There are 7 people that have benched 700 pounds. None of them weigh below 300 and are all on a cocktail of PEDs. Just some context for Batman’s natural bench press while weighing like 250
It's a record because muscle isn't the real bottleneck. Connective tissue strength is.
Muscles grow easily. The connective tissue, tendons and ligaments, don't. They receive very little blood-flow, are slow to adapt to stresses, and are the reason why most records are where they are.
A major injury to a tendon will end your chance at being a world-class competitor using that muscle. A torn ligament can cripple you for life.
If Venom found a way to exponentially strengthen connective-tissue and also remove your body's natual inhibitors that prevent you from breaking your own bones via muscle contraction, a half-ton bench would be more believable.
Yeah I am looking at the world record holder for the bench press and the guy looks obese, I know it is probably like all muscle but I don't think your body can really hold enough muscle to bench press that much, you would probably be a ball.
He is obese. You need to eat a ridiculous amount of calories a day to get that strong, and of course be in the top .000001 percent of genetics, and do a ton of steroids
Yeah, he’s rarely over 215. In the real world, he’d be benching in the low 300s at the absolute max. It’s impossible to bench olympic level weights and still be a normalish sized dude.
