Long before the bench press had standardized rules, specialized equipment, or its own record books, a compact young bodybuilder from New York was handling weights that sounded almost impossible. Marvin Eder—known as “The Biceps from the Bronx”—was credited with a 515-pound bench press at roughly 195–200 pounds bodyweight, alongside extraordinary weighted dips, overhead presses, squats, and one-arm chins. Training at New York’s East Side Barbell Club during the early 1950s, Eder blurred the line between bodybuilder, Olympic lifter, gymnast, and all-around strongman.

100 years?
Few thousand years of humans and only 100 years of history ?
500lbs seems possible even before the recorded history
