In his Q&A Igor Lukanin said he doesn’t train the bench press.
Even with his long levers he does a pretty easy 200kg.
Shows that all the overhead work he does has a pretty good carryover.

900kg training total! He’s gotten heavier so it’ll be interesting if his oly lifts have gone up :D.
The old russian formulas say that you can bench-press around 40% of your total (without training it specifically)
“pretty easy 200kg” – how much easier can you get? The guy’s an animal!
All around beast. I’m amazed at how well rounded he is. Next we’ll see something corny but impressive like maybe a 50″+ box jump.
heh completely flat back and almost no leg drive you can tell he definitely does not bench often. With a few tweaks in just technique he is good for a 500+lb pause easy 600’s if he trained it seriously even with those very long arms.
