    I'm a 50 year old nobody with a a bad rotator cuff and still bench with the 50kg (110 pound) dumbbells. Beterbiev is special because his talent as a world champion boxer. Anyone who has stepped in any gym or weight room where men train would've seen men lifting that 'heavy'. So I'm not sure what you're getting excited about there.

    Shane Mosley could benchpress well over 300 pounds in his prime and hes alot smaller than Beterbiev infact a 50 year old Shane Mosley can be seen bench pressing 310 pounds at 50 years old.

    110 pound dumbell press is that not that impressive I'm a bit taller than Beterbiev and we probably weigh around the same weight when he's not cutting. And I can benchpress 250 pounds and deadlift over 400 pounds and I'm not that incredibly strong either, and there's people I know at my gym that make me look silly in regards to strength.

    In Covid when there was no gym I was doing 100 push ups, 100 dips, without stopping quite comfortably. The feats you're talking about in the gym is the norm in regards to weights with any seasoned gym person who knows what they're doing.

    Beterbiev is a talented fighter and was born into boxing and had the dedication to his craft which is why he's so good not from dumbbell pressing 110 pounds.

    Beterbiev is an ATG LHW; not superman.
