I won't doubt that the weight is impressive. I don't think I ever want to lift that much though. I just don't like the great risk of injury on the rotator cuffs.
Props to him, though.

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 to shabby either.

Question 1: What exactly is a bench shirt?
Question 2: Do these dudes have to tough the bar to their chest?
I personally dont let the bar touch(about 2 - 3 inches off)

bench shirt is a supportive shirt worn by competitive powerlifters. protects the lifter from injury some and allows more weight to be pressed. bar has to be slightly paused while on lifters chest in competition before judge yells "PRESS!" Very strict and more difficult than a "touch and go" bench press. You really should consider touching the bar to your chest for a complete range of motion. and so people wont laugh and point. 
he made 766 look damn easy last year, three 700+ benches in one meet - amazing!
