Pretty impressive. Wonder how thoroughly fact checked that article is.

That was a "legal" lift and of course very impressive.

IIRC, Lucious Selmon amazed everyone by benching ~600lbs when he arrived at OU. 700lbs is a hell of a lot of weight to lift, no matter how short your arms might be...

Dang! I was benching 355 just out of high school and that was high back in 92. However, no power suit! Wonder what he puts up without the suit?

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.

Appeared fairly effortless, seems like he could have done 5o lbs more.

What are you smoking? The kid is in HIGH SCHOOL and just did a legal STATE RECORD bench of 700 POUNDS.
