How much can you bench? Strongman Bench Press (200kg for reps!)

For most people a 200kg bench press is a lifetime goal. For the world's strongest men, 15 reps might not even win! Watch two rarely seen bench press contests in strongman competition. Magnus Samuelsson takes on all-comers in the 2002 Stockholm Super Series, facing the Canadian record holder in bench, Hugo Girard. In the second contest, the 1998 World's Strongest Man meets his benching match in Derek Poundstone (2008 WSM runner-up), at the 2008 Sweden Super Series. It's worth remembering that these athletes don't specialise in bench press as it is a seldom used lift in competitive strongman. #Strongman #GiantsLive #WorldsStrongestMan Learn about: World's Strongest Man' Arena Tour at: www.Giants-Live.com
