A discussion on her

Sounds like just another bogus claim to me.

Great great...but how big are her calves?

VariantInterval · 06-13-2007, 12:17 PM

Agree.

560 lb is ridiculous.

Here are google hits about her benching:

Can't really find a lot more... google around.

Where does she say that it was raw?

EDIT: Nevermind, I see it's claimed to be at least 500 raw in the links.

I can't really see any option when claiming a 455*6 bench too. I am/was under the impresssion that repping with a bench shirt (for 6 reps!!) would be highly unusual.

Also, I googled her and it said somewhere .." bla bla 500 lb no shirt bench bla bla"

Newbtime · 06-13-2007, 04:13 PM

retards that make these claims come and go, the people that prove themselves will be around for a long time..

anyone blowing records away like this would be competeing, shes already a competitive bodybuilder...

XX1 · 06-13-2007, 05:06 PM

I claim all kinds of BS....id believe it when i saw a vid of the bar loaded plate by plate and then her doing it.

LockOut · 06-13-2007, 05:22 PM

this is absolutley fake...that would be the heaviest female bench ever equipped even i believe and at 172lbs...please. Give me a break, that is a guy first of all and the best male lifters in the world at that weight only bench low 4's raw.

"I NEVR post here, but i have been a member for year. I also work out at the gym Heather works out at. Its a World Gym up in North Jersey. Let me tell you, this girl is f*cking strong. I have seen her repping out 5 plates on a DL with just a belt. I have also seen her repping out 395 several times on the flat bench. Its just amazing to wittness. So basicly all you jerk-off should shut the f*ck up, Your just scared that a girl is stronger then you. How about you get the f*ck off the internet boards and go lift some weights. Exactly why I dont post at tis sight, bunch of jealous haters!!!"

- check out the thread in the IFBB section.

I dont want to sound crazy, but something about that video just isnt right. I dont know what it is maybe the speed at which she lowers the weight or something.

Also when it goes to the wide shot...look at the weights on the left side, it could be the lighting but they look digital almost.

LMAO !

Why didn't they just load the bar up until there wasn't any more room on the collars? Must have run out of fake plates.

Above Existence · 06-13-2007, 07:22 PM

LOL Anybody that actually believes that vid would have no choice but to be a FOOL! lol

bthom65 · 06-13-2007, 07:26 PM

wow lol

ussjtrunks · 06-13-2007, 07:29 PM

Granted there are certain lifts that it is less power needed when you are smaller, and the fact that women's skeletons are usually half the size and weight of a man's, a woman of 172lbs can have at least 25lbs more muscle than say a man at 172lbs, unless she is 5'10" and he is 5' even. THe highest I have ever known raw max bench by someone of that size was around 320lbs I beleive that was a few years back. I know when I was 21 and was repping 275lbs for a 6 set at 175lbs, there was no woman I had ever seen that could do that raw. I am consistently getting blown out of the water by women at squat and dl. Bench is another story. I am a thin 5'10" 180lbs and have to push the bar about 5 times further than a 5'7" woman with a wide grip and her back arched. At most she is moving the bar, with 395lbs or more, a good 4 inches. When I bench 315lbs now, the bar moves about 15 inches. Who is stronger, I don't know, but I do know that benching at 5'10" with a 74" wingspan is harder than if your 5'2" with a 60 inch wingspan. For that small of a movement the bench shirt probably holds up 200lbs. She maybe can do a legit raw no arch 315lbs, and that would be rather impressive.

lalachingon · 06-13-2007, 07:34 PM

No woman has done 400 lbs. We go according to powerwatch lifting records. Atleast it is proved there.

I don't think Heather can even bench 560 lbs. I don't see this lady breaking a world record for benching. She is not even a powerlifter, she is a bodybuilder.

And she is not one of the best bodybuilders. Last year in NPC Nationals 2006, she ranked 14th there.

She is not even a powerlifter.

jmil · 06-13-2007, 10:19 PM

You guys see her amazing feat of strength, after her amazing feat of strength in this video yet?.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iD8ri...elated&search=

drdeadlift · 06-13-2007, 10:52 PM

The world raw bench record for a 198 lb man is 562 lbs, Michael MacDonald I believe set that record. If she didn't do the lift in a legal competition, then she didn't do the lift period.

WowWeakForum · 06-13-2007, 11:01 PM

Well fine, but she really did bend that bar, because there are no competitions for olympic bar bending.

RIPcookiethief · 06-13-2007, 11:24 PM

...yeah
