[Oregonstrong]

I wonder what his max is? Is it even anywhere close to 775? Thoughts
on this guys......

Heck he was even struggling when pushing up 405. I knew there was no way after seeing that.
But I'll give him some credit he's still pretty dam strong for his age. One day if he keeps after it he might reach the record. Just not today [emoji4]

 

[weighted chinup]

I agree with boiler, that was a definite no lift and I don't think hes anywhere near hitting that lift.

That being said, the guy is very strong for 20 and will most likely only be getting stronger so the potential is there.

 

[flenser]

If he keeps pulling stunts like that, he will end up too injured to get anywhere near the record.

 

[Masters Power]

That is classic video. He is good for about 450. With five guys pulling it off of him he couldn't press 725.

As Flenser mentioned he is lucky he didn't get hurt. You can see on his first attempt he couldn't even unrack 725. Just plain stupid, at this stage he and both the Wild Samoans combined couldn't bench 725.

Shit, to unrack 450 by myself would have me feeling pretty damn good. It wouldn't make me want to pull some crazy shit like this, but still impressive.

 

[HuckingFuge]

looking at him before he did the bench. I was saying no way can he bench that. he had no muscle maturity. than when he was practicing he was struggling with 405. I think he is stupid. he is stronger than me, but way more stupid than me.

 

[demonxp]

Hrs a liar, saying he's done 720 before.

 

[jymis]

Yah I'm with you all as soon as I saw him struggle with 405 for only two, I thought this was going to end in a tragic death. Luckily he was smart enough to have a lot of dudes around to get the bar off his chest. The dumbest part was the 2nd attempt.

 

[LSUTigers71]

That had to be some kind of joke ...im like eveybody else he just made 405 with help.

 

[Casca]

Damn ignorant mfers even allowing him to undertake such a feat. Shame on all of them.

He meant that he had doubled 360.

Upon thinking about this more, yea i have to agree with you. If my workout partner, who is around this guy's strength level(4-500 pound bench) wanted to attempt 700 pounds i think i would whack him with a 10 in the head.

 

[jesse]

he could of ended his lifting days right their. what a stupid thing to do. especially when having tribble lifting 405.

 

[zago]

I was watching this video thinking he was going to make it. When it ended I was like, "What the hell did I just watch?!?" It gave me a good laugh.

 

[GS44]

What do you expect he is a pro wrestler that still hasn't figured out that it isn't for real?
I can't believe how stupid some people are>>>
Note to myself ,if you can't bench 500 don't attempt 700(lol)

 

[powerlifter89]

LOL this guy would have struggled life or death with 405 without having that generous spotting. Defiantly not the sharpest tool in the shed.

 

[fokai500]

Not impressed at all. I've been considering ending this year at 480 but if I can't get 425 10 times unassisted I would never get under 480.
