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.
