Hoping to get back into lifting this summer, will post more of that content when I do. Took the previous semester off, but looking forward to getting back to this point and hopefully a little further! Id love to eventually join the 500lb bench club but thats likely going to take me awhile.
Yeah, I am getting back into working out after taking a semester off. Would love to get back to this point and do it closer to competition standard, this was for sure bouncy + my dad didnt let go quick on the descent. 424.4lb is my competition pr, so not too far off tho
Don't want to sound like a "hater" or anything, but judging by his form he looks like he picked up the barbell for the first time in his life. If that is the real weight we can expect 450 kg bench press from this guy in a year or two.
@@theprofessional438 anything in particular about the form I should be looking to improve? I've never looked into too many of the specifics and would be glad to hear what others have to say
@@Joshua_B I am no expert either, but I can see that you didn't pack your shoulders, you are laying flat on the beach with no arc, you went immediately straight down with the barbell without taking a breath and bracing your core and your legs are just dangling out there, you have no leg drive whatsoever. And because of all that you are in a very unstable and compromised position. But you lifted 204 kg anyway??? I am very sceptical to say the least.
@@theprofessional438 My basic idea for legs is just to force my traps into the bench as much as possible during the entire rep, which I set-up before the video starts. I haven't been able to figure out leg drive even though a few friends IRL have mentioned it, it just has never clicked for me. During set-up of the bench I do make sure my shoulder blades are pinched together as much as possible, and I also get a small arc. Nothing egregious, but it is there. Probably easier to see in this short - ruclips.net/user/shortsJsqcba25gxk For skepticism, here is me doing 424lbs in comp (and also includes how I set-up every time, which I normally edit out of short vids) ruclips.net/video/GfloM3K989A/видео.html Of course, everyone I know at the gym also says I have bad form (mainly around the absence of leg drive, and not staying "tight" or whatever that means.) If possible, send some videos that you think might be good to watch on that
There is a slight bend in the bar. How much are you expecting it to bend? If you want, you can check my channel and see I did 424.4lb in competition well before this as well. Here is the short - ruclips.net/user/shortsPKSsTQqVKPs
@@Joshua_B it must be deceptive lighting or your wearing baggy clothes with alot of body fat , if your benching 200kg you should look huge, I'm benching 150kg and I look way bigger
@@BryanK-y5y I weighed like 300lbs in this video so its only 1.5x bw haha. Ive lost some weight now, my goal is to focus on cardio but maintain a 405lb bench. Would love a 2x bw bench but that aint happening weighin 300
i call bs. spotter held the weight almost the entire way down and you did that with no arch or leg drive even larry wheels needs atleast an arch to hit that
@@ibrahim_-_-_ I do a lot of bench. The only program I've used Candito bench program (should be free online) and I've done it twice now and it has worked well. I was already benching 405lb (touch and go) before ever using an actual program by just doing 5x5s and constantly pushing myself. Mindset also plays a huge role. I try to do the same thing every time: Go to the water fountain and have a splash of water, listen to the same song, get into the same thought patterns, and then walk back to the bar. Though sometimes doubt creeps in, that can also help. Fear of catastrophic failure can give you the adrenaline you need.
@@ibrahim_-_-_ If I was doing something like 365 for a 5x5 I would have warm-up sets @ 45/135/225/315 for example, and then try for 5x5 at 365. Every time I was able to actually do the entire 5x5 I would go up 10lbs. So that means most days I was failing on the last 1-3 sets and not actually getting all 5 reps in.
I am actually amazed. Upon first impressions, you look nothing like a lifter at all. Your muscles arent swole either, you are just big. You are so deceptive it is crazy. You have scary strength and you use absolutely zero leg drive and what looks like no bracing either, as well as being completely raw. This video appeared on my feed and i thought you were going to fail the lift initially. Damn brother, you are exceptional, awesome stuff.
this hit my recommended page, good job :D
Bars bending, idk how someone could call this fake weights. Insane job
The weights jiggle like jello. Also there's more bend to a bar with 275 on it than this.
@@jabbadabba1978 ruclips.net/video/GfloM3K989A/видео.htmlsi=MeB3Za-C5xaItuIT same guy doing 424 in comp a year ago
@@jabbadabba1978 ur bars just cheap asf lmao a bar dont bend with 275
@carlazuz244 lmao you're just weak and have never put actual weight on a bar honey.
@carlazuz244 yeah it does. You're just not strong enough to know that.
Nice work brother, to the people saying its fake, it could be such as anything online but this bloke looks as legit as it gets.
Holy shit this is insane man, amazing job!!
Crazy strong!
Good job dude, that's 45lbs over my heaviest deadlift so far, hopefully I'll get to your level someday.
one day brother!
Amazing work man.
Touch and Go PR :D
Insane lift bro🤯
basketball shoes while lifting weird, good shit man
Dude ur strong af, hope i can hit this soon
whaaat bro you're cracked
He’s actually benching 455 not 450 so it’s even more impressive
Broooo crazyyyy
Can you post more? :D Good job!

oh-kay
just wow
550 kg press eleiko 👍
My god
Bounce rep

Sleep 1 x 136kg
Fake ..if it was real the bar would slightly bend once it bounces off dudes chest

@@senorsteves8870 Well If that is the case we are looking at the next bench press record holder.

Even soft deadlift bars don't bend at 225 what are you talking about
Never in a million years could someone that thin lift 200kg impossible nice fake weights btw
How much do you think I weighed in this video?

@@Joshua_B that's why your holding way too much fat how tall are you
@@BryanK-y5ylmao what, im 6'5''. It is slightly weird to say "someone that thin" and then "holding way too much fat." Each person is different

even larry wheels needs atleast an arch to hit that
You can watch my 424lb bench in competition last year to see I dont need the arch haha
@@Joshua_B forgive me for speaking too soon, i saw the video and it does seem to be in competition
any tips on how you got such a strong bench?

or are some from the 5 total sets also warm up sets?

fake weight no way this dude lifts this with no arch no leg drive lmao
one day I'll figure out how to use leg drive! BTW one of the top shorts on this channel is me doing 424lbs in competition (also no arch/leg drive lol)
