TweetIs it possible he is clean? I knew a guy in hs that benched 500 lbs and was clean... He was like 5'3" and weighed like 300 lbs... I have a hard time seeing anyone get to that level at that age without something extra...

If Matt Poursoltani keeps lifting at this rate, he may be able to find a part-time job hoisting cars or other heavy objects off people sometime soon.
Poursoltani lifted a ridiculous 700 pounds on Saturday — a feat not only impressive because it’s 700 pounds but also because Poursoltani is a 17-year-old 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.
And don't call him a juicer. A recent profile on Poursoltani broached that very subject:
He has been asked by friends, fans and even by his teammates if he uses steroids. He confidently tells all of them no.
“If you need something to help you work out, you need to get out of the sport,” Poursoltani said. “If you can’t drive yourself that hard to come in here and work out, then it’s probably just not for you.”
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.
God gives the hardest battles to the strongest soldiers

Tweet<<<<<<< strokes goatee hmmmmmmmmmm
TweetHmmmmSounds like something Lance Armstrong used to say LOLHe has been asked by friends, fans and even by his teammates if he uses steroids. He confidently tells all of them no.
“If you need something to help you work out, you need to get out of the sport,” Poursoltani said. “If you can’t drive yourself that hard to come in here and work out, then it’s probably just not for you.”
In any case, 700 bench at 17 is amazing
TweetFreak of nature right there...wow
PAIN DON'T HURT
TweetIf football is his sport, watch his locker be filled with letters of interest soon...
Tweeteither way it is very impressive!!
everything said and done here is for entertainment purposes only. i don't even really workout i just pretend like i do so i can have big friends
TweetAm I being too naive? From what I can tell he dosent look like he's on a lot if anything.... Not the clearest video.. Either way it is impressive... It would be mind blowing if he did it on his own...
TweetHe is wearing a shirt. It looks like a Titan Katana. Even if its double ply 200lbs would be a ton. I bet he is good for 550 raw. He doesnt have the super short arms barrel chest I would have expected. With or without juice a freak. I seriously doubt he is clean but who knows.
