Before it descends into agonising over camera angles, the true meaning of parallel and the presence or absence of reverse bands...who is the strongest raw bencher of all time?

James Henderson?
Scot Mendelson?
Eric Spoto?
Other?

This guy?:

As piss poor as it is from a safety point of view, the threat of death/more paralysis would probably beat the hell out of nose torque for making sure you lock it out

Mine too but if Spoto beats mendys record with a legit pause this weekend then I think he takes the title.

Does Rahman just do paralympic comps? Is it theoretically possible to see him head to head against the likes of Spoto or Sarychev?

Don't see why not might need a able bodied bench and paralympic bench but with the same judges don't see why it could not happen.

Unfortunately I would think Rahman would be subject to the WADA/IPC rules, so not too sure if he would be able to compete against non-tested athletes?

Then again, I imagine being the all-time world record holder and best bencher in the world would get him & his country a lot of recognition, so the incentive may be there to do it anyway.

Edit - To answer the question, I'd say the strongest currently is Spoto. I think James Henderson's is the most impressive though, as it was done in a full meet and drug tested.

Rahman for me - international competition, no hand off , good pause , drug tested - plus the fact that he has no leg stability/drive

Spoto is a great gym bencher - probably the best repper

No votes for Jim Williams ?
