1000 lb bench... possible?

[BIGJGrimm]

1,000 will fall and not that far off. Less than 5 yrs ago 800 was not going to fall, now 900 is almost a reality if Mendelson wants it to be. The better training gets and our diets get the faster these weights will start to fall.

Later....

Yeah, really hoping Mendelson doesnt retire. It would be cool as F' to see 1k broken in my lifetime.

Wouldnt 1000lbs just obliterate your wrists?

But kaz did it flat back, paused it on his chest for three seconds, and no bench shirt. Plus he was doinf that weight for reps in the gym. Also that was before his strength prime. He tore his pec in the bar bend in wsm. If he didn't he woul have benched 800 raw imo. Nobody is stronger today than kaz was.

Kaz also used zero leg drive.

Do you know anything about his old training? I have been trying to find it for a long time and I have have found nothing.

In theory you can develop your wrists in proportion to your bench but I am sure that becomes harder and harder with the impossible weights.

bill crawford does lockouts with 1000+ lbs. His wrists have never exploded.

I don't know for sure... but the reality is that those are very, very small bones.

Metacarpals or elbow joint would be the places to fail, if a fail occurred with 1000.

I think lifters are getting closer to the limits of their tendons, joints, and small bones. So, maybe some one will have the pure strenght to lift a grand... but to actually perform the lift is a different story.

Still... doesn't seem totally impossible

Are we all forgetting the 1000+lb bench of Jimmy 'I'm full of bull' Pellechia??

Seriously though........I can see it happening. The equipment is getting here so we just need a dedicated big man to wear it.
