why can't he do a real bench press, is he crippled or mentally ill?

What does this weight count as? 40% of a real lift?

>not doing neck powered bench press for them neck gains

You realise the weight is racked?

Lmao

Kekd, even google knows its fucked

are people just pretending to be retarded? he's just doing his weird "pre lift" ritual thing, you should see the one he did before a deadlift a while back looks absurd.

anyway heres how he really lifts youtube.com/watch?v=GJit9ToHJj0

inb4 back still too arched. ye no shit dummy it's the safest position for your shoulders to be in to lift a ton of weight

post body lard

That guy benches almost 5pl8 in competition OP, post your bench

>heels not down
>feet on bench
>glutes 3 feet in the air
Is this bait? Or do you dumb cunts not realise he’s only setting up his arch and not actually ready to press?

Literally can't do the lift without someone passing him the bar

It’s funny how people don’t realize that the guy lifts around 10-15 kg less than his arched max while being flat on the bench.f
Fucking retards lmao

95% of a real lift

Jow Forums is full of GDEs who don’t try hard, 90% of whom can’t even bench 2plate for a single, of course they won’t realise.

That's just how they bench press in Britain. I think it has something to do with the metric system.

youtube.com/watch?v=xUmw3fvMU9o

PL benchpress is a travesty

This is ridiculous. There needs to be some kind of rule that your arms have to go past at least 90 degrees like on a squat or something. This isn't a fucking bench press.

Yeah, with half the ROM normal people bench press. This is why powerlifting is a garage sport and will never be in the Olympics.

you fucking mongs

When will the britbongs learn

I did read that. It's still stupid, you fat sack of shit. Your "sport" is a joke. It's for people who don't have the genetics to be bodybuilders, weightlifters, or strongmen.

these ppl arch/sumo themselves into some random world record for some weight class in a division no one cares about just to build enough cred to rip young kids off with their "coaching"

>bodybuilders
Roidaroos
>weightlifters
Literally pointless unless you start from child
>strongmen
Also roidaroos

>Roidaroos
>Also roidaroos
Pro tip: high level powerlifters are "roidaroos" too. I know a guy in the IPF who's on 4 grams of test alone. He took 2nd last year in an international IPF championship.

>Literally pointless unless you start from child
Cope.

Can't go 90 degrees if you have bUILT your ches up enoguh

>not doing neckbreaks to warmup for bench
Never gonna make it

No, you can't go past 90 degrees if you're arching. My chest is big enough that it sticks out a good 5-6 inches and I can easily go past 90 degrees.

this is how fit taught me to bench?

should i do just a light arch or flatback bench??

>should i do just a light arch or flatback bench??

If you want actual gains, yes. If you want to be a strength "athlete" no.

That's how you should bench

>It’s funny how people don’t realize that the guy lifts around 10-15 kg less than his arched max while being flat on the bench.f
This. I've been following this guy for a while and he is incredibly strong in general.

Yeah, bro. Reduce the range of motion as much as possible. That will give you the most chest development!

>he can bench 5plates but he doesn’t have any gains breh! I could do it with that arch

I bet you do cable flies you fucking faggot

From the rack to the belly button, this is good form.

He can't. He can half rep it.

t. Sub-2plate bencher

He can bench 4.5 plates at 83kg without an arch. Nobody else can do that.

>Jow Forums proves again that 90% of anons here are just pathetic dyel weakling copers
color me surprised

Bench is in the special olympics LOL

Theres a dilemma with the competitive bench press. Since you have to tense your body and arch in order to protect your shoulders, plus this gives more power to the lift. Thus requiring the athletes to lay flat on the bench would not be possible as this is not the correct form. Now the problem is that the arch is required, but theres nothing to limit the amount of arch you can have. This is why comparing bench presses sucks. But since every competitor does it, you have to do it aswell. It's fucking ridiculous

Try 190kg with a flat back.

That's great, it really is. But it's not a 5plate bench.

Combat Sports > Powershitting, Crosshit, Weightshitting and bodyshitting

Post bench

>Since you have to tense your body and arch in order to protect your shoulders, plus this gives more power to the lift

This is total horse shit. It's something powermanlets made up to justify their cheating. You'll never see a strongman or a bodybuilder bench press like that.

And not a single bench press was done.

Enjoy your CTE bro
Strongmen don’t train for a competitive bench, if they did they’d do this too, and who gives a fuck what bodybuilders do lmao

>They lay down flat.
Ok.
>Immediately arch up like a fucking cat that got spooked.
Fucking hell, every damn time. It's funny but it's also infuriating.

Do strongmen really not use an arch at all?

I thought the most basic arch was basically just so mirror the curvature of the spine

nice larp copefag

No, strongmen do not fucking arch. Why? Because they're not cheating pussies like powerlifters.
>youtube.com/watch?v=ERTmBhgd_Qk

Strongmen are usually >140kg and have limited mobility, which is also why extreme arches are something you usually see in lighter weightclasses.

Bodybuilders are usually always on cycle and they don't care about maxing the weight they lift while being a certain class as much as getting a pump. Also, 99% of bodybuilders develop serious posture and shoulder issues within like 5 years of training.

While I agree that aesthetically an extreme arch during bench is very unpleasing to say the least and makes it hard to appreciate the lift, that's just the most efficient way to do it.

>Strongmen are usually >140kg and have limited mobility, which is also why extreme arches are something you usually see in lighter weightclasses.
Excuses.

>Bodybuilders are usually always on cycle
If you unironically think Owen is natty you are retarded.
>Also, 99% of bodybuilders develop serious posture and shoulder issues within like 5 years of training.
And this is just nonsense. I know plenty of competing bodybuilders in their 40s and 50s who are fine. These guys used to rep 4plate on the bench in their youth for 7-8 reps without extreme arching.

>While I agree that aesthetically an extreme arch during bench is very unpleasing to say the least and makes it hard to appreciate the lift, that's just the most efficient way to do it
It's not about the aesthetic, it's literal cheating. You are halving the range of motion.

You don't have to do an extreme arch if you don't compete but a moderate arch is best for everyone

No, it's not. There's a reason only 5'7 powermidgets do it.

>Being this delusional

>literal cheating
It follows the letter rather than the spirit of the rules but there's not a whole lot you can do about it. There's no easy way for a judge to tell if a back arch is too much.

Are you the same fag who always posts in /plg/ complaining about our sport? Did you get tired of being btfo in there so you try and appeal to the retards who don't know anything about it?

Probably just a beginner who thinks his gym's PT knows anything about lifting because he can bench 80kg flat

Fuck me man, you're deluded.

>Excuses.

I wonder why we don't see 140kg gymnasts or rock climbers.

>If you unironically think Owen is natty you are retarded.

I didn't say he's natty, I'm pretty sure that top3 of most categories are on gear at some stage of their training, infact the rest of the group usually trails quite far behind in PRs and totals, but not all those who go to IPF worlds are on gear and I know that for a fact, knowing personally and having trained with atleast 2 guys who went.
Meanwhile, any cunt who gets his IFBB pro card is on gear and even in most "natty" shows the winners are (just watch Jeff Nippards shows when he follows his asian friend and meats that 20y/o black guy outside the venue).

>These guys used to rep 4plate on the bench in their youth for 7-8 reps without extreme arching.

Bodybuilders don't do pause reps, don't use full rom and are not working to max a lift within a certain weight limit. During training season they're most likely 30-50lbs/15-25kg heavier than their contest day.

>It's not about the aesthetic, it's literal cheating. You are halving the range of motion.

So if a guy genetically has a barrel chest or short af arms he's cheating, right? He's reducing the range of motion.

If your heels are touching the floor, if your ass is on the bench, if your shoulders are on the bench and if your head is on the bench and you respect the referees calls then you're good. That's just how it is.

I don't see anyone complaining about strongmens deadlifts being shit because they use a suit and straps all the time. It's within the rules of their sport, if you don't like rules of such sport change sport or change federation.

>arch is for fucking cheating manlets proper lifters do full rom
>I’m not a dyel I have an internationally competitive bench, no video or comp results tho LOL

Why are you so obsessed with a sport you don't even compete in, and has no effect on you whatsoever?

I like powerlifting and have no problem with arches breh, if I was able to twist myself into a pretzel for a few extra Kg I would.

>I wonder why we don't see 140kg gymnasts or rock climbers.
A ridiculous comparison.

>but not all those who go to IPF worlds are on gear
Lmao. Just lmao user. Every IPF guy I know is on gear.

>Bodybuilders don't do pause reps, don't use full rom and are not working to max a lift within a certain weight limit
This is such fucking cope. Not every bodybuilder is a caricature straight from a Jason Blaha video. Especially the guys from the older generations.

>During training season they're most likely 30-50lbs/15-25kg heavier than their contest day.
So? Nobody cares about relative strength. Absolute strength is all that matters.

>So if a guy genetically has a barrel chest or short af arms he's cheating, right?
No, because he's not doing it actively. It's how he was born.

>
If your heels are touching the floor, if your ass is on the bench, if your shoulders are on the bench and if your head is on the bench and you respect the referees calls then you're good. That's just how it is.
Yeah, because the rules allow for it. The IPF are so strich on squat depth, yet they allow this kind of nonsense. It's absurd.

>I don't see anyone complaining about strongmens deadlifts being shit because they use a suit and straps all the time
Then you clearly haven't listened to enough powerlifters because they whine about it all the time.

If you're talking about me, my 190kg bench is not internationally competitive bench because I am well over 100kg. Guys in my weight class bench 220+.

He hasn't even unracked the weight yet you bunch of retards.

He larsen pressed 180kg recently, flat back legs up. So he probably gets close to 200kg with a normal amount of arch and feet down.

they'll find a way to cheat on squats only a matter of time

Hows that 2 plate bench treating you/

They already do. It's called a sumo/wide stance low bar squat.

> He doesn't rassle or grabble

Pussy larping to be stronk like teh vikingz but can't fight

Not him but a flat back 2plate bench is better than a contorted 3plate bench with a 4 inch ROM.

t. 2plate highbar squatter

Nah, I low bar squat 550, but at least I don't use a bullshit wide stance.
