I is not 900. He got 900 with a denim shirt. We are talking about a max without a shirt. 713 sounds correct.

Lifted in competition or in the gym?

 

[JT Iron]

I don't know. But it is officially the raw record, so it must have been competition.

Assertive: RAW = done without supportive equipment like a bench press shirt.

His 713 was in competition, gym lifts don't count. He topped big James Henderson's 711. And I bet he's good for more than that now.
