The 405 was a paused bench press. I heard he maxed 480 or so. Freaking monster.

Holy shite. That's amazing. How much does he weigh in at?

After watching that video, its apparent none of you know what the hell a bench shirt is, and only only a couple of you seem to understand the point of a board press.

If he pauses 405, then he doesn't max 480. The difference is too high. The bench shirt he is wearing adds anywhere from 35-75 pounds depending on the material.

He's still very strong for his age, but that video probably correlates to a raw 450lb touch-n-go at the most. I'd say 420lb pause is the most he could manage, and that's a bit generous.

Sorry if that rained on your parade a little. 420 is still a pretty legit press for someone that age. Even if they are 300lb.
