A couple of tweets about Jesse Williams benching 600 lbs this morning. This guy is a monster!!! I definitely would not want to be an opposing offensive linemen with that guy lining up in front of me.

Carson Tinker ‏@carsontink I saw @ThaMonstar dominate 600 lbs on the bench this morning... Incredible

Very awesome! Hope the rest of our guys are pushing themselves just as much this summer.

"A couple of tweets" my foot! My twitter feed was literally exploding with the news of Jesse's accomplishment!

Way to go, big guy!

Like we need any more reasons to be afraid of him.

"Roughly equivalent to lifting on Damien Square in each hand." YOIKS!

Aussome!

Anyone know what he's up to on squats?

 

[G-VilleTider]

We got a Donk!

That is incredible. I anxiously await the NFL combine next year when we see if he can break the record for reps @225lbs.

 

[CrimsonBeachBum]

That's incredible.

that's a lot of plates on that bar

Are those his pecs protruding from his shirt???? OMG!!! on TideFans.com

I remember I felt when I first threw up 600...:smile:

That's incredible though I think it should be listed in kilo's or stone.

To put this into perspective, as best as I can tell from the picture, Jesse's not wearing a bench press shirt. As far as I can tell through limited research, although the unshirted world record sits well above 600lbs at 715lbs, 600lbs or more has only been pressed 58 times in the world previous to Jesse's lift. He's in rare company.

Psh...I could bench 600 pounds too. Well, not all at once of course...what's that? Jesse's was all in one lift? OK never mind. :biggrin2:

 

[RollinTider1335]

Buy that man a beer! Unreal.

 

[CrimsonTheory]

Hulk smash.

 

[BamaFossil]

Guess I'm a bit surprised the trainers let him try it. Certainly don't need any muscle strains...

Any idea on what the record bench at UA was before this? I'm assuming this is a new record in the weight room.

Not so hasty. The punter's up next.
