The world record in the RAW bench press is 715lbs by Scot Mendelson who has the second highest multiply bench at 1025lbs - 310lbs of difference. Then there is Ryan Kennelly who has the multiply record with 1075lbs and he has currently said he is going after the RAW record but he will need some training first. If he needs to train for it then he must currently be below 715. If he can do about 700 (which is a generous guess) then he can do 375 more with his multiply shirt. It is crazy stuff.

Opening attempt, World Reckid!

You know you're badass when there's a video of you putting on a shirt that has over 200,000 views

That is actually a very interesting explanation. Thanks

It's like in A Christmas Story. "I can't put my arms down!"

I did 150 kg raw and 175 kg in a bench suit the first time I used it... 2time I used itt, I only did 160 kg... it is so hard to hit the sweet spot.

ABSOLUTELY RIGHT

You got it man.

"50 years old! 50 years old!" at 0:32!!! xD

I definitely agree.

JJ da man yo!

Did they say 50 years old 540 attempt!

very very well said :)

A lot people use the shirts to prevent injury, however I agree.

Wolves167: A bench shirt is made of a stiff material, sometimes denim, often polyester. Different federations have different standards as to what types are allowed. A bench shirt accumulates tension in the chest plate as the bar descends, providing some rebound - like knee wraps, but more complicated. Yes, you can bench more with a bench shirt, but it is not as simple as throwing it on. It requires practice and plenty of time to learn the groove of the shirt and use it for all it is worth.

OK, I get that there are raw and shirt-assisted records, but I just think it should be man versus the loaded barbell.

I came here to comment on the fact that over 158,000 people watched a video of a guy, essentially, getting dressed!!

yes

I wonder how long it took him to take that shirt off haha

RIP BIG NICK, the big guy helping jonnie passed away! 33yrs

He did 468 raw, then put the shirt on for the rest of his attempts.

Opening a tap!!!! NWW!!!! 252.5!!!! James Potts!

he looks like something off a resident evil movie

Shit, it's hard for me to put on a bench shirt, for this guy it has to be nearly fucking impossible.

I'm amazed he fit into that katana lol.

"Give me a bench shirt, and I shall move the earth." ~Archimedes

yeah u right

you mean a few guys put a shirt on johnnie jackson, not johhnie jackson puts a shirt on.

no videos of the attempts?

@rscabbage He isn't in the world records because he's a bodybuilder, dieting all the time for contest, training with higher reps make it difficult for him to develop strength, hence, he can't make world records. However, he's the World Strongest Pro Bodybuilder 2008-2009 and he's one of the best bodybuilders in the world, but not because he cheated. This guy deserves a lot of respect, respect that you'll never have.

who is the big guy behind johnnie?

ooooh! cheers for that.

Anyone know who the beast is that is helping him get the shirt on?

I Dont Get How People Say Its Cheating? It Really isn't. The Shirt Only Gives You A Boost At The Start Of Your Bench Then You Push The Rest.

So he only benches 300s?

indeed it does - people (experienced) can add up to 50 kilos on the max lift

Look at how his arms stick out - basically the material gets compressed as you bring the weight down to your chest and all the while the material naturally wants to spring back out to it's natural position. Like compressing springs I guess.

Should have read "Jonnie spends 30minutes putting on jacket to bench what most pro's rep"

how does a bench shirt help with a bench press?

Its like running a marathon, using a bicycle. No doubt this guy is strong, but if you cant lift it, work towards it. Its called a goal for a reason.

after all that how much would his 1 rm increase?

I've heard he has a custom made INZER open back bench shirt but USPF wont allow it so he was forced to buy a closed back KATANA from TITAN which of course had hell of a hard time putting it on because a typical powerlifter within his bodyweight usually wont have those massive arms

I bet if you use a bench shirt the first time It will feel like dianabol the first time

do those shirts even help you lift more?

@drfitnessnow Yep I was interested in seeing what he could bench with a shirt on, but they didn't even show the attempted lift.

It's essentially a spot. You have less range of motion and your muscles contract and are stuck in the flexion stage. It's said to add at least 75-100 lbs. to anyones bench. Even more to powerlifters like this.

@jonmarcwright oh i see, thanks for explaining man

gotta remember.. in powerlifting, you have a bench pause

Do you get points for putting shirt on?

hows the guy on the right?

Nah, they can get heaps more weight from some of these shirts. The canvas, kevlar, polyester or denim that they are made of can really compress and push some serious weight out.

How does he maintain his waist line, with all that weight he lifts ?

what does the shirt do?

dude was 40 when they began putting the shirt on

hes about to pass out just putting the shirt on

@awwhite i agree, really, what are you lifting, and what is the shirt lifting? when i tell someone how much i bench, i don't want to tell them i can't do that unless i have my super shirt on

He looks like UK politician Shaun Bailey

How does that Shirt even help?

I'm sure you also deadlift 900 raw and squat 1500. It is too bad, however, that making empty claims on youtube doesn't make up for the fact that you never passed a 3rd grade writing class. I'd really like it if you replied again - maybe just re-post your previous comments in coherent sentences.

@RobBurtonGuitar the shirt will make you lift more, think of it like a spring. When i had a 1 ply just to try it out for shits n giggs i had to have around 300 on the bar to just touch my chest. Think of it like this, the record is over 1000 but the raw record is only a little over 700 or whatever and yet its by 2 different guys

ok, I am not so much into powerlifting, but well, it sounds crazy

@ElvisFerbeyre powerlifting < olympic lifting

whats a bench shirt?

it seems that putting the shirt on is harder than the lift itself

man wtf kevin levrone left 600 pound with no shirts on for 2 reps ...u can check him out strong as hell

O Ludo tá tão grande que a camiseta nem entra.

ever uses a bench shirt? noone can get that on alone...

that would be the life not being able to put your own shirt on

@householder255 oh i see but why's that?

dude what do these shirts do? they look like they stop you from getting any push or any of that shit xD

@Traxxas1992 . He is pure natural. He eats grass fed buffalo and drinks coconut juice for protein

yes and no, its a diffrent lift in a bench suit.

everything is possible with effort.....except putting a bench shirt on Johnnie lol

Is that shirt really necessary

... Ah, nun komm´, da passt doch noch ´ne schöne GehwegPlatte unter das Shirt. - Und dann RückenSchwimmen, ohne untergehen, mit Augen auf !!! - HiiiiiiHaaaaaa, das wäre lustig !!!! Gruss, das sWorks91

Man that shirt is a fckin smeedium..lmao Get this guy a fckin x large

LOL

0:11-0:26 It' s like watching two gay dads dress the world's largest toddler.

I will never understand why they allow them to wear these shirts. What's the point?

damn if i was trying to wear this thing i'll be exhausted and not able to bench half my body weight.

Fat guy in a lil coat. Fat guy in a lil coat.

why he can´t put this shirt , but he can put her clothes and do exercise? :/ i justo don´t understand plis help

@tinkius Believe me,the shirt hurts like hell,when you start pulling the weight down.And yes,you will need a shitload of weight,just to get your arms to go down.And when you finally remove your shirt,you will have nice blue and sometimes even bloody stripes on your shoulders and triceps.

Actually some people can add up to 160kg on their max lift. WAY more than 50.

did he only get 468? in a shirt!! i thought he'd be benching over 500 without..ent he supposed to be the strongest bodybuilder!!

Shit, even Steve Urkel can bench 650 in a bench press shirt!

lol.

@tommyslf no kidding, I don't bench competitively but using a shirt gives you a mechanical advantage, the shirts shouldn't be legal in competitive lifting.

If you cant bench it RAW! DONT bench it at all !

This shirt made jochny Jacksons muscles looks small

They need shirt horns

so their shoulders don't rip of their bodies

Christian Cantwell benches 630lbs! with no belts or shirts. SHOT PUTTERS RULE!!!!!!!!!!!

That's like using the latest swim suit. The way sport is going it wont be long before an exoskeleton will be legal and the likes of Stephen Hawkins is competing.

Maybe using shirt slips would have saved a lot of energy...

how da hell does he eat if he can't put a shirt on...

that shirt is obviously not tight enough, since he got it on haha in record time too hahahahah

looks like putting on the shirt is harder than doing the actual reps.

Honest question. is it cheating if everyone is doing it?

haha. i wonder what size his belt is. it must be custom made.
