Scot Mendelson's sister Shawna indicates that after competing in the WPO Stars of the Bench in July, Mendelson will begin training to compete in a raw meet. She also says that his raw bench is currently over 800 pounds.

"He is over 800 now raw. After he gets back from Russia he is going to start training for a raw meet again."

So what you guys think? I think if he can make good on this in competition, it would be SICK! Look for him to SMASH the geared record sometime soon. Remember, you heard that here.

Belt and wrist wraps are the only equipment allowed . No elbow braces, and the lifting costume is to comprise of a singlet and a t-shirt.

Here's his 715: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bu9csQC45c
