celebrity bench presses

[jeff00z28]

its sounds like a buncha bs to me. Most people that aren't that into lifting lie about their bench

[Ineversaidthat]

LOL Shaq says he can bench 455lbs, right below shaqs is arnolds schwarzeggnars which is also 455lbs, bull****.

[bruno]

some random poster posts a list of celebs benches that he never witnessed and has no proof of. that is as credible as the teen sections claims of lifts. no sources or video proof, take with a grain of salt

[RasLion]

I find some of those numbers VERY hard to believe.

Shaq - haha no way with those long arms does he bench even near that much

Will Smith - 385lbs eh i doubt that also, he was big in I robot but not 385lb BP big lol

Jack Lemmon - 300lbs/ Nah i don't believe that either.

Those are just the ones that poped out at me.

I think Shaq could do 455. He is a freakishly large man. But will Smith benching 385???? I have my doubts there.

[dtraynor]

I dont believe tiger woods meax, hes pretty small and I max out at 310.

Hard to believe...but its been documented several times in a few articles. He hits the weights pretty hard...he attributes his weightlifting to his long drives.

[KIDRR]

Wow most of those guys suck. The average 17yr old on here THAT PLAYS FOOTBALL" can bench atleast 405 and 315 for reps. I mean that's totally possible tee hee

[jckedup616]

I find it hard to believe that Yao can bench 300lbs with JaMarcus Russell only benching 335lb. JaMarcus Russell is huge. He used to truck linebackers while playing for LSU. Yao is so skinny there is no way he can bench that much

[Mr.Olympia23]

wtf Bush benches more than me

He's probably the most fit President in history, no joke.

[therorschach]

I hear Mike Tyson can bench 9,000 lbs

**** no wonder he keeps beating me in mike tyson's punch out

[hublife]

Umm...bull****. We never saw George Washington's Bench numbers. Find those stats and I may concede victory to you.

Washington > Bush

FTW

are you aware that Shaq is 7'1'' and was been roughly 350 pounds? That is a large human being. I guarantee he has benched 455...

And Tiger benchign 315 isn't that far fetched... he is in incredible shape. He's pretty good sized, especially for a golfer.

You guys are funny, you can't just judge someones bench by what they look like, especially when wearing clothes. And it's not like these are people you see every day, you see them on tv... many are much taller and larger than you would expect

[betes]

I'd like to see what they can deadlift.

[jeff00z28]

i guess i do believe them all. The thing about bench is that if u just keep doing it over and over ur pretty much bound to get to at least higher 200s now matter what ive noticed w/ people. I hardly ever hit flat barbell it just never worked as well for me physiquie wise

Umm...your aware you completely contradicted yourself with this post right? I mean seriously...read what you wrote again out loud.

lol

[laxster]

I don't think will smith benches 385, 300-350 would be my guess

[Mr.Olympia23]

You're funny

[JUSA]

Former Cowboys offensive lineman Larry Allen: Max - 700 lbs.

Yea, a bounce press with 3 giant spotters lifting 300-400 lbs off his chest...

[adoniscomplex]

no way the bush thing is current

[Pnoyz]

I bet they benched with good form as well.

/sarcasm.

[steltz02]

WOW WOW at President Bush and Tiger Woods.

[CRyan64]

George bush benches more then me wtf

^^yeah Tiger Woods can bench quite a bit

[Aichi]

i thought abe lincoln used to cruise through 10 ft. of snow or some **** to go borrow from the library, you know he must've been swole.

Really? I thought William Taft was??

[koartist20]

its funny how much bs this thread has in it... this is more like a what has everyone been rumored to bench, or what magical bench numbers did someone make up for these people, and then spread? I'd say most of the numbers are bull****. Larry Allen... he bench pressed witha powerlifting bench shirt, and had people help him. Bench shirts are known to add up too hundreds of lbs to ur bench press. They have suits for squats and deadlifts as well. And funny how the OP listed the world record raw bench press for mendelson, but shirted for allen... Scot Mendelson has bench pressed over 1000 lbs with a shirt, and rychlak has done 1010 lbs. And ya arnold has said before he did 500 lbs before, might have been just a little bit over 500, but I know it's at least 500 lbs. Now if he got these numbers wrong, or whoever made them up, I can guarantee u they got others wrong, lots of them. Especially since it's known that arnold did 500 lbs or more, and the record is over 1000 lbs... and that allen did his with a shirt.











1010 lbs bench press





scot mendelson 715 raw bench

No fcuking way.

Professional powerlifters who weight twice what he does can barely put up 900, no effin way jackman does that much.

It wasn't the squat. He put up 1,000 on the leg press.

It said squat in the guy's post, that is what i was responding to.
