Hasim says his brother benches 100 lbs. more than him lol
And he's a surgeon!

operational physical strentgh is prolly Wlad(used to be Vitaly)
Peter is one strong Gorilla too.
Not sure about Valuev, but he is very strong too.

I meant 180. I got my numbers muddled, a 20kg plate and 10kg plate on each side.
