Is this guy full of crap

[RugbyBuck]

One of the guys I play rugby with swears he benched 405 last week. I'm starting this thread b/c I just saw that Aram Olsen, the #1 FB in this year's class weighs approx. 245 and benches 400. The guy here is 40 years old and is probably about 205 and looks solid, but not freak of nature strong. We don't go to the same gym, so I can't really verify it. I want to call bullshit on him, but would like some other, more knowledgeable opinions first.

You never know... he could have retard strength. You can't tell just by the looks of a guy.

Note: SIMV is much stronger than he looks.

Doesn't Galloway press over 400?

I had an old boss who could bench press over 400, but he lived in the gym and was a big guy.

AKAK... you gotta watch Carlos Mencia on Comedy Central sometime. I think it's on tonight.

This guy isn't much bigger than me. He's probably 5'10"/205, 210 at the most. I just don't see it. Fortunately, if I call him out on it, he's too slow to catch me.

its a carlos mencia reference, he laughs at people who got all "d's" in school and bitch about working a minimum wage job

That's 180 per side...I would normally call bullshit but I weigh 145 and can do 3 sets of 12 on my own weight. Surprisingly never maxed out but probably near 200, and I don't look big at all.

Ok I just convinced myself to call bullshit

Mencia is hilarious.

Back to the original post. Does he have really short arms? Usually guys who can bench a lot have short arms for their height. Less distance to move the bar. Get iambrutus to go to one of your games and see if the dude can bench him. That should be about right. :p

It's very believable... but IMO 410 and beyond... is geometrically harder...
