View Full Version : This kid is a FREAK!
Braden Smith benches 515 in high school. I dont know what grade he is in, but does that matter?
Wow!
I guess he can pick what sport he wants to be pro at and have his pick of scholarships at this point. Very impressive lift.

He is definitely strong for sure! I'm amazed he wasn't making any noise pushing it up! 515 lbs is a ton of weight!
6'6,285,shot put and discus in track,lots of college football offers,ranked ninth as an OG out of the top 300.

Wow. If you read some of the comments on the video, lots of people are claiming he used fake plates. The measures people go to just to avoid admitting their own jealousy and insecurities... It is truly saddening.
Horrible form and why are the spotters still touching the bar ? ..... Still a strong boy :) but 3 Red lights - lol -
With some good strength coaches in college he could really improve.Will be interesting to see how his football career pans out.

What makes it look fake to me is how easily he unracks the weight.....the spotter doesn't help him unrack it at all, and it goes up quite quickly.

Yeah... Another interesting thing I found was when I went on to rivals.com to check out his stats, it said his max bench was 425 lbs. Maybe they don't update till next year? But I doubt it... Just a speculation I noticed.
