found this on another site but alot of guys are knocking him cause he's shirted.do shirts actually add that much to ones bench?! even if so for a 17yr old senior in HS i think it's pretty impressive.wish i had gotten into PLing at a young age.now hitting almost 46 i don't think my joints could take that.i'd crush under that load.shit,i was happy i got 447 last year,can't imagine 700lbs,lol!

Yes shirts can add 150 depending on what type, and yea either way it's impressive

That's like saying "he hit 700 on bench, but he used steroids." Like it doesn't count.

Shirt or no shirt 700 is still impressive IMO.

I remember playing football in highschool we had a 300 lb club for benchpress...I guess in Texas it's the 700lb club now...dang

ive shirted up and crushed 700 once in my life. it does add alot to bench but you still have to be able to do 5-600 raw which is crazy! and at 17 is unbelievable

after watching this I cant even think about my small achievements. good for him 700 is a goal very few get too and he is still so young only can imagine where he takes it if he can keep his head straight
