I thought the kid that went to Ohio State Scott Kuhnhein held the records?

 

Scott was more of an athlete than a strong guy. He was strong, but Rob Smith was a different kind of strong.

Anyone have a link to where we can see these lifts? I'm not doubting it one bit, i would really just like to see a high school kid do this. Surely something like this was captured on video.

450 bench press if true he would be the strongest player in the state including UK and UofL!

I agree.

There are a few kids at somerset currently benching 300+ Red Smallwood is a 350 bencher and 500 squatter, a senior offensive lineman. While those numbers are nothing to scoff at the all time numbers are fairly impressive for a high school player: Tevin and Trey Slaughter were both 700lb squatters, it may sound crazy but it is legitimate. Tevin was also a 400+ bench presser and had a 335 power clean. One of the strongest kids I've ever seen play in person. At the strong man competition at Wester Hills (I believe?) Tevin dead lifted a truck 23 times... Truly a once in a generation player strength wise and the kid could ball as well.

What is more impressive? Bench press 405 for 5 reps or 450 for 1 rep?

They are fairly equal, but to answer your question, the more impressive performance is 405 for 5 reps.

 

One rep max for 450 one time, is obviously a max of 450.

One rep max for 405 five times, is 456.

If you can bench 405 5 times you should be able to bench 450 one time.

I used a "One rep max calculator". You plug in the weight and number of times you lifted it and it calculates the projected one rep max.

 

For 405 five times, it calculated the one rep max at 456.

Gage has increased his squatting max out to 600 at age 15. He could of probably even went further ..held up due to bar started bending . Also to prevent injury . He is very young , putting up some numbers.

Lol. Can't tell you how many times I've heard kids and adults throw these numbers out there and once they worked out with me they weren't even close. I've heard everything from bench 415 and it was really 275, and rep 225 25 times and it was really 7. Would love to see this, is there a video?

I can not speak for the other athletes , but as far as Gage and his squatting numbers . Yes the numbers are correct and school coaching staff , did video tape it on thier phone at practice.
