Bench press record broken.......

[jltrent]

Jimmy Kolb 1120Lbs biggest bench of all time no matter what weight class and he did it in a single ply bench shirt

That's crazy!

 

[Hpacres440p]

Better have some dang trustworthy (strong) spotters!

 

[Lucky]

My gosh. Not sure I could do the 120 part these days

 

[Redgully]

That is seriously insane. When i was 15 we were trying to prove.....actually not sure what we were trying to prove. A group of us guys at school were trying to out do each other when we found a bench press set up. I did 180 pounds and for my macho man attitude couldnt move my arms for a week! Now i just need to add another 1000 pounds.

 

[Richnm]

I wonder if he was eating a grower or a finisher ?

 

[Lucky_P]

Think I did 400#, 1 rep, in my HS days. Routinely worked out with 180-200. Probably couldn't do 40# today.

At 15? Probably who had the highest concentration of testosterone.

If that were the case, he woulda been doing pushups.......

Didn't you play college ball? You probably had pretty good numbers.

I was in that range.

Shakespeare covered more poignant subjects than this in "Much to do,,,,,,,,,,,,,, .(Big Yawn )

 

[TennesseeTuxedo]

I thought it was “ado”?

 

[HDRider]

I thought some dude might have entered the girls

I thought it was “ado”?

aye it is! which makes the yawn even more defining...

That's incredible. I was weaker in H.S.....I did 280lbs (once) when I was 55, I have a really dominate strong-left arm that did most of the work, wasn't pretty. That was a few years back. I might only be able to do 220 now. You lose 1 %/year of your strength after age 40 and then 2%/year of your strength after age 50.
My whole outlook on fitness...boils down to one thing....if you fall off a roof or cliff and are dead-hanging...can you pull yourself up using your arms and your entire body to save yourself?...if you can, you passed the best fitness test you'll ever need in life.

10-4 Your contribution leaves no doubt behind the meaning of 'pulling your own weight' .

I knew people that made steroids out of Synovex. It’s very common in the gym world.

 

[Nesikep]

I've never been any good at bench presses.. AT ALL.. but I can lift a lot, and despite being left handed, I'd win arm wrestles against much better built people than me.
TexasRancher, yes, I can lift myself up no problem, chin-ups and such I'm good at




This is also totally me.. I have installed engines without a hoist a number of times
