You need low bodyfat to be ripped. Low bodyfat doesn't help a benchpress, and since he seems to be dedicated to maximum strength he probably doesn't bother trying to burn any of his fat off. Olympic powerlifters are usually husky at least from what I've seen.

That guy is really weird looking though....he has freak arms. And WTF is with that weird ass shirt?

Neither are the guys in the MetRX World's Strongest Men competition. Ripped != Strong

 

[Megadeth]

I wish I could do that but still be as lean and tone as I am.....

Was that really 965lbs? Looks like 400lbs to me.

Unless specifically cutting, most bodybuilders not only don't look very ripped, many could even be called stocky or, by super-skinny folk, fat. You have to eat more calories than you burn to put on muscle, and even if you're religious about eating only the healthiest foods, you still put on at least some fat. Most people aren't religious about it, especially powerlifters, as they're not judged on how low their bf % is when competing. The fat is then amplified because, with all that muscle underneath it, it sticks out more.

Those are 100lb plates... Can you imagine that many people gathering to watch someone bench 400? 😛 Not that it's light, but most guys, with a fair amount of work, can get to the point of lifting 400 or more max. In fact, the father on American Chopper did it on one episode.

The black shirt he is wearing is a benchpress shirt. His arms are like that because of the shirt. It is specifically designed to assist the stability needed for a benchpress of heavy weights.
