It was just a random thought that crossed my mind and there is probably no way to know for sure. And I would think the answer is probably "no".

So who, or what type, of person has come closest? Say you add a subtract a "point" for every lb above or below 500 as well as every second above or below five minutes. Probably no one has a positive score (eg 470 bench and 4:29 mile or 520 bench and 5:19 mile) but I may be wrong.

I'm thinking the best in the world would be a linebacker, a middleweight Olympic lifter, a Mr. Olympia contender or a decathlete. I also think it would be cool to have this combined event be something with an official world record. Especially if specifically 500-5:00 is a bit above what has ever been done and was therefore something to shoot at.

Honestly I know nothing about running so I cant comment too much, but a Mr. Olympia contender is lol. My guess would be an nfl player but I dunno.

lolololol

Talk to Greg Glassman.

Roger Bannister ran a 4 min mile

I would think that a lot of high level decathlon competitors could do this.

Head asplode just thinking about this. I think the most likely candidates would be NFL players and/or Olympic weight lifters.

Also, I would assume a raw bench press (no shirt)?

Oly WLers?

Do you people even consider this **** before typing?

Why not? I think they would have a lot of potential for this. I'm definitely not saying that an OLY lifter could just do this without training specifically for it.

I have achieved this feat

these numbers can't be real. Tiger Woods benches 300??

i know he does a lot of strength training, so definitely not impossible

Tiger Woods is a big man

He must be able to curl like 100lbs.

oh and i'm lolling at how unrealistic that list is.

Former Cowboys offensive lineman Larry Allen: Max - 700 lbs.

brb nearly tying the WR bench press.

larry allen et al benching 700: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1FAbsxREb4

why did i expect this after seeing other atrocious squat vids from american high school teams.

A PLer would be far better suited just from a training perspective.

Oly lifters do very little horizontal pushing. And no endurance training.

I can't bench press a single pound while I'm running

A 500lb bench itself isn't particularly impressive for an elite power athlete

lolololol Evgenys ITT

Yeah, though a higher degree of training specificity would be nice so that when he wastes away hunting the 5m mile he has more "headroom". Regardless, there is a much larger pool of PLers than Oly lifters who devote time and energy to benching and are significantly better at it.

Both lol at working for more than 30s though. lolololz

Some freak CrossFit cultist can probably do this. Thremp already nailed the right answer in post #3.

ben roethlisberger

lol

pretty sure gobboboy could do this
