Progression Of The Bench Press World Record
Bench press world records are the international records in bench press across the years, regardless of weight class or governing organization, for bench pressing on the back without using a bridge technique. The advent of bench press shirts, which support the lifter's shoulders and provide upward force, have increased records significantly since 1985 (for example, when the shirted record was 965 lb (438.64 kg), the unshirted record was just 713 lb (323.41 kg)). Today, the world record bench press without a bench shirt still is 715 lb (324.3 kg), set by Scot Mendelson in May 2005.

No law of material movement applied to it.”

or had new children all boys.”
