Let's take a moment to appreciate the spotter who spotted 700lbs 3 times with one arm

[@bearshapedbubs6626]

thats the craziest thing about this video TBH. I hit 705 in a shirt and had 3 huge spotters inches away from the bar at all times. Super strong kid but he needs better support

[@slowgainsnonstop2882]

That man knows how to assist, his lifting better than two spotters i have seen before 😂😂

[@waltscrossfiresrt6]

Johnny Harris was under 300 when he benched 700 and that was in a competition so get the facts straight gym lifts and comp lifts are totally different

[@bouamermarouan779]

One arm and his in his finger of feet not even in the ground

[@NickWright]

I like this guy because he is real and relatable. He's just trying to hit his goals and he's not a typical content creator which alot of the times they seem fake or try to do things just for views.

[@IvanDjuric300]

I can’t even imagine holding that much weight in my hands. His hand shake would be crazy. Respect man

[@pbnsmf]

Never thought I’d see Chino Moreno take lifting so seriously, let alone hit a world class bench!

[@BreyFitness]

I love Joseph and I hope he gets 700 in the gym and soon in competition. However, he should start considering having 3 or 5 strong spotters when going for any RPE 8 - 10 lift with no safety bars. If that barbell slips off his hands he's dead, or if he tears a pectoralis/triceps he'll do more damage to it. There's no way the bar would be picked up quickly if one of the three happens. The spotter cannot deadlift 700 with one arm. (and with two arms, most likely.)

[@alexsiegel5529]

Thank you for the video Nick. Good to see you in front of the camera lifting up other athletes too with your platform

[@joshuamiller1366]

Literally over double my bench and I'm still proud of the weight I'm pushing. I hit 315 for one and I'm looking at this knowing there's no road I can take to lead me this far. Nice work beast

[@livestrongforever]

Nick thanks for this we need you! Joseph is gonna be successful i believe ❤it

[@PaigeYesLee]

Great video! 700 coming 💪

[@strongmike3457]

Not sure why we are considering this raw with the elbow wraps and the mat below both adding some assistance. For context my best bench with and without wraps are below. Raw: 485lbs at 210lbs body weight Elbow Wraps: 515lbs at 210lbs body weight Not sure what it would have been with a springy mat below me but I’m sure it would be more. That looks like a lot of additional support. Don’t get me wrong, Joe is an absolute freak and he has my upmost respect. I just don’t think we can consider this raw.

[@Blackbullet_racing]

Exactly, I'm sure when I experimented with it years ago I had around a 30lb increase with the wraps, I also paused that attempt tho so maybe could have gotten more up with a bounce. Just wish people would be honest about this stuff, it's far from raw.

[@joeysavino385]

Wraps ain’t raw, so you are correct.

[@utoober33]

You have a crazy bench bro (i have poverty bench only 260 at 195) but i find it funny how no one said anything like you a hater or anything. Your take completely make sense. Had I raised the same concern, i would be called a hater and that i have no business commenting. I think this is what's wrong with strength community nowadays

[@javiwawi43]

oh sure , it was the elbow wraps that helped him bench that much! those damn wraps.. gosh what a cheater

Strong, but with those elbow wraps and that bounce, it's hard to say what his actual competition max would be

[@TheBlah7777]

Id Guess around 640-650 but your right hard to tell. But insane at 265lbs none the less.

[@Blackbullet_racing]

@@TheBlah7777 yeah my guess is anywhere from 630-650 max with a pause and no elbow wraps. Maybe 650 is very generous tho. 🤔

Anything past 1 attempt is insane; but the 3rd rep was the slot for sure!

[@DANA-lx8cv]

Insane strength. My max is 140kg at around 170 to 175 pounds, age 51, super natty. Hoping to go past that soon. I don't know what i could do using that style, as i bring it down much slower and do a very light touch to the chest before pressing and never bounce it. Just too risky for me. Still amazing to see anybody handle that kind of weight.

[@s.c8949]

Bro 140kg at 170lbs at 51 years old is still really good.

[@notimportant3686]

man, i'm younger than you but i don't even ATTEMPT 1 rep maxes anymore, i think it's too risky, and other than self gratification and ego what is really the point for me?... i train to have the body i want, not to lift the most amount of weight... so i actually have no clue whatsoever what my one rep max is, or 2 rep max, etc.... i don't think it's worth the risk for me... i know my best ever set on the bench press was 315lbs x 12

he will most certainly get it soon enough, it moved super quick off the chest. IK his wrists are prolly made of iron or suttin but maybe Joesph should consider using those super stiff wrist wraps at this point, 700 is fkin nothing sort of insane and at his body weight, it's just mindblowing. Also, hope bro adds in side spotters aswell because 1 man ain't spotting that if a freak accident happens.

[@nemohoes5923]

agreed about the side spots but its tough for them to even do anything when there is no room even left on the bar to grab haha

​@@josephmangano3261Jons best bench in competition in the 198lb class was 589.7lbs. He hit 600 in the 220 class and it was actually 600.7lbs not 605, he did it at the USPA pro raw championships in 2022 and weighed in at 210lbs so still an incredible pound for pound bench but yeah I mean I say its still even more impressive (if looking at just 1 lift, because John does have the most impressive all around total strength imo) to hit 700 in the 275 class.

For the 800 range he’d have to be 350lbs at least. And that’s still ridiculous considering the only one who’s come even near 800 is Julius and he’s over 400

bruh, your numbers are way off, approximately 1 in 10 000 people bench 315 in the general population. If we're talking about 500+, it has to be something like 1 in 1 million (if not lower). So it's more like 99.9999% of people don't bench 500+.
