Have you guys seen this?

They are talking about Larry Allen (Cowboys lineman) tonight and show him doing a "700" lb bench with his spotter doing a deadlift above him. How many of these ball players are full of shit when they talk about their lifts I wonder. Especially at the combines! There are exceptions like Gary Frank who played ball and are truly strong, but damn guys, come on! I would love to see what these guys would do in a real meet, against truly strong powerlifters.

I seen that on tv today also. 2 man bench/row with a super bounce. He is strong, but there are a lot of people out there more deserving of bench pressing publicity. In my opinion.

It was a joke. I would be surprised if he could do 500 with a legitimate pause and no "spotter".

It is cool that bench pressing got a crap load of publicity though.
