Oops, guess I was wrong, its 600 pounds, even more impressive. Now I am wondering how many other people can bench that much that we never heard of. We wouldnt have even known about tank's bench if he wasnt famous for fighting.
Strongman stuff doesnt impress these fighters anyway, LOL I've seen the biggest, strongest guys be knocked out on that show in a few seconds or have their arms broken...ewww.

Bounce or no bounce that is a very impressive feat of strength for Tank.
Oh God i just love how people think 500 lb raw bench presses are quite average in the world.
My God.
Yep I'm sure there's people out there who can bench 500 and nobody knows them on a national level or world level. But come on...the percentage of people in this world that can bench that kind of weight raw is very minimal, even for drug users.

300 lbs or not, it's still extremely impressive. Plenty of powerlifter guys out there over 308 lbs can't raw bench 500...but they can shirt bench 600+...

Yes that would be impressive for whomever did that type of workout and put up those numbers.
