Major, major advantage. I thought he didn't get it when I first saw the video because the bar hardly even moved.

Hilarious. The guy lifted 700 lbs, and people are going to discredit it with anything. He has shorter arms, and probably a lifting vest - but he still lifted 700 pounds. Long arms definitely make bench press harder, to this guy is more built for it - but it's still 700 lbs.
People don't look at Lebron dunking and go "doesn't count...he's 6'8."
I absolutely say that. I don't find anything impressive about Blake Griffin, LeBron, Dwight, or whoever dunking. They only have to get like a foot off the ground to do it.
Liftin 700 is still impressive, but with a vest and short arms, it really minimizes it, imo. There's a reason that a lot of great power lifters are short guys.

I can see the 130 lbs in a years time. The 30 lb jump in a weeks time is less believable.

I have a hard time buying 30 lbs in a week too, especially for someone who has probably been bench pressing for a long time. Going up 30 lbs in a week isn't all that difficult for someone whose just starting out I don't think (I know I went from like 205 max to 260 in like 2 weeks when I was 19), but moving from 670 to 700 in a week seems almost impossible.
