295lbs. Bench Press (5x5) By 165lb Athlete

[ayd1nmo]

Idiot spotter shouldn't be touching

[JGuagliardo22]

your boy is wearing flip flops in the gym.. get a new work out partner, kid's a joke

[Discbailsshot]

Argh i cant stand it when people touch the bar unless im failing. Even if they only tap it slightly it takes some of the weight off.

[wikisaiyan]

at the end it sounded light

[flaminshit97]

Impressive strength especially for his size but those last three reps do not count at all...

[chrisfentress13]

@YeUnTrollAbleTroll dont get mad cuz he is stronger that you

[IhAvIk93]

why are the top comments not about fucking flipflops in the gym?

[bakalakpal]

@YeUnTrollAbleTroll there is something seriously wrong with you

[ZombiesRfriendz]

Careful with your back

[gecko8553]

not that impressive... im 165 as well and i can do the same

[chrisfentress13]

@gecko8553 u are staying that u do as bad as him. even though he did a good job

[gecko8553]

@chrisfentress13 im saying i can bench the same amount of weight

[BigHugeIdiot]

Good relative strength.

Nice lifting!

[ssjff907]

damn who gives a fuck about form. sometimes you just have to get out of doing good form when lifting heavy so that you can increase strength. but form is good lol.

[psychoticguy2010]

keep your back down and hae BETTER FORM

[FrazierECU]

I only counted 2 maybe 3 reps since spotters hands were touching the bar

[TheYouwontgetit]

i am going to do 8-9 reps with that today...!

[aanderson66]

@TheYouwontgetit how much do you weigh? this guy is maxing out on the bench with over twice his bodyweight. dont get me wrong now you are moving some heavy ass weight too lol. Im just saying relative to this guys bodyweight this is pretty impressive.

[TheYouwontgetit]

@aanderson66 ...twice the body weight doesn't mean shit unless you weight over 400 pounds...

[TapoutTanK52]

@TheYouwontgetit you cant be serious..... so its only impressive when a 400+ guy benches 800+. then not many people are impressive.... most ignorant statement ive heard in a while. stop that

[TheYouwontgetit]

@TapoutTanK52 ...exactly... ...check out wilks table... ....it is not impressive at all when a 150 pound guy can do double his weight - it is the same as if a 250 pound guy does 1,5 his weight... ...now these are not exact numbers but when you study the table (which is used in offical tournaments), you will se for yourself how it works... ...get informed before you call someone ignorant...

[aanderson66]

@TheYouwontgetit How much do you weigh? And double your bodyweight is impressive in my book if you are lean (sub %10), not on gear (or EVER have been) and not a powerlifter. add all those factors together and most people will never bench twice their bodyweight.

[TheYouwontgetit]

@aanderson66 ...again - nobody ask you how much fat you have, you just take your weight, your 1rm and get a number from that table... ...then you compere these... ...from experience, little guys double their weight on the bench like nothing but they still don't get more points than big guys who lift 1,5 of their own weight...

[muzimuzi]

nice but u should get rid of the spotter's help if u wanna claim it for 5

[keshav0312]

5x5 rulesss. good job hommie

[EmperorTrollpatine]

pathetic, first of all I was bench this at the end of grade 11. second, he has use shit form and arch his back to push up that weight, and third this weight is absolutely nothing to brag about. Look at that stupid look on his face to, thinking he's actually lifting heavy weight, I'd whip that cocky look right off him if I was there with my penis and make him lick my asshole.

[marqAKAQ]

@EmperorTrollpatine

You're hella gay man.

[turnthatuptoeleven1]

@EmperorTrollpatine lol does it really bother you that much?

[rocaflip101]

chadwagner85 i watched your vid your buddy looks like he helpin you

[turnthatuptoeleven1]

@rocaflip101 yeah, his spotter is helping him but thats because this is a 5x5 plan which means each set has to be brutal... so its not out of the norm to need a spot for each set if you're doing 5 sets of the heaviest weight you can lift.

[chadwagner85]

watch my bench press. i weigh 170lbs, benchin 295lbs, 6 reps.

[RatRocky]

As a weightlifter, he should know not to arch his back that much.

Still very impressive though.

[DudMan2111]

@RatRocky it's actually perfectly fine to arch your back when benching, as the back is strongest when arched.

[shiron236]

@RatRocky The arch in his back is what you are supposed to have. You want to have an arch to take the pressures off your shoulders, or else you're going to suffer debilitating rotator cuffs in the future. If you've been in powerlift competitions, you should know this. 

[RatRocky]

@shiron236

I've been trained by a trainer and he told me to keep my back fairly straight. I'm by no means a competitive powerlifter though.

[SKazclaw]

@RatRocky ur a gay ass one. his arch is fine

[FrankSpanknSlap]

sad..

[DaPuReViBe]

Looks like mr douchebag.

[dollzandpinz]

Atleast I way more than him..?

[genchiknihuyoviy]

horrible form. why arch your back so much? are you training your chest or lower back? and a spotter lol wearing flip flops in the gym? just shows how serious these guys are about their training.

[shiron236]

@genchiknihuyoviy Facepalm.

The arch in his back is what you are supposed to have. You want to have an arch to take the pressures off your shoulders, or else you're going to suffer debilitating rotator cuffs in the future. How do you not know this? Do you even lift? I hope you're not one of those guys who flare their elbows out and have a flat back on the bench when they bench press. That's a road to disaster and to the emergency room. Your joints are going to go snap, crackle, pop.

[benchfordeath]

@shiron236 You are correct sir. I've given up on trying to teach the youtube trolls how to lift though; let them enjoy their pec tears and permanent rotator cuff damage with a weak PR bench to boot.

[Meixafuhellzman2]

ho fuck man, impressive, now go kick someone ass that you hate!

[hello2ew]

Damn I'm such a bad dude to hope that the weight would drop on him :(

[LM10Productions]

I am only 15 and i weigh as much as this guy lol

[hatealldayhabit]

@LM10Productions stfu fucking kid. gay ass liar go back suckin on ur moms tits, ur balls didnt even dropped yet and ur tallkkin shit u puss

[LM10Productions]

@hatealldayhabit Hate much?

[hatealldayhabit]

@LM10Productions lie much?

[StanBobPoe]

best highest rated comments ive ever seen XD

[nhanha271988]

Bah, i just did that with 500 lbs with little sweat

[gamerstar117]

5x5? that was only one set

[TheBlim004]

Maybe i'm blind but it's that 286?? very impressive still though...

[dionis198686]

This is wrong, you can harm your heart dude, as i did :( training must be not so hard

[PycTaBeJlu]

ничё так, только у нас (Латвия) таким весом никого неудивишь, в норм тренажорке каждый второй на это способен, я в 17 лет уже макимум 100 жал при весе 55 кг, а щас не хожу, всё это бред =))

[iloledyourcat]

what the fuck... I think I have something wrong with me now... I benched 280 yesterday I pressed like 10 times and i could do more... I'm only 15... wtf?????????/

[GxDStatus]

@iloledyourcat Toilet Paper Rolls Don't Weigh 100 Pounds...

[LolGui]

@iloledyourcat maybe 280 grams

[iloledyourcat]

@LolGui LOLNOU!

[MrHitu100]

@iloledyourcat oh, u benched 80lbs only 2 times? thats nice

[Thelenox93]

Press 5. CMON! :D

[fadez]

Not to bash or anything just wondering and want to know what you guys think. It seems as though hes sort of lifting his back when he exhales and pushes the weight up. Isn't a wrong way to lift especially when you're straining your back on an exercise that is meant for the chest?

[InternetAesHole]

pussy chink, i'm 155 lbs and bench 350.

[AKoGWingman]

@InternetAesHole HAHAHAHAH good one -.-

[wednos]

@InternetAesHole

oh yeah im 2 years old, 45 lbs and bench 600. Faggot

[InternetAesHole]

@wednos wow you're 2 and you can type and lift that much? imressive

[InternetAesHole]

@wednos pretty sure you're the faggot, why the fuck are you getting turned and rubbing yourself while watching this idiotic video? FAG

[andrewszasz2]

@InternetAesHole i seriously doubt that

[knarkbruker]

@InternetAesHole How is it like to be a person that has to lie to try to impress people?

[striker265]

@InternetAesHole trololololol

[makakui]

???

[elferi]

why every video that i watched there's always "JLo - on the floor video" on suggestion page. This is sport video!

[plaines]

press 0 repitativly for the wait lifter to smash his head on the frame! :D

[Kneecapper10]

@plaines

LOL YEAH!!! And the spotter is scratchin his arm, or tryin to stroke it ;)

[gloryglorybarcelona]

wow, frikkin know-it-all's... bet uve never benched half of that in ur lifetime...

[Gealrage]

It's not 295 when he gets help.

[D4nusKOSK]

há há gay

[Rue666]

What's with his back getting all curve like that? gonna break his spine or something

[javensme1]

@Rue666 his back is curved like that because its a bench press technique so they can help push the bar up with their legs, because as you notice his feet are back as well, as he is standing on the balls of his feet. this is a way to cheat and lift more weight

[777Cympak]

Chuck Norris can do it with his penis

[mriley858]

@777Cympak are you kidding me Chuck Norris could do it with a single pube hair on a bad day

[777Cympak]

@mriley858  hahahah =)))))

[TheStereoSkyliner]

He's gud ! Nice sandals spotter!

[jumba202]

id still kick his ass

[forever1993ag]

good

[Orpheusftw]

I just want everyone to know, that spotter is officially my hero. From his sandals, to his hilarious voice and enthusiasm.

We should all aspire to such greatness.

[Ovi2k]

hmm I'm 170lbs and I can do 3 plates which is 315lbs, dont see what the big deal is besides being an above average ratio...

[anoneeeeee]

@Ovi2k proove it

[nick88999]

@Ovi2k well im guessin 3 plates is ur max, cuz i doubt u could rep 3 plates. Reppin 295 like he did is impressive

[Ovi2k]

@nick88999 3 plates is indeed my max, but on good days I can do 3-4 reps alone. With 295lbs I can rep it just fine

[GronkhIlluminati]

@Ovi2k on the internet you can bench 500 pounds -,- stop trolling and give some respect

[Ovi2k]

@GronkhIlluminati Whatever, don't have to prove anything to no one.

[BrianDaBomb3]

spotter's shit. HE'S SHIT.

[peanutbutterprince47]

when you spot you arent supposed to touch the actual bar your just supposed to support him when he like having trouble not when hes bringing it up ... n00b

[gothaner0407]

[putnamtable]

spotter should leave his hands off the bar

[Xcoming2]

easy. sigh

[anto1191]

I was lifting this much this morning , my fat wife was sitting on my cock.

[DarenNolan687]

[FugiTje]

[mouzewheel]

[XnonameX]

[JRCR2727]

[19Gui86]

I weight 190Ib and he's a lot more buffer than me.

[kingfii777]

@axelnemeth I weight 170lb and I look a bit bigger but it depends it the fat % and height ;)

[usernaameunavailable]

[thomascolin12]

@usernaameunavailable Sorry but i can drive way better

[CapChronic]

@usernaameunavailable Not true

[nakabar]

[edgarito789]

[RodionRUSDUB]

that's one fucked up back in the future GUARANTEED :D

[DRUNKyoungMan]

YOU'RE AN ASSHOLE

[INumba1Stunna]

=0 aren't you supposed to arch your back (someone please reply, thanks) =]

[Sonnyboy118]

dude who cares if hes arching his back. you can cheat your form slightly. it doesn't have to be PERFECT every time. hes 165 pounds, benching nearly 300? Id love to see one of you punks pump out 225 at 165 without arching your back.

[Spawn223311]

retarded people in the gym, look at that arch in the back -____-

[LIANGE1011]

lock it up.

[eligahwilliamz]

sus!



[peter102890]

@eligahwilliamz you arent right, the small ones there are 35's

[eligahwilliamz]

@peter102890 i just said sus thats all i know its 295

[MrAttada]

forgive me if im wrong but the weight of the big ones are 45lbs each and the small ones are 25lbs right? If the bar is 45 lbs the total weight should be 275lbs not 295.

[elephantom12]

@MrAttada smaller ones are 35 pounds, therefor it is 295 pounds.

[hav9k]

Who the hell wears sandals in the gym?

[BetaStationX]

@hav9k Someone who doesn't appreciate his toes around very VERY heavy things that fall on a regular basis.

[Shadowho]

@hav9k well it seems that HE does. But i don't think you really look serious in these. I mean my friend saw some dudes with flip flops like that and was like wtf?

[iamjd32]

dude u pull 5 repeats on the same set, u should put less weight and start doing sets of 8 repeats minimum. thats just my opinion. good luck.

[Shadowho]

@iamjd32 depends on what you want to do. 5x5 is more explosive and 8 repeats is for mass gain. well that wath i've been told. I did 8 repeats for mass and now i'm doing a strenght program in wich i only do 4 repeats but with much more weight.

[PMScritters]

wtf 266000 views and 600 ratings?

[hockeypark]

SEE YA LATER BACK........BEEN NICE KNOWING YA!!

[sicilian12345]

[Kneecapper10]

HAHAHA Yeahhh!!! That spotters voice alone would make me laugh during my set

[Orpheusftw]

@Kneecapper10

[redalert375]

[Ruzic99]

@bruins7708 how is it bullshit? 45 pound bar, 4 45s and 2 35s

[MsDavid47]

[johna442]

[SpiritKurama]

[TheUchihaGamer]

@SpiritKurama then dont watch this you stupid cunt seriously

[nick88999]

@SpiritKurama lol u jealous? i bet ur scrawny as fuck

[reiddearfield]

respect lol, im a sophomore in highschool, i weigh 164 and i bench 260, running back, but i hope to be like that when im older, even if you arch your back a little bit, thats damn good, u locked 'em out, it was nice.

[max81990]

this guy is fuckin strong...

[bomberfun1]

GAY!!!

[WhItMaNs123]

@bomberfun1 Really, do you have a boyfriend? How long have you been gay?

[iStotts]

yea this guy is a like navy seal or some shit so i think he would know what is good and what isnt

[ExtraStrongGeneral]

[leetsx]

What I want to know is who the fuck wears sandals in a fucking gym?

[WhItMaNs123]

@leetsx my god, you are stupid

[ILLALLU]

Why is this featured?

[Bonjasky90]

how much kg is that ?

[tenkid840901]

@Bonjasky90 like 135kg

[sunnydelight6929]

i workout for 8 years Arching your back will fuck you up .. you back should be flat on the bench

[zolo4]

@sunnydelight6929 just because you've lifted for 8 years, doesn't mean you have knowledge. Arching your back will not harm you in the long run, anybody who says otherwise is retarded.

[walkertexasranger33]

@MrJackmartin29 lool

[TonyAKA30]

amazing! I'm impressed! Tho his back is a bit too arched, but during a bench press its OK to arch it , but very slightly

[bakesy42]

arching your back like that is brutal for your back... try keeping your back flat on the bench tough guy

[nickjollie]

Bar = 20kg,

Big Plates = 4 x 20kg = 80kg

Small plates = 2x15kg.

In England we do maths as well as weight lifting, I make that 286pounds, not 295.

Looks like his 1st set not his 5th. Good on him for benching that much though, but poor form

[elephantom12]

@nickjollie Bar = 45lbs

Big Plates = 45x4lbs

Smaller Plates = 35x2lbs

COMBINE THAT ALL AND YOU GET 295 pounds, so you're wrong.

[nickjollie]

@elephantom12

Fair play. I stand corrected and eat humble pie :)

[elephantom12]

@nickjollie yummy id love some of that =)
