1000 lb bench... possible?

[jimm]

Oh my goodness, powerlifting is just that powerlifting, is not to be compared to "real world strength. Not everything you try to lift will have a bar attached to it. hear we go again with apples and oranges. the argument with gear is never ending, yes it does help the lift, but come one the shirt is not going to hold 1000lbs at arms length. most powerlifter who train for geared lifts do not train for raw maxes, so to compare the two is just not right.

It will be done.
Id like to see some serious deadlift numbers move up though. The record for this lift has been stuck for ages.
It will be a sad day when the WR for bench surpasses the WR Deadlift, and starts getting close to the squat record :S

Last year Andy Bolton broke Doyle Kennedy's record weighing in almost 150lbs lighter than Doyle who's record stood for almost 20yrs. There are just too many more joints envolved in deads than bench for the same types of returns.

Cheers,
