So you assume that every world class lifter competes in the ipf? The world record with out a shirt is 715, there have been guys benching over 600 raw since Pat Casey. There have been 6oo pound raw benchers since before they even made a shirt. How in the hell are you going to compete with a 600plus raw bencher, if your best raw bench is only 500 pounds? I would say if you were 198 to 220 then a 500 raw bench would be considerd world class. But in just about any gym, that has a big membership, or any big university that has a big football team, or any nfl team is going to have at least one guy that can bench 500. It is a damn good bench, but it has been done for years by a lot of strong men. Unlike you, I do have a lot of experiance with 500 pound raw benchs. Not blowing my own horn, I have been out benched by a lot of men, but I have benched 500 for reps a thousand differant times. One time I done it for 8 reps, after drinking a 12 pack, and even a few shots of wild turkey.
