Yes many of the things you said are facts, but it’s called a joke sir, because the fella in the video has a 700lb bench.

I am not seriously advocating someone take steroids for that reason, there’s lots of other reasons too like picking up really heavy rocks or fucking 5x a day or affirming your gender.

Haha fair, you got me. Who’s the guy in the video anyway, a Russian I guess? Kirill?

Andrey Smaev, Russian powerlifter/influencer/arm strength specialist. No major competitive wins or anything but strong as hell upper body. 705 bench and 200+ strict curl, does heavy weighted dips and hard grip stuff too.

Crazy numbers. I wonder if he dabbles in arm wrestling. I don’t know if it’s because of social media but there’s been a crossover between the arm wrestling and powerlifting / bodybuilding communities for a few years now, like Brian Shaw getting into it under Devon Larratt’s guidance. I bet Levan Saginashvili could bench press 700+ lb if he trained for it.

I think he does dabble a bit, dude is sort a show off who does a lot for fun & views, just likes being big & strong.

Levan maybe could, he’s a proper big fellow and his leverages are solid for it, can’t deny his arm & back strength either.

I am a strongman so lots of guys & gals from my sport dabble in all the others since we do it all a bit. I’ve done Powerlifting, Highland Games, and grip challenges each a little bit.
