Arnold Expo question

[NEO1]

Who saw the booth where the had the 585lb bench set up? I forget who it was...anyway...... I was there and yea there were 6 plates on each side and yea the outside and inside plates said 45lbs but while I was there I saw 4 guys lift this weight. 1 rep, 2-2 reps and 1-10 reps. Ok, thats almost believable. But there is a video of a guy on you tube doing it 22 times. With ease! I had heard somewhere that it really wasn't 585...anyone know if there was any truth to this?

Thanks!

Those were fake plates, i know exactly what you are talking about. I walked over and grabbed one side and it flew up. I asked the guy what was up and he said it was about 220lbs. total.

Thanks, that makes quite a bit more sense.

they were hollywood weights, the same weights they used in rocky when it showed him doing squats.i talked to the guy there it was only 220lbs.they were just taking pics of people benching with the fake weights and sending it to their email so they could show the friends or whatever.
