The Wilt Chamberlain Bench Press Myth: Busted?

In addition to many other myths about the man, there seems to be an abundance of completely false information regarding wilt chamberlain's track and field career floating around on this. Wilt chamberlain put a 235lb celtics star in a vise grip, proving his 500lbs bench press with arnold schwarzenegger may have been validated. Rumors claim that wilt chamberlain could bench press up to 600 pounds (and has bedded 20,000 women), however given his height, weight and reach this seems highly unlikely. The bench press thing is thrown around all over, but it simply can't be true. The world record in bench pressing was set to 565 in 1959.

Chamberlain holds the nba record of averaging the most points in a single season. He averaged 50. 4 points. I came into the nba and destroyed it. My tools were so.
