Garrett "GUNZ" Griffin is among the best raw bench pressers in the world. The New Orleans iron warrior sports a bodybuilder's physique while also boasting some of the greatest feats of flat benching ever, including a raw 520 competition bench at 215 lb, raw 500 competition lift at 207 lb and a raw 490 bench at 196 lb bodyweight – all lifts done in legit competitions where it counts. His world record includes the 198 lb APA raw bench press record. He's also the 198 lb APF raw bench press American record holder. GUNZ is currently ranked #1 in country in the raw bench press in the 198 and 220 lb weight classes. He also claims a 1710 lb raw total at 197.
What's on tap for him in The Cage? In GUNZ's words:
"My goal will be 550 and move one step closer to the all-time WR of 580. To top it off, I plan on giving the 200 lb dumbbells a ride for reps on the flat bench. I plan on feeding off the crazy energy in The Cage."
So will this Animal Athlete hit 550 at The Cage, a PR? The better question is, will you be there to see it?
