His name is Dick Austin and He benched 400 with a shirt when he was 76 and 315 without the shirt.
I just saw him bench 348 at 78 years old at the Maine power lifting championships.
He did not bench a competition bench over 300 at 76 and his 348 at 78 was a
"shirted" lift
Tom Sisk lifted 308 in World competition in Dec 2012 at 76 yrs old and remains the
oldest lifter to bench press over 300 lbs "raw"
At present, the world's oldest weightlifter is Sy Perlis. He is over 90 years old and competes on a regular basis.
