World record squat is 1274LBS. A real squat requires the arse to go below the knees. Parallel squats don't count.

Honestly, the far more impressive footbal numbers are cleans and squats.


I agree. I also am not a big fan of shirted bench presses. Check this one out. The body isn't meant to lift that much weight.

i dont care if sombodys hands were on the bar larry allen threw up 700 lbs.


Larry Allen's BP was a joke. The spotters were helping about 150lbs worth. Not to mention they show this half way through and I don't think he even touched the weight to his chest.

Well considering i have a kid here in Iraq with me that does 502 (no bench shirt/no assist) that I saw with my own eyes (he is 192lbs) I can believe that a college athlete (50 lbs heavier) can do 100 lbs more


That is some awful heavy weight and would win him just about any bench meet he entered. That is a more believeable number than the 600 number but it is pushing the limits of believability. I am not one to call people liars and if you say you saw it I will believe you. You did say that you did not see the 600lb press. Remember for a legitimate BP you cannopt bounce the weight and the bar must stop on your chest for a full second before pressing up.

There is a big difference in 502 and 600. Remember that the guys who set these records are professional athletes and most of the BP'ers specialize in that particular lift.

The record is Ryan Kennelly at 1050 lbs. He weighs 347 lbs. He broke his previous record of 1036 just recently. The clip of him actually doing it is on youtube. Tag bench press or ryan kennelly.


That was a shirted bench press. These pros get 350-400LBS out of a shirt.
