The safety stands may work for guys that lift as light as Sumner, but I remember one time I thought I was safe because I had safety stands, but because I was benching over 1,300 pounds, the safety stands snapped and the bar began to crush me. Refusing to give up, I powered through and lifted the weight back up to the rack. No one could believe how strong I was (and am).
@@stevenmatelski6177 I have it on video. My bench the next year was almost 1,500 pounds and the towns news station covered it. I have that video asshole.
You’re right, it’s not a proper full ROM bench. It’s impressive that it’s being moved at all, but don’t call it benching x among my if this is all you’re doing. It seriously looked like shoulders locking it out, arms not even bending.
@@MrMLBson09 exactly. Super shirts and a range of motion of 8 inches is what the bench press has evolved into during the last 40 years. Someday they'll just measure how much weigh can be pressed off the rack stands. It is reported that this lifter can do 530 raw or "classic" which is a very impressive honest figure.
Imposible to describe with words all the merit that have to lift that monster weight, I only can say WOW and stay totally impressed O_O thanks very much for the videos
awesome shit brother, you are my favourite powerlifter and I hope one day I can be near as good as you, 16 right now with a 430 squat 275 bench and 450 deadlift. Cant wait to leave school and attach powerlifting hard and u are a big motivation and inspiration. keep up the good work brother +Blaine Sumner

First off, I am sure that dude is crazy strong but I call Bullshit for the following reason. One, when your chest and belly are that big, of course it assist. I know, he didn't touch his chest or bounce, but your range of motion is directly proportionate to the curvature of your torso. Basically, he didnt have that far to go in relation to his out-curved torso. Two, I dont care who fucking argues this point bench press shirts are such Bullshit. Not only do they directly reduce the amount of force needed to push the weight, like a spring, they reduce the amount of resistance required to lower and control the weight leaving more energy for the push back up. So the reduction in effort is reduced...again. Again, I bet this guy has a nasty raw bench, but claiming 900+ lbs on bench with a shirt? Come on, that smells like Bullshit to me. I'm no where near 900 lbs, but I take pride knowing that I can cleanly press 365 lbs with no shirt, no wraps, no straps, nothing. I don't always touch by I break a 90 every time and and I'm 6f6. Think about those wings and that range,of motion, its hard as fuck. I could probably go up to 450+ with a shirt, but whats that get me? A lie
It's impressive that anyone can hold that much weight up much less move it up and down even slightly. The fact is Blaine nor anyone else could even come close to that weight if they would do it correctly. Full ROM and Raw with no bench shirt and whatever else they're using. Also, and I know it's their choice but no one ever talks about their actual health. This is a very unhealthy way to live. The guy spotting him is obese. The human body can only take so much stress of overeating and more importantly continuously overstressing the vascular system.
Hey there Mr. Spotter, you need to exit the "gym" and do some cardio because your massive beer gut is really close to being completely rolled over that weight belt you're wearing.
Hey Mike 105, why don’t you come give me some cardio tips?? Oh, that’s right, you keyboard warrior types don’t have the balls to do anything on your own.
these safety stands should replace all the spotters and safety straps at meets.

Robert Blankenship Full of shit. You don’t bench anywhere close to that.

for me, going heavy with a bench shirt resulted in two sprained wrists. I can't imagine how he held this.
When your gym buddy is more pumped than you.
the range of motion is next to nothing.
Look at everything that Blaine has done then look at your comment.
the range of motion is still next to nothing. i'm not saying it isn't impressive or whatever but I wouldn't call that a bench press
I must admit this style of benching isn't great to look at and I prefer to bench with full ROM myself, I just think he is a great athlete.

Equipped powerlifting is a joke...
I would not call that a rep, but pretty impressive. i'd rather see you knock out full reps of like 600lbs or something
wild, 1k bench at the games?
KaoKao I want it
Your spotter better bent over row at least 800.
TheMomsof8KKKMembersLikedMyBBC LOL lol that's a fact
It's been 3 years, is this man still lifting or alive?
even the spotter have to wear a belt😲
People talking shit but just holding that much weight is insane

My lifts are all raw asswell, but look forward to one day trying equipped
LOK Maye that's incredible brother! You're much stronger than I was at your age so you can do it!
insane numbers for your age great man, but the real question is, are you willing to do what it takes, AKA THE INFAMOUS CHICKEN AND BEEF SHAKE !!!!
Next time use a forklift and title your video "10,000 pound bench press!"
And be proud of yourself (because you probably think you lifted that).
The TRUTH I love all the RAWWWW zealots that come on here and try to take away from his hard work. You know he outlifts you raw too, right?
+David Brockmeier Gtfo m8.
You too probably use "crutches" to lift. Beta boi.

Who the hell is the one douche that put a thumbs down on this?!?! Great lift! Cant wait to see what you do soon!
Insane strength! How many reps can you do with a 120 kg power twister? Have a nice day
What's the point of the wooden plank?
What's the point of bench suit assisted lifts? Why wouldn't he bench like ~405 raw?
Because he competes both in equipment and raw? Also, he benched 529 raw in competition.
@@AlexandarShmex that's much more impressive. Equipped is silly.
@@jetjames420 Try it first, then bash it.
@@AlexandarShmex no
holy shit! God like strength!
Impressive
Amazing Blaine👍💪 🇺🇦🇱🇷
Holy Smokes....
Holy shit 960.
any idea where you can get safety stands like this?
Insane. The audio was kinda of low throughout the video though. Good stuff man.
Daniel Rainey still pretty new to the editing. Thanks man!
Joint capsules made of titanium, cant imagine how much stress they must be under that weight, very few can do that.
Brad castleberry can do more and for reps....😂
When we gonna see some new vids?

ever thought about using a multiply shirt for overload??
Why have they not designed benches that have some sort of protection from all this crushing weight falling on you, your neck or your face. hmmmm.
Not. Single rep was done that day
Gotta be fake plates, the easiness with which he did it was unreal

this is terrifying lmao those spotters just there for support they completely useless
They have stands on the side. The barbell can’t fall on him.
So get a massive beer belly so that I only have to put the weight down 3 inches
awesome lift, ! that weight bench does not look like it is safe for all that weight
Board press*
Жаль только что здоровья губят с такими весами.
Да можно вообще не отпускать 😂
Im impressed with the amount of weight he lifted…but c’mon…that aint no real bench press.😮
it's a deadlift right?
dude...
Touch yo chest fck that board lol
The spotter is ages away from the bench ahahah most ghetto world record
That’s not even a quarter rep 😂
bro you couldn't even deadlift that weight lmfao
Lol. That's not a bench press
yeah it's a deadlift
