No matter how much I seen his videos, I'm still in awe . People who don't lift don't realize how special this is. Him throwing around 325 like it's nothing is insane
If I saw a guy his size putting this many plates on the bench at the gym I’d stay close just to help him when he inevitably fails. Would be shocked to see him succeed :D.
@@robertwilliams5618 Just saw that vid then jumped to this one expecting him to be an absolute monster. Sorry, an EVEN bigger monster than he already is. Not downplaying this feat of strength at all it was just unexpected.
You're an inspiration man, and not just in weightlifting but as a man. I grew up without a father and seeing someone who cares so much about their family really warms in my heart. You make me want to be a better person.
Your videos motivate me to gym again. I haven’t been going Bc I’ve been busy with school and clinicals but every time I watch your vids I go to the gym.
Hi Long, I was wondering if there are some benchers on RUclips that inspire you (the same way you inspire us ;) ). Maybe guys with your BW who lift heavy? Great video as always, I am running your program at the moment, can't wait to test my new 1RM!
Hi! I really don’t follow this industry so I can’t name anyone, but I can tell you that I am inspired just seeing everyday people put forth the effort at the gym. That motivates me to push harder! Seeing my gym community (workout partners and random gym goers at my gym) hit new PRs reallllly motivates and inspires me to keep at it. Looking forward to hearing your results!
Best routine/excercises to prevent shoulder/pec injuries (for bench) ?? I've been stuck at 225 for a while but this summer did chest monday/thursday and was able to hit 275 a couple weeks ago until I got the typical shoulder pain which doesn't seem to go away even with rest/ stretching, and no usage.
do you know why your shoulders hurt? Mine hurt when i do too many reps and they get hot. inflammation. I take an aleve and it goes away. If you do not know WHY they hurt it is hard to to make the pain go away. I go 3 times a week, with a very similar program as Long. I do a 315 paused. and i am almost 60. that is WHY my shoulders hurt. If your shoulders are bad mechanically, i have no advice, not a doctor, maybe change the grip width. if it is your muscles, stop when it hurts. working out does not hurt. never.
Could be rotator cuff impingement. Id get them whenever i would starting benching more frequently just from overuse so I would actually do a lot of rear delt flys mainly with cables and bands to help strengthen the delt and it stopped any pain that I would get in the shoulder.
Love all your videos Long! keep doing what you do man, appreciate your kindness you spread for your family & everyone . You inspire us all to do better and be better 🙏🏻😇
I wonder how much you could increase your numbers by if you went full powerlifter with your bench technique. You could probably pull 400+ more regularly if you widened your grip a bit and really zoned in on a good arch. It's so freaking impressive how much you bench with a relatively flat back and humble grip width. Not to mention on a commercial gym bench.
Hey Long, did you do any bench press during your shoulder injury?.. I’m currently going through a right shoulder injury myself, and can’t really do much in terms of lifting weights.
It depends on you man. When I don’t get injured much anymore but really lowering the weight for pushing movements and focusing on stretching as well as form when getting back into it is a recipe for long term strength gains
The bench at your gym is so hard to stay stable on. I go to a gym with one like that and I can’t do as much because my upper back goes into the crack and it’s newer so the material is very slippery. Do you notice this too?
6:00 *I liked how Mario also integrates a long pause at 375.* *I tried (and failed) pausing with 95 lbs.* *95x5 w/ 5 second pause on the 5th.* *If I didn’t have a spotter, I would’ve been stuck there. Haha*
Hi Long, recently started your programme and am nearing the test day. I was wondering what your test day consists of for the best results for the next cycle of the program.
This works for strength which makes no sense cause it doesn’t work for size…I was benching like this and was getting stronger moving up 5lb on bench every week or 2 but my chest wasn’t growing
Would be nice to watch a full day of eating video bro, why don't you make a full day of eating video ??? I'm curious to know what kind of meal you eat before and after your workout bro because I also want to be strong like you man
It would be the most random thing you’ve ever seen. I just eat normal food. I don’t measure anything out or anything. Ie, yesterday I had Panera bread sausage/egg/Asiago bagel and cheese sandwich for breakfast. I had a small bowl of beef stew for lunch and wings for dinner. We also had cinnamon swirls with ice cream for dessert. Today, I will make a bacon/spinach omelette for breakfast. Not sure about lunch or dinner yet.
Lol “kick him out” a bit rude of you. He’s fine. I just didn’t necessarily like when he was trying to compare Long to Mario but I liked that Long seemed to realize he didn’t like where the convo was going and clarified what he was trynna say. Like he only mentioned it as praise and to point out how it motivated him and not out of insecurity or to compare himself.
to be in the olympic is not bench press, you need your whole body to jump with the weight total different mobility, start with the jumping squat or build a strong squat lots of mobility

And the fact that he pauses the 375 and it goes up that smooth is ridiculous
@@franciscogutierrez3621 he did 410 almost a decade ago
and he did it completely RAW, no wrist wrap, elbow sleeves etc., none of them. Crazy strength

two men benching over 315 side by side in the same gym , rare sight to see.

You've done it Long, family, fitness, fishing, truly beautiful, thank you for sharing with us
I really like the family activities yall do. Seems like yall have a very very strong family bond.
I agree 100%
The secret to a strong bench is being a great dad ;D.

are you a nursing student by any chance? or a med student?

You humble pie. I love you so much. You and your fam are lovely, lovely, lovely.

i enjoyed you adding the accessory work as well hope it makes a return
It’s crazy how you benched 410 once and you weighed more but you look bigger right now
Good to have you back Long

Inspiring. Were you always strong at bench or did you work like a "Benching everday for a year" type thing? Kepp it up :)
My wife keep telling me super saiyans dont exists, i showed her this video now she's a believer
Cant wait to see you hit that 410 again 💪🏻🔥💪🏻

He’s got a program online for free

Hi, typically not unless my body allows it 95% pain free.
VIET STRONG!
Salute 🔥 💯
Dang nice lookin scallops, must have tasted great!
UFpwrLifter is starting to peak again. 5 second pause with 375lbs on your chest? Nuts.
How many calories do you consumes per day? Im guessing around 2500?
No clue sorry have never tracked so couldn’t even estimate if I wanted to.
This guy lifting so much more then his body weight mean while I'm 117 and struggling to get passed 155 😂 need tips to get my bench up
155 is my max

Where can i find your schedule and routines tho? I want to try something different and you looked amazing

I notice it being slippery which works for me with my slide. I’m just so used to it now I guess.
I think Ive been here for all of Longs kids and nephews birthdays
375 long pause …🤯
Long 😉😉😉 pause
@@DanielGempesaw 🤣
6:00 *I liked how Mario also integrates a long pause at 375.* *I tried (and failed) pausing with 95 lbs.* *95x5 w/ 5 second pause on the 5th.* *If I didn’t have a spotter, I would’ve been stuck there. Haha*
Part of the grind is getting stuck tbh. I always used to say the fear of death makes me stronger lol.
Carryover exercises and extremely light plates are king. Chains too. For plateus.
I’m glad you had a spotter! Def recommend starting with shorter pauses until you get a better feel for them.
🤟💪...
Hey Long, I'd be very interested in your program, where can I find it?
ruclips.net/video/tsX-ShMsP9s/видео.html
Hi Long, recently started your programme and am nearing the test day. I was wondering what your test day consists of for the best results for the next cycle of the program.
Where can you find his program I would like to try it
Hi Renz, I typically do normal warm up sets then 80%x3, 85%x1, 90%x1, 95%x1, 100%x1. Depending how the 100% goes, I will add 5-10lb total to try that.
@@UFpwrLifter Thanks very much, your programme is doing wonders.
This works for strength which makes no sense cause it doesn’t work for size…I was benching like this and was getting stronger moving up 5lb on bench every week or 2 but my chest wasn’t growing
Size will come in time
His body and joints were born to bench. Are you this strong in deadlift and squats as well?
Maybe if I put the same effort into those lifts.
Soon it will be 410+ bench
So 3 days a week bench is it just every other day?
MWF
How you know Mario is a good person? he could be a bad person xD
You’re right, I just got a really good vibe from him.
Why do you only record your benching and no other exercises?
I don’t do much else tbh
if you not good at bench press, that is good olympics lifts
What’s with the old guy trying to spot you
Nick is my guy. Good friend, great spotter and unreal strength!
Nice long pause
Kinda hard to hear with the kids in the background
💪💪👍👍🇵🇱🇵🇱

He doesn’t eat many different things. No protein powder etc. he’s talked about in his videos before. It’s his routine that helps I think.
