    Thats good that McBride can bench that much...that way he won't have any problem pushing himself up off the canvas after Golota starts playing pinata with him! :D

    460 is not out of the question, anyone into working out knows what is realistic. I benched 295lbs. when I was just over 200lbs a few years ago. I got lazy after and have never been as strong as I was then but I`m sure I would have kept getting stronger. Also steroids can only give you so much strength, there is a natural strength element to it. I am positive that if I used steroids I would bench over 400lbs.

    I used to think that until I saw someone I used to work out with on steroids who was 165lbs and benched 320 lbs.

    He'll need the strength to push himself up off the canvas, and when he does he should consider signing up with "Strongman".

    Right on! Benching don't do a thing. For heavyweights you need arms, neck, back, overall thickness and natural power. Great legs help too, but not tree trunks.

    You'd think someone that strong would have been able to lift himself off of the canvas against Louis Monaco and Mike Mollo...:D

    If you were just a powerlifter double your body weight would be ok but I think for a pro boxer to do that is special.Some of the top rugby players can do double body weight and still run around for 80 minutes,that is pretty inpressive.

    Did Mcbride bench that much when he fought Mike Mollo? I wonder how good Mollo is , because he crushed Mcbride quick and brutally ?

    shouldn't that be "you can not compare bodybuilder juice heads to powerlifter juice heads." ?
    :lol:

    Maybe he should challenge Louis Monaco to a Bench Press contest.

    I would guess most (if not all) the elite powerlifters (the guys setting records etc.) are using drugs.

    The WPC federation has no testing, so all the guys can use.

    The IPF has testing but I doubt many of the champions are clean. There are lots of things they cannot test for.

    Drug use is rife in Powerlifting.

    Theres definitely a higher use of steroids in body building where getting heavy pumps and better vascularity is the norm but in power lifting there is also significant amount of people who use it also where you need the edge in strength where steroids would get you stronger faster and help you when you hit a plateau in your workout regimen
