Dave Waterman was a notable American bench presser in the 1990s who bench‑pressed over 600 lb (e.g., 611 lb and 628 lb in APF/bench‑only competitions).

This workout was republished July/1998 from POWERLIFTINGUSA.

Waterman competed in bench‑focused and powerlifting meets affiliated with federations such as the APF and events like the Arnold Classic bench press showcases, indicating activity in mainstream U.S. lifting circuits of the 1990s and early 2000s.

His bench training and competitive performances were featured in Powerlifter Video Magazine issues (e.g., #18, #21, #24), which documented him training and pressing alongside other recognized lifters.
