715lb RAW Bench

	2005/06/02, 08:10 PM 715 was done a while back...1-2 years ago...

mmaibohm Posts: 1,621 Joined: 2003/09/30	2005/06/07, 12:36 AM johns well it was not a lift done in a meet also. If you look cloasely the spotter isnt moving the bar for him. He has a real good spotter that it macking shure 1005 doesnt end up on his neck. Also have you ever held a thousand pounds in yout hands!! untill then dont be so quick to judge. Lets just say at even a static hold at 800 pounds your ears will ring and your bones not your muscles will shake. -------------- I am that which must be feared, worshipped and adored.

JohnS. Posts: 11 Joined: 2005/06/06	2005/06/07, 12:43 AM alright but Gene did it with no spotter holding it. but anways was 715lbs in a video or in a meet?
mmaibohm Posts: 1,621 Joined: 2003/09/30	2005/06/07, 01:17 AM Gene is a matter all his own I give him credit but that was one tight ass double layer shirt he was wearing. Rumor has it it took well over 30 minutes to pack him into that shirt lol. Mendelson has done over 800 in a meet shirted. I believe he has also done 715 raw in comp before. -------------- I am that which must be feared, worshipped and adored. The world is mine now and forever.No one holds command over me. No man.

The lock out was terrible and he really needed a spotter in there with him. -------------- I am that which must be feared, worshipped and adored.

He got the lift. scott has only gotten 713lbs so far in a meet. thats the raw world record at the moment. now dont get me wrong scott is a very strong guy so is ryan kennelly and Gene. i have a shirt but i like to lift raw but i have great respect for all those lifters b/c out of a comp they have all held over 1000lbs in there hands wich is something most of us will never get to do

Because I believe mike was talking about Genes 1005 lift, which was no competition lift. -------------- The best feeling in the world is the feeling you get after a tough set of squats after you step back from the power rack and throw up all over the floor.
