One Giant Lift for Mankind One Giant Lift for Mankind: The race for the 1,000-pound bench press. By Josh Levin Quote:

Yes, I think the lifting shirts have a lot to do with it, but I also think its a combination of more and more people getting into the sport and maybe today's supplements too. I figure back in the 1950's, there weren't as many peole knowing about the weight lifting records. As time goes by, and we become more plugged into the world of news, the word spreads and more guys say to themselves that they can beat that record. Plus the social acceptance has improved, bring out more of the talented guys from the pool. Who knows, maybe there were guys capable of lifting 800+ lbs all through time but they never had anyone say "Why don't you try?" What I mean to say is, records are records, they don't take into account each and every person on the planet. __________________ -ottomun6- It's time to stop sitting on the sidelines and get in there!

the records.. someone who sets a record shows what is possible.if you can win a bodybuilding contest with a 19"arm,why go for 20"?the 4-minute mile stood as an unreachable goal for a very long iime.until that was achieved,why go for under 4? |
