1000 lb bench... possible?

[Throw2Far]

Why are shirts allowed... its such fucking bullshit... the powerlifting indrusty hit a hault with kazmaier's 661 and ever since then jumps have been due to the Bench shirt... Gene Rycelak won't ever break 661 w/o a shirt... Thats all that matters...

And for Kaz's record, IMO it still stands... He did it w/o a bench shirt or squat suit... he coulda done 2800 instead of 2425 in a matter of no time with a shirt/suit.

Acctually Scott mendelson just beat the raw bench record with 715!!!

Agreed, Today's best are monsters and strength legends, however I just think that the numbers are inflated due to the bench shirt.

My point was not to say that Kazmaier had the best raw ever, but to say that a feat like Medelson or Kazmaier's should go down in the record books as WR's, not these inflated bench shirted lifts.

Why not give Mendelson the WR @ 715 lbs and not some bullshit inflated 975 pounds.

Yes 975 pounds is an amazing feat even with a shirt, however it makes a man like Kazmaier @ 661 or Medelson at 713.2 look like a pussy, when in fact both are truly stronger.

Shirts are an inflation of true strength and should be banned.

I can bench raw 530 lbs. If I train for a year with a bench shirt and hit 662 can I walk around saying im a 662 lb bencher. Fuck no.

Why dont we just lower the basketball hoop? Make the Football Field shorter? How bout soccer goals bigger? Ya that'd be a great way to prove that today's athletes are getting better and better...

I guess in our quest for the 1000 lb bencher we will take it any way we can get it...

PS

Kazmaier took the record up to 661 and in 20+ years it has only increased 54 pounds, not 339 lbs. That is what I meant by hault, not that no one had broken it. When I said IMO it still stands that was for the WR Total. For benching, yes Mendelson for this era and Kazmaier for the last (even though Mendelson couldn't hold Kaz's jock strap in the squat or deadlift), but fuck the WWE version of Powerlifting, Shirts are for show...

I was under the impression that a man had already benched 1005 pounds. Im pretty sure because me and my friend were arguing bout it and I said that I didnt think is was nearly possible.

And as far as the shirt thing goes yes it does help, yes if you train in one you can gain a lot from it. But simple fact is you still have to lock out the weight on your own so your joints and muscles still have to be strong enough to move the weight. If you don't want to bench in a shirt fine just quit bitching about people who do. If you take PL'rs equipment away then you need to take away runners high tech shoes and suits and have them run barefoot cause that's how the greeks did it. Football players shouldn't be allowed to use pads, all baseball bats should be made of single wood ash and the balls should be loose hand wrapped, all the supplements, protein powders and other modern fare needs to be eliminated.

We take it for granted that other sports get to use equipment to make them better why should it be any different for powerlifting. As said before the bench doesn't lift the weight for you. And I'd bet anyone on this board any amound that no matter what equipment they put on they'll never reach 1,000lbs bench.

End rant.
