just saw the video where Mickey does a 500lb board bench press (Meaning the bar needs to touch the board before he can go back up with it). Very nice improvement over his current 405 max on rivals.

I watched those too. The board press is for lock out purposes and generally one can bench maybe 10 percent more when they are doing this exercise. What is impressive to me is the video of him at the powerlifting meet squatting 600, I think. At 16 years old this is just plain nasty. And this was a legal, below parallel squat. Not one of those half squats you see the fruitcakes at the gym performing. A real squat.

I looked at his total and its pretty solid but I watched a teammate of mine at the Collegiate Nationals total more than Mickey at 165 lbs. But this guy trained year round.

I like to see players of his size be able to powerlift. Lets you know that he not only has the size, but a good range of motion.

Hey Bammer expert, did you use your great education to read my first post on this subject? If you took more than high school math you will see that my statement actually correlates perfectly to what his actual bench press is based on his board press. 10 percent of 500 is 50 minus 500 equals 450. Oh wow, I just watched a video of Mickey stroking 440 in a meet. I guess I don't know shite.

My point about the bench shirt was that the shirts that they are allowed to use do not give them another 10 percent plus like you are alluding to.
