I wasn't too far from what Idra's benching now when I was in high school, but I stopped lifting for some reason (stupid choice looking back at it). The video really made me want to start up again. The video of the inside of the EG house was nice. Pretty nice setup they had going D'AWWWW, PUPPY! | ||

" I am benching just over 500lbs right now without having my shirt figured out. My top end strength is astronomical however where I am locking out over 700lbs on the racks. Once I figure out the shirt and work on the lower end strength (of a bench) I will be right in and around 700lbs." Yea pretty well known to the older members of TL :p. However Idra is surprising of course. GJ to him! | ||

So unless that's a 55 lb bar, I can't tell how accurate those numbers are. Not saying as a hater, just as someone who's worked as a personal trainer... Hey man, go to the gym sometime. It's common knowledge 45 + 35 on each side is 205. : ) | ||

His girlfriend has been quoted as saying he eats very, very well and he gets extremely positive reinforcement from incontrol and machine. I'm sure he started at like 40-50 kg but each week you get that much stronger. Good for him | ||

The world's strongest men are fat. They are strong, but they are fat too. What is so hard to understand? 25% bodyfat is considered obese... Doesn't matter how much muscle you have. obese is obese. | ||

As far as I can tell, in the United States, gyms use 35lb weights and not 30lb weights. Not sure if that is different in Canada. If he actually lost some weight and maintained his current muscle mass he would be a scary looking dude. He would be, but that's more of a fantasy than a realistic goal. The average person definitely has to carry extra weight in order to eat the calories necessary for that kind of muscle mass. If he tried to lose fat (by eating less calories), he would also lose strength. Personally, I would make the choice to slim down, but I bet its fun to throw around weight like that. | ||

I don't think I've ever even seen anyone irl who could lift that much and I used to go to the gym for several years. And my alltime record is like half of that. Should probably start going again. :D | ||

![[image loading]](http://img546.imageshack.us/img546/7079/1312225513339.jpg) I believe Incontrol has said that he used to do strongman competitions. It would be ignorant to just call it fat. | ||

It's still very impressive progress in such short time. Seems like he has good genes for this. | ||

Greg- Go down all the way. You MIGHT need to drop the weight a bit, but you might even see an increase in strength, and completing the range of motion will only serve to make you stronger. Bryce- Was that a bounce? I couldn't see for sure, which means it's not really a problem, but make sure you don't let it become a problem. Geoff- Only problem I see is how fast the bar is moving. Lift more weight son! Anna- Same as above. And for the record, my max is 240  | ||

I was happy with benching 85 kg but now I feel like I have to beat idra!! I would be very interested to see what these guys can manage to lift when doing dumbbell press(hantelpress for us Swedes) seeing as bench revolves a lot around technique when you start lifting more than 100 kgs. | ||
