Arnold bench max. Arnold s lifts were bench 170 kg 374 lbs squat 200 kg 440 lbs deadlift 280 kg 616 lbs. A photo of arnold deadlifting at this event was published in flex may 2005 but incorrectly dated as 1966. According to the record books arnold s best bench press was 500lbs.
I d love to tell you i was benching 2 5 x bodyweight at the time but alas i can t say that i was. He did 450lbs x 8 reps on max bench calculator that goes to about 570lbs but like a lot of people i guess he didn t go for an all out max very often because of the risk of a career ending injury.
