DidRonnie Coleman really bench 222 lbs for 78 reps?

Kevin Levrone has won twenty-three IFBB contests.Until 2004, that was the record.

Levrone retired from competition at the age of 39 and then returned thirteen years later to compete in the Mr. Olympia contest.He did not place.

He is not all show and no go, and is still an impressive athlete.He is leaving.He benched a monster 500 pounds yesterday.

I have an old school power lifting work ethic approach.I built my career on that foundation.Go to the wall with balls.The bar should be cranking up that hardcore rock n roll.500 lbs smashed by cardillobeltweights.Father Time is my friend.A 50 year old took off for 15 years.The body will follow the mind.Everyone who believes in SHAAABOOM is entitled to this one.Don't say its to late.

We don't know his current weight, but he tended to compete at about 120 pounds.

He pulled off 4 sets of 4 reps at 405 pounds about a month ago.

The most obvious reason you don't see a lot of lifters pulling off one-rep max power lifting exercises is that they do not have to.Hypertrophy tends to happen in higher rep ranges, and putting 100 percent of your effort into one rep increases the risk of injury without a significant benefit to their sport.

There are exceptions to this rule.Ronnie Coleman is doing a set of 400 pound dumbbell bench presses.200 per hand.Wait for the trademark.

He was getting some help from his partner, but he wouldn't have been as strong if the workout had taken place before Mr. Olympia.

Kevin Levrone posted a quote on his Facebook after finishing a four-rep set of 455-pounds on the bench, but we don't know if he's heading back to Mr. Olympia any time soon.
