Not sure if anyone still gives a shit about this section. But, if anyone is still around here and has forgotten what real powerlifting looks like, particularly the bench press, here it is:

Good news Jason. The guy doesn't have the mega-blubbed powerlifter look either. So, you can cut out the 5 dbl. cheeseburger lunches. wink.gif

I'm 100% with you, that's a true test of strength right there, an impressive REAL bench.

Is that http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDhmYdbLoLY He's got a few impressive vids on Youtube. 405 close grip bench, etc...strong ass dude.

I think that's the same cat. It's the same handle. That fukker is an animal. He looks like he weighs around 230ish. Though, it's hard to tell how tall he is. I'd imagine he's pretty short, since it makes it easier to move that kind of weight with shorter arms.

Tell me about it broski.

My guess (but who knows really cuz there's no frame of reference) is he's between 5' 9" and 6'.

Werd. That's why powerlifting is such a joke these days. These so called "bench press specialists" put on a shirt that absorbs 25% of the weight and arch their back to the point that you could drive a truck under it, then push the weight up about 8 inches, and call it a world record bench press.

Scott Mendelson is the only one I have any respect for. He's the only powerlifter who's had enough balls to show what he could lift without the cheat shirt (715lbs). I'd suck Ryan Kennelly's balls if he'd do the same.

while you're entitled to your opinion, the video you posted he's doing exactly what you're complaining about. arched back, belly up, on his toes for leg drive, and it's borderline touch and go.

Somewhat, but not to the extreme as some of the metal militia guys.

Probably choking down another 5 dbl. cheeseburgers while counting his $ to see if he has enough for a Karin Kline Dbl. Denim bench shirt.

I'm surprised this impresses you enough to post it since you used to bench over 500lbs yourself roids.

Posted by: Roids May 28 2008, 03:36 PM
The vid demonstrates the difference between what he is doing and what the guys with the shirts are doing. The point is that the other is not real bench pressing. This is. That's all.

Plus, the fact that he's not a huge guy and this is 535lbs with his feet on the bench is pretty impressive.

lol, that lift is pathetic. Guy moves the shit down like 6 inches.

Posted by: Tyler43769 May 29 2008, 12:08 AM
at this last meet i went to, this guys ROM was like 8 inches, but he lifted raw. he just had a huge chest and short arms, it was how he was built. he got up to like 5 or 6 something, i forgot i just remember a shitload of reds.

Posted by: Tyler43769 May 30 2008, 02:23 AM
that 535 and 520 bench press also had suicide grip
i cant wait until they drop the bar on their chest
i hate that grip and cant believe people use it

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA Dude set the stoppers like 2" under where he picked the bar up from.

There's an old man at my gym that does the same thing. Loads the bar up with plates, then moves it like 1/2" down and up.

I've been extremely busy helping to rebuild a town after an F5 tornado. Roids is completely worthless to me anymore. Used to be a good laugh but has turned just completely annoying. He deserves no respect or credibility.

All he can do is negatively demeanor and disrespect me, my sport, and people that I train with. I've said all I need to say on this subject which Roids, a completely anonymous person, keeps repeating over and over again. I've got to many other things to do and worry about then argue with him.

I really like getting on these forums and talking with people, helping people out, and learning new things. It's anonymous people like Roids who try and spoil it. Who tries to bring everyone down for their own pathetic pleasures.
