Of course some dolt will mention people bench pressing over 1000 lbs now but that is with the assistance of vests that can add 300 lbs to your press now-a-days.
Yup, 722 is the world record bench with just a t-shirt on. If I can get my motivation back I will beat that record, as I was only 100lbs off from it 2 years ago.

Watching Kazmaier in that vid deadlift 950 brought back memories of watching Lee training with me a few months ago and he repped out with 855 for 3. I thought that was pretty impressive, but he is quite shorter which helps out a lot I would think.
