BIG Z - Žydrunas Savickas 250kg(551lbs) bench press 2011 HD

He does powerlifting in Lithuania only which is why I think we don't hear about it, I read an article not too long ago said he has squatted 420kg at a powerlifting comp. which is insane.

Bearing in mind he just log pressed 221 kg in Leeds last month, he must be able to bench more than 250kg.

for someone that can deadlift more than 1000lbs i thought he could bench much more than this. nice press though

He may be the strongest man but he doesnt look good

Yes he can

He can

And?

No and, that's my statement

Max bench?

He doesn't train the bench press. It's not part of the strongman competitions.

I know, but he used to be a powerlifter, so he will have a max bench, just as he has a max deadlift and squat. I've looked it up on his website and it says his max bench is 286kg.

That is not a very impressive bench for a guy of his size. I think if he trained it more often then he would be a beast at the bench. Just as he is at other strength events.

magnus samuelsson did 290 times 3 easier, this fatty is nothing

the scary thing about this is he does not train for bench.

this guy is a beast!!! I bet he can shoulder /log press this weight, he has perhaps the strongest shoulders in strongman history

This wasn't an easy lift. He's not in any form to bench press 600lbs.

imangine him to train bench...if he can 220 kg log he can 500kg+bench

He could do those for reps

human history

Yeah because you win Worlds Strongest Man multiple times by being a nothing.

Two points: 1. This is a bad lift and his form sucks 2. At 400lbs body weight this is hardly world class strength.

1. Yes, he failed to pause. However, his feet were planted, butt and shoulders down, and he traveled a full range of motion. Not to mention it was clearly easy. 2. Strongmen competitors hardly care about the bench press. He could probably put this weight over his head!

omfg. benching 250 with an arched back. that is NOT healthy

Most strongmen doesnt do benchpress because a big chest wont really do them any good, they train more overhead presses..

lol?! How misguided are you? an arched bench is beneficial in every possible way. God I hope you haven't been training long

an arched bench will give you more rigidity and a better angle, which will enable you to press more. it will also fuck up your back, and your posture. grow a little older and you'll feel the effects, guaranteed

bad comments abuot Savickas ...that is NOT healty.:)

if you people need to get ripped more quickly without spending a single extra minute in the gym, then you should look at this video tutorial SIXPP.COM You're here,' I murmured, reaching out to touch him, hardly believing this was real. 'You came back.' Ash's breath hitched, and he put his hand over mine. 'I came home.

wtf are you talking about that arch will ruin your back and posture. Unless you do bench marathons with an extreme arch it wont f*ck you up

It's rather sad to witness but people just can't contain the useless, pathetic animosity

Google Savickas routine and you will see he has a day dedicated to bench press. He is one of the few wsm level strongmen who bench on regular basis

lol @ clueless ppl here. Strongmans dont need benchpress. I saw him train for his season ( went to his gym) never ever saw him bench. They need strong shoulders - hence he can military press 220kg. And fat belly - it helps with atlas stone.

Looked like he pushed that pretty easily, I bet he could bench more Big Z is the man!

I think he can lift more than 260kg in bench press.

That press looked too easy. If I would't know who big Z is i would rather called this video scam. Great press!

not much for so big a strongman he should hit 700

I could be wrong, but I don't think that was his max.

I'm sure big z now can lift 10-20lbs more on bench press, and if he was a dedicated power lifter and spent time on his bench press which in assuming he doesn't then he would bench well over 600s

That looked easy, Beastly!!

His overhead log skills gave him this bench strength

I stumbled across your channel mate, really love the content. Subscribed straight away, We should connect!

Monster

So many pussies in this comments section who know nothing about lifting unless its lifting their boyfriends nuts off their gay chins

Love big z but I did it better.

what can these small Guys do if he lose Controll of that Weight? :/

Gotta say CT Fletcher makes Big Z sluggish

Eddie hall did 265 for 6 reps

Is that loaded properly?
