Narrow Grip bench by Magnus Samuelsson

[689321546]

thats 315

[K1BIGGESTFAN]

lol at 0:12 ----> he make the reps look so easy with heavyweight and narrow grip omg he is strong :)

[InFlamesAddictive]

To all you people who think the plates are fake:

1. This is a documentary, in other words real.

2. He has done 300kg in competition. 2reps on 10% under that (270kg) is perfectly consistent.

[Possimpablee]

@InFlamesAddictive he has not done 300kg in competiton show me any record of this

[InFlamesAddictive]

@Possimpablee My bad, it was in training.

[malawigw]

Red painted 15kg plates here as well! :D

[juliesteve]

@DanielSel at 39? you need 15 to 20 years to reach your peak. At 45 you should be in your best.

[scarred10]

@juliesteve thats totally untrue,it depends on when you started training seriously and the hours youve put in but nobody is at their physical peak at 45 yrs old.Guys tend to be older in powerlifting because they usually start late and max strength reduces with age less than other abilities.Physical peak in strength sports occur in late 20s,early 30s with few exceptions.

[Rhulken]

@HereisNathaniel

I belive that was RAW aswell? because ive seen him do 270kg RAW and he did that 2 times.. and that was not to long ago.. god damn he wold prob do 350 easy with a suit on

[zamsonub]

@Rhulken Most people aggre on that being fake though.

[FredBR999]

@DanielSel

And Mark Felix as well

[Eisenbieger1986]

The cheating curls at the end was awesome

[Andr0w]

@HereisNathaniel Do some research, I've heard some of Magnus videos are fake in matter of advertisement. But ya this video might be real, and I do not know much about that really but I said what I thought. And what has that got to do with my abilities in lifting weights?

And please reply with something more creative, you dont know anything about me.

[zycq3388]

crazy guy....

[Andr0w]

Can you see how the 2 last plates on each side have different color than the first ones? I've heard this is edited in Magnus Samuelssons movies to make him look stronger in matter of advertising. What I'm saying is that he is only working out with 70 kg, no one could train that easy with 170 kgs narrow grip.

[APRXXX]

@Andr0w LOOOL OF COURSE HE CAN 170KG NARROW IS NOTHING SPECIAL MAN BY THE WAY A LOT OF POWERLIFTERS DONT USE WIDE GRIP JUST THAT ONE

[InFlamesAddictive]

@Andr0w Dude, hes been one of the strongest men on the planet for 14 years straight, and hes one of the best bench pressers who have ever been in the WSM competitions. Magnus is beast at benchpress.

[GlobalAmazingNews]

This is 170kg! 25kg x 6 + 20kg = 170kg = 375 lbs! Magnus is amazing, he can bench press 300kg RAW!

[xtncord]

Lessen the load and keep your wrists straight; focus on form, not ego, or you may do yourself an injury.

Mwahaahaha!

[ownagexx3]

This IS the strongest guy in the world.. -

1. Drugfree.

2. Long arms (Heavier to lift bench than short hands)

[bernieboy]

@ownagexx3 I love Magnus but you're a complete idiot if you believe that he is drugfree (not on steroids).

[ownagexx3]

@bernieboy You got any proof  that he's on steroids ? He might be.. i dont know..

[tastefulphrasing]

@bernieboy Why are we idiots if we believe that? Is there proof that he's not?

[narcissus79]

@DanielSel viking blood and whale meat must be a good combination!! lol

[maidensebbe]

That's some serious power :) ... lol 140 kg bicepscurl wtf :P .. the pride of sweden.. 

[Zaldren]

Anyone know the song?

[serratealldemoncrats]

I love Magnus, he's awesome.  But I would have NO trouble betting my house that he ain't drug-free. Sorry, no chance!

[LamaPaj]

@serratealldemoncrats

Well, hes trained 6 days a week since he was like 17. AND he has some great genes. And he has worked as a farmer all his life. You dont have to be on drugs to be great you know. Only losers do!

[dustinkerikke]

@LamaPaj

so are you telling me that barry bonds is loser then? or ben johnson or carl lewis or arnold schwarznegger???

[LamaPaj]

@dustinkerikke

Hm... lets see... Yes. They are. I mean, Arnold is the man, but using is for the weak!

[Jerrevdd1989]

@LamaPaj you just do what it takes to become the best, the ones with this mental setup will always win

[dustinkerikke]

@LamaPaj World fastest men in histori, and one of the best baseball players ever, plus they are all fucking rich. i dont think i would call them losers

[XionComrade]

@dustinkerikke Barry Bonds is a fucking loser...Baseball is a pussy sport btw...Replaced by golf in the fucking Olympics...

[dustinkerikke]

@XionComrade oh yea Barry bonds is a loser, hitting 700 + homeruns.

lets see who is the real loser, when you check his bank account.....

[Nikon05]

@dustinkerikke that just means he's a rich loser :P

[dustinkerikke]

@Nikon05 well that kind of makes arnold a rich loser too, then define a some in achive that most, yet is not a loser

[Markerer]

@dustinkerikke some people measure their succes in how much money they have in the bank, what jobs the have, but some people dont give a flying fuck about this and measure their succes in how strong they are. Barry bonds lose...

[dustinkerikke]

@Markerer i truely 100% doubt that barry bonds do measure all his succes by that...... and if you belive that, then your pretty stupid. its much more likely that he does that within what he can and has achived within the sport that he love with all his heart, like when he made 700 homeruns. that where he measures his succes. or 73 homeruns in a row :P Barry bonds win

[serratealldemoncrats]

Only "losers" need to use drugs? LMAO! You don't have a clue, do you? I'm not asking you (or anyone else), I'm telling you because I have lifted for EONS and, I know.....he's on them :) PERIOD! And, to make such a jackass remark that people that use steriods are losers.....maybe you ought to consider people like your self, and what "you are" for judging so stupidly?

[crazyboutnaruto12]

@serratealldemoncrats I highly doubt he's been on steroids, especially in his early years. If you think about it, he's a backcountry farmer in the 80's without much access to meds like that, much less a gym. Hes definitely natural.

[debel101]

thats my max right there hes doing it like its nothing

[czoraa21]

there not just blowing smoke when they say he has the strongest arms in the world!!!

[13098519]

I bet you this guy rides to the gym in a freakin viking ship too...

[yasinpatel12345]

insane he's curling a bit more than my bench for reps my head hangs in shame!! gotta give this guy credit for competing naturally against athletes using performance enhancing drugs and still excels over them

[Madmanin]

Magnus is such a beast... and he's inspirational. Awesome guy

[Ringnesbest]

he is amazing but still. it's not 140 kg on the bar, svend karlsen had some small interviews later on and he said that they added som kilos on each lift in the video clips, and some of it was the curl, the real curl weight was about 115kg-120kgs said svend. they just wanted to make it sound so much, though it still is:P

[svalyyyyyy]

@Ringnesbest - not this case, i have a dvd and i can clearly see he has 2x25kg + 1x10kg on the bar on each side so: 4x25kg + 2x10kg + 20(bar) = 140kg

[Ringnesbest]

@svalyyyyyy okay:P my bad then, insane too ;)

[muzimuzi]

nah no1 in the world can curl 140 aside some fat huge sumo who is twoice the size of magnus- but i doubt there was 140 on the bar even if its cheat curls

[mrsoncho]

magnus is the number 1.

[jakubkrcma]

My narrow grip max one rep is just 97 kg at 85 kg BW. :-))))))))))))) This guy's from another planet... The planet POWA! His narrow grip max one rep must be like way over 200 kg! Holy cow! RESPECT!

[jakubkrcma]

Did you know that when Arnold was in his best shape (102-107 kg/225-235 lbs), he did sets of clean curls with up to 102 kg/225 lbs? Basically his own bodyweight (at THAT bodyheight). Arnold never ceases to amaze me, the more I know about other people's performance... Of course Arnold boosted so the performance is not comparable to a raw guy, but it was still legal back then (1960-70's)... You can bet the top guys use whatever is legal at any given point in time...

[japp111]

lol the bar is bent xD

[ocpowerlifters]

He just curled 140 k for reps. WTF! Mag. is amazing!

[Michlimania]

Swedish Vikings rule...

[khav11]

at 350 pounds u need no drugs

[adiwhgwiq1309108]

nice form

[Nilli4rock]

does anyone know where to find the whole video ?

[fitzyking1]

You can buy off his website.

[soybean70]

manny ramirez and barry bonds are big believers in natural training as well.

[larssylta]

he's a monster.. the world strongest is 1998.. and still going strong this man

[novice8814]

That's sick! I mean that in a good way!

[Skleevan]

3 plates on barbell curl? what the hell

[webbyman]

He really has got the strongest biceps in the world

[asskickerfoo]

@webbyman How can you measure bicep strenght?

[fitzyking1]

The most you can curl?

[Feon3]

Epic answer.

[asskickerfoo]

@fitzyking1 that would be endurance, not strenght

[webbyman]

@asskickerfoo 1rm curl with a barbbell?

[asskickerfoo]

@webbyman who does that?

[RubberNuke]

@asskickerfoo i dont see why not

[asskickerfoo]

@RubberNuke we're still bound to see someone to one-armed 1rm

[RubberNuke]

@asskickerfoo ik i was just saying why not 1rm barbell curls.

[Mikeyburger3]

wow looks so easy!

[eathis12]

narrow bench press works the triceps more the wide grip so he would be benching ALOT less then wide grip anyways.

[lyon2k]

This is 170 kg (25 kg plates *6, bar 20 kg), around 375 lbs.

[wizardaim]

dude? watch the other videos! He bench 270kg in one... thats alot more that his body weight at 148kg.

and in this video its 170kg and magnus is still a 2 meter 148kg giant.

[rantanen1]

yea so? hes doing rather long sets and narrow grip..

hes capable of benching 2x 270kg. Or more.

[outthere09]

DAMN RIGHT MONSTER LOL

[bronxrip25]

some day sven and magnus will gods in vallhalla

[Bodaaja]

the bar weights 170kg, 6x25kg plates + 20kg barbell. not so hard to clue, if you know something about workouting.

[phille22]

@Bodaaja workouting, hahaha

[dan7edan7e]

@Bodaaja "WORKOUTING" is the shit man =)

[toughy01]

@dan7edan7e hahahahahah

[LibertyWaxlips]

@Bodaaja the barbell is probably 35 kg, look how thick it is

[toughy01]

@Bodaaja haha "workouting" comedy :)

[1981druss]

@Bodaaja

actually you are wrong, you missed the 2 collars which are 2.5kg each, "not so hard if you know something about working out" lol

[Stianlolz]

This man is unbelievable!!!!!

[gosu83]

jag har gjort en 2:a på 190 i smal bänkpress.

[swettybettybob]

140k i reckon

[GiefGoldPlx]

im guessing 160 kilos due to the fact that each red weight is 25 kilos and theres 6 of them. plus the bar

[152monkeybiker]

the bar is 20kg

[GiefGoldPlx]

oh right. Damn thats a heavy bar-usually at my gym the bars 10kg but then again i aint no magnus samuelsson.

[wizardaim]

the bar in my gym is 20kg O.o where u from? O.o

[rantanen1]

the "official" bar is 20kg.

[sholen00]

jag väger 55 jag bänkar 50 ;) hehe

[danielgoesangry]

170 kg så jävla enkelt! man kan tro han kör på typ 60 kg när man ser hur lätt det går :P

[Crafter07]

jag väger 60kg och bänkar 80 kg. Är fan rätt stolt över de alltså:P

[bengt1777]

I press 60 kg :)

[power1890998]

175 kilos?

[Wiggz88]

That's the ideal viking :D

[somniferousous]

Why can human beings never tone down jealousy and vanity? When too many people seeing weights 2, 3, and 4 times as much as they ever could move let alone lift. Oh spacing is not this..oh this guy can do that....Well what can you whining losers do? Nothing that's write.

[undertaker6102005]

are you kidding me?180kg so easily are his bones made of steel?

[arsenevich1]

that 180 kg bench was amazing>>> no problem for me its like 60kg x 7 reps

[Strongman424]

close grip is 165-170 kg something like that!

[murderface0666]

closegrip 315? omg

[Databamse]

It is not 315 lb. It is 375 lb if the bar is 20 kg, if the bar is 30 kg it is even higher, 397 lb.

[IamAheel]

how is that narrow grip the bars only a little bit longer then that, narrow grip is 6inches apart not a foot

[unauthorizedentry01]

No, you should NEVER go as close as 6" apart. ~13" is perfect for NGBP, but never 6".

[Thrasher502]

at 6 inches apart and closer you are doing a close grip bench which is mainly a tricep exercise. Also remember that Magnus is 2 meters tall.

[macheaa]

fuckers this isnt from the same workout just some fag who took 2 diffrends clips :D

[Wattsy1234]

Dude, its from the same work out - its from his DVD 'Stongest Arms in the World' - he also goes on to close a Captain of Crush No4 gripper twice and break a world record on Iron Minds Rolling Thunder!

[ofnair]

That narrow grip bench looked like an easy warm-up set, amazing.

[jagjagjag009]

we can take this quarrel in swedish if you prefer cos thats my language.....

[jagjagjag009]

omg you are realy unmature...i didnt know 10 yearold boy kould know sutch a language ....

your IQ is not poissble to measure...its to low.....

[jagjagjag009]

you havent said anything else..? lol you cald MetalOnlsag a stupid cos he said Manus lifts 170kg...he whas talking about THIS movie not his record.... so thats why you mabey should lookat the movie you comentate...STUPID

[jagjagjag009]

In this movie he has 170kg on the benchpress he doing narowgrip....mabey your the one who is stupid? lol

[filifjonkan95]

iknow him ;) hes swedish and aint living far from me :D

[unauthorizedentry01]

Do you ever see him?

[filifjonkan95]

yeh i usualy see him at shop. :P

[unauthorizedentry01]

Let's look at something here: A handful of really strong guys can bench 420 x 1 with a regular grip. Magnus is narrow-grip benching it

for reps, and it looks way too easy for him...DANG!

[C20rules]

170 kg is 374 pounds - but it's impessive

[unauthorizedentry01]

Oops, I was adding the bar TO the 170kg (duh @ me;) Still looked too easy!

[rander9893]

Mrs. Samuelsson, lol. I read it on wikipedia a while back(on magnus' profile), but now it says she is the 2x swedens strongest woman, so I am not sure if she won the WS woman. Her name is Kristin Samuelsson.

[rander9893]

His wife won worlds strongest women, so that kid has a good shot at some top notch genes.

[RajjaNvAJDERS]

Magnus är en jävel på att pressa (:

[pontus0589]

"C20rules (2 weeks ago) Show Hide 0 Marked as spam Reply | Spam They invited him when they opened a new store in Barkarby outside Stockholm. I live nearby in Kungsängen so I went there and met him "

he lives 50kms away from me ;P he always comes to my town Västervik to watch speedway :) so i get to see him alot ^^

[fredriksaltin]

ok how old is he?

[fredriksaltin]

magnus is the greatest viking ever hope their will be a new great swedish strongman soon

[BLAKEYBBLAKEY]

*v*i*k*i*n*g P>O>W>E>R!!!!!! ;>)

[forum37]

whos the best viking magnus vs svend for me magnus no doubt!!

[iaz300]

Talk in pounds you momo heads.

[guayacan07]

ya think he could bench press yo momma?

[jayron77]

440 lbs for easy 8 reps pure raw power.

[C20rules]

They invited him when they opened a new store in Barkarby outside Stockholm. I live nearby in Kungsängen so I went there and met him

[assbringer]

raw power

[C20rules]

He is just awesome!

(I also met him about a year ago)

[unauthorizedentry01]

Really? Where at? I'd love to meet him.

[conradpexter]

i've met magnus, hes a really nice friendly guy. He's definitely one of my favorite strongmen!

[tjabbashuhej]

Thats sick, 200 kg narrow grip bench several repetitions easy, and it even looks like he could keep on going!

[BLAKEYBBLAKEY]

VIKING POWER ALL THE WAY ;>)

[jcm1117]

narrow grip means narrow...

i am not as big as this guy,

but i can do 185 with my hands touching 8 times...

[mixali]

he was 140 kgs...like it says on the video...

he has:

TWO red 25kg plates each side = total 100kg.

ONE olympic bar = 20kg

ONE black 10kg plate each side = total 20kg

100 + 20 + 20 = 140.

he was 140 kgs...like it says on the video...

[jonp382]

That's funny, my olympic plates at that size are 20.4 kg, or 45 pounds. I guess mine are somehow thicker, even though they don't look like it.

[mixali]

haha yeah maybe you are right i dunno :o)

i thought that (olympic plates) all red are 25 kgs, and blue are the 20 kg ones?  i know at my gym the blue olympics are all 20 and it is this way at the actual olympics but maybe he is using different red plates?

but the way i did it would match up what they put on the tape?

[jonp382]

yeah. red are 25 kg, i dont have colored ones but they're bigger than standard olympic plates you get with a 300 lb set. my black ones at that size are 20 kg. i guess the ones that magnus is using are made of the same material as the colored ones. in that case it would be 140 kg. :)

[C20rules]

The standard is:

yellow = 15 kg blue = 20 kg red = 25 kg

10 kg plates (or lower) and the 50 kg plates sometimes used has no standard color setting but is sometimes green.

[MetalOnslaught]

140kg on the curl , 170kg on the bench

[MetalOnslaught]

hmm it has 3 red on each side? wheres the black one?

[C20rules]

3 red is 3*25*2 = 150, the bar weigh 20 that's 170 kg

[dujl]

You mean the bar is weightless?

[jonp382]

He was curling way more than 140 KG, more like 160 KG.

The bench was 170 KG.

[JohnSmith2012]

He's fucking strong!

[ArmeniaN897]

wow he was curling 300 pounds

[Psalm23YHVH]

Three fifteen bud

[braslfakr]

dude, thats three 25kg plates on each side plus 20kg bar making it 170kg which is 374lbs

[phille22]

4 times..

[pennernick]

the video said 140kgs which is about 310

[jebemteluda]

grr

[antiflag35]

I met him today :) he came to my hometown,it was really nice too meet him

[GiefGoldPlx]

where do u live?

[CapriceDA1337]

Impressive.

[A550RGY]

American Jeremy Hoornstra has narrow gripped a 585 lbs bench, raw, at only 242 lbs bodyweight.

[SwedishVikingPower]

Yes this makes you proud to be from Sweden. Go MAGNUS!

[phille22]

What was that? 170kgx8 (narrow grip)???? o_O

[Bodaaja]

Yes it is. Its 170kgs :) I think he has the strongest triceps and biceps of the world. Hes capable to curl reps with 140kg and using slow negatives.

[AxeGrinder18]

fucking hell man!
