Too bad they won't throw the squat in there as well. This will be a fun one to watch.

Neither of them are competing in the Olympia correct? So they won't be dieted down I assume.

this should be good.

I have watched videos with some of Johnnies big lifts, never Ben's...definitely interested to see.

That out to be interesting. Johnnie's the man though in my book. I had the honor of training with him once years ago down in the fort worth area which is in dallas. The man is a beast and was lifting almost 2x more weight than I could back at that time.

He has pulled 800+ in competition and benched ~600 if memory serves.

Ben White doesn't have a prayer. But then, he has nothing to lose either way. If he loses, he lost to the strongest BB'er out there. If he wins, he wins big.

JOJ will win the deadlift, BW will win the bench.

BW has benched something like 500 x 10 raw before. no shit.

looked like he was benching shirted. it'll be interesting to see how these guys do in a raw comp with no suits/shirts to help them out

I would have guessed more weight than this....


The two-lift duel, comprised of the deadlift and bench press, will be "raw", [no powerlifting suits or other assistance gear] with three attempts per lift. The highest combined total wins. To date, Jackson has an 815 pound deadlift and a 600-pound bench press - all in official powerlifting competitions. White has benched 711 pounds in a bench shirt and 645 pounds, raw, both in official competitions.

Any idea on how much these guys weigh?

Makes me wonder what some of the guys on this board can move...

Ben White 505 x 9 raw bench

I think JJ will win the total.

Maybe Andy Hamman could step in too?

He has that insane 600 x 4 bench that looked like paper. Johnnie and Ben aren't even close in the bench.

Impressed. Any idea on his body weight there?

 

[big nasty]

So are they going to be dieted down or off season? That would certainly affect the outcome.
