Larry Allen is a beast But the most athletic feat he ever accomplished was vs the Saints when he ran the Linebacker down 40 yards after the Interception

Update6 months and I'm still loving this bench. ru-vid.comUgkxo_64lVTGMk7y4aXTPxPOcQ3YTLyQ6kYV I use it almost daily. I've gotten used to the small wobble and it's no problem at all. Love the storage, it folds right next to my weight set in the garage and hardly takes any space. I wish the covering material was a little bit tougher. I have a feeling that in a couple years it'll tear, but the bench is very well priced that I would just buy a new one.3 month usage review. Awesome bench for someone looking for compactness and storage. I did have to drill a couple holes to adjust my preferred seating position and leg bar position but that's only due to my personal preference. It's very sturdy for normal workouts, but for anyone going above 100# dumbbell press it wobbles ever so slightly. I would probably go with a fixed bench if that's the case. That being said i can accomplish 99% of my normal gym workout with this setup. Very happy with the purchase.
Max White If you're trying to imply that the spotters are assisting to lift the weight then you'd be an idiot. You can look at the flex of the spotters arms and where their hands are to clearly see that they aren't helping him lift the weight. You're just jealous that you can't even leg press or squat that weight. But you probably weight 700lbs.

All the non-athletes can relax. This was a Hall of Fame football player, not a powerlifter in a competition. Larry is among the best to ever play in the NFL. Feel free to continue your banter, recreational athletes.
Thank you Jon. It's hilarious to hear all these critiques from couch potatoes and idiots who don't have a clue about what it means to compete at the very highest level against the best conditioned athletes in the world week in and week out.
The fact that he's a hall of fame athlete doesn't make these lifts any less bullshit. Just because Michael Jordan was the best basketball player doesn't mean he can't cheat at golf.
Timothy Coates That in no way refutes the point that these are nonsensical teamwork lifts for a publicity stunt. Larry was good for a 500s level bench. He would have been stapled to the bench with anything 600+...which is why all of these lifts required teamwork. My point stands: being the best in the world at football literally NEVER means being a top 5 bencher in the world. Real 700 pound benchers (there are only 3-4 in the world right now) have typically benched 315 for 40 repish. The current world record holder in the bench, Eric Spoto, benched 500x19 reps and he hit 722x1 in competition. Larry Allen only managed 225x43 the same year as this video, and that's what 500-525 pound benchers typically hit. I would know, I'm a 500 pound bencher. My guess is you are not.
You guessed correctly. I topped out at 3 plates it was all I ever needed to do what I did athetically. Your grasp of facts and figures of people you know and know of is impressive as far as it goes. Your analysis of Larry's bench however is nothing more than theory. It sounds good but it's still theory. You weren't there and neither was I. Your ability to lift 500 lbs is a non-sequitir to this argument much like the cheating at golf comment you made. If you have some proof he didn't and couldn't make these lifts I'm listening. I suspect you don't
His bench was impressive but without his.spoter he's not even close. I know from experience that if his spotter even puts his hands underneath the bar and isn't lifting up a bunch it helps out hugly.
Probably a bad day to lift for anyone else. Better hope its a dynamic day since you get to squat with 2 35s and every 10 that other people were not using since everyone probably had to grab up every sub 45 weight out there. Of course, if it was a powerlifting gym they would have had 100 pounders.
you idiots its the cowboys practice facility not to mention the 2nd most marketable team in the league. I think they have more than enough money to pay for more than a few 45's.
Strongest, yes, but the NFL's greatest OL is between either John Hannah or Anthony Munoz. Even legendary coach John Madden, who coached 2 great OL in Art Shell and Gene Upshaw with the Raiders, called Hannah the GOAT. That said, Larry Allen was freakishly strong.
lol 500-550 is probably closer to his true bench...and by true bench I mean if he followed bench press rules. Pause with the weight on his chest and no spotters touching the bar. This here is just plain ego lifting and I would have fined him big time and fired the trainer for letting him do it if I was Jerry Jones. Crap like this is how you get injured...especially the jackass diving on him at the end...his ass would have been fired!
@@theskinnieguinea When I finally got to 14, I practically wet myself . . . now, I know I'm just another run-of-the-mill schmuck. Oh well, better luck next life.
dadada yep I think Jerry is a pussy. He didn't say he could do 500 and by his rules he must be a pussy. So don't feel bad most of us are pussies including Jerry.
I woke up today hating myself, as I did the day before. I need a way to make myself feel better. I'll come on this video, and downplay something a man has done. I'll even make myself sound like I know what I'm talking about. I'll leave a negative comment. Hopefully other miserable people will see what I've said, and thumbs it up.
+Uptown Down Dont you fucking understand that lot of us who criticize are used to watching People like Kirill Sarychev and Eric Spoto World record breakers in bench press. It wont make me feel better but it pisses me off that people claim they lift this and that and in reality it there is a spotter assisting it. Then there is those fake plate assholes like Andy Haman for example. Larry is a strong guy but a 600 lbs without a help would be much more impressive and respected than assisted 700. And as a competing presser myself i know if spotter helps with even two fingers on the bar makes world of difference.
+Uptown Down I woke up today wanting to impress the world. I decided to post a RU-vid video of me and 3 of my friends lifting 700 lbs, but I claimed I did it all by myself. Anyone who has a problem with this is some sort of horrible, miserable person and a hater. They're not allowed to call me out on my obvious shenanigans, as I try to improperly overinflate my ego. Sure I'm stronger than everyone watching this video, and I could do a very impressive amount of weight clean.. but I need to LIE about a massive, world-record amount of weight to get that next level of artificial praise.
if you think that was impressive watch the play where he caught a guy from at least 20 yards back who intercepted a pass and was taking it back the other way
against the Saints and later in the same game nearly did it again as a CB picked a pass and returned it for a TD just a fraction of a second before Larry Allan catches him and tackles him before reaching the endzone.
The collars on the bar make it 50lbs. There was a dime on each end. It was 705lbs. You’re right. It should be all hands off during the lift. Still a powerful man.
Everyone is talking about the spotters. Shit, if I was spotting his id hand on for dear life. What if his hand slips? DEAD. Stop giving a HOF player shit for something he didnt even do. And if your talking all this shit how about you try it. Youll be struggling to put the weight on the bar.
everyone's giving him shit because he's claiming to have benched 700lbs when clearly there was no indication of proper form (aka bouncing off his chest for one rep) and the spotters were helping him. ZERO reps were done at this weight PERIOD. get your head out of your ass
Michael Green thank you. Someone gets it! Not not even a Cowboys fan and I give him the credit. Who is strong enough to to catch 700 pounds if he reaches muscle failure or he slips? That weight could dismember him.
that's why it's absolutely fucking retarded to try and lift that weight if you can't properly and cleanly lift it, you're just opening yourself up to possible injury. he didn't bench press 700lbs, he pressed it with shitty form with spotters helping him and the only thing he managed to accomplish was not injuring himself lol
For real. You think this man worth 100x as much as you they will risk even getting a little hurt? And I'll tell ya, help or not, he could easily plow through 2 Wilforks with his strength if he wanted to.
Really their hands were on the bar the whole time even with the slightest extra push your bench could change drastically Still really strong though mans a beast
That guy was just a powerful athlete. Watching the highlight of him running down that pick and then this demonstrates what kind of explosiveness he had.
People need to stop bring up bullshit about power lifters. Those roided out fucks wish they could be athletic. This man played in the NFL at the highest level and did this without roids. If Larry had trained as a power lifter he would have the all time world record no contest.
What the powerlifters in this comment section seem to overlook is: NO its not a legitimate lift YES he gets assistance. However he has no equipment and is not training to be a powerlifter. This guy is an absolute genetic outlier. I think if larry allen trained as a powerlifter for 2-4 years he would do some serious damage to world records. The amateur level athletes in powerlifting are simply not the top of the genetic pyramid in the same way the NFL is. NFL has athletes that represent the freak of the freaks. His peers have consistently acknowledged larry allen was functionally one of the strongest lineman of all time, he threw ground men around as a living. He has freaky fast twitch fibres. The genetic ability in this dude is off the charts, if he had chosen track he could have been an Olympic shot putter potentially and if he had chosen powerlifting I have no doubt he would be in the top 5 in the world in the bench.
Patrick Harrison no equipment? So what? Have you heard of raw lifting? He still didn’t bench 700 let alone 675. His max is around 600 not 700. It is still impressive though, but he can’t bench 700, and didn’t in this video James Henderson, Krill, Eric spoto, and Maddox can all bench 700, but not this guy
You don't think this guy bench presses all the time as part of his training? It's a massive step up from a comp style 600 where he is now to 700+. If Kirrill benched like him he would be 800+. 900 if he had the same spotters...LOL
TheMarine Jr Spotters helped the white guy bench 700 but nobody mentioned that. The spotters where invisible and Super white guy saved the day according to you.
Incredible strength, i think it may very well be the strongest in the world. Im talking of course about his sternum, ive never seen anyone bounce that hard.
Night 1075 depending on who youre asking. 1075 is the IPF record set by Ryan Kannelly under competition rules (down, pause, press, rack. neck and butt stay on the bench, no spotter touches ANYTHING) with a shirt. While the IPF record for shirtless is Kirill Sarychev which i believe was 740 again under competition rules. there are people who have "lifted more" under IPF rules, but because of the possibility of using fake weights IPF record is considered the record.
Night Ryan, but if were going by weight alone, put five two ply shirts on me and ill set a few records also. Its hard to say who is stronger between a geared and non geared lifter because the use or lack of gear does eventually become part of your form.
I know Larry is a beast but as a certified gymbro i cannot let him claim 700lb bench press , all 3 of his spotters were helping him, he is stronger than all of us by a long shot probably got about 550 in him,which is great considering he is an athulete .
I would say he had a competition press of about 550 like you say. And maybe a clean gym lift of 575-585. He had to have quite a bit of help with 635 he is no where near 705 not even hating
@@petergabriele9345 i think you are underestimating how much can spotters make difference those spotters looked like they were holding around 30-50 kilo each I think Larry will max out at 550 lbs something still a big number
@@AbeVicious how does that matter please don't be a sheep , have your opinion, I don't know which country you belong to but I am a free man of a free country , just because you haven't been to the moon doesn't mean you can't talk about it.
He strong but. I saw 4 dudes on it. When ever you see a spotter look at the spotters face and arms. dude on left was not impressed. Dude in back was pulling hard also.Not a true lift.
Bullshit, you don't fuck around with 700 lbs hovering hands as a spotter. You better have a firm grip or one muscle tear or hand slip and the guy is literally dying. Id challenge you to find anyone lifting that weight without an engaged spotter
@@MrSteelermania I lift about 560 @205 now im bout 230-215 . Check my 🎥. And first of all I lift heavy been lifting heavy and a good spotter positions himself and hands are ready not grabbing the bar .that means you have no confidence he can even lift it. You obviously don't know anything about lifting. Also it doesn't matter how much weight it is if you are close to lifting it you only need 1 spotter to take of a little weight in case of fail. Example if your breaking your record it would be up a couple of lbs. Not hundred s. Learn before you open your mouth.thanks and good luck.
1:39 To put it politely, jumping on in this moment while he’s yet to even put all that the weight down probably isn’t the smartest thing to do… like I get he’s hyped for mans but that was INCREDIBLY dumb.
I remember watching my team the Cowboy's back in the 90's Big Larry Allen making way for Emmitt Smith running down past Larry. Hearing John Madden in the box phrasing Larry Allen all the time of his great work ethic. Larry Allen was one of the best offensive lineman in the NFL.

Of course you remember bsck then cuz your team has been absolute garbage for the past 30 years so you gotta bust out the vhs tapes to remember what it was like to be good and but super bowls pre salary cap
317kg is insane unbelievable. My best ever was 110kg nowhere close to that though I'm no powerlifter or strongman, even with roids I doubt I could ever reach that, that's just insane gentics and a lot of hard work.
No hate here at all but in a meet or anything like that that lift would be no good. I don't think he can press 700. More like 600-620 range. Which is still 100 more points than my Deadlift. 😂 Dude is a monster but I'm sorry that lift was not legit.
I think the most he could have gotten is like 635 or 640. I think he could have gotten the 635 on his own with no help at all but the other two lifts he would not have gotten clean. So therefore he can't bench 700 pounds I am a big time powerlifter and can tell you his 700 pound bench press is actually a negative. But let me tell you this Larry Allen is one strong ass man.
If you drop the bar on your neck, your form is really shitty because you shouldn't be bringing the bar down to your neck. By helping someone out with the amount of strength each of these guys have, you are talking at LEAST, a 200lb weight reduction.
To the morons who say "keep your hands off the bar", that is 700lbs. With three guys spotting, that is about 233lbs of responsibility for each of them, between two arms per person, or 116.5lbs per arm used to spot. If they were not touching the bar, and something catastrophic were to happen, you are expecting them to potentially have to "catch" all of that weight?
Swagnificent Have you even benched your self ? if you miss a 1 rep max even two fingers on the bar will help a lot. He didint get that 635 lbs without a spotter. It would have been a much more impressive to lift 600 by himself.
The GOAT! My favorite player of all time, the strongest, most athletic big man to ever walk the face of the earth. A true specimen🙏🏾 R.I.P the GOAT Larry Allen🙏🏾
Have someone an 6 foot 180 pound guy- use just an index finger on each hand and assist you with more than your max and you will be surprised how much. I added 90 pounds with just index finger assistance not someones whole hands.
this dude is freaking strong , and that makes me think that kirill syreshev the holder of world raw bench press record is not a human , he pushed 739lbs with a very impresive form like it was nothing
This reminds me of Angelo Samarripa claiming he could bench 720lbs with a "bit of help" from his spotters. When he tried to attempt 725lbs without any help the weight nearly killed when it crashed into his chest.
Ya he definitely had some help, but still...what other athlete is doing anywhere close to that? My bench record is 355. I was trying for 350 for so long. A few times I did, a different spotter touched the bar so it was invalid to me. It pissed me off so much. Took me a while until I was officially able to count it. I was like "don't touch this shit until I say so or you see it going down"
