SCOT MENDELSON breaks all-time RAW bench press record

[JOKER47]

huge weight!!!

And people still think they are big and bad cause they can bench 300lbs.

And you know what? I will be big and bad when I hit 250x1 next week, then when I hit 265, then I will strut like a real bad-ass when I hit 315 for the first time.

I will continue to strut my ass off as long as I keep lifting more and more each week, month, year, or decade.......

So there.....

this is part of this thread
well, i used to think a 300lb bench was pretty awesome. now that i can do it, it's nothing. with the sub-cultural aspects of strength/fitness/bodybuilding that i immerse myself into, it's nothing.


i think it would be cool if i just bench 405 someday.

wants to be the first "without question" 800+ bencher I would imagine. Can you IMAGINE 800 on your wrists? Ever held 400?? geez...anyways, Scot being the current equipped and unequipped (bench shirt) record holder aint too shabby either.

Didn't Kennely already bench 800?

WOW, that's huge. Very impressive.

As I recall, Kenelly's lift (805?) was an exhibition, didnt go into the record books. I think his bench shirt didnt meet the requirements as it was open back.

will be great to see the two meet up in Columbus, benching in front of that crowd gets ME fired up - let alone the competitors. Blaring music and thousands of screaming musclehedz! Can't wait...

As I recall, Kenelly's lift (805?)

It was 800.1 according to an article in PLUSA. I just checked. He was lifting as a guest lifter.

No the lift was not recorded as an official record.. That is held by Scott Mendelson officially at 782.6 with the second place lift being Anthony Clarks 780.0. Anthony has also Bench 800 in an unofficial attempt a few years back...
