This man owned the world record in equipped bench at one point. he was a damn monster. he went away for manufacturing and distributing, did he not? I remember reading once, he was talking about benching 1,000 pounds and he was talking about how the weight was so crushing it actually hurt his bones. That took a few seconds to sink in. I can't even imagine. I've lifted relatively heavy weight (heavy for me) but I never felt like my bones were hurting LOL. He was also an incredibly strong raw bencher too if I recall, and of course, built like a tank.
