This is a rare video of Ed Coan, who had the world record at 181 with 529 pounds BENCH LIFT !!

thats 2.9X his bodyweight..

Ed is the best ever. 215-225 and he lifts the same or more than the fat boys 100lbs + his weight.

@Friday13thTaurus If at all possible.

[JimmyD0YLE]

no doubt he could have done 600 that day

Actually, body weight is a big deal in powerlifting...that's why they have weight classes. When someone who is under 242 pounds is squatting close to 1000 and deadlifting over 900 as well as benching in the 550 range it's incredibly impressive. And yes, increasing body weight aids bench press performance a lot, so it's very much more impressive when a 300 pound guy benches 700 than a 400 pound guy.

@Ludichris8531 Who cares what was his bodyweight? Do whatever it takes to beat that shit load of weight. If you think extra bodyweight helps than do it.

[Ludichris8531]

James Henderson weighed 390 pounds and did not deadlift or squat more than Ed Coan. He benched more than him, but again, he weighed 390 pounds when he benched 711 raw. And I'm not sure where you saw that Henderson squatted that much, he blew out his knee playing college football like 25 years ago. He only won bench press titles in the IPF.

Eddie is one of powerlifting's all-time best, no question. Here he smashes two touch-and-go reps with 555, raw, weighing under 230. When combined with his feats in the squat and the deadlift, it is obvious what a freak he truly is. Heck, the man pulled over 900 weighing, like, 219 pounds. Probably would have pulled more, but he wasn't ever able again to use a sumo stance, his preferred style.

Guy can just move weight like nobody's business.

@rantanen1 .this is true ....i will not lie i was a 505 bencher in my late 20's and then i went to the gear yes i did a perfect 600 pounder but the injuries i have from switching from non natural are to going last me forever i what a mistake .

@m5p944 he had a good structure he could bench a lot while deadlift shitloads or what are you trying to say ? or were you just dropping off some points?
