How is this even physically possible?

very wholesome video.

>Guys what is trenght training?
I only pay attention to 300lb bloat maxers benching 315lbs. You need to be big to be strong.
You are people so stupid?

Very impressive!

how do they do this when they dont look like they even lift

>this amount of cope
I only saw one or two bounces, he could pause more but even then hes not relying on momentum, he's pressing pretty slow. Its seriously impressive for his weight.

The touch and go is enough for gym PRs.
I'm impressed at his lack of arching.
He can bench even more if he set up like a powerbloater.
Oh and I can actually bench 4pl8s so I actually know what I'm talking about.

while your statements on his lift are right, no, its not a thing anyone can do, just mass =/= strenght as we all should know, add some cheating like you said and a normal looking person with some strength training can lift that.

Only trains bench and genetic freak. Thats how.

yeah but u weigh 415lbs

Based lanciafag. What are your other lifts? What are your lifetime goals for said lifts?

Axle bar for bench is highly redpilled

>u weigh 415lbs
Yeah I'm totally the size of peak Eddie Hall, huh?
I fucking wish.

My other lifts suck besides OHP which is 255lbs.
Best squat was 365lbs and best diddle was 455lbs.
Lifetime goals would be:
>500lb bench
>3pl8 strict press
Don't care much for squat and deadlift, if they can be over 4pl8 for squat and 5pl8 for diddle then I'm happy.

It's the best way in my opinion.
You can't even think about failing.

I like it a lot, feels good in my hands.
The tricky part is that there's no rings or knurling so you don't know exactly where to put your hands.
Definitely a bench for advanced lifters.

Are axle bars the fat ones? I can't even grip them properly(handlet)

Yes.
Sorry, it's not for handlets.

his bench would get 3 red lights. Its basically cheating. His lifts are absolutely beginner tier

Pretty sure it's genetics, asians are naturally lithe.

Short arms + strong frame help immensely

coping this hard

SIZE=/=STRENGTH

Oh so I was right?
Lmao.
Why don't you do a 225lb touch and go bench before you open your big mouth.

All he does is bench press following Smolov

>benching your bodyweight is impressive

Fuck outta here fatass an hero yourself

Well at least I can cope by having better squat and deadlifts. Your upper body lifts are great though.

Thanks.
we pick and choose our battles.

lmao. you dont even know what you are talking about do you? I did all of what you were saying back in middle school, i dont need to prove anything here. Just admit you are weak as well as the guy in OP's video

You did not understand his post.

>4pl8 bench at 160 lbs is weak.
Your troll is not even close to convincing.

Big oof.

Until you do and internally decapitate yourself

I'm not dead yet, and I stopped getting spots after clearing 3pl8s.
The way I bench, the bar would land back onto my chest.

he died BTW.

Okay user, keep staring at your little 13" noodles and telling yourself you have nothing to prove to anonymous internet strangers who bench twice as much as you.
I'll keep increasing my bench and posting it here while you seethe at my progress.

imagine being both this weak and insecure

My best bench was with an axle bar that was heavier than that and I'm fine.
If anything, the smooth, thicker axle bar is even more prone to slipping than a conventional olympic bar.
Maybe he missed his cue about bending the bar so his grip wasn't where it was supposed to be.

just worried about you bro

This guy has literal titties unflexed. It should also be mentioned that he doesn't do anything besides benching, besides a bit of deadlifting. If the rest of his body was as proportionately as developed as his chest, he'd be at least 180 pounds.

Imagine being proud of a sub2pl8 paused bench and thinking that makes you better than 4pl8+ TnG Chads.
You're the same kind of shitter who'd see Eric Spoto doing his Spoto press with 5pl8s and screech that he'd done zero reps because the bar never touched his chest, yet run the fuck away when he benches over 700lbs in competition.
Get fucked.

Attached: top kek.jpg (609x607, 125K)

I'm not.
Also I don't have a choice.
Maybe when I get a home gym I can start benching in the safety of my rack but until then I'm benching like I always do.

>anyone could do a 4 plate bench like he does
post. bench.

>I did all of what you were saying back in middle school
*crack* siiiiiip
ah
...BACK IN MY DAYS BEFORE I INJURED MY BACK

Just to add in some background info, the guy in OPs pic can easily and I mean for reps pause bench 3 pl8.

nice bro

How can one community be this toxic

If someone here actually wants to improve their life then get out of here

I know, because I can easily do it too.
Five wouldn't be too hard.
Seven to eight would be though.

Fuck off britbong

They can see things no mortal can see with that powder!

>Spotter
>no safeties
I can't believe gyms are allowed to use these shit benches.

I've never seen a commercial gym have their bench platforms have safeties.
Hell, benches used in powerlifting competitions rarely have safeties.

Do toddler lifts until failure x 100 and you get there

Holy shit I'm so fucking frustrated
All my other lifts are good and growing as I eat above 150lb more but my fucking bench has seem absolutely no progress. Bench is stuck at 155lb and squat is 245lb and growing by the week.

He did pause with near 4 plate I think so it's alright

>anime girl poster

10 hours and still no 5pl8 bench vid
you should start squatting and deadlifting, and theres nothing advanced about an axel bench
press it or die. Its how you get stronger

Those plates probably weigh about 30lbs a piece.

I'll squat when my gym gets a SSB, I'll neglect it til then.
As for diddles, I have no excuse.
I need to get those over 5pl8s before my bench overtakes that too.
>theres nothing advanced about an axel bench
Like I said, finding the right hand position is not something a newbie or even intermediate should do.
They'd be too inconsistent, even if they're only off by a few millimeters.
Though you could cheat and leave some markings on the bar itself for reference but then you'd be a huge bitch.
Half the fun is having one side a tiny bit heavier but finishing the set anyways.

Literally everything you type is stupid and wrong.

cope

for beginner and intermediate lifters, the hand placement is not as big of a concern. they could swich dozens of times till they find the grip that works best for their levers and bench style. even top benchers experiment with different grip widths. the only peice that matters is balance, which you mention, but there should be some reference point to start from on the bar. if theres not, its not a very good axel.
You dont need a safety squat bar to squat. learn lowbar and be done with it, theres no reason you shouldn't be able to do that. theres not really an excuse for that either.

You (You) the wrong person or something?

>there should be some reference point to start from on the bar. if theres not, its not a very good axel.
My gym doesn't have good axles then.
Though like I said, it's half the fun.
>learn lowbar and be done with it
I'm not gay though.
I haven't squatted seriously in years but I always squatted high bar.
Like I said I don't care much for it, if I focused on it it would be because I wanted to work on a big push press so I'd do back squats and front squats as accessories.

>lazy

>lowbar is gay
this coming from a upperbody only fag thats still under 5pl8s even though its all you do.

You seriously disparaging me for not benching 5pl8s?
That's a world class lift for even my weight.
Where's your 6pl8 skwat?
Your 7pl8 deadlift?
Yeah thought so.

Attached: 1490753038242.jpg (780x840, 205K)

Which one you want first?
315 x2 strict press, 725 deadlift, 705 wrapped squat, or 540 paused bench?
deadlift is the priority right now, but i might make bench it to go to 6pl8.

Gimme 540 paused bench.

Great, I've come across the only poster on Jow Forums with a monster bench.
I'm eating my words.
How long did it take you to do that from 4pl8s?

ive beenched 500 for the first time when i was 19 summer between school, so about a year i think. thats awhile ago though so cant be certain how long. Various life choices, eg. going to school at a military college, (usma) hasnt kept strength levels consistent, and i started training oly so i stopped caring about bench for a while (3 years). It went from 450ish at 265 to 540 at 300ish in abit more than half of this year, but i cant really use that as a bench mark for you since theres a base there that just needes to be trained back to bench. im 6'4 so the 308 powerlifting class is where ill be sitting. biggest concern is deadlift and squat right now, because their lagging behind uspa international standards right now. looking for 800 diddy, but going is slow.

get a slingshot for overload work and do dedicated back work too. Check how Josh Bryant has maddox and Strickland train backband and try that if your not already

You stay in /plg/ all the time or something?
I've never seen a guy with your numbers post out in the wild like this.

>Check how Josh Bryant has maddox and Strickland train backband and try that if your not already
Thanks, and yes I have a slingshot.

His power comes from having a loving wife and children.

Could be that a loving wife and children actually gives you a big bench? Would explain all the boomers benching all the time. Could also explain why I'll never bench like that. Deadlifts for the lonely.

i post there regularly enough. i generally just try and post advice on random threads, and if someone doesn't want to take it seriously, then whateves, until they ask for lifts. therea some other strong guys there, a couple atleast doing 405 around the 100kg class
>backband
fucking keyboard swipe. just back

100 pushups and 100 situps at 5 times gravity.
