A drug-free 525 pound bench press by a 93kg lifter in Australia

[spartacus]

PA raw classic will have one of world's best bench pressers, Dennis Cieri, lifting. And he lifts in drug tested feds. He currently holds IPF raw record with 232.5kg. I sure would like to go to a seminar by him

Here is a 2006 interview with him

Interview With Dennis Cieri | Powerlifting Watch

 

[moons]

First time I've seen a lifter who competes in gear say something negative about it.

 

[NAPARM]

Farking strong! Sounds like a bit of a douche though. Seems he's a bench only guy?

Dennis Cieri 500lb Raw Bench at Hardcore Powerlifting's Kings of the Bench 8 - YouTube

 

[spartacus]

yes, i cant find a total list for him.

Still, i think individual lift greatness is better than nothing.

602.5kg at Carribean Islands champs. 182.5 squat and 182.5kg dead lift, but 237.5kg bench.

 

[ink81]

Guy is an insane bencher. Wouldn't mind a few tips from him Think he's the lightest man ever to bench over 500lb

 

[Bench Polkov]

I'm hopefully going to meet up with him at Nats and get a few tips...

SQUEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

 

[Spritcha]

I think he is turning up in Oz any day now- Wilks said he was coming a week early.

 

[ink81]

I'm hopefully going to meet up with him at Nats and get a few tips...

SQUEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

So lucky!!!

 

[NAPARM]

SQUEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

You've got the whole don't squat or deadlift part down pat mate

 

[Bench Polkov]

You've got the whole don't squat or deadlift part down pat mate

At least its not by choice

 

[vonfram88]

Imagine how much more he would be able to lift if he sat quietly ii the corner in meditative prayer before lifting.

lol he's like an inverse Nghiep Luu

Not by a long shot
I have no idea who holds that title but Rick Weil did 556lb at 181 in a full meet

 

[The Hamburgler]

lol he's like an inverse Nghiep Luu

lol can Nghiep bench 100kg yet?

IPF record 271kg(?) pull, can't bench 2 plates

 

[0ni]

He has a pretty decent bench given his "structure"
He holds the Australian record in the total and I think bench/squats around 110/180

 

[0ni]

97.5/185

 

[strong enough?]

He has squatted 187.5kg raw no wraps (queensland open last year).

100kg bench at under 66kg would be over 1.5x bodyweight.

 

[0ni]

Bodyweight multipliers are easymode when you're light

 

[The Hamburgler]

There were 2 novice 67.5kg lifers that benched 100kg on Saturday
