JEFF MAGRUDER – BORN: ~SEPTEMBER 5, 1953 IN MINECHE, GERMANY – DIED ~FEBRUARY 24, 2017 IN TACOMA, WASHINGTON

[FUZO]

From WABDL.org I have been in the sport for 45 years and I feel Jeff Magruder was the greatest bencher of all time. At 240 lbs., Jeff did a 640 raw bench. At 220 lbs, he did a 560 raw bench press. Jeff did a 661 lb. raw bench in the gym weighing 246 lbs. He benched 515 raw at 198. He did 52 reps with 315 raw.
Jeff’s more memorable meets occurred in Russia, Slovakia, and Italy in the APF where he won world championships. He totaled 2133 at the Hawaii record breakers with 639 bench press, 777 squat, and 717 deadlift. He won the Hawaii record breaker twice and also won a Venice Beach bench press extravaganza with a 595 lb. bench. The event was M.C.’d by Arnold Schwarzenegger. Jeff set 23 world records in the bench in his career.

Jeff was a monster of benching and his build was unbelievable.
