Probably under 500lbs. Not sure how much that bar weighs, it might be under the 45lb normal bar. But each girl is probably 100-115lbs because they all look pretty thin. But still pretty impressive

Eddie used to hold bench press records. He incline bench pressed 580. Normal was like 660.

No he didn’t. Bench press is probably his weakest speciality. He’s the second strongest to have ever lived (Bjornsson is top) in all around body strength.

He had dead lift records.

His bench press personal record is 617lb unequipped but with elbow wraps. Which hasn’t been a record lift since the 1960s.

The current world record is 783lb and they have outlawed elbow wraps in the unequipped category. The record has been above 700lbs since 1993.

So he is arguably 200lbs off bench press world record.

Also, the equipped world record is 1,401lbs. Eddie’s PB is 680lb.

He’s just doing this for giggles and views. His deadlifts and full body lifts are NFL. His bench presses are just average among pros.

Sorry, that was me trusting the stupid Google AI summary. I googled what his best was and it told me they were records. I hang my head in shame.
