In terms of upper-body prowess and energy, powerlifter Joseph Tumbarello understands what he wants. If one were to peruse his general social media without any context of his career, goals, or ambitions, one would see an athlete wholeheartedly committed to maximizing his chest strength<\/a> through the bench press<\/a> by seemingly any means necessary. The chest-focused brick house of power may have outdone himself with his latest impressive feat in the books. <\/p>\n

On Jan. 16, 2022, Tumbarello posted a video to his Instagram profile where he successfully locked out a 281.2-kilogram (620-pound) Larsen press<\/strong> while wearing a lifting belt<\/a>, wrist wraps, and elbow wraps. Usually, a bench press of any sort over 600 pounds is impressive. That’s, understandably, a lot of weight to stack onto a barbell<\/a> and lift off the chest. Except Tumbarello, who weighed 115.2 kilograms (254 pounds) at the time of the lift, didn’t perform a traditional bench press. He used the Larsen press variation \u2014 with the legs fully extended and feet hovering over the ground<\/strong> \u2014 and notched a personal record (PR) in the process. <\/p>\n
