Are you insane? There's 500 lbs ready to smash your face! No problem??? Whaaa??? Damn, damn, damn... my beans just spilled out! I've known a few people in my "meager" 40 years as a "weight lifter" who could bench 500. For the most part they were few and far between. I almost felt like a liberal when I exclaimed, "They must have a "barrel chest!" Or maybe, "They had short arms!" Pfffst! The fact for me is that anyone who can bench 500 lbs in my mind is superior to anything I could ever accomplish, so in short; hay-yah, a-yawayah, ya bastids!!! Want a beer? Can I polish your chrome? Need a light goo,mah waahh? But hey, I can swim... whanna race to that island??? What jellyfish (wink, wink!)
 
You are certifiably bat shit crazy. I'm not sure what sort of gyms you've been going to but 500 lbs is nothing. Granted compared to the average bodybuilder and gym rats it's a lot. In fact for many 405 is the mount everest for them. But in prison 405, 455 is chump change. So not sure exactly your point in your drunken state. But my point is that while it is well above the average gym rat that overtrains because they read the bodybuilder in the magazines routine and it worked for them so it should work for me. 500 lbs ain't shit. If your talking 800, 900+ lbs, that's the shit.
 
I had a friend enter a bench contest hung over which he didn't train for and push 640, of course he was a bit abnormal, he was cut at 315 and ran a 4.5 forty.
 
Those drug tested events. If you go to uspla, another tested organization they have many in the 500+, 600+ ranges in the raw divisions.

I used to train at this gym and I'd say there were 30 guys who bench 500 and 15 benchin 600 and a handful over 700.
 
I will never be able to bench 500#.....just keeping myself real:D

The most I ever hit was 435# for a single. I was 21 years old, and if I would have played it smart, maybe I could have worked that up, but I didn't (school, work, life stuff, women, drugs/sex/alcohol....all got in the way:D ).

At this point, I'd be lucky to hit 400# again.

I've looked at a shitload of organizations & records and haven't read where ONE guy 60+ benched 500 raw - not even close actually. Not in the 220, 242, 275 or 275+ divisons. So you must be the best bencher in the world for your age eh? If so, why aren't you out there in the limelight? You could be getting $$$ via endorsements.

We had the same max homie. I was 28, natty & raw. I rarely even tried singles, usually hitting 365 for 7-8, and 405 for a triple on a good day. I never had a chance to see what I could do after coming to the dark side, bcoz I was 40, and had to stop benching bcoz serious RC issues at 37. I'd be lucky to do 225 without searing pain in my right shoulder today. I blame the mags for my rc issues haha - when I was 15, I would always see in the mags to bench with elbows out wide to target pecs. After doing that style for 22 years, it got me.

Story of my life. The truth is always more unbelievable than any lue I could make up. I literally lie to people by telling them the truth. I tell them the truth, they look me in the eye, laugh and say yeah, right.

Almostv500! World record, in who's world? I'm the world's strongest old fart apparently. I know in my late 50's in Denver, I forget what year, but 4 maybe 5 ago, I hit 565, and came in 13th or 14th. But I failed the urine test.
And the dude did have a shirt on. It shows it.

Yeah but didn't you say that event was NOT raw, hence why you placed so low? Had it been raw you woulda cleaned house.
