Congratulations to Dimitry Voronov for setting the new Junior BP world record of 605lbs! Although I warm up with that much, it’s not too bad for a 21 year old.
I’ll see if I can post the video…
I believe this is it.
Yea I saw that on a few other forums thats awesome congragulations…big martin
He’s a big fucker. Cool.
My friends training partner is a junior and has benched 625 in competition. I will see if I can get more details (where the meet was, organization, etc).
Good for him. There’s no way I could move that weight. But wasn’t that ugly? I mean he dumped that bar so far forward that I thought he was going to have to sit up!
That’s one of the things I dislike about powerlifting. The whole ‘lift it by any means possible’ never maid sense to me. I guess it does from a powerlifting sense, but when it comes to training athletes…
Here we go again. Just stirring the pot.
Rob, I actually thought the bench in the video was kind of ugly. It came up a bit uneven.
Rob, the bench is the ends in powerlifting, not the means to an end like it might be in training athletes for other sports. Powerlifters ARE athletes. I think you understand this somewhat, but geeze. Quit getting me all fired up.
By the way, taking the bar low like that is key to using a denim bench shirt, for those that have no clue why one would do that.
rob sounds like some of these coaches i work with who want there athletes to do sport specific stuff, you know like chewing a piece of gum while balancing on a wabble bard doing the hokie pokie with a 5 pound dumbell in each hand when the damn athlete cant do 200 pound squat to parrelel…lol…big martin
Must be all the cardio they do
with a name like fitnforty you sure you shouldnt be posting at muscle bearz lol, see this is what I was talking about in the other thread powerlifters never think about fitness guys or bodybuilders or forty year old fags who like to do cardio with there man-partners, but they cant wait to start shit on us…jealousy is all, it is jealousy, think about this dimitry can do a 605 shirted bench that mean he has raw bench of at least 500 pounds and that is giving him the maximum he can be getting out of his shirt, now how cool would rob coates or fagnforty be if they could bench 500 raw really fucking cool to all the other members of there fitness fag gyms or if they could bench 405 for 5 reps, but they cant neither one of them can probally bench 300 so instead of seeing the big picture they dont they get jealous and talk shit because they know they cant do it…big martin
Haha
I think fitNforty was making a joke martin. I dont know how you interpreted it…
Ok, I just got some of the info I was looking for. The guy’s name is Dave Gulledge. He benched 700 as a junior at the SLP State Fair in Missouri. The video of it can be seen at IronGame.com.
Scroll down till you see the Missouri Championships - about 1/3rd way down.

BTW, scroll a few more pictures down and youll see his brother Kyle DLing 800 in the 18/19 yr old class.
Vronov’s Bench was done in a different organization, therefore he has the junior world record for THAT organization. The problem with powerlifting in the USA is that there are so many organizations with different rules that it’s getting ridiculous.Unfortunately, Son Light Power meets are basically anything goes, no-rules meets and don’t typically receive the same respect that lifts in some of the bigger organizations receive because of the lack of rules. However, I have seen the video of Dave Gulledge’s bench and it was certainly one hell of an awesome bench no matter what organization it was done in.
Martin,
I definitely have to head to indiana and lift with yah bud. We would drink our preworkout beers, and have our postworkout beers.
Seriously if I’m planning on being in that area, I’ll have to drop you a line. Iowa isn’t that far away.
He needs to get a checkup from the queer eye for the straight guy crew. he’s ugly as hell.
Kyle looks like he’s 40 years old. Look at the hair on his back. It’s either back hair, or extended pit hair.
Since when are PLers supposed to be pretty people? Both brothers will end up setting records, no matter what the organization is. To have so much potential in one family is amazing. Ive met the two of them and they are some of the most helpful and humble guys Ive ever met. I learned last night that Dave is shooting to hit 800 by next summer on the bench, as long as he remains injury free.
