Wow, good form too? Wtf is this bullshit, I was expecting him to bounce it up and down like the average youtube bench presser. And nevermind the lift, are those plates locked together? That shit is badass.
awesome press bro i just got into the 300lbs and my form is spot on like yours dont listen too these haters who talk shit about bench pressin your press was a legit competition form of bench pressing so in all Great lift brotha....
@4oldskool Oh hi, Mr. Hoover77. Are you so pathetic that you are now "trolling" from this account? I love how you use a different account to "troll" me since you do such a shitty job on your other account..pfft. Make all the accounts you want..it doesn't change or disprove how pathetic you are. lol actually, if anything you should keep on entertaining me. This is quite a show watching you trying so hard to "troll" me and yet still fail. Switch it up or i'm going to start getting bored
too many haters and retards commenting on here about upper/lower body! regardless great lift! amazing strength, im 175 and can do about 300, and i thought i was strong, u take the cake my friend! props!
@sabutai11 it's 405...4 plates on each side that overlap each other. Open your eyes to more than just the weights you're accustomed to lifting (if any).
It looks like a good lift until I saw movement on his left leg during the push. It could have been a scratch. In a competition lift you can't move your legs or feet. Bottom line. I gotta give props where it's due... the guy pressed that shit up. That lift is one of the best I have seen. Considering his body weight... awesome! The taller guys will continue to bitch because they are jealous. "Range of motion" and blah blah blah....it's all about physics. You are either strong or not. Deal with it.
because the most powerful bench really lays across the lower part of the palm and put more emphasis on the lats and chest where as a closed fist would put more emphasis on shoulders and tri's working harder then the chest.
I've seen TALL people out bench, out squat, and out deadlift SMALL people. And yes.... they both were at the same weight! Most of the time it's a tall person bitching because he is weak and someone shorter than him is stronger. TRAIN HARDER AND STOP BEING A BITCH!
@MrHoover77 Haha, i know right? It's silly to say that someone's height makes a difference in their "range of motion" or even imply that it makes short people stronger than taller people. Shorter people can have lanky disproportionate arms just like a taller guy too...Whatever, it's always a scrawny or fat keyboard troll that finds something bad to say about everything.

@MrHoover77 LOL wow...are you mentally retarded? I was agreeing with you, you dumb retarded, mong. And don't talk tough and accuse people you've never seen behind that computer of yours.

Oh......... OH.... he pulls the old so OLD "I have a life" line. Well if you did you wouldn't be concerned about what I say... now would you? Fuckin hypocrite.
@MrHoover77 the tall people you mention got strong IN SPITE OF disadvantages. a tall guy who presses 405 for 2 feet is obviously stronger than a short guy pressing it for 1.25 feet.
@MrHoover77 Lets say that there is a guy who is 6'2 that max benches 385 and he weighs 210lbs. Then there is a guy who is 5'4 and weighs 150lbs and benches the same weight, the taller guy is going to be stronger because his arms are longer and he has to travel farther with the weight, short guys only have to travel like 6 inches to their chest cause they have short stubby arms. All in all the tall weightlifter wins, he looks better, hes stronger, not some short, fat, hairy gorilla man
@Fx4Ranger2002 And, a serious thought regarding your comment -- Your example of comparing a 6'2" 210 lb man who benches 385 to a 5'4" 150 lb man who also benches 385, and saying the taller guy is stronger because he has longer arms and has to push the weight farther doesn't really work in your example...due to the fact that the taller guy (in your example) happens to outweigh the shorter guy by 60 lbs. This would mean the taller guy would have more muscle mass than the shorter guy
@Fx4Ranger2002 Since your hypothetical tall guy has 60 lbs and more muscle mass on the short guy, then he isn't really stronger than him is he? Because the shorter guy has the disadvantage of only weighing 150 lbs and having less muscle mass to work with. If he does bench 385 in spite of this, most people would say he was the stronger one lb for lb. And in powerlifting he would be in a lower weight class and would win by formula. In powerlifting they only care about your weight.
@Fx4Ranger2002 There are no height classes in powerlifting, because it has been found that strength in more related to body mass/muscle mass, than height. So a 6'2" 210 lb man, would be, and should be, generally stronger than a 5'4" 150 lb man. That's why they would divide them into different weight classes to make it more fair, so both guys could enjoy the chance to do well in powerlifting.
@Fx4Ranger2002 A better example than yours, would be to compare guys who are of EQUAL weight, but different heights, and lift the same weight. So, let's say there is a 6'2" 200 lb guy, and a 5'6" 200 lb guy, and they both benchpress 300 lbs. Then, I would say the taller guy is stronger due to pushing the weight farther. But if the 5'6" guy was only 140 lbs, the whole "taller guy is stronger" theme goes out the window, because now he has a weight advantage.
@oratorman I guess what I was trying to say that in the eyes of the uneducated people would find the 150lb short guy bench pressing 380 more impressive than the 210lb 6'2 guy benching 380.
@Fx4Ranger2002 Dude, it is more impressive for a 150 lb short guy to bench 380, than for a 6'2" 210 lb guy to! The 6'2" 210 lb guy is several inches taller and weighs 60 lbs more than the 5'4" 150 lb guy, he is bigger in every sense of the word. And yet, if in spite of his obvious size advantage, a little wiry guy is benchpressing as much as him, then yes, I would be more impressed by the little guy.
@Fx4Ranger2002 Should we be more impressed if a tall guy who weighs 200+ lbs is as strong as a short guy who only weighs a buck fifty??? That doesn't make any sense. I mean, if I saw some guy who weighed 60 lbs less than me lift as much as I do, I wouldn't say I was more impressive than him.
@Fx4Ranger2002 Yes I agree with you...IF the tall guy and the short guy are of equal bodyweight. If the short guy is 60 lbs lighter than the tall guy, then the short guy is stronger because he is lifting the same weight with less muscle. If we go by what you're saying then if I benchpress as much as a 6'3", 270 lb guy, you could say he is stronger because he is pushing it farther, even though he outweighs me by 50 lbs and is a much bigger guy. It's a very unfair comparison.
@oratorman yeah not really height equals more weight. if you are tall you kinda get screwed with this relative strength crap. its harder to press the same amount of weight and we already carry more weight from bigger longer bones, organs, etc.
@Fx4Ranger2002 Some guys are big dudes, who are tall and have big muscles, and they get outlifted by guys half their size...you've got to give those little powerlifters credit where it's due, they are stronger.
@Fx4Ranger2002 And look up the facts -- All the strongest benchpressers in the world lately: Gene Rychlak, Scott Mendelson, and Ryan Kenelly, are guys over 6ft tall. So if you get outlifted by a guy who is shorter and lighter than you, you can't legitimately use the height excuse.
Awesome lift. I was hoping to hit 405 at my past weight of 165, but injury to rotator cuff stopped that. Never got a real max, but I was repping 315 and it felt so easy, my goal became 4 plates per side.
He is the only person on youtube who filmed their self doing a rep with out cheating by not going down or up all the way, lifting your back off the bench, or bouncing the bar. Why cant people on youtube bench!
Ha look t these dumb fucks trying to criticize, they don't gotta fucking clue, his thumbs are that way to deliver more power, accidents happen because people are throwing weight around, he was in control the whole time slow up and slow down, technique so don't give ur 2 minute experience wit a guy who has been doing this is whole life, cuz u sound like a dumb fuck, nd my dad maxed out 620 weighing that weight, sane strategy as this boy, so if he keeps it up he'll catch up so good luck. Dude
lol people always pull the short arms card etc. the only people that cant bench much is the taller skinny guys. someone 5'8 200 vs 6'3 200 same BF yeah the shorter guy is prob gonna bench more. if the tall guy was 250+ hed bench more. you just have to have the mass for your frame
@rogue8853 I know! So annoying. The short arms card is a perfect excuse for someone taller that is WEAK...they disregard the fact that they usually have 40lbs. on who ever they critisize. 405 is 405 and jealousy's a killer...
@rogue8853 your just a dumbass, 5'8 200 solid ass pounds is huge.. 6'3 200 is nothing and wud get destroyed by 5'8 200,and itz nothing to do with your mass and frame wtf.. itz your chest strength and upper body alone to bench alot
@MrCatalano14 Im not saying it's how big your upper body is but that'z all you use when you bench press. why the fuck do you think they use bench pressing for paralympic athletes?? cause they have no legs or their legs are paralysed, maybe cause you don't use your legs, your the stupid one..
@MegaUnavailableusern Good bench pressers use their legs quite alot. How many paralympic atheletes have world records? accroding to you they have no real disadvagtage. You are an idiot, learn some bench press form, leg drive is VERY important if you ever want to push a big amount of weight
@MrCatalano14 aw go suck a fat one, itz mostly your upper body.. if i lift my legs off the ground when i bench itz roughly the same as when they are on the ground, bench the same, and paralympic atheletes obviously find it harder to train and less time perhaps..
@MegaUnavailableusern You're stupid dude you have no clue. It doesnt make a difference to you cause you are probably only lightweight. Educate yourself about bench press tips, you will be happy you did
@MrCatalano14 What do you mean by leg drive?, In competition bench, you are not allowed to move your feet from the floor, you must maintain your butt and shoulder blades on bench at all times during press. Your feet are never allowed to touch any part of the bench, or press is disqualified. In competition that I have been in, your legs must be out in front of you during the whole press, and bar grip must be on knurled parts of bar. Your full of shit!
@Vv132164 Hahahahahahahahahah Whats do I mean by leg drive? Yup its official you are a pussy! learn how to bench press you weak internet warrior prick. You have the worst comments, you should probably just stop.
nerds!!!!can't stop over-analyzing everything. Ectomorph...psh. I'd hate to hear your speech when somebody farts. Wet, not wet, ectowet...blowout...stains.............
@007KHul I have been benching with a false grip for about 21 years now. Never had any kind of "accident". Ususally dudes who are members at Planet Fitness for about six months and then move on to a new hobby think benching with a false grip is dangerous.
Death grip? If your scared of it then don't do it....if you really turn your palm enough to make it slide off your hands your little thumbs are not going to save your life..your arms would come forward and it would fall on you anyway
You sir a idiot... GJ for lifting that pile of weight but you are gonna die if you keep continue holding the bar in the "Death" grip... your thumbs must be around the bar... lucky you didnt had any accident... yet. Just change the grip and keep up the good work
hey bro congrats man your truly one of those guys with super good genetics. your one in a million bro keep it up shits beast! its sad that people still find ways to hate on you lmao i just dont understand! i guarantee you if you benching 715lbs they would still hate on you bro.
@jasonjinx lol i watched your videos your ass is so weak compare to this guy you wouldnt even be able to move 1cm with this weight buddy. sit your emo ass down and just watch how big boys lift good day mate!
Mate? I have been lifting solid for one year now all natural. My gains have been going up steady but to you I should be lifting for someone else. I lift for me, you jerkoff. Its no secret that smurfs have a crap range of motion. I rather be tall and lift with good form than be some midget who can move 400 lbs two inches.
i dont know but i have the impression that an average joe can lift 405 lbs if he trains really hard at the gym for years even though its a lot of effort anybody (male) can achieve it.. respect for this guy
@xsmunies reduce the range of motion-true, but someone taller with bigger hands would have more potential and maybe even muscle due to that fact exactly, because bigger body=bigger muscles so if a tall and a not so tall guy train together the tall should be able to get lot more stronger so no 'super' advantage for the short-heck i agree though, impressive weight (especially taking into consideration his body-weight!)
@Sessions411 (having in mind that he a taller man is training hard and frequently with weights) = longer arm=bigger muscles-bigger muscles=greater capacity+potential for lifting more weight, everything has more than 1sides (like it or not) -so in essense the difference is almost eliminated or at worst, it gives a bit of an advantage to someone with larger=bigger muscles >meaning -apparently- taller overall guy
@koutsompiskoto Longer bone doesn't mean bigger muscle. Thicker bone means bigger muscle. I've been lifting for 5 years. Just because you're taller, doesn't mean you're going to be larger.
@xsmunies What does having "short" arms have to do with reducing his range of motion? His "short arms" are still equally proportionate to the REST of his body . We've all seen taller guys with a stockier build or small guys with stockier builds (such as the guy in the vid). And if anything, his OVERALL small stature & his OVERALL proportions compared to a bigger guy would make the bench MORE challenging for him as opposed to a bigger guy with the same proportions as this shorter guy. Check out
@xsmunies And actually, my replies to you didn't require that much thought for a person like you. Took me only a couple of minutes to write 'em. And i'm not the one cutting people short of what they do. I'd like to see you put a vid up of yourself lifting that much weight...that's what i thought. You're just jealous. And don't respond if all you can say is "...The thought put into your comment is just silly... just sayin'." Actually, don't respond at all please. I feel dumber arguing w/you.
@xsmunies Nope, you. & i find it funny that you didn't reply to my 1st reply knowing full well on your part it would've shown up at the top of the page in its proper context along with my other comments. Oh well, as far as this vid goes, i guess unsuccessful people (like you) like making excuses for taller people & trolling is all you got. Welp, you failed as a troll :) Like i said, unless his arms were disproportionately short, (they're not & have nothing to do with lifting more) can't hate him
@hotcocao55 you're still going at it? haha. What's funny is that, by what you've been saying, you obviously don't understand my comment at all. In no way was I putting him down. Context is a good thing to look for, just a little tip to keep in mind.
@xsmunies I completely understand your comment....."Yeah he is short and does have short arms which reduces the range of motion, but 405 is still a shitload of weight." Since you're not only wrong about this statement, and you say he "reduced the range of motion," you ARE putting him down, genius. And don't tell me about context you mong. I love how every youtuber tries to act technical when i point out a mistake or something stupid that they say (like from you). Just a tip to keep in mind.
@xsmunies.... and taller people usually can deadlift more than shorter people!!! Taller people are always in the World's Strongest Man competitions!!!
Wrong....If a taller guy with longer arms were to get on that bench he would lift the bar from the same position as the shorter guy. A proper power bench press takes the bar directly forward from its resting position and brings it down into the eccentric and back up to its resting place where he took it from.
Technically speaking a shorter guy with shorter range would actually use a deeper range of motion because he would almost have to reach up to put it back to its resting place.
you are bullshit , and you are also a very little dude. Most the time people who talk about shorter people having a shorter range of motion are little people who are not very strong. It they ever did the research on it and studied human bio mechanics in college they would actually see that there is no advantage for shorter people.
@justinp766 I agree. It's also simple relativity and physics. A shorter guy can also have long arms disproportionate to their body as with any taller guy...In fact, being shorter would only make bench more challenging, therefore, no one can really use the excuse that tall people have it harder...it's a silly statement from xsmunies. The guy in this video has shorter arms because he's strong...has nothing to do with having a shorter stature...silly idiots playing the "short" card.
You're short!

@Fx4Ranger2002 And, a serious thought regarding your comment -- Your example of comparing a 6'2" 210 lb man who benches 385 to a 5'4" 150 lb man who also benches 385, and saying the taller guy is stronger because he has longer arms and has to push the weight farther doesn't really work in your example...due to the fact that the taller guy (in your example) happens to outweigh the shorter guy by 60 lbs. This would mean the taller guy would have more muscle mass than the shorter guy
oratorman 2 months ago
@Fx4Ranger2002 Since your hypothetical tall guy has 60 lbs and more muscle mass on the short guy, then he isn't really stronger than him is he? Because the shorter guy has the disadvantage of only weighing 150 lbs and having less muscle mass to work with. If he does bench 385 in spite of this, most people would say he was the stronger one lb for lb. And in powerlifting he would be in a lower weight class and would win by formula. In powerlifting they only care about your weight.
oratorman 2 months ago
@Fx4Ranger2002 There are no height classes in powerlifting, because it has been found that strength in more related to body mass/muscle mass, than height. So a 6'2" 210 lb man, would be, and should be, generally stronger than a 5'4" 150 lb man. That's why they would divide them into different weight classes to make it more fair, so both guys could enjoy the chance to do well in powerlifting.
oratorman 2 months ago
@Fx4Ranger2002 A better example than yours, would be to compare guys who are of EQUAL weight, but different heights, and lift the same weight. So, let's say there is a 6'2" 200 lb guy, and a 5'6" 200 lb guy, and they both benchpress 300 lbs. Then, I would say the taller guy is stronger due to pushing the weight farther. But if the 5'6" guy was only 140 lbs, the whole "taller guy is stronger" theme goes out the window, because now he has a weight advantage.

@oratorman I guess what I was trying to say that in the eyes of the uneducated people would find the 150lb short guy bench pressing 380 more impressive than the 210lb 6'2 guy benching 380.
Fx4Ranger2002 2 months ago
@Fx4Ranger2002 Dude, it is more impressive for a 150 lb short guy to bench 380, than for a 6'2" 210 lb guy to! The 6'2" 210 lb guy is several inches taller and weighs 60 lbs more than the 5'4" 150 lb guy, he is bigger in every sense of the word. And yet, if in spite of his obvious size advantage, a little wiry guy is benchpressing as much as him, then yes, I would be more impressed by the little guy.
oratorman 2 months ago
@Fx4Ranger2002 Should we be more impressed if a tall guy who weighs 200+ lbs is as strong as a short guy who only weighs a buck fifty??? That doesn't make any sense. I mean, if I saw some guy who weighed 60 lbs less than me lift as much as I do, I wouldn't say I was more impressive than him.
oratorman 2 months ago
@oratorman Because the taller guy is stronger even know they press the same, he has to go farther with the weight
Fx4Ranger2002 2 months ago
@Fx4Ranger2002 Yes I agree with you...IF the tall guy and the short guy are of equal bodyweight. If the short guy is 60 lbs lighter than the tall guy, then the short guy is stronger because he is lifting the same weight with less muscle. If we go by what you're saying then if I benchpress as much as a 6'3", 270 lb guy, you could say he is stronger because he is pushing it farther, even though he outweighs me by 50 lbs and is a much bigger guy. It's a very unfair comparison.
oratorman 2 months ago
@oratorman yeah not really height equals more weight. if you are tall you kinda get screwed with this relative strength crap. its harder to press the same amount of weight and we already carry more weight from bigger longer bones, organs, etc.

@Fx4Ranger2002 Some guys are big dudes, who are tall and have big muscles, and they get outlifted by guys half their size...you've got to give those little powerlifters credit where it's due, they are stronger.
oratorman 2 months ago
@Fx4Ranger2002 And look up the facts -- All the strongest benchpressers in the world lately: Gene Rychlak, Scott Mendelson, and Ryan Kenelly, are guys over 6ft tall. So if you get outlifted by a guy who is shorter and lighter than you, you can't legitimately use the height excuse.

@MegaUnavailableusern Good bench pressers use their legs quite alot. How many paralympic atheletes have world records? accroding to you they have no real disadvagtage. You are an idiot, learn some bench press form, leg drive is VERY important if you ever want to push a big amount of weight
MrCatalano14 3 months ago 10
@MrCatalano14 aw go suck a fat one, itz mostly your upper body.. if i lift my legs off the ground when i bench itz roughly the same as when they are on the ground, bench the same, and paralympic atheletes obviously find it harder to train and less time perhaps..

@MrCatalano14 What do you mean by leg drive?, In competition bench, you are not allowed to move your feet from the floor, you must maintain your butt and shoulder blades on bench at all times during press. Your feet are never allowed to touch any part of the bench, or press is disqualified. In competition that I have been in, your legs must be out in front of you during the whole press, and bar grip must be on knurled parts of bar. Your full of shit!

xsmunies 10 months ago 41
@xsmunies reduce the range of motion-true, but someone taller with bigger hands would have more potential and maybe even muscle due to that fact exactly, because bigger body=bigger muscles so if a tall and a not so tall guy train together the tall should be able to get lot more stronger so no 'super' advantage for the short-heck i agree though, impressive weight (especially taking into consideration his body-weight!)

Sessions411 8 months ago
@Sessions411 (having in mind that he a taller man is training hard and frequently with weights) = longer arm=bigger muscles-bigger muscles=greater capacity+potential for lifting more weight, everything has more than 1sides (like it or not) -so in essense the difference is almost eliminated or at worst, it gives a bit of an advantage to someone with larger=bigger muscles >meaning -apparently- taller overall guy

@koutsompiskoto Longer bone doesn't mean bigger muscle. Thicker bone means bigger muscle. I've been lifting for 5 years. Just because you're taller, doesn't mean you're going to be larger.
Sessions411 5 months ago
@xsmunies What does having "short" arms have to do with reducing his range of motion? His "short arms" are still equally proportionate to the REST of his body . We've all seen taller guys with a stockier build or small guys with stockier builds (such as the guy in the vid). And if anything, his OVERALL small stature & his OVERALL proportions compared to a bigger guy would make the bench MORE challenging for him as opposed to a bigger guy with the same proportions as this shorter guy.

MrHoover77 6 months ago
@xsmunies
Wrong....If a taller guy with longer arms were to get on that bench he would lift the bar from the same position as the shorter guy. A proper power bench press takes the bar directly forward from its resting position and brings it down into the eccentric and back up to its resting place where he took it from.
Technically speaking a shorter guy with shorter range would actually use a deeper range of motion because he would almost have to reach up to put it back to its resting place.

you are bullshit , and you are also a very little dude. Most the time people who talk about shorter people having a shorter range of motion are little people who are not very strong.

justinp766 5 months ago
@justinp766 I agree. It's also simple relativity and physics. A shorter guy can also have long arms disproportionate to their body as with any taller guy...In fact, being shorter would only make bench more challenging, therefore, no one can really use the excuse that tall people have it harder...it's a silly statement from xsmunies. The guy in this video has shorter arms because he's strong...has nothing to do with having a shorter stature...silly idiots playing the "short" card.
