Tatsumi Fujinami

“自分のベストで（ベンチプレス）185キロ”

Tatsumi Fujinami recalls his 185 kg bench record at a book event — Nikkan Sports, January 26, 2026

Fujinami explicitly describes 185 kg as his personal best from earlier training with peers. Exact performance date, reps, equipment and bodyweight are unknown. Date uses the January 26, 2026 interview and publication. Age 72 refers to the interview, not the lift. His separate claim about what he thinks he could lift now is approximate and hypothetical, so it is excluded.
