    I only ask because 17-0 Leif "Son of Thor" Larsen once reeled off 45 consecutive lifts of 225lbs on the bench, and has a personal best of an awesome 670lbs, with NO lifting aids, just 45lbs off the world record.

    Can any other boxer match the TWBA world heavyweight champion's incredible feat?

    Anybody that claims to have a 600 bench an doesnt have a video its most likely not true.

    Not a boxer, but here's MMA fighter Tank Abbott benching 600 lbs:

    Yeah I know, he "bounces" it off his chest, but still. Try bouncing even 225 off your chest, that **** HURTS.
