Haha...had a feeling it was Becca Swanson....she has more test in her than all of us here combined....

The grand was very impressive by Sam Byrd....can I ask what type of equipment he used? and it looked like a monolift? so no walkout? how was the depth? I only ask because I dont know the standards of this federation.

Not to hijack the thread but thoughts on Larry Allen the NFL 49ers player that benched 700 raw? does he have a shot at breaking Mendelson's record? seems like with less focus on bench than Mendelson he's 15lb away...if he retired from NFL and refocused his attention on bench seems like he'd destroy it....supposedly also squats 900 raw...one big mofo :)

You are mistaken on Larry Allen...he was with the Dallas Cowboys for years, and when he did that bench.

Yeah, Larry Allen was an all pro with Dallas for many years. He is well past his prime. Yes, he now is with the 49'ers.

I just mentioned it due to the fact I am a die hard Dallas Cowboy fan, and bringing up San Francisco...well, not cool. :):laugh::)

Larry Allen will always be a Cowboy to me as well!! He'll pull an Emmitt and retire as a Cowboy in the next few years.

I'm with you BB1...long time Cowboy fan and always will be.

Oh and CoolNate...Watch out next week...long time rivalry game coming up. Once again you'r gonna get to hear to Cowboys say "Who's ya daddy!"
