Militia Bench Bill Crawford 765 Bench press

[1sowild]

@strangles500 i will send you a private message tough guy!

[ravingrats]

all respect to powerlifters, but every time i see them bench it looks retarded... their back is arched beyond belief, and as evident in this video, his range of motion is about 0, touching the highest point of his body as the bottom of his lift... meaning his abdominal. it went about 3 or 4 inches down to his puffed out abdominal, and back up. idk why there isnt some sort of rule to make them just bench without these ROM limiting tricks, theyre obviously strong as hell

[1sowild]

@faronsparker You "powerlifter's" and i use that term loosely... make me laugh! Walking up to the bench puffing your chest and screaming thinking your all tough because heavy metal music is blasting, then you lift the weight with a "special" shirt that assist in the lift! hahahaha That's a joke! The shirt is helping you! I guess i can say i move a tractor trailer if i start the engine and drive it! lol, You guys are silly men with a complex and premature ejac!

[1sowild]

@faronsparker i will be more than happy to meet you tough guy. What state are you in?

[1sowild]

@faronsparker Your a joke and i will hook up with your girlfriend! There, i just did talk trash to you! now what!?!

[1sowild]

Funny how once i offered to tankdelivers to test himself against me, he stopped responding,, who's the internet tough guy now?? Thought so!

[Fir3fly798]

Wow dude getting into an internet argument makes you an "internet tough guy," as well as a fool. Challenging someone to an impossible scenario doesn't defend the claims of being an "internet tough guy" any better.

[1sowild]

Well your prob just another powerlifting queer who has to stick up for your peer lifters! How is it an impossible scenario?? If he wants to go, we can meet at one of the MMA gyms in the capital area, and take it from there. Thats not impossible!

[Fir3fly798]

Wow you guys probably live in two different states so that's a lot of trouble just to go and fight someone over an internet conversation. People like you make me sad for where the human race is going to end up. I'm sure your gonna act like a tough guy over the internet because there's no consequence. You need a reality check little man. Plus why are you arguing with me still? Your plummeting what little dignity you have left by continuously continuing to reply to me.

[1sowild]

Oh, ok, so your a hippie liberal?? I am in NY, and i believe Tank is too. Are you in NY? Please tell me you are,, i would love to have you meet me at an MMA gym.

[Fir3fly798]

Stop talking to me your embarrassing yourself.

[1sowild]

What a comeback!!!!!!!!! hahahahahahahahahaha, you atarted this by sticking your nose in a conversation you had nothing to do with. Go hug a tree

[Fir3fly798]

Why did you even watch this if you were going to bad mouth the guy? You need to simmer down. You probably don't even practice martial arts or box or even work out for that matter. If you did you would be a lot more humble and you'd have a basic understanding of fighting etiquette. You probably sit at home and watch ufc and say "shit I can do that to anybody." This is quite sad.

[Fir3fly798]

Go find a muy thai instructor (check his statistics to make sure it's legit, and if he's truly a master he most likely won't be white) and let him teach you how to really fight. And if you do really live in the ny, then you will find that there is some amazing shodakun

[1sowild]

Tankdelivers?? Why do you reply to my message saying Bill is such a tough guy, bla bla bla,, i respond,, and now, no comeback? lol

[tankdelivers]

sorry man, but I dont spend all of my time ragging on people on the comment boards. So, you've seen bill throw a fit over a bad lift. Does that justify you saying he has a poor attitude? I know a BUNCH of so-called mma fighters who are trained in all that fancy shit. It means nothing when the fury rises. I speak from experience. besides. I can't speak for Bill too much, but I have NO doubts on his ability to WHOOP ASS. just so you know, You've been marked as an internet tough guy. LMAO

[1sowild]

Me the internet toughguy?? lmao,, YOUR the one who responded to MY comment saying i am jealous of him, he's a tough guy, whatever. Your the obvious internet tough guy! And btw, that bench pressing 800lb crap wont do any good if i have you in a choke hold cutting off the blood supply between your head and body,, or if i have your arm locked to the point of the joint snapping. Anyway, im not playing this tough guy who would win crap w/you, if you want to test yourself, let me know.

[live4liftin]

That a girl

[kingofcraig]

Err...Great!?

[1sowild]

Bill crawford has a poor attitude, and he acts so tough cause he is a powerlifter,, even a ligthweight mma fighter would give him a serious whooping and teach him respect!

[tankdelivers]

I hope you are joking. this man is an athelete just the same as an mma fighter. even more so today than when this video was made. He acts so tough because he's a tough guy. what are you, JEALOUS ? I personally think his attitude is that of anyone who hates MORONS who use no common sense. I cant wait to show him this post.

[1sowild]

I am NOT joking! He is a great powerlifter, yes, but i also saw him act like a crybaby and pout like a girl when Gean Rychlick put up 813 at a show in queensbury about 6 years ago, he cried so much, they took the lift away from Rychlick. Anyway, i am man enough to fess up to what i say, so show him what i wrote,, i live in NY!! If he has a problem with it, we can discuss it in person. I prob dont even have 1/3 the strength he does, however, i am a gracie jujitsu grappler, so let him bring it!

[RogerThat5891]

a little exaduration that yngwiebeckerrhoads01

a bench shirt does support you and does let you bench more, but it depends on the shirt and how much lockout power you have.. a bench shirt doesn't lockout the weight for you... and it doesn't add 300-400lbs instantly on your bench... those guys trained with their shirts and did board press' and a lot of other raw partial movements that emphasizes on shirt lifting... my best bench is 465 raw (without shirt) with a shirt after training I did 515

[redcav04]

i'd say powerlifting is alive and well. it certainly is no joke to me. To answer HOF56's question, a bench press shirt is usually a polyester or denim garment, with one or two layers sewn together, to form a shirt. The fabric in the chest panel stretches when the weight is brought toward the chest, when the weight is moved off the chest, the material in the chest panel springs back into its original position, creating a "spring" effect.

[ElPorteroBestia]

You're a fucking cunt idiot. First you say you can "bounce" weight off your chest with a bench shirt. Yeah, maybe if it's a fucking 62 or something. If you don't use one, then you have NO clue how they work, nor should you be running your fat mouth about shit you know NOTHING about.

There's raw lifting, then there's geared lifting. Pick one, and shut the fuck up about the other one and how people lift.

[54spiritedwill54]

Whats does raw mean?

[cshsfootball]

without a shirt that helps u bench.

[54spiritedwill54]

just curious.. how much can he bench raw?

[RogerThat5891]

probably anywhere between 450-550... it varies from powerlifter to powerlifter... ryan kennelly benches over 1000 with a shirt and does mid 600 raw

[jobeauregard]

ur right...then we had better take helmets away from football players...shin guards away from soccer players...and the motors out of race cars...its the same concept...its the evolution of the sport! dont be stupid and degrade a sport because of what it does!! if its not benching then you try to bench what he does in a bench shirt!! you cant! so stop taking his credit away from him in HIS SPORT!!!

[bandinopla]

"helmets away from football players" = Rugby

and... he is lowering the bar to short distance... i dont event think he is using his pectorals muscles...

-_-

[bandinopla]

sorry , but THAT IS NOT BENCHING u are only lowering the bar to your FAT BELLY, LOL

[LEEROYJEEEENKINS]

um for one you dumb fuck, its a style of benching, powerlifting is about getting the most weight you possibly can, its fucking smart you dumb shit... hard on the shoulders though, and about bench shirts, shut the fuck up, trying to talk shit bout people using bench shirts, are u for real? these guys would whip your asses, these are the strongest people in the world, so go back to your nascar fag

[chiefwr88]

about you guys that are for bench shirts, i have seen a video where a guy is benching and he gets it up and just has to lock it out and his beench shirt breakes and the weight comes falling down, so much for just helping of the chest

[ElPorteroBestia]

See, you're fucking retarded. That statement proves it right there.

Bench shirts don't "break". First of all, you're an idiot for spelling "break" wrong. Secondly, it's not a piece of wood, moron- It's polyester. So please, enlighten me- How can polyester "break"?

Exactly- you're mentally handicapped. Congrats to you.

[wvjon75]

To put things into perspective with the shirts; yeah they help a lot out of the bottom but you have to have some serious triceps stregth to finish the lift. I know Brian Siders and about five years ago when his competion max was around 700 with a shirt, I spotted him on a very smooth powerful and easy looking set of 5 reps with 455 on the incline press and I'm sure he could've done a few with 500 that day.

[mdoob11]

raw just means you don't have one of those shirts on, the shirts are special and help lift... anybody who can do like over 700 lb bench is wearing one of these shirts, raw maxes never really are more than 700, usually like 400 and less

[abcmusic]

lmao, 400 or less? Not true, and never exceed 700? Scot Mendelson holds the World Record RAW Bench at 715. A lot of people usually "peak-out" at about 710, I have seen quite a few at 710, "peaked-out". A HUGE ammount at 405 and more. So, that statement is not true at all, RAW for me is at 475. With a Bench shirt it's at 625.

[min0lee]

I know a guy at Ironmagazine com that can lift that much..

[superericman]

his arms are too short, he barely did anything

[omenica]

raw or not its still incredible, i like raw better, but the fact still stands these guys are pushing crazy weights

[lhslinebacker]

shit tat guys a fuckin beast and what song is that

[sic33]

raw lifts are ones that dont use any powerlifting equipment like bench shirts, deadlift suits, squat suits, belts, etc.

raw lifts are impressive but people also seem to think that if you put on a bench shirt you can automatically bench 500 pounds, what you dont realize is these people are still locking out all that weight. The shirt only helps get it off the chest, the rest is all them. Same goes with deadlift and squat suits.

[babyherc]

Impressive but damn dude can you lift your a#! any higher off the bench?

[fdovert]

His ass wasnt off the bench. In fact you probably shouldnt comment on things you know jack shit about and stick to your Weider Muscle and Fitness approach to exercise technique. Bill Crawford is one of the premier bench pressers in the world and his "powerlifting" form is one of the best in the world (as well as legal in the federation he lifts in.

[Tzis84]

whats the difference?

[FatalPromise1]

Whats does raw mean?

[escaladepimpin]

Whats raw mean? Does that mean when you go down like really slow?

[gottspieler]

raw benches are more impressive imo

[shogun1]

? i didn't see him move the bar lol that was gay.

[ajonhb]

just curious.. how much can he bench raw?

[koolkid98]

the guys chest is huge
