This shouldn't be humanly possible, what a ridiculous feat of strength, hands down one of the most impressive bench presses of all time.
whats more impressive than this? tbh
@Vincent Vachon facts what a legend
Agreed
I was like "never skip leg day!" Then, I was like "oh. I'm a monster."
I was thinking the same thing but it’s such a wrong thing to say.🤣
Finally, an Asian that can out bench UFpwrLifter pound-for-pound.
😹
Cause he has no legs.
@@jakesimmonds5043 But no leg drive.
I am stunned at this guys strength , I train bench with feet up and it is very hard and I,m not disabled , I weigh 125kg and bench 162.5kg strict form.
What this guy does cant be done !
He is a superhuman lifter !
All those comments about running faster than him , squatting more than him , you should be ASHAMED !
If your parents heard what you said they would draw the shades out of pure shame and embarrasment.
I, m not going to cuss you out , you,ve done that already yourself.
An old saying " Oh the gift that God could give us , if we could see us as other people see us "
Shame on you !
this is by far the best bench I've ever seen. powerlifting rules have gone to such crap. this guy laying flat does a perfect lift with a huge weight in ratio to his body even if you calculate his body weight with full developed legs this is one of the worlds best lifts by far , clean and perfect
So you're one of those people who choose to do something the less efficient way
+Christian Tobbe omfg, gtfo with that cheap crap. tell me how efficient aka applicable is that retarded arched back 3 inch rom bench? this true RAW lift is infinitely more stronger and applicable than the geared crap
Ah, now I understand, you can't read. A. Nowhere did I discredit his lift. B. Smaller range of motion means less distance and less force over that distance, thus more efficient. C. Nowhere did I say anything about geared lifting. Have you never seen someone arching while not using a shirt? I hope so.
10 years later and I've only just seen this. What an absolutely mind-blowing feat of strength. Still second all time under 148 lbs bodyweight with NO LEGS!!
a 498 raw bench with NO LEG DRIVE. incredible.
Here's a question: WHY THE HELL IS POWERLIFTING NOT IN THE REAL OLYMPICS???
Because it isn't a skill. Outcome of powerlifting is determined by genetics and time.
because these paraolympians are actually bench pressing, there is no over exaggerated arch or ultra wide grip or 2 inch rom. Powerlifting is a bastardization of all three lifts, ridiculous wide stances sumo deadlifts, back hinging low bar squatting and super arched 2 inch rom wide gripped bench. olympics says no thanks to that bullshit.
Y H Olympic weight lifting is more dangerous, I’ll give you that.
@@justrinat2207 if that's the case why would someone will elite genetics spend so much time training if there's no skill for improvement??
There are many common reasons why powerlifting is not in the Olympics:
One is that the sport is not popular enough world-wide, another is that there too many powerlifters caught using PEDs, powerlifting is too long, poor judging on all 3 compound lifts, lack of technicality (commonly on the bench press and deadlift), an equipped division, and the rules of powerlifting vary in different countries as there are a lot of small powerlifting federations
Really interesting that even without leg drive they can be so strong. Good for them.
because bench is an upper body exercise... DUH! and before you say, I do powerlift, and understand its technically a full body exercise, but I find leg drive has very little impact, it still comes down to strength in chest,shoulders,triceps,lats (:
well then what is your point? of course the prime movers are all in the upper body but leg drive does help with strength in the bench press as well.
I also am thinking the same thing. Leg drive helps so much. If he had leg drive, he could probably pull off a bit more weight, too.
@@samismx and he'd be heavier
Holtii14 Moron you literally contradicted yourself making your point invalid...
Thanks for all these amazing clips. It's really motivating to see these beautiful RAW bench presses.
What the heck man! Close grip, full pause, not even a set of wrist wraps. Tip my cap to this man.
how is this close grip?
Thats not close grip lmao
No leg drive either, seriously, it's fuckign impressive.
@@BubbleTeaFob LMFAO obviously no leg drive
@@BubbleTeaFob not sure how i feel about this no leg drive comment
Incredibly inspiring!
Stronger than any geared IPF bench for sure
this is still amazing every time I see this. I can only imagine how much more he could do if he had leg drive. Really inspiring.
This is insane, wow, mad respect for this man. Didn't let the leg part stop him and kept working hard to master his bench.
wow that form is beautiful
Best video ever. Seriously, this is fucking amazin. 226kg! Damn!
I love this guy. This is an amazing story.
Probably one of if not the most impressive feat of strength to date
unreal thats simply amazing
This is the most impressive thing I’ve ever seen
He did it so easy and so strict ! Awesome!
WOW THIS IS AMAZING!!!!
Wow! I was expecting a ridiculous back arch and I was expecting a major chest bounce. Nope! That rep was clean af! Mad respect!
Inspiring!!! Salute
Outstanding!!
Wow what a beast. It’s incredible.
That was inspiring!
this is probably gonna be the most impressive bench i ever i see lol
Bro, show me i have no excuses, just pure human perseverance
This is so impressive!!!!!
Insane😍😍.. God bless u bro
Great lift!
Unreal strength!
incredible!
That's a very clean press. No arching or bouncing. Impressive.
That’s just plain insane!
Amount of strength is just astonishing keeping in mind he has also no arched back or anything similar
Amazing. Maxinum respect.
That is sick! Nice!
Amazing
RESPECT.
Lei is a beast..period
WOW N WOW, JUST AMAZING, N WOW AGAIN.
Wow, this blew my mind
good job man
Lats certainly engaged, they are flared out.
Pure upper body strength no leg drive needed
Imagine how strong he could be if he used leg drive
Aeesome badass
Very good
wow!!!!!
WOW!
Wow!! I feel weak now.
How is this even possible?!??!?!
Easy too! Incredible!
What a fucking badass
and thats w/o using a leg drive, thats some insane upper body strength
Wow!!!!
Unbelievable this is super human
Inspirational!!!!!
That shit is beyond boss!!
holy shit!!!!!!
Fucking amazing
He has an upper body of a 190lb man, who often hit 500+ bench presses. This is a really good strategy for bench press WRs, whether he intended for this or not
WOW
I was going to say something about his chicken legs, but then I saw the wheelchair.
I can't tell if all the comments about him skipping leg day are for shits and gigs now... I saw one comment about it and thought it was pretty funny and now I've found 4 more... are people really that stupid that they can't see this is obviously the paralympics?
🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️💪💪💪
Damn, do i even lift??
+esvyd DE do we?
whats even more impressive, is he cannot plant his legs to help him drive, RAW upper body strength right there.
I was about to dog him bad about skipping leg day but had no clue he's a paraplegic so in that case, thats was what I consider a true raw bench, no leg drive or nothing, just all upper body, and I mean that sincere, not trying to be a dick
no arch, no leg drive, just raw strength
A RUclips search of liu lei showed a 2010 event where he did 224 compared to this video of 226kg. Why, in the past three years, has this lift never been recorded in powerlifting watch's raw records? So is this 226kg lift in 2012 going to be recorded anywhere? Or Are paralympic lifters categorised differently? Sincere question here
As I understand it, one of the rules for the bench in most powerlifting federations is that the lifter's feet must be flat on the floor during the lift. Athletes like Lei Liu wouldn't qualify.
***** I am not trying to take anything away from the lift, but because he is a paralympic lifter and don't really have any weight in his lower body is the reason he is a 148 pound beast. Paralympic lifting records should not be mixed with normal records.
Because they are not competing on equal terms. He probably has an upper body of an abled lifter who is 1-2 weightclasses above him due to the fact that his lower body weighs next to nothing. I know he doesn't have any leg drive and his back is not as arched, I just don't think that really makes up for the difference in the upper body.
Thanks guys for the discussion. I agree with all 3 of you and it is really arguable on both ways. Here's some more information: check etwade's other video where nader beats rick couch's 132 weight class bench record, for a 432 lb bench, also at the paralympic meet.
But, Kristoffer Kulecki (raw record in 148lb until Liu Lei beat him in this video) and Rick Couch are still cited as world records in powerlifting watch. Now here's the thing, RUclips User Matt Foss in his response above mine, mentions that this may be because for a regular bench press, you usually want feet on the ground, it's tradition. Strangebien also added an extra point that due to different body composition, that's why the old records still stand. Burt argued his counter points too. But etwade (uploader of video) mentioned Kristoffer, whose record is cited in 148lb of powerlifting watch, was also a paralympic competitor. So here's my next discussion point: Was Kristoffer, despite being disabled, able to put his feet on the ground? If so, then I see consistency here. But if Kristoffer was same as Liu Lei, in terms of lower body being very small and unable to touch the ground, then I see inconsistency on powerlifting watch's part. I may email them or something to ask about this.
As for what I feel, I think I tend towards strange and Matt's arguments while still respecting and agreeing with Burt's counter points. What I feel is that maybe they can separate regular records and paralympic records into two separate things; I mean, you got to credit these strong guys! But, under powerlifting watch's list of 8 lifters in the hall of fame of triple bodyweight raw bench, add these disabled lifters inside without separating them. But wait, I just found another confusing thing, in the 8 lifters in hall of fame of 3 times bodyweight, there's rick couch whose record was broken by paralympic lifter Nader, yet there's no Kristoffer. So if the reason is because rick is not disabled and Kristoffer is disabled, then why the heck is Kristoffer's record in the raw record list and not Liu's. Lol.
By the way the Chinese names are pronounced with the surname first, so etwade correctly put him as Lei Liu, just that friends would tend to call him Liu Lei when conversing in Chinese. At least that's what I think as many surnames are Liu over there.
How tall is this guy?
Looked so easy that he could surely lift more. Damn..
Our strength potential is literally unmatched. People should stop taking asians for granted. We are not weak. We just choose not to make a grand exhibition of it like most other races because of our Confucius values. Blacks and Asians have the best muscle recovery genetics according to genetic literature and East Asians also top the charts in bone density and free testosterone. A lot of people misinterpret high levels of DHT (or dihydrotestosterone) as an indication of high testosterone levels but that couldn’t be further from the truth. DHT is only responsible for male sex traits like facial hair which admittedly we East Asians are slightly lower in but our free testosterone levels are quite literally unmatched by whites, blacks, middle easterners, you name it.
i feel like asian have less potential for hypertrophy but more strength from my experience powerlifting. no evidence to support this tho i might be wrong
This guy could probably punch me into next week
boss
Fucking god bro
Do you even squat bro!
Does anyone know the record in the non para-olympics? Not to be mean, but if he had leg muscle he’d be in another weight class.
Disabled people like this are amazing with unable to walk all his strength is on his upper body
There ergo their ability a body part they lack help them be stronger in the body part they still have.
174 wilks score my lord
How?!
So much for the importance of leg drive...
Jesuzzz
Oh my god, I'm a weak bitch.
How
He looked like he had a few more reps in the tank.
i dont know what do 150kg guys in powerlifting bench press but im guessing its near this figure,amazing
It's 700p at the top, so yeah, this is really amazin
The world record in his weight class is 440lbs so 60lbs less and the open class record is 722lbs.
How can someone give his a "thumbs down?" Must have been tired and made a mistake...
I was about to make a Bro do you even work out your leg joke until i noticed he was handicap... 😖
Keep in mind that this is olympic standard where any drugs or steroid are not allowed at all, unlike the world record bench press event sponsored by vitamins producers that you can take anything as long as it fits your mouth.
You believe Olympians don't use drugs? :)
@@span218dood Was gonna say... I wonder if this guy HAS taken drugs or not.. It's not outside of the realm of possibility and if it's the competitive Olympics then I'd imagine it's more likely than not or else he by far has some of the greatest (at least upper body) strength genetics you could ever imagine.
Oh he's on a wheelchair I was like wtf?!
Heels weren't on the ground. Three red lights 🚨🚨🚨
DO I EVEN LIFT BRO
Wtf did I just watch. 3.36 times bw bench no leg drive, no huge arch.
what the ffffffffffff
I think he can do 500 lbs and lose 3 lbs to get the crazy title 145 weight bench monster 500 lbs
One single solitary moron doesn't like the fact that a paralympic athlete benches more than they do.
