Joseph needs to stop training with cap barbells as a 700 lb bench presser. Get out of the commercial gym bro you are advanced

[@Reppintimefitness]

😂

[@user-sc1es4wz4g]

Very agreed better competitive environment too

[@bigguy4u989]

nah he’s early intermediate trust me bro

[@lunatik8272]

I think he said that it’s his dads barbell that was passed down to him

[@ayda2876]

maybe there are no betetr gyms where he lives

[@AdderalI]

Been a fan of you for like 10 years, watching your videos were a big part of what got me into my fitness journey all those years ago. Glad to see you coming back

[@Harley.1]

I don’t know man. imo you can’t call that a complete lift with elbows wrapped that tight. Still an epic lift.

[@thearm95]

yeah maybe has 661 or so without the elbow wraps which would equal Kaz back in 1981 but about 80lb lighter bodyweight!

[@ayda2876]

shut up

[@KMSWeightsNWelding]

Impressive lift by all means. though if I critiqued anything from my highly unqualified non expert point of view. I wasn’t overly excited to see the the eccentric control and spring back of the bar on the touch and go give a lot of momentum to the lift. He’s in the history books now regardless.

[@dantemarotta356]

Remember when Eric Spoto came out of nowhere to hit those 700 pound benches well this reminds me of those days. Incredible benching even more so at his weight.

[@Naturalfittness4ev]

I'm 38. Going for 500lb bench. Sitting at 435lb right now

[@josel3861]

You don’t bench 435 bro Probably you barely do 305 .

[@Naturalfittness4ev]

@@josel3861 your opinions on my bench don't matter. Have a gr3at day sir

[@GudMarty]

@@josel3861I’ve benched 440 in the gym. It’s doable

[@Yagayee]

I just hit 405 last Sunday. Going to progressive overload until I get to 500 at a lower body wieght. Being over 300lbs isn't necessary or healthy for me. But the strength increases are insane at this wieght

[@PaigeYesLee]

Congratulations to him! Great video Nick 😊💪

[@Kharrison2718]

I’ve been watching a lot of the rebuild series and the comeback series on your channel. Good to see an upload man! Team R.I 💪🏼

[@Richard-xg1vv]

Great video Nick, you know your stuff here ! You explained it perfectly for all the sticklers !

[@wille7319]

I had no idea who this guy was until you mentioned him. Incredible feat of strength. Love your enthusiasm for the sport. Subscribed

[@NoMoTheUFO]

SPECTACULAR! He's in a league of his own. Let's use this as motivation to crush our goals and to keep striving to be our best.

[@livestrongforever]

Always great to see your uploads! Joseph is a Beast! If he can do this with calibrated plates this will be even more insane, i do not know how much those gym plates weigh

[@bananabana6630]

Congratulations job done well. Never gave up especially being so close.You did it.

[@Justinsox39]

Insane

[@benschilling546]

The difference between this and a meet bench is huge. I wouldn’t be surprised if Tumbarello could only do 650 in an actual meet. Plus with the way plates aren’t perfectly accurate anyway, he might have only benched 690-695, there’s just no way to know without calibrated plates. Not to take anything away from him but doing it in a meet is a whole different thing

[@tobib7143]

He might’ve benched more or less, we’ll never know for sure. 😅😮

[@TheLegMan1]

Uncalibrated plates weight goes both ways, sometimes they can be 46 lbs and even up to 49 lbs. This almost means each side can have an uneven level weight

[@JohnTaylor-bd1uy]

Fake weights? 700 at your local corporate gym is unheard of.

[@lichtsoldat7697]

Guy is a monster!! Well done. Wow!

[@danielthompson8867]

Very impressive...def the lightest but strongest guy I ever seen or heard of...cant believe the number he puts up for his weight

TEAM ANIMAL GO SIGN THE MAN 😝😝👑👑👑

[@josel3861]

I rly don’t understand Johnny used wrist wraps in competition And Joseph used elbow wraps in the gym but what is the difference?

[@targettmark88]

thats crazy :)

[@vinceromero7013]

700 awesome bench I'm at 375 myself

[@ultrazls1]

Looks like he found some even tighter elbow wraps. Still absolutely insane. Without wraps and a pause probably more 650 range though

[@IamLEGENDkb24]

wouldn't call wraps raw... sleeves? yes...

[@mustafayaqub9713]

Yo nick I used watch ur videos when I got into bodybuilding when I was young you've been around for time god bless man I used to look upto you I stopped lifting but man bring back memories g hope ur doing well god bless 🙌

[@ricky0477]

Pan con bistec and croqueta power .. his is Miami bi…

[@stephenbradleyadams]

Spotter did not touch the bar ???

[@NickWright]

Correct

[@windsolarupnorth7084]

I'd rather see him lifting paused bench. If he can do 620-630lbs with a paus it still would be more impressive than bouncing the barbell for two thirds of the lift.

[@imapanda2434]

Who tf are you 💀

[@Barneyfithlawman]

Have him do a touch and go without the bounce. No doubt he's a great bencher I would be surprised to 600 which would be more impressive

[@chriscota1635]

I wouldn’t call it a bounce. But he definitely sunk it into his chest

[@silatguy]

He has 600 for 3 paused on his IG

[@michaellopez2070]

@@chriscota1635it’s definitely a bounce. Julius Maddox sinks it into his chest, which is an advantage too, but if this isn’t a bounce, idk what is.

[@chriscota1635]

Looks like a gym bench to me. We have all seen worse bounces than that. He maintains some control throughout the lift. Definitely not competition standard. But I say a solid lift at 700 lbs which is more than most people will ever deadlift or are even capable of deadlifting.

[@chriscota1635]

I have never seen any bounce add 100 lbs to a lift, much less more than that.

[@darius_oneofone]

0:03 / 0:27 Jeremy Hoornstra ?🤔

[@mikescott152]

Maybe he has a bigger bench, but I think pound for pound John Haack is stronger at 208. Let’s see what this guy can deadlift and squat?

[@killiantitan3711]

Why is there always someone that just has to find something negative to say. He benched 700lbs while being well under 300lbs in bodyweight. That is insane strength. This isn't about comparing one man to the next, it's about acknowledging how insanely strong this guy is.

[@Richard-xg1vv]

@@killiantitan3711 Well said.

[@ayda2876]

cringe shut up

[@MR12AMAZING]

We’re talking about bench. Squat and deadlift are irrelevant in this discussion.

[@Morris.Andrew]

Edit: Larry wheels is fucking crazy if he thinks his own product only adds 3% to your bench, he did 675 with his wraps and his best bench ever raw was like 630-640 in the gym and in comp this mother fucker did an additional 35-45lbs over that under gym settings using his sleeves and elbow wraps. Speaking as someone who also uses a pair please if you read this understand those wraps can actually add about 40-50lbs onto your bench if you're already strong off your chest. My raw max bench is 385 and I have done 420lbs in the wraps granted though I have not tested either of my maxes in or out of them rn, but everytime I have there has been that much of a difference in weight for me when I used them. 700lbs is 700lbs, but lets not be over the top with this accomplishment. This 700lbs was and is not done in a sanctioned meet, plus this weight was done with sleeves and wraps and Idc what people say that shit adds poundage to your bench when combined and im speaking from experience. Impressive accomplishment, but for this to be "history made" it needs to be done in a competition and im sure joseph himself knows this, but just simply wanted to hit this weight.

[@benson3b656]

Larry hit a paused 660 lb comp standard bench

[@Morris.Andrew]

@benson3b656 yeah that's the only one I didn't see, thanks for the awareness.

[@asborisov1]

Impressive but that lift won’t count in iPf or Legit competition

[@fatboitino2]

Typing Scondore in, still brings me right to your channel. Tired of getting that other Nick Wright

[@skyepower]

john haack 600lbs at 198lbs is more impressive. comp standard no bs elbow things and paused

Elbow wraps don't count

Obviously bro it’s a gym pr not a competition 😂 he literally covers that and joe also knows
