Re: Benching your own weight once

Willie,
I believe your memory may be a little fuzzy. Per the United States Powerlifting Association website the record for a 182 pound man is 518 pounds for one press. I strongly doubt that a guy at your local gym weighed less and pressed 22 pounds more than the record holder. I realize you were just trying to recall but I was curious of the record.
Thank you,
Jim Kuhn

Jim,
I'm sure it was a "gym lift" where his buddies "spotted" him about about 50% range of motion. Ahhh, good ole golds.
