@natty__daddy: in my professional opinion, there's no way Pete Hegseth actually bench pressed 315. that means he used fake weights, which is pretty pathetic and embarrassing for us. #petehegseth #benchpress #fakeweights #embarrassing
Yeah they aren’t fake weights. They are however 10kg bumper plates. So like 22 ish lbs a piece.

to go with everyone else there's no bar bend in that either, 315 across a bar would definitely show a little bit more bend

thats not 315, those are rubber bumper plates like maybe 25lbs each. I bench 125 at powerlifting meets the plates we use are very different in competition. these are weights for training in an indoor gym.

45 bumper plates are just about double the size of those. Those were 25s. Source? my garage has both.

This build isn't pushing 315#. Anyone who lifts knows.

Im not sure folks understand the difficulty to bench 315 if they actually believe Hegseth did it.
