600lbs "but Who REALLY Benches anymore!? - Muscular Development Forums
He was called out and offered (if i remember right) $10,000+ to prove he could bench 600. Oddly, he didn't accept
At 4:03 he claims to be benching 600x4, with a kid spotter and whipped cream on his face:

Great stuff in there
I don't believe that 600 pound bench press x 4 reps.
I love Andy's physique and I like it that he seems like a great dad in the video.
I'd be just as impressed if it was 400lbs with real weight. That's just me though.
The problem I have with screwing around with fake weights is that it makes me question some of the other statements he makes in the video.
I am excited to meet the guy because he seems like a fun person, but that bench isn't real. I guess he's just way stronger than Bill Kazmeyer was right? lol.
I think this may be just Andy having fun on camera again.

How come he only benched 5 plates in the Gladiator video I linked to? I guess he didn't dare to BS those guys... but bodybuilders, I guess he thought they'll swallow anything (well not always).
I don't really have a problem with showmanship and clowning and doing show lifts with fake plates for magazine photo shoots or whatever... but the way he defended it and denied it on the MD thread and called everyone a hater wasn't too cool.
Honestly, anybody who follows the sport of powerlifting would tell you IMMEDIATELY that the lift is absolute bullshit.
He may be a cool guy, but that's not the issue. The lie is a total slap in the face to all the guys who are ultimate legends because they actually ARE that strong.
There's a difference in just having fun, and flat out lying to everyone, refusing to admit it's a lie and continue trying to convince everyone it's real.Ah, come on James. He's just having fun, and making a LIVING. You wouldn't rain on your childrens, christmas, would ya?

It seems like if it was "truly" 600lbs, he wouldn't of had that 140lb kid spotting him

That is correct.
No one 40 years of age or older has ever raw benchpressed 600 pounds in competition.
The only lifter who might have had the potential was Garry Frank. He was raw benching in the high 500s to 600 (touch n' go) back in the warm up room at a few WPO events but Garry's 6'4 and 380 pounds of solid body weight ! (Former NFL pro.)
Great stuff in there
I don't know the details of what stan was able to do. But Andy's video claims are more than a year old (and so are those comments). If stan just did it, I guess he would be the first (and only) over 40.didnt stan eff just do 600plus at 41 or 42 years old in raw comp
