High School Senior Lifts 700 Pounds
Monday, March 25th, 2013 -- 3:08 PM
Matt Poursoltani of Texas bench pressed a ridiculous 700 pounds on Saturday.It was a feat not only impressive because it?s 700 pounds but also because Poursoltani is a high school senior at Pilot Point High in Texas, and because he has increased the amount he can lift by more than 100 pounds in just a year, according to the Dallas Morning News.
Poursoltani weighs 270 pounds, making his lifting astounding compared to the NFL bench press record of 705 by 325-pound Larry Allen.
The all-time bench press record is 1,075 pounds, by Ryan Kennelly in 2008, but Poursoltani appears to be on track to rival that if he keeps working at it.
