Keith Harmon, 198, bench pressed 360 pounds raw at the age of 62 on Saturday at the WNPF Bench Press Challenge in Duncan, South Carolina. Harmon earned best raw lifter honors for the effort. Harmon opened with a successful press of 340 pounds, missed 350 pounds on his second, before hitting 360 pounds. Here is video of Harmon's lifts:
Wow, Keith, there are so few guys our age who can bench even 1.5 time bodyweight RAW, and you far exceeded that figure. Awesome and inspirational. Congratulations!!!
I am both humbled by and thankful for everyone's responses. Thirty years ago I was at 2.0 and 2.2 raw and natural. I am going to scratch and claw my way to see how close I can come to getting back to 2.0 by the time I'm 64. I haven't yet used bands, boards or chains, so I'm looking forward to a new challenge.
A good lift indeed. When I read the "press" part about this post I thought, overhead-press. Now that would be a feat for a man of any age. Still, good lift Keith!
