I would guess about 350-400lbs which at 148lbs weight class is still world class but if the weigh-ins are 24 hours before instead of 2 hours then he probably weighed closer to 160-165lbs when he actually lifted? I've seen a shirt add 300lbs to a superheavyweight's bench. Also, the rules are very lax in the WPO. So, people comparing themselves to this should know that though phenomenal it isn't as unattainable as it first seems. I've lifted for 28 years total and powerlifting for about 23 of those years. We don't call benchers only powerlifters. They're bench press specialist. Try squatting heavy before the bench and deadlifting after and you'll know the difference.

I do think Joe has some unique genetics though. Impressive - no doubt. I do think Joe has some unique genetics though.

I spend 2 hours per day at the gym and bench a respectable 285 at 180 lbs... and I'm not even at double bodyweight! I shudder to think how I'm mispending my time (and supplement money). Good lord.
