We past the 1200lb mark last night with 1205lbs. I still have more in the talk. A 1 board is a training lift for all of you who don’t know. I hope you enjoy
Exactly. That spring suit is taking a good 300lbs off the final weight compared to without. This is ego lifting at its finest, with no point whatsoever that to make you feel big. He'll regret it when he needs help putting on a belt because he blew out God knows what doing THIS
Oh my god, did you seriously think this was going to be real? The world record is not even close. Just appreciate that he could move so much weight even if its equipped. It's still interesting to see.
‘52 yr old man’? As if this is just a bloke from down the pub? This is the former world record holder of both equipped and raw bench press. In fact, The only man in history to hold both records at the SAME time.

@@Toxilwolf102you can see the spotter behind the bench struggling to lift the bar when spotters shouldn't even need to touch the bar until the weight is fully up. I'm not saying that the guy benching isnt really strong, but this is clearly ego lifting, especially with all the gear he's wearing.
it's a board press so he's not going all the way down and there is no pause just touch and go spotter has a hook grip so I'm sure he's pulling a little too
@@sidhenry6422 if he can do 500, and just equipment makes a 700 lb difference, that is technique or something that would bring attention. Cause a bench shirt doesn't even double the weight for many people I see.
He suffered a torn pec man i know he can lift way more if it wasnt for his body giving up on him, i have lots of strength but thin wrists and im always scared they will snap at anytime when i go heavy on bench press so im starting to used straps just in case lol

@@Engie_Gamingtf2 This guy did nothing, he did a quarter of a rep with like 5 people lifting the weight with him and equipment. This lift means nothing, you can't have any clue how much he's actually lifting, there's a reason normal people don't do stupid shit like this.
Normal people don’t have one of the heaviest raw benches of all time either. Who cares if he’s using equipment, he’s definitely stronger than every single critic in here Just appreciate holding this much weight in your hands at the bare minimum. Terrifying
That's not even a legit press, that was 75% shoulder drop and 25% elbow bend.

@@outlaw_80 he isn't doing a lift to impress you it's part of his training method to get to a world record bench press, a world record he has previously held so he isn't going to worry about what some random guy in the comments thinks is he, come back when you have lifted more than anyone else on earth for your weight
Them were fake weights. Like sure they weigh something, but they don't weigh what they're supposed too, and all three spotters we're pulling up. A 1,200 pound bench press is humanly impossible, I really hope no one believed this for a second
This is what you can accomplish with modern weight lifting gear and a few good buddies. That bench shirt so tight it took 3 guys to separate his arms 😂
Seeing a lot of hate in the comments and all and agreed he did a half rep with like 20~30% done by spotters but guys that shit is 1200lbs supposedly. That higher than the world record deadlift. Even the weights r real and man really did that much he basically world class rn
I have a saying in my garage gym, "Nothing here is light and everything here will kill you." Putting 1200lbs above your chest is the quintessential example of that motto. Well done.

@@jamespatrick9597 So... I'll give you the long answer here. I'm a long time powerlifter and in Dec 2019 I hurt my shoulder pretty good away from the gym. So I wasn't able to bench until about 2 months ago. I've been going extremely light and pumping out a silly amount of reps. However recently I started doing 2 heavier sets at the end of my workout and adding in the Slingshot to help protect my shoulder. I've been using the Slingshots since 2016 though and would usually add it towards the end of my bench workout. So I'll pyramid up and then add the Slingshot for overloads. It allowed me to handle heavier weight and get the feel of it in my hands. The one biggest piece of advice I can give is try not to become too dependant on it and don't feel the need to use it every single workout. I love them though. Imo one of the best inventions in the iron game this past decade 👍🏻
Did they pick up the main spotter at the pie eating contest? " Hey Rock, you need any help?" - come on guys, this ain't no pie eating contest! Rocky Balboa
Your arms would snap in half holding it. And I bet you couldn’t even take it out the rack. Scott used held the raw record have a lil respect guy. 700+ lb RAW more than ur total probably....
Hate how people are bashing on this man for "Not really benching 1205 lbs." Hes literally carrying 1205lbs ontop of him, and the fact he can atleast somewhat press 1205 lbs is such an insane feat of strentgh, and hes moving it. Chill out on bashing this man.
@@Asquire333 If you opened your eyes, the guys on the sides werent even holding onto the bar fully and merely supporting the lift just like how it has been done in olympic weightlifting via benchpress. The bar is also bending in the middle still just as it was when he wasnt holding it, meaning he was holding the entire weight "bro."
regardless of what people say about this style of benching.. the fact that he even just held over a thousand pounds in his hand is just mind boggling to me.
Very impressive, however, how far do you go? Take Olympic lifting for instance, they just get on stage, grab the bar, and jerk it over head, they don’t require 10 spotters, or a bench shirt that makes it impossible to move, to such extent that it can support several hundred kilos when pressing.

@@Engie_Gamingtf2 This guy did nothing, he did a quarter of a rep with like 5 people lifting the weight with him and equipment. This lift means nothing, you can't have any clue how much he's actually lifting, there's a reason normal people don't do stupid shit like this.
Normal people don’t have one of the heaviest raw benches of all time either. Who cares if he’s using equipment, he’s definitely stronger than every single critic in here
Just appreciate holding this much weight in your hands at the bare minimum. Terrifying
@@cyclobenchaprine LOL
That's not even a legit press, that was 75% shoulder drop and 25% elbow bend. Before any of this guys fanboys of HORRIBLE TECHNIQUE asks, no I can't do better because I'm not a moron to put flesh and bone under 1200 lbs of steel thinking destroying my joins in my 50s will make me a better man. I sure as hell would not put my life in the hands of a 60 year old to spot my bar as if I'm simply benching 120lbs. 😅
Stop being a hater
he is obviously training for a specific weight, this is a tiny part of it and it has worked for him in the past
@@shawnlockett4676foreal people just can't help them selves
The "Raw" bench press is my favorite exercise. It would be much more impressive if he done half this weight raw without all the junk...
@@outlaw_80 he isn't doing a lift to impress you it's part of his training method to get to a world record bench press, a world record he has previously held so he isn't going to worry about what some random guy in the comments thinks is he, come back when you have lifted more than anyone else on earth for your weight
Impressive that he held that much weight. Hard to tell how much was him and how much was spotter.
Still impressive to hold it, i cant hold it
I can't even dream that much
that was with 3 spotters minimum and two alternate spotters, ready to step in if something went wrong
@@perfumegoose agreed
Them were fake weights. Like sure they weigh something, but they don't weigh what they're supposed too, and all three spotters we're pulling up. A 1,200 pound bench press is humanly impossible, I really hope no one believed this for a second
My favourite bit was the guy with the block trying to lift it to the bar but still not getting it touched 🤣🤣🤣.
When you tell the spotter to release and they know you can't handle the weight
Ego lifting at it's finest, bench half of that normally, and people will be impressed, this is stupid
Equipped lifting.
@@violentjingo7899 😂😂
This is what you can accomplish with modern weight lifting gear and a few good buddies. That bench shirt so tight it took 3 guys to separate his arms 😂
Could you do what he did?
Seeing a lot of hate in the comments and all and agreed he did a half rep with like 20~30% done by spotters but guys that shit is 1200lbs supposedly. That higher than the world record deadlift. Even the weights r real and man really did that much he basically world class rn
I know it's not a spot on technical press and he's equipped, but just holding this weight is a feat in itself.
💯 Agreed.
So many haters in the comment section
@@sticksnstonespatriot1728 Can hardly blame them. This video is stupid. It's not a bench press anymore past a certain point of external help.
So equipped, he can't move his own arms
I have a saying in my garage gym, "Nothing here is light and everything here will kill you." Putting 1200lbs above your chest is the quintessential example of that motto. Well done.
So I can't be doing calisthenics in your gym??

Im 60yrs old benching 350... Enormous respect Bro!!!!!
In other news I hit 405 with a Slingshot today 😂
How are you adding slingshot lifts to your program I just ordered one.
@@jamespatrick9597 So... I'll give you the long answer here. I'm a long time powerlifter and in Dec 2019 I hurt my shoulder pretty good away from the gym. So I wasn't able to bench until about 2 months ago.
I've been going extremely light and pumping out a silly amount of reps. However recently I started doing 2 heavier sets at the end of my workout and adding in the Slingshot to help protect my shoulder.
I've been using the Slingshots since 2016 though and would usually add it towards the end of my bench workout. So I'll pyramid up and then add the Slingshot for overloads.
It allowed me to handle heavier weight and get the feel of it in my hands. The one biggest piece of advice I can give is try not to become too dependant on it and don't feel the need to use it every single workout. I love them though. Imo one of the best inventions in the iron game this past decade 👍🏻
I just "negatived" 405. 🤣
Hell I thought I was a bad ass hitting 315 for 5 reps in the bench….at least for 20seconds
Those are rookies numbers
Wow. 548 kilograms .Unbelievable strength. I don’t think anyone can even handle that weight on the arms. It’s Amazing!

That one guy in the gym: lets start off with a warm up weight
The warm up weight:
Well he’s old now but he’s still one of the best benchers ever. Hit 715lbs clean. In a tshirt. In competition.
Scott you never give up, your old friend Rich Piana would be proud of you! ❤
He'll end up where Rich is if he keeps this silly shit up.
@VANDERbilt Scot Mendelson
@VANDERbilt your welcome, i cant believe i found a gentle person on the internet
Him: dude, can you spot me?
Me: no.
😂🤣😅
Maybe an NFL team's entire offensive line can spot him. 😆
I agree on Morgan Freeman not one rep was completed absolutely not Robert Wallace please contact me Mr Morgan Freeman absolutely
This is why I don't go too heavy for a single rep. I dont go higher than a 1000 lbs for reps 😂😂😂
I was a competitive powerlifter for 22 years...I was never that strong,but every thing I lifted, I lifted on my own with a FULL range of motion.
Whatever lets you tell yourself you’re a superior lifter to a previous raw world record holder
@@cyclobenchaprine can't you fucking read..I said ..."I was never that strong "... don't be a telephone tough guy.
Did they pick up the main spotter at the pie eating contest?
" Hey Rock, you need any help?"
- come on guys, this ain't no pie eating contest! Rocky Balboa
Alot of people don't understand what one thousand two hundred pounds is. Especially above your face
Yeah the people commenting have never even had 3 plates on the bar.
Them: It's just a prank
The prank: stops spotting
Can you imagine this performance at a competition 😂. Still a good job by pops.
When he turns 65 he’s gonna wish he didn’t lift like that.
Nah he's gonna be lifting 1500lb by them
He didn't.
yea by this time next year he will probably be double the world record which is less than what he lifted here 🤦♂️
I wouldn't call that lifting
It’s actually his spotters and suit doing all the work, he’ll be fine
Correction* 52 year old man is capable of raw benching 135 lb
All that equipment means nothing when its that much weight. Youre too weak to understand.
stfu
Title is misleading
Your arms would snap in half holding it. And I bet you couldn’t even take it out the rack. Scott used held the raw record have a lil respect guy. 700+ lb RAW more than ur total probably....
He has benched 715 raw and held that record for years before Spoto broke it. Stop hating and get in the gym 🤡
Let's be honest. There's nothing the guy spotting could do if that bar fell.
The guy spotting? You mean the 3 guys spotting. 😅
With 2 more ready as backup 😂
Bro had more equipment than a navy seal.
One thing is for sure, this is a record in ego lifting.
When I started training in the 70’s I remember 600 was the number everyone was chasing. 1200 is truly amazing.
Wtf 600? I would be more than happy with 315

Real Title: 52 year-old man spots friend on friend's 1200 lbs upright row.
Hate how people are bashing on this man for "Not really benching 1205 lbs." Hes literally carrying 1205lbs ontop of him, and the fact he can atleast somewhat press 1205 lbs is such an insane feat of strentgh, and hes moving it. Chill out on bashing this man.
Bro he had 3 other people holding it up for him 😂
@@Asquire333 If you opened your eyes, the guys on the sides werent even holding onto the bar fully and merely supporting the lift just like how it has been done in olympic weightlifting via benchpress. The bar is also bending in the middle still just as it was when he wasnt holding it, meaning he was holding the entire weight "bro."
The video title is misleading. What did you expect?
@@BigSausage23 Im not the one with a problem with the video or its title, i have an issue of these people bashing this poor dude
@@stevenmisfits6247 Right because poor dude should be at home on a toilet reading a new paper not in a gym trying to kill
himself.
regardless of what people say about this style of benching.. the fact that he even just held over a thousand pounds in his hand is just mind boggling to me.
Very impressive, however, how far do you go? Take Olympic lifting for instance, they just get on stage, grab the bar, and jerk it over head, they don’t require 10 spotters, or a bench shirt that makes it impossible to move, to such extent that it can support several hundred kilos when pressing.
@@immy00 the thing is, even with a bench suit 99.9% oh humans still wouldnt be able to bench this. Thats whats impressive.
