Mike is beyond Simeon's level by a long shot.
Do you follow Johnny Harris? He's been overshadowed by Julius Maddox lately, but he was the first man to bench 700lbs at under 300lbs bodyweight.

Simeon? He struggled with that 415-425lbs wearing those tight elbow wraps. He is pretty jacked, but not an impressive bencher. I think Mike Rashid has done like 500lbs at 220lbs though. I used to follow Mike on Youtube a few years ago. Don't really know much about Simeon Panda.
No, Johnny Harris. At least I think that's who it is I'm thinking of, I didn't really know his name until you mentioned it even though I follow him on IG.
Not to discount his incline lifts in the least but I always have to laugh just a little bit when he hits a heavy single because his ass comes off the bench so high that you could almost consider it a flat bench if he moved his ass up any higher lol.
Had to scroll back a little on his IG, but I see it now. If incline was a comp lift would definitely be three red lights.
On an related note I think a front squat, incline bench, trap bar deadlift meet would be a fun time.
Wanna start our own federation? Maybe a max cable crunch while we're at it, see how many backs we can blow out before the lawsuits start rolling in?
There's that one fed that has max OHP... I thought that would be red light city with weird violations but they kept it pretty structured and it was cool to watch.
Yeah, the strengthlifting federation. I think it's Mark Rippetoe's creation. Conventional deadlift only and overhead press. Weigh in after the meet.
USAWA has weird records for odd lifts. Not sure if they actually have official meets. They're based on old circus strongman type stuff.

How about John Haack? That's real power!
Yeah, 2000+ total at 181lbs is superhuman. He's not even remotely big, his tendons, joints, and muscles must be cut from a different cloth than the rest of us.
Those two dudes are thoroughbred, sheesh. I want his car hahaha, and that 425#...

Oh god, lol
Does anyone know what kind of straps Mike was wrapping around his tricep area/elbows?
Thanks a bunch!
Y’all go check out Perseus Black. He’s a 275 guy local here and is insane. Chasing 600 bench, 900 squat and 780 dead.

That's strong as fuck, but what is up with his deadlift compared to his squat?
From his bench number, I'm assuming that he has T-rex arms and just isn't built for deadlifting?
nah he’s actually not got TREX syndrome. Think it’s just more of a one off thing. Think he’s just built to squat huge numbers and still have decent DL but it’s out of whack a little by what we normally see. His first meet wasn’t till 2017. Now of course those Are meet numbers. I’ve personally seen him pull 840 in the gym and 700x5 belt less on a stiff bar so I think it’s just meet day challenges etc. saw him rep 315x29 on bench. It’s just crazy to see some of this stuff.
He missed 600 at the same meet Big Julius had the plate screw up recently.

Regardless, that's pretty damn strong.
