While on a run with a friend we had a great debate about how many 4min milers have ever benched 300lbs. I thought of one that possibly could have. I would imagine Paul McMullin could have. Does anyone think that has ever happened or know that it has?
Isn't there some story about Joe Falcon in college getting hassled in the weightroom by some football guys, then he just went over and started benching a heavy amount? 250? 300?
Did I confuse this with someone else?
Said Auotia benched 300 lbs. ..... but not all at one time.
Steve Scott would have probably been in the 250 lbs. bench range, maybe more.
Ian "Mongo" Conner could do it.
Earl Jones
At the age of 18 I ran a 53 400 and benched 250
4 min 300, I bet speedkills easily did that
Joe Falcon did it. 3:49 plus benched over 300m
Bill Braski did it. 3:45 Mile. 890lb bench press.

This is actually an urban legend. My coach (who knows joe falcon) told me that this was just a joke that Joe falcon told people.
Jason Rexing did it in trainers

No, he didn't. Pinky-presses don't count.
to westie, Joe was not a urban myth, many arkansas alumni, including my dad, can tell you that they saw Joe drop many jaws in the weight room.
Why was he carrying them?
peter snell the guy was huge
Joe Falcon was never capable of more then 200 at any time on the bench press, you are correct that the story was just that.
been there done that. Also squatted 750, leg pressed 2200, single arm curled 75 lbs. and benched 425 at Gold's in Venice in the late 70's. Fill in the rest.
Heck the golf channel said that Tiger Woods benched over 400 pounds, then much later admitted it was a soloflex machine.

bill braski also ate a bible while waterskiing.
and he maxed out at 890 because the gym didn't have any more plates. (he raped the gym owner because of it.)

Bill Braski ate a 100 lb weight once, then ran a marathon in 2:13...in jeans.
Brasky ranked 18th in the AP College Football Pool
