You watching the BENCH PRESS contest on WWE now?

imo - 585 is bullshit - I personally saw him do a top end set with 405 for 7 reps in Atlanta

flashback: anyone remember the old Road Warriors vs. The Barbarian and some other dude in the bench press? way old school, I'm probably the only one.

I remember the late Dino Bravo pretending to break a world record (700lbs at the time, I think) which never appeared in any records books and we never heard anything else about it after the event.

Might've had something to do with the fact that he didn't get it at all and Jesse Ventura almost popped a hernia while "spotting" him....

.... Mean Gene Okerlund tried to maintain some credibility and disguise the embarrassing failure by pretending he actually got the weight up and yelling "He DID IT!!!!" and jumping around. But we all knew he didn't do it. How sad.

Interestingly, Scott Steiner wasn't that big back in his early Steiner Brothers days.

I was at the show watching it live. B fold is right they put 5 plates and it looked like a pair of 25lbs on each side. The weights were deffiantly real, but it doesn't really matter since they never actually did it. It ws kind of funny when Triple H said I think no one came here to see a bench pree contest and would rather see us fight. The crowd reaction deffiantly didn't agree with that and was very disapointed when no one lifted.

Look for another bench contest soon as BIG Glen Chabot enters the ring as House of Pain!

For many folks bench press claims tend to mirror penis measurment claims.

I remember watching that Road Warrior and Barbarian bench press.

Except that Animal did a decent amount of weight and then was hit in the eye with a plate..... he was out with an injury for awhile. I remember thinking it was real......

 

[BodybuildingUniverse]

well what do you know, someone else remembers it - ha! Actually, there was a very close call when the barbell and bench fell over, just inches from hawk's head as he was on the ground. I dont think that was meant to happen. The legion of doom had some great lifts back in the day, used to love to hear iron man cranked up before their entry into the ring

 

[b fold the truth]

For many folks bench press claims tend to mirror penis measurment claims.

I can barely bench 135 with a triple denim, radical cut, 10 patches added bench shirt...3 sizes too small, wearing a belt, wrist wraps, knee wraps, suit bottoms, 2 ammonia caps, inzer knee wraps on my elbows with tennis balls inside, 5 'spotters' and no one watching to see if I paused or not...
