For what it is worth, I was getting ~120 pounds out of my single ply shirt when competing – 380ish raw bench (never tested truly peaked and tested it) and 500 in the shirt.

If so, he didn’t just lift the weight, he absolutely smoked it

Is that what us Brits sound like to you guys?

He looked like he had a really soft lockout on that though. Makes me think that he relies very heavily on that speed. This was likely harder than it looked on video.

Fair point. It seems like a large proportion of these massive raw benchers have some insane speed off the chest, maybe something to do with raw vs geared that makes the acceleration more beneficial. If I saw a guy in the gym just press with that much bar speed, I’d normally assume he had a decent amount of weight left in him, but that can’t be the case here of these guys actually would be hitting the higher numbers

That cube-shaped upper body reminds me of Grant Pitts. Thick as he is wide.

Came here to post that. Weight just flew up like nothing, can wait to see him compete (hopefully)!

Equipped powerlifting is so silly but that’s an insane amount of weight to do anything with, much less bench.

Just wonder what damage he’s doing to his body/ joints shifting that much weight.
It’s a crazy amount of weight for the forearms to support.
