Yeah yeah yeah ok calm down calm down! Ok so I think this is semi impressive. Lets look at the facts people. This kid is 5'10" with T-Rex arms. He bows his back and puffs his chest so much he only moved it like 5" at most. This would way more impressive if he was 6'6" and had arms that were 3' long. I'm not sayin the kid didn't do a good job, it just wasn't as impressive as it could have been. That's all.

I have a few hundred $$$$ that says you could not even hold that up without it crushing you much less moving it.

He's also wearing a bench shirt, which can add up to 300 lbs. on what you can normally bench.

That's simply not true...you read that a guy has a max lift with a shirt and a max lift shirt without a shirt and assumed the difference was the shirts value. It was simply what he has maxed in both scenarios.

These guys that lift at this level use the shirts (It provides stabilization and safety) so when a guy BENCHES 700 POUNDS he is compared against other guys that also used the shirts.

I'm not impressed by bench pressing a ton of weight in general, and if that's your thing more power to you. But you guys have to give the KID credit..... that's a LOT of weight.

Whats the deal??? Are you dating this guy??? I NEVER said I could do that! I am just saying it would be way more impressive if he actually pressed it more than he did. It would be more impressive to see Kevin Durant or someone with that stature do that. That's all I'm sayin.
