WOW...was that 600?

I can still do eight 225's and now I feel like pee wee herman.

[18.99s]

220kg = 484 lbs

[beebee]

220kg = 484 lbs

Sorry...been out of school for many years lol.

Still amazing.

220kg = 484 lbs

Semantics, but it's slightly over 485.

Does that spotter really look like he could help if Crouser got into serious trouble?

Yes. What's wrong with the spotter?

[Dave]

Yes. What's wrong with the spotter?

I can’t see him picking 225k off of Crouser’s chest. At least he has a spotter unlike the NZ phenom.

The spotter won't have to pick 220 kg off Crouser's chest, Crouser would be doing most of the work.

Crouser is a bad man but this is my all favorite bench press video:

No doubt Mr. Crouser is a badass.

Now don't be shy, jazz. Post us a link to the video of that old guy doing 10 x 315.

Thanks for the kind words but 315 lbs. ain't 220 kg so I'm not going to embarrass myself.

[DrJay]

I’m not sure I could move 315 with a forklift.

485.016976807 lbs to 9 decimal places.

I originally did just a quick "in my head" calculation using 2.2 as the conversion multiplier to get 484, rather than looking up the more precise 2.2046226218488.
