Basically, it says that Will Smith could bench 385lb while he was filming I Robot. If it’s true, it’s pretty impressive. That is, that’s a lot weight to be throwing around for his size–unless he’s bigger than he looks on the screen.
damn i didn’t know he passed up MIT,
know he’s smart though, said that he studied whole scripts and other people
as well and said before they did. really
impressive mind, and have no reason
not to believe that he can bench 385…
hell paul sr(OCC) can bench 405 with
sloppy form and he’s what 50-55 yrs old?
Have you SEEN Paul Sr.? His chest and arms are GIANT.
How many YEARS do you think Paul Sr. has been lifting freeweights?
Hammerstrength makes machines for “flat bench” (both upright and, well, flat), “incline bench”, and “decline bench”. Just because it is a machine doesn’t mean that they don’t call it “incline bench”, etc.

Same point I would make.
True. It just seems to me that the way the article describes it, it would have indicated it was on a machine. However, I found the whole thing as suspicious as I did interesting. Maybe dancing around the fact that it was a done on a machine was their way of dancing around the truth… if they did.
It is possible. Take a look at his physical make-up. He has developed tri’s and dealts. It is not out of the rhelm of possible just by looking at his phycical make-up. I do not think they were talking about a “machine.” When was the last time a pretty white Paramount machine went up to 385? Even it was was done on a hammer strength machine, it is a decent weight.
