when I say very good that is genuine beast mode.

[IrishMarc1]

lmao slingshot and armwraps. Still very good lift but there are much stronger benchers at his weight.

[Highflytuber]

@moneymanT2k10 He is NOT wearing a bench shirt he is using a ram. A ram definately wont let you add hundreds of pounds to your bench. Yusuf only weighs 85kg and so for him to go this much weight is very very good.

[moneymanT2k10]

thats not a raw bench its a heavy weight but if your using them shirts guys do a 1000lb plus with them so not that impressive. theres a guy on youtube doing 1074lb which is 488kg and even the world record for raw bench press is 715lb and thats still more weight than this so this guy is deffernetly not one of the strongest bench presser

[tiiihoo]

His Spotter is a Ku Klux Klan member what would happen if he couldn't hit it?

[cuweights]

Ok ryan celli and dennis cieri both compete in the 198lb class dennis cieri holds the world record for raw benchpress drug free at 535lbs. So basically these two guys alone can lift 25lb-30lbs heavier than that pause it at there chest and press that shit up with no ram helping them lift it. You asked now you know

[ah8425]

Maashallah, this is the most impressive lift of the event i think.

[ARMFlGHT]

Not raw man but still impressive.

[SandersKing]

Very good lift but that is not really raw bench press. I bench 441 at 176 BW but totally raw.

[muzimuzi]

thats shit strong but if u wanna look u can look for Joe mazza's record of 490 or so RAW at only 165 (thats two divisions under this guy) without ANY asistance gear, legit world record (i belive so) with a pause on the bench , this guy is strong as hell but not world-record strong and not legit inuff

[MrHarvieb]

its only impressive if it follows a standard, the amount of leg drive he is getting off the bench with his bum off the bench basically means he could have squatted it off the bench...

[Highflytuber]

@MrHarvieb If you havent already realised, this isnt the IPF powerlifting competition. The rules of this competition were that the weight must touch your chest area and you must lock your arms out at the end of the lift. If both criteria are met, it is deemed a successful lift. This is why you will see head and lower backs coming off the bench. If your such an expert, come to the heartbeats gym and educate us on the etiquette of bench press in person?

[cyborgar15]

i don't count anyones benches unless it's 100%raw...look at mendelson raw bench of 715lbs compared to his shirted 1000+lbs bench..big difference

[Highflytuber]

A ram protects the shoulders and chest and only gives a very small aid in terms of assisting the press. Regardless of all the safety (Straps and Ram) do you not think it is a very impressive press, especially given his body weight?



[cuweights]

@Highflytuber Save the bullshit that's a super ram which is intended for multi ply lifters it does a hell of alot more than give you a small aid in assisting the press.

[Highflytuber]

@cuweights I dont know why your so angry when your making comments, must be the roid rage. Look, even if you used the super ram, steroids, straps etc you still couldnt even do near this amount of weight on the bench and when anyone sees your weak ass videos they will know that your opinion does not count for shit.

[cuweights]

@Highflytuber I'm not mad? I simply stated that your bullshiting everybody by saying that the super ram doesn't help all that much..My videos are me lifting in a real raw drug tested federation..so take your angry can take ridicule cry baby ass to a real raw drug tested federation and put up a number then and only then can you talk any shit at all. Face facts this might be 500lbs yeah but it's not raw so don't be angry when ppl call you on that fact..

[Highflytuber]

@cuweights it does not say anywhere on this video that its a raw bench so I dont know why you have such a big hard on over that. Yusuf can do over 15 reps of your max and thats raw. Instead of being all talk why dont you put on the ram since you think it helps soo much and do even 450lbs? You need to seek help for that jealousy instead of finding little things to quibble about. Just take it, your not that strong and there are people out there who are much stronger than you.

[cuweights]

@Highflytuber You imply that this is pretty much raw when you state things like the super ram and wraps are just for support purposes. As far as strength I measure my strength by more than just the bench press and you can't compare this guy's bench to mine he is two weight classes higher than me and I lift raw. This lift is not impressive at all. That is my opinion if you can't handle that then you need to seek help cause I'm not the only one who feels this way.

[twotwo777]

All these internet warriors trying to take away the respect and props for other people's accomplishments because they are maybe mad at themselves or the world? If I'm wrong, then why such negativity in your comments?

If it's your true opinion, how come you don't say this shit in real life to people who do stuff like Yusuf? (Not a Gym Idiot) Like you would go up to him after this lift, and say THAT opinion. I will never understand the internet and the ignorance it brings. Anyway good job bro

[cuweights]

@twotwo777 I realized there are a shit load of videos on youtube of people lifting all kinds of weights. whether or not the videos are real or there wearing a shirt and lieing about it. Or there wearing a ram and saying that it doesn't help that much..really there is no reason to hate cause it's just a video put on you tube it's not like this person is ever gonna get away with this shit in a real federation so there is no need for negativity. So give props if you feel they deserve it or don't.

[ManagFTW66]

ram?

[VILEHOG]

@ManagFTW66 Definitely Ram. Doesn't look like it fits as efficiently as a slingshot though.

[ManagFTW66]

elbow wraps???really

[chemicalwarfare800]

@ManagFTW66 yeah, and a RAM?????
