Answer 2

According to Wkipedia : Bench press world records are the international records in bench press across the years, regardless of weight class or governing organization, for bench pressing on the back without using a bridge technique. The advent of bench press shirts, which support the lifter's shoulders and provide upward force, have increased records significantly since 1985 (for example, when the shirted record was 438.64 kg (965 lb), the unshirted record was 323.41 kg (713 lb)).[1] As of 2015, the world record bench press without a bench shirt is 335 kg (739 lb), set by Kirill Sarychev (Russia) in November 2015.[2][3][4] The women bench press record (single lift) belongs to Sandra Lönn from Sweden, who lifted 235.0 kg (517 lb) and the women bench press record belongs to Hugdal Hildeborg from Norway, who lifted 227.0 kg (499.4 lb) (IPF standards).
