Eh the sport of powerlifting is getting out of hand with numbers. If you watch how the lifters are allowed to position there body's it is BS. "the main reason i don't compete in them any more"The heavy guys have a big advantage.
They are allowed to arch their backs and only bring the weight down to the top of there stomach. So instead of bring it down to you chest lets say moving the bar 1.5 feet they move it as little as 3 inches i seen.
Tank must likely could do between425-450 pounds "still alot of weight".

Resting the weight on your stomach would be harder than bringing it to your chest.
They changed the rules years back you use to have to be flat on the bench and feet flat on the floor not like the joke the sport is today. i will find a clip for you.

Also he can do a pinky push up. His strength in lifting is atleast professional athelete level and striking is ****ing superhuman.Anyone eveer see the video when bruce lee is like 5 inches away from a big ass mucle man and hits him in the stomach and he goes flying back? Damn crazy!
