djukac Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Funny what he does to that 575 as well. The first ten reps are faster than most people repping 135, lol. What an extraordinary human being! It didn't get much attention, but another man, Orlando Green, got 21 reps with 575. And he weighs A LOT less than Benedikt. Someone uploaded it to youtube: According to another video he weighed 225 pounds. Yep Orlando Green is a beast. I think he pulled 865@225.

blueviper42 Posted May 3, 2011 Author Share Posted May 3, 2011 (edited) Jamie McDougal also deadlifted 640 pounds at a bodyweight of 174. Thats 3.7 times his bodyweight He also has a RAW bench press (just a t shirt) of 405 pounds in the 165 pound class! There were a ton of SUPER strong guys there. I was really surprised at how strong the competitors were. They were some of the strongest guys around.

mightyjoe Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 what does benni squat cause his calves are awesome too! But bolton won't beat him. wasn't bolton wearing a double ply suit when he did 1008? Cause benni only used a belt. Benny told me at his dead lifting seminar at the MetroFlex Gym in Arlington that his best squat in competition was 880lbs and he went on to say he can easily do more. His heart is in the dead lift. BTW, I always seem to be at the right place at the right time because the day of the seminar I got there early when Benny was finishing up some Prowler work and I got to sit down with him and talk strength and grip for 50 minutes. Our conversation could be a post in and of itself. Benny is a walking encyclopedia when it comes to strength training. Has a solid understanding of the human body and the science behind getting STRONG. Super interesting guy to talk with. I could have talked with Benny for hours.

blueviper42 Posted May 4, 2011 Author Share Posted May 4, 2011 I would love to hear what you and Benedikt talked about Joe. Could you make a thread about it? I want to hear about his seminar too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
