Dwight Howard Impressive Bench Press

Everybody knows Dwight Howard is an athletic freak and he’s recently added bench press to his repertoire. This video shows Dwight Howard repping out 315 (or at least that’s what it looks like) with relative ease. The feat is especially impressive considering how long Howard’s arms are. Take a look at Howard’s form.
I’m really surprised at how good his form his. He’s not using his back and there is no bouncing of the bar which is more than you can say about a lot of weight lifters. From what I’ve read, Howard gets 365 lbs max. That shows a lot of power with the amount of extension he needs to finish the lift. Compare how far a lengthy person like Howard has to go to a person with shorter arms and a thicker chest. I’m impressed.
