Michael Belk had an off day for him and still put up 1875 raw on Saturday 26th in full power and Tim McVicker was close with a raw 500lb bench @ 48 years old. I agree with Jim Ray Rubin Smith was awesome. He benched 500 raw on Friday night and came back Saturday bench only and opened up with 500 raw before benching in a shirt.

Nice pulling James, I know you been wanting 700lbs for a while now. Now that's in the bag what is next for you? Personally I would like to see you in a suit and push the number even higher, but that is just me Smiling

I know what you mean Tom. But he only squatted 660 when normally he is over 700 , he only benched 560 when normally he is around 585 or more and only pulled 635 when normallyhe is around 680 or better. I really thought he was going to put up about 1975 - 2000 but I guess even superman has a bad day every now and then. All I meant was 1875 is not Belk like numbers. I know he will bounce back
