Very few can flat bench 450 shirtless, especially at that weight.

Bigriggs, I like you bro, but even with a video, I would be skeptical. At 25, I was extremely strong with rapid recovery and at 215 could never quite pull 400 lbs. You appear taller and leaner than I was at that weight. I've never seen ANYONE bench 450 lbs freestyle. I know a few that can do it, but the number of board bros that claim to be able to do it is about as believable as all those guys with 20" arms.
Well I im not gonna get into a debate, cause at the end of the day it is your opinion until you can get me statistics.

I would tell you what I benchpress, knowing I am a very gifted bencher at 6'5 305lbs but you probably wouldnt believe the weights were real? lol

It all goes back to the saying that, "just because YOU cant do it, doesnt mean it cant be done"... I dont know who said it first, but its a damn good one.
