New world record raw bench


ChimpGrip

Recommended Posts

I guess to one day achieve my raw bench press goal, I will have to lift an unprecedented 800 pounds.

Only five people have ever benched 700 raw or more. Scott Mendelson, Kirill Sarychev, James Henderson, Eric Spoto, and Julius Maddox.

Keep in mind raw =/= equipped

The equipped record is 1102, equipped meaning the use of a bench press suit.

Raw means, as you probably expect, no bench suit.

On a sad note, Franco Columbu passed away. He was 78. Besides being a 2 time Mr. Olympia he was also a great powerlifter who was freakishly strong. At 185lbs he also had competed in the 1977 World's Strongest Man competition taking 5th place. 

BP 525lbs

SQ 655lbs

DL 750lbs

He was a legend. Beyond strong for his size too. 

He will be missed

I’d trade size with him in a heart beat. So damning to be 5’8”, whether you’re wanting to be super strong or chase women it’s a hinderance  

Maybe try for some country women....🤔

you can wear cowboy boots...🤣

Even if you can't stand country music, a couple extra inches at the bar never hurt when trying to get a drink....LOLOL

Country women are... ok. Hygiene starts to fall off at some point. 

Wearing cowboy boots? Maybe lol. I’ve thought about shoe inserts though

You can get a good 3-4 inches 👍 and it's probably the only legit excuse shoe 😉 

Even at 6 foot I used to wear them to the bar just to be able to see above the sea of heads...

Huge difference in vision in certain places at 6'4'' 😄
