Powerhouse Jason Whitlock benches 600 lbs
 

According to this article, at least.

And yes, I laughed.

Looks like anyone who sent him info got it in the article..

that was an odd read.

Yeah, the article sucks for more reasons than "Jason Whitlock, powerhouse of the Kansas City Chiefs."

There are probably like 3 players on the Chiefs outside of kickers & Brodie Croyle who can't bench 300 lbs.

Not to mention Paul Hamm only benching 165 lbs? Give me a break. That dude could crush my head with one hand.

Tiger Woods says he benches a little over 300 I believe. Said he did 190 only in that article, but that was probably back when he was scrawny. I think chances are most celebrities and non-prime athletes (tennis, golf, etc) say they bench a whole heck of a lot more than they actually do though. I would believe most football, basketball and some baseball players because they probably work out with teammates sometimes and they would throw the BS flag on them

He's close to 400 lbs so what do you expect?

When his gut sticks out 3 ft, and his arms reach out only to 4 ft, he really doesn't have to push the bar up that far.

I'm not too impressed with fat guys and their bench stats. Give me someone who's 6'3 220 that can bench 400lbs, thats more impressive.

I bet Hali would struggle...

no no. Give him to ME

I'm 6'3" 200 and can bench about 185...

...

......

600 pounds? That's almost as big as his ego.

I'm not buying it I've done 300 once and its incredibly heavy. He's not that kind of athlete.

Wow, this article is very old. We hosted a powerlifting tournament about 4 years ago and I helped gather some interesting stats and info for the MC to pass on during the lulls in action and I am positive I used this exact article for some of the tidbits. It was outdated even then so you know its gotta be worse now.

I did a search and Tiger woods claimed a press of 375, I also found this as the world record... NEW BENCH PRESS WORLD RECORD 1074 LBS
