In the 1950s, Doug Hepburn became the first man to bench press 500 pounds. The bench press, in its current manifestation, had been around for about half a century up until that point, but up until Doug came around, nobody had even benched 400, let alone 500.
Nowadays, many people bench 500, and Eric Spoto now holds the raw bench press record at 722 pounds, but the trend remains the same... many people theorize that some milestone is not possible, until the first person breaks through that milestone, and in come the wave of people to follow.
Innovation occurs the same way, many people have ideas, but think it is impossible or too difficult to bring into fruition, but flood gates of copycats open up as soon as the original is released.
If you have an idea(or want to be the first 750 pound bencher), go for it, because even if you don't believe it can be done, you better believe someone else will.
