifter]

@Bsnakes I envisioned the person who posted the original comment as some skinny -douchebag talking mad shit. I was not targeting bodybuilders, you guys do your own thing that's also tough.

[delmosgraham16]

@dallaspowerlifter also way more roids involved in body building !!

[pwillits80]

anytime someone is calling a dude "bear" I'm in the wrong place... time to slip out the door inconspicuously.

[M747202172763]

@pwillits80 As soon as I loaded this video, I saw the belt and the title and left

[stoner4010]

Too bad the spotter touched the bar, ruining his lift.

Does that spotter even lift?

[dallaspowerlifter]

@stoner4010 I agree, I would have been pissed if my spotter did that with me

[batmankid45]

lets see that except without the spotter touching the bar once he gets it off

[UUreviews]

is that a high def camera?

[Boohbahnooh]

HURR DURR HE DIDN'T GET IT UP THE SPOTTER DID ALL THE WORK HE DIDN'T GO DOWN FAR ENOUGH DURR DERP!!!!

^

if your comment looks anything like this, just fucking end it. You're not contributing to the world of powerlifting and you're definitely not contributing to an intellectual debate. 500 lbs, it went down, and it came back up, BOTTOM LINE!

[ricardozs1983]

23 are stupid crossfiters

[alin1975]

Spotter did assist. Not to say the man isnt strong, I am sure he is a beast, but this weight was not going up without that spotter, as others correctly observed below.

[Ryank513]

holy shit bro!!! nice slow up/slow down... gotta hand it to ya thts sick



[Grimbas08]

@Ryank513 I think you mean nice slow down, there is no way he was getting that up without a spotter.

[honkytonk2010]

good for you,good form right down to the chest.now that's how to bench!

[loosecannon42]

You didn't get.......why would you put that on youtube when you didn't get it?

[DrStrongBear]

@loosecannon42 Its called training! And its my progress that I am interested in and it may motivate other lifters ... From the comments most don't understand what it takes to bench over 500lbs...Post your 500lb bench press at 48 years old. If you will look at my channel or look here you will see me doing over 500 lbs in competition raw.

[MegaPandaDeth]

well damn is all i can say haha xD

[Jujitsukillu]

Holy shit. Look at that control! slow up and down. This guy is a boss.

[isaiahezekiel25]

"Strong bear" I'm going to steal that name

[cornnellify]

he did a negative and paused and got it up. I understand the spotter held on a little but he didnt help, he was moving the whole time.

[hzlwdcntrlftbll]

damn that took a shit load of work to control that all the way down very impressive

[hybridman]

dude fuckin spotter is annoying just move your fuckin hands for crying out loud and let him do the rep on his own. shithead

[Clipzin33]

@hybridman He had 500 on the bar jesus stfu. He was being a responsible spot.

[jacketnipple]

you see he benched that hella slow at first if he went faster on the down rep he could have hit that atleast twice or once with no help at all

[kfeaston138]

he aint gonna hit 500lbs! he didnt have that at all!

[pmull0011]

people of this build are such clowns

[mcjerkenstein]

@pmull0011 Cool story troll.......

[pmull0011]

@mcjerkenstein nice response bro! definitely addresses what I stated.

[mcjerkenstein]

@pmull0011 Oh please, you're a troll you don’t have any points to make other than to tear people down.

[pmull0011]

@mcjerkenstein I think it's entertaining you keep call me a troll and regarding you accusing me of "tearing people down", im simply expressing my pov of people that dedicate all the training to perform bench press, resulting in a non-functional build that results in numerous negative consequences, so if you're done being an idiot you could just stop responding and go back to pounding a bag of doritos while you search for fights in the comment section of youtube videos

[SilvaSkaduwee]

More precisely this is NOT Iron Bear whatever nenmching 500lbs. This is a guy being heavily assisted .

[fivefingerbp98]

well he did a ten minute long negative then pressed the weight up with just hardly help if any at all...shut the fuck up if ur hating on this.

[TheLongbeachguy]

@11sixpounder Ok

[yungxcraven]

I bench 375 for 1, and i can get 300 for 10 easy. This guy is EASILY doing 400 for 10 reps..does anyone know how old he is? Im just curious. Good lift man!

[DrStrongBear]

@yungxcraven I am 47 years old big dawg and thanks for the support!

[yungxcraven]

God i hate internet assholes..who tha fuck gave this video dislikes? He just bench pressed 500 for a 1REP MAX..stop saying he should do a set of ten dumbasses..its called 1 REP MAX ATTEMPT..but u can bet this, if hes benchin 500 for 1, he can hit 400 for 10. How many of u bitches can do that?

[airbusA5000]

whats the point of dooing it only one time, he is strong, but not impressive in my opinion, when he can do 10 reps that will be impressive

[R3js]

@airbusA5000 When people attempt 1 press, its called (usually) PR (personal record). On the otherhand, if he trained @ 500, he would do 10 reps 4 set.. Learn how it works and your post wouldnt exist.

[Waqarmannan]

It's on 50 likes and 50 dislikes I shall be the tie breaker!

[TheNaaiers]

what the fuck is his spotter going to do if he gets pinned? arm curl it off him?

[eowdaoc]

It would be more impressive to see you do a lighter weight without your spotter touching the bar.

[DrStrongBear]

@eowdaoc Search Youtube for Diamondator and you will find more of my videos!

[hazballs09]

"Strong bear" LOL, that's kinda neat... I liiike!

[DrStrongBear]

This is in training and yes my spotter probably pulled a few pounds...This is at the end of my work out...And yes I am phat and not juiced up...for 47 years old I think just taking the weight down is a great goal.But November 09 right after this video at the Ky Muscle I set the state record at 500 lbs Masters 1 ..308 class...2010 at the Ky Muscle Masters 2...308...class I set the State Record at 520...So I wish you all the best and hope to see your 500 lb raw benches on here soon..Strong Bear

[elitesniperface]

@DrStrongBear absolute beast well done, haters will be haters, just lifted my first 308 and im well impressed at that, keep strong dude

[DrStrongBear]

@elitesniperface Thanks bro...Keep me posted on your progress!

[DrStrongBear]

@elitesniperface Thanks bro...!!

[navaret86]

whats the point of the spotter touching the bar??... help to lift 1 pound while powerlifter lift the others 499 pounds?

[TiN0350]

doesn't count

[BENCHPRESSMAN]

he did'nt do it

[TheLongbeachguy]

I've been watching StrongBears vids for a while now, he's older and is one hell of a strong man. You haters out there just shhhhhhh and move on!

[DrStrongBear]

@TheLongbeachguy Thanks bro...for the support!

[kenfo0]

0 reps at 500lbs.

[arniemonkey]

oh and he didnt get the lift either !!!only a little help but was still help...more than i can do anyway lets see this boy squat!!!!!!!!

[arniemonkey]

not muscular but strong hye has lots of fat but hey he s a power lifter so no probs

[hakkenadventure]

@arniemonkey not muscular? your a dope man, just because muscle is covered with fat doesnt mean your not muscular. you CANT be not muscular and bench anywhere close to 500 pound

[arniemonkey]

@hakkenadventure ok he s got some muscle but not a lot ,just a bit more than a norman bloke but covered in fat to get ripped he could lose 6 stone, fat doesnt equal strength i wasnt hating just stating a fact it was to reply to other comment saying "muscular guy"

[hakkenadventure]

@arniemonkey not saying your hatin but your wrong man. very wrong. you cannot have a bit more muscle than a "normal bloke" come close to doing this you'd be extremely strong, and yeah you don't need to have crazy amounts of muscle to be strong but more much more than "the normal bloke" is required to even unrack this weight. but yeh get him in the power rack lets see a sqaut why not.

[ScottBrown124]

@hakkenadventure what national record is he talking about? its far over 480, or am I not understanding the league he is competing in?

[AndyAngelZ]

this musclar guy benched 545lbs without a bench shirt or anything he was wearing regular shirt and just popped it up
