Do they have raw bench press records? I wonder how much gene can do without the shirt.

The link in the other post said that Mendelson holds it at 767 (I think). He is up to trying 900, but all of these guys now use the bench shirts not only because it makes them stronger, but it holds their deltoids in place. Without the shirt, they risk blowing their deltoids and ripping out their rotator cuff.

Holy crap. I wonder if those spotters would actually be able to stop the weight from crushing his sternum if he ever lost it.
