700-pound bench press DROP (pic)

Dear God..I can't fathom dropping that kind of weight on me.. Just think if that had landed on his throat... wow

how can your rib cage sustain the force of 700pounds+pressure of the velocity weight?

I just dont see how that bar didnt go right through him..... literally

Re: thumb.jpg

I'm looking REAL close at his grip and I think he has his thumb wrapped around. with 700 pounds it really doesnt matter either way once you "lose it" or get out of your groove. You can see that the spotters didnt have any time to react. a scary moment!

It does like like a good grip there but I dunno about you guys but my thimbs dont move that way...hehe, maybe his didnt until now either

Had a guy drop 440 on his chest in a meet I attended last year. Was not a good thing, but amazingly he did not get hurt either.

I guess if you have the chest to bench a certain weight, then you probably have the chest to drop that weight on you without killing yourself.

I imagine tho, that had the 700 dropped on the throat rather than chest, Mr. Frank would have lost his head. Of course his neck is bigger around than my thighs, so maybe he wouldn't have. But if I dropped 7 bills on myself, it would hit the bench, with very little reduction in rate of fall upon contacting my body.

garry is a VERY big boy, 6'3" or so and nearly 400 if I am not mistaken. In person he is a beast, with VERY big bones - a lesser man would probably be dead. a true testament to his size
