Career

[edit]

Stewart has competed in powerlifting and bench pressing since 2000. He has won eight US National Bench Press Championship Gold Medals. He is the most decorated and dominant 120 kg / 264 lbs bench presser in the history of this sport in the United States. He has earned 3 bronze medals, 1 silver medal, and 8 gold medals in national championship competition. Brady is the only US athlete in his weight class to have medaled in OPEN World Championship Competition with a team Gold (TEAM USA) (Hamm, Luxembourg 2009), individual Silver placing (Rødby, Denmark 2016), and two individual Bronze placings (Kaunas, Lithuania 2017 and Tokyo, Japan 2019). Stewart won the 2019 Arnold Sports Festival Pro Bench Championships with an historic lift of 372.5 kg / 821.2 lbs at a bodyweight of 124.89 kg / 275 lbs making it the All-Time Drug Tested Bench Press Record at 125 kg / 275 lbs weight class across federations (2 hour weigh in). This lift narrowly edged out Blaine Sumner's historic 455 kg / 1003 lbs bench press by less than 1/2 of an IPF formula point.
