Mendy was 317 when he pressed 715 and about 301 when he pressed 701 in October of 2002 in California. He also pressed 713 before he presses 715 but there is no footage of this. James Henderson pressed 705 on a world IPF meet and then 711 in a USPF meet a year or two later in Philadelphia which is an IPF-affiliate.

Right, well the Larry Allen bench was a bounced rep with three spotters touching the bar the entire time. Obviously he’s extremely strong, but he couldn’t have done what he did in a powerlifting meet. If he dedicated his life to powerlifting instead of football, he may well have benched 700 officially. No doubt As for Arcidi, he’s from Buffalo so of course I like the guy, but that was in a bench shirt

I used to be a competitive bench press through NASA and USPF. And like everyone else competing I had a single ply bench shirt. Like your friend I couldn't touch my chest without 405 on the bar. I broke several state, national and world records. In a single ply, I did this as a teenager and before I got sick and had to quit I did a 525 in a local meet. At the time my raw bench was 495. So the bench shirt does help but it depends on how the shirt fits you. I only ever used an Inzer advance designs single ply personally. I did that at a body weight of 187 lbs.

I love lifting raw while training because of the way it makes me feel. When I compete I want to lift the most amount of weight possible even if it means using equipment because I get a different feeling from competing since its not about the pump and more about a 1 rep max.

This is so damn good to hear! That the dudes benching this kind off weight are tall guys as everyone allways saying that short guys have it alot easier. But short guys have less mass also so i think it evens out quiet well.

"Big" Jim Williams was actually the first man to bench over 700 pounds. He did 705, not officially, but before credible witnesses in the gym. Since he held the American record officially at 675, I believe he did get the 705 fifty years ago.
