    How in the hell……………

    does he whip his ass?

  • George said:

    He did not fully extend his arms on that press before he was helped up. It’s still extremely impressive but not valid as a record.

    If you feel disheartened because of the terrible amount of work it takes to reveal what you are searching for, relax because you\’re one step closer to your goal….

    You talk like a FAG!!!!!!!!!! Oh yeah…..That was not a legit lift although it was pretty damn amazing….minus points for the sun glasses and the 80’s porn music!

  • bowza said:

    his arms are so short its not even fair to a guy with long arms that wold be impossible

  • FelixA9 said:

    Geez, the shirt probably did 300 lbs of it. Let’s see him do 1000 without the damn shirt.

  • The Doctor said:

    Hmmmmm…
    I am an avid weightlifter and I used to compete and I never saw plates of more than 50 pounds each used. And….I only see 5 plates on each side.
    So, it doesn´t look like more than 500 pounds plus the collars and the bar.
    Let alone the spotters are touching the bar on both sides during the lift. So, certainly NOT a sanctioned world record lift.

  • Doctor Lev said:

    So you chose NOT to publish my comments?
    Mine were the most relevant and truthful….those are 45 pound plates and the total is only about 500 pounds.
    This is sensorship!….and proof that this achievement and site is a FAKE!!!
    I will take note of your actions and do what I can to make everyone aware.

    Good day…

  • nick harrison said:

    I dare any of you guys to bench that so stop saying its not real, and ye shirt did it all because even with 10 of those shirts on none of you could get anywhere near that

  • Usman said:

    That was completely out of this world

  • Doodley Diddley said:

    Hes probably using Olympic Weight plates.. Up to 100 lbs a plate. True the spotters were assisting on the lift.. and the shirt helps a bit.. Still a lot of weight, though not a valid lift..

  • Doodley Diddley said:

    I counted 4 Olympic plates on ea side.. 2 45 plates and a 25 plate.. Plus a bar.. Very close to 1000 lbs. Give credit where due.
