I'm planning on competing at record breakers this coming november in bench press only. In the masters 45-49 male division. I'm unsure at this time wether ill be in the 242 or 259 weight class but as such I was looking at the spf records in these divisions. The record that I suspect might be a mistake is the record listed for bench press only in the 259 weight class in the raw 45-49 division. It has the bench press record for that division listed as 700 pounds by a "Chip Dialgo" First of all I suspect that the lifter listed here might be meant to be Chip Eldalgo and his name is misspelled, secondly if this is the case, I don't believe that Mr. Eldalgo has ever bench pressed 700 pounds. He's a heck of a lifter that I believe bench presses in the 500s if I'm not mistaken. I would think that if any man had benched pressed 700 pounds raw weighing 259 pounds or less that it would be found pretty easily in goggle searches but I can't find anything on it. I profusely apologize if I'm wrong here but I'm thinking this listed record is incorrect. The only raw 700 pound bench pressers that I have heard of are Eric Spoto, Scott mendelson, and James Henderson. Any information about this would be greatly appreciated.
