Wonder if Mike O'hern is going to show up with his shirt off and claim fake plates.
Dude I only needed to max out in gym class in HS. I never did again after hs myself. Though having a high 1rep max is respectable I am more impressed by people who can do heavy weight for reps. Though I think I knew of 3 or 4 kids that could bench 405 raw at 18 ....this 500lbs is just nutsMan I’ve literally NEVER even once tried to see how much I could lift. Not bench, not on squats, not on Dead’s, none of em…. I just never saw a point in trying to get a 1 rep PR.
Maybe it’s because I’m not anything spectacular as far as strength goes. I am impressed by these youngsters pushing this extreme weight though.
Personally I don’t see a point unless you’re pursuing strongman competitions or powerlifting competitions. I may be an outlier….
To each their own… Just hate to see someone injure their self and have a long set back just to say they can lift X amount of weight.
