1000 lb bench... possible?

[gettnlarge01]

Shortening the range of motion is part of the game on all big lifts.I trained with a guy who was 5'5" at 230lbs and grabbed the bar as wide as he could.He did a solid no bounce bench every time and worked out with 500lbs on the bench.Regardless of the range of motion these guys move alot of weight.

I agree with you 100 percent. Its just when your chest is so big that its only a 4-6 inch drop to touch it seems like its somewhat of and advantage compared to a smaller person who must drop 3-4x this length to hit chest. Again i am in no way tryin to take from the credit they deserve, witnissing that much weight being moved is amazing, but in my opinion a smaller person moving a huge anount of weight through a longer range of motion is greater.

A raw 1000lb bench....no. I would think 800lbs is possible though.
