Video: Texas H.S. Senior Lifts 700 lbs.

I'm curious about this shirt....how does it help you lift?

That dude is too strong for his own good. His shoulder and chest remind me of a gorilla.

That

wow....shirt or not, thats fricking impressive.

some of yall are fricking haters, and cant even lift the bar.

"Wonder what ply that shirt is, single,double. It was a closed back shirt so most likely double, which would give him about a 215 250 boost"

thspla doesnt allow multiply benching, but they do allow you to go lower on the sternum than lhspla.

besides, single ply and multiply are nearly the same with the exception of the 3-6 ply phenom shirts. tiny meeker hit way over 900 in single while the multiply record is over 1000. i have never seen a genuinely strong guy complain about another lifter. let that sink in, then read the other comments.

You were there? What kind of meet is this? It just looked like "max day" back in HS football during 7th period gym.

Was at the meet. The weight was legit but he only had to press about 8 inches of travel to lock out the weight. Also, I hate the shirts. But everyone uses them...

6- 100lb plates....

Add together the plates - It does not add up to 700 lbs.

6 (3 each side) 45 plates = 270
2 (1 each side) 25 plates = 50
bar = 45
total = 365

How is what he shows in the video 700? I don't understand.

Wonder what ply that shirt is, single,double. It was a closed back shirt
so most likely double, which would give him about a 215 250 boost.

...in today's lesson we'll cover lever length and mechanical advantage...

and tomorrow: Why Powerlifting is fricking Stupid

This is sad.. kid is going to be a stretched marked fat lil short armed freak when he's older.

Shortest arms I've ever seen. Impressive, yet he only had to move it about 9 inches up.

Wait, I wasn't watching. Can you do it again?

and lifts only like 350 without that shirt on.

Uhhhh . . . damn?

i guess he does lift... bro
