Kirill Sarychev (315kg Bench Press) took 2 shots at a 318kg Bench Press.
This happend at a qualifying meet for the 2013 Battle of champions in Dobele, Latvia (08.12.2012).
They allowed 4 attempts. He made 290kg, 307.5kg, before he missed 318kg twice.
Afterwards he said that he made an error lowering the weight, letting it drop too far down. Then on the fourth attempt he just was not strong enough.
“Mistakes will be understood and corrected.”
Who will get 320kg first? Spoto or Sarychev?
Update: Here are his Deadlift attempts.
BTW, Konstantin Pozdeev deadlifted 400kg at 103kg bodyweight.
Thanks to Evgeny for submitting.
spoto already did 700lbs/320kg in competition.

700lbs are 317.5kg
Also at that meet, in case you didn’t see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=E79KMt67tsI
Is James Henderson still lifting or not? He made a 317.5kg bench look like it was a shopping bag. (No pause and not at official comp; but it came up easy!!)

he did 711 in a full meet and reportedly did 750 touch and go in the gym. He was definitely one of the best ever he was a very large man though-over 400lbs- I think spoto will be the first though he seems further along in his development and holds a lot more muscle mass in general by the looks of him.
