This goes back to my "fluffing of numbers" post a few days ago.

Billy Graham would have set a world record at the time his body could have benched that much weight, and to my knowledge, he never held such a record.

I benched 435lbs. in high school, but that was without the aid of juice, so take that for what it is.

I don't see Snuka pushing 500 and Lesner 450. The numbers don't really make sense.

sometimes looks can be deceiving...

a lot of these numbers don't sound like bullshit... they all seem to be in the 400-500 range. i have friends that have been in the 300-400 range since high school... factor in the juice that some of these cats are on and it seems legitimate.

Bill Kazmaier and Ted Arcidi were both world class powerlifters, so their numbers are right. You can see Tank Abbott's bench press on youtube.
