are you sure? got a link showing he set a new world record?

i found this video over at irongame.com in the video's section:

Scot Mendelson - 2005, August 6th, APF California Meet - 415kg/914lb Bench Press, 457.5kg/1008lb Bench Press miss @ 308

Ican't video link it, because it the link on the page goes straight to a wmp application. you will have to go to irongame.com and find the video. It's the first one listed under Scot Mendelson. if you look at it, by the time his spotter takes his hands off the bar, it is already half way lowered to his chest. he never even held the weight at lock out

Looks good on the first couple angles, but once you see that last shot - doesn't count in my book.

Those are the old vids

This was a day before his meet in CA. The Fit Expo. He hit 1008 , misgroved on 1030 and his shirt ripped on 1049. I can't remeber what he hit at the arnolds

i don't think the first couple shots were with the same weight.

He bombed out twice at 1,014 at the arnold. First time he came down funny, second time he popped it off his chest and it went for his head (great catch by the spotters). I was about 10ft from the stage when he tried it, about half the crowd left after he was out.

Cheers,
Scotsman

there is a photo of him on the cover of the new powerlifting usa mag that just came out, it was last month apparently, and yes he blew his shirt on a third with 1049 holy s--- !
