I remember when I heard that Rychlak had done 1005 and thinking that it'd take at least four guys from the gym I was at to press that much. That's assuming we really could combine our pressing powers.

It'd still have taken three of us to press the raw bench record.

Okay guys I'm new to this, so don't tear me to shreds

Does raw = natural and shirted = geared ?

jc (still learning some of the terminology)

jc (still learning some of the terminology)

raw = without a bench pressing shirt
shirted = with a bench pressing shirt

(theyre specially made shirts taht are tight as all hell, and their elasticity helps you to push more weight, usually through your sticking point)
