Bench Press "Mix"

[taitlawrence]

Good on you big man, are you a powerlifter or just a really strong bodybuilder ?

[littleboeep]

This is AMAZING shit!!!!! And no PARTIALS!!!

[turtleownage]

Omg your strong, I cant imagine being able to put 315 up so many times, good job man!

[DRCNssnZ]

oh my monkey balls...



[boom34]

Man that's insane. Props on not wearing the cheat shirt

[WhatAmIdoinng54]

holy shit , he does it so smooth. perfect everything

[cafehevi]

2:21 He could get to 30 reps!!

[scorchaspit5]

dude has a wide grip maybe why the bar didnt bend that much. you are a beast man. god dam. amazing form.

[spartan1081990]

why so far up the bench? most people position front of the bar not behind it.

[selathael]

perfect reps ...strong man

[xxxsmokey]

this guy didn't really struggle, he's gotta be one of the best

[6reevesy9]

if the bar aint bendin' this niggas pretendin'.

[duopfergucknich]

FUCKING POWER DUDEEEE

[LutaLivreKalli]

great form !!

[dustineilertsen]

Mike is Minneapolis/St. Paul.

[djcire1]

hey mike i am chairman for mass epf . where are you located? we want a bencher like you in the epf .. please contact me .

[sktpony3030]

Just flawless form. Guy is a bench pressing machine. Pure strength. Love to see him do it with out a bench shirt on. Awesome!!!

[svtcobra1992]

nothing but respect for this guy, does 100% raw perfect form with huge weight. watching this video should put guys that wear so called "shirts" to absolute shame.

[Affenhaug]

fucking clean!!!!

[herc410]

totally legitimate, mike siegler is an exceptional bencher, and as Ludichris8531 said, he hit 600@242 raw a few years ago.

[tastefulphrasing]

Who the hell is this guy? And why have i not been studying him? Damn. Amazing lifting bro.

[CxOxLxE]

605 looked super easy amazing lifts bro

[Schuust]

he makes 405 look 135 wtf

[13andincrediblycut]

im only 13 and drug-free and my max on the bench-press is about 410lbs raw using perfect-form of course! :)

[Schuust]

@13andincrediblycut shut the fuck up faggot

[13andincrediblycut]

@Schuust LOL get a life sexist hater.

[Schuust]

@13andincrediblycut sexist? your fucking retarded

[hamzehej]

never seen such form

[markacierto]

I like the form...clean and perfect. Just the way to do a bench press!!!

[ronyboy40]

very strong, awesome,whats the secret to a great bench, if i may?

[MrGrindcore69]

dam this guy is a beast!

[cmooresmoke89]

If it's fake why does the bench move so much when he racks it?... Foam can't do that...

[dustineilertsen]

@paintballerx123

I know, right? The jealousy that Mike's flawless technique causes one to experience can be very difficult to stomach. Sucks, doesn't it?

[nickmayer152]

it probbaly doesnt bend because his grip is wide. when squatting and deading the grip or stance is narrow

[electrovampir0]

impresive form !! impresive weight !!

[paintballerx123]

rofl these are fake plates there is zero bend in the bar and it looks like he can rep "605 pounds" about 10 times

[chadley6916]

If you think this is real, you know nothing about bodybuilding. Don't be so gullible.

[RuggerFlail]

@chadley6916 Hes not a bodybuilder. Powerlifter.

[chadley6916]

@RuggerFlail

call it what u want! The point is that the lift is a hoax

[golder89]

you got a very good form. lol 225 for u is like the bar for me ! Never give up bro i wanna see u banging 7 plates each side !

[MrChrisheinz]

too bad they're all rubber plates!

[ligerfly]

That's how you bench: no half-assed reps, no bullshit bench shirts

[rooneyohyes1]

i would not want the guy behind spotting me fucking twat just stands there or walks off twat gona get someone killed with that weight bud

[slangsing]

Perfect form perfect reps. this guy is good.

[awes3939]

Amazing bro. 495 looked like it weighed nothing. What's the most you ever put up in a training session?

[ranboy5]

bigarm19 woooo dont buy your bar at wal-mart stupid mike is the man

[DJECell]

wow some very impressive lifts I must say u dont see this kind of form and weight everyday keep it up come check out my bench video please

[bigarm19]

Does anybody realize these are foam plates? No sound on the video? I hit 500. In my videos the bar has a great bend. His 605 bar is just as straight as the 315.

Under 605 a Texas bar bends. Just watch dead lift videos and look at the bar bend. Here there is none! Nice hoxe!

[mikeislarge07]

foam brain sounds like.

[rantanen1]

@bigarm19

do u not realize who this man is?

and a bar should not bend at 500 or under 300kg imo, a quality bar can withstand well over 300 too

[RandomRept1le]

@bigarm19

you got way pwnd for doing such stupid comment, next time try to do such thing in a circus

[rolfeder]

@bigarm19 The bar doesn't appear to bend much because of his wide grip. When deadlifting, you pull the direct center of the bar causing it to bend in opposition to the force of the weights and fulcrum in the middle. Basic physics.

[RuggerFlail]

@rolfeder THANK YOU! "bigarm19" is a dumbass. I like his "foam brain" comment, even though his brain cant figure this one out. I like the name bigarm19 too. Im assuming he means his arms are 19 inches. Which are probably big blobs of fat. So that doesnt really count.

[TheWildtransam]

@bigarm19 agreed and rantanen1 maybe you never lifted before but dude the bar bends at 405

[RuggerFlail]

@bigarm19 Mike lifts in the press gym where i train in Little Canada Minnesota. THESE ARE NOT FOAM PLATES. I have seen him lift, he is no joke. Just cause you cant do it, doesnt mean someone else cant. The reason you cant, is because you leave stupid ass comments instead of spending your time in the gym. :)

[SmexyPC]

@bigarm19 lol? there are stronger bars now. you just probably have weak bar as there are bars that dont even bend alot with 1000lbs.

[marcosisfat]

@bigarm19 you do know there are bars that can handle more weight without bending right.

My high school bars don't even bend that much with 500 on the bar so you must have some pretty weak bars.

[gagesamson]

@bigarm19 if this is fake then hes a really good actor

[TheBigshot789]

@bigarm19 well you must not be using a good bar becuase olympic bars dont bend to easily. When scott mendelson benched 715 his bar didnt bend. I suspect this bar is the same type.

[MrJervilla]

@bigarm19 nice spelling dumb ass. Hoax...and btw if u deadlift 605 with a grip as wide as this guy benches guess what....the bar wont bend. simple logic.

[Pentagonshark666]

a one word strong.

[MrBoobsmagee]

um just wondering.... how ur doing the wide grip is it rlly easier like they say,,, cuz usually i just do my shoulder width and they say that to close im going for 350 today i rep 305 but they say my hands are to close?? i was just wondering if ne1 can help me out with that?

[ap28dema]

wow man very impressive, 605 seemed easy for u

[thugmelvin]

kid is stout

[maadili]

You form is flawless! Great job. Your spotter and videographer did a good job. too.

[Jacare1973]

Good to see some real benching without the CHEAT shirt!

[G0dF0ther]

hell ya

[Elreypachuco]

Good shit.. and great form too....unlike some of these other douchebags on Youtube with their arched backs and half reps. Much respect to you my man.

[extralongmatches2]

shit this guy is a beast!!!

[flex78er]

mutant strength

[crazyazn24xx]

tlast2012dude your dumb how can you do 3058 when the the lowest weith is 2and a half so it go up by 5 each time no other nuymber should be at the end then a 5 0r a 0 dumbass not no 8

[tlast2012dude]

i use kilograms, and 308Lbs for me is 140Kg, i use google calculator to do the conversion o.0

it sems that google conversion sucks?

[bambam2116]

each kilo is 2.2 pounds

[rantanen1]

you fuckin idiot, if he uses kilograms he could very easily have a number other than those u mentioned at the end.

learn to calculate.

[delaware753]

not bad not bad at all..... i can lift with a guy like you... keep it up...

[fitnessmaster]

Something makes me think HE'S NATURAL!

[CRrider94]

there is no form better than that.. it's impossible. thats perfect. form. period.

[Cloudsrange]

thats fucking pro.

[straightupballin3]

i love how dorian yates has my first name :p

i love being a power lifter

[bez77ore]

It's nice to see a real bench press like this one. No wimpy back contortions or bench shirts, smelling sauce, weight belts etc.

[gingerykid454]

Perfect form dude, keep it up.

[icantthinkofaname32]

haha dude, he makes me look like a poon. my max is 235. but im only 140 lbs though, so i think its okay, but does anyone have any tips to raise it?? let me know.

[wolfgangle]

your fragile bodyweight is YOUR problem, only the weight lifted is what counts, man up dude

[TheNewSpartan301]

the workout i did that sent my max up crazy was 5 sets of 5... i'm 15, turning 16 in 2 1/2 months. when i first turned 15 i was benching 165... now i'm benching 255. you'll probably wanna use anywhere from 195-205 lbs. depending on what you can complete the workout with... remember... 5 sets of 5

[tlast2012dude]

i'm 141 and my max is 308. When i was like you at 235 max i did 2 weeks of no more than 176 lbs bench press 3 sets of 8, 3 times a week. and then the next week i manage to get a 8-10 reps with 235.

anyway, thats what i did. Good luck!

[joaking66]

ahhh stfu no u cant

[ethiopiantribe]

damn such good form

[popping01]

wtf this guys is indeed a bench beast...jus for the record do you think he took some steds before this workout?

[ravsandhu1]

OMG you're an insane bencher!! fuck dude

[supersquats]

outstanding form puts ronnie coleman to shame

[mixer14316]

Unreal strength. Just fantastic. I'd LOVE to be able to handle half of that weight. Great job.

[studcake69]

This guy was born to bench. Perfect stature and perfect form.

[ashoka22]

thats beauty thats a fuckin beautiful workout

[walterkurda]

he is really a bench-beast

[helpcurecatholicism]

this is the kind of bench i love right here. arching has its time and place. you cant knock this guys form. keep it up man

[RogerThat5891]

look at the back spotter struggling to help him lift the weight

[gemini2one]

That is the best form I have ever seen with that amount of weight!

[dve8692]

incredible, that's all there is to say.

[jclopp85]

Damn nice benching bro. Keep up the good work your a beast.

[huba00]

He is so smooth at heavy weight! it's crazy!

best bench vid on youtube easily!

[bojanglesk88]

how much do you weigh

[spencemaster62]

you made 605 look like your bitch

[zachnutts]

do u ever keep your elbow tucked in im sure you know what i mean like this you look like your doing a bodybuilding bench press instead of a powerlifitng bench your strength is freaky

[valleyrules]

i force my elbows out to use my chest more. the chest SHOULD be the largest muscles used.

[ron9plus]

This guy is the best bencher on Youtube. Outstanding form, should be an instructor. Keep it up!

[rantanen1]

perfect form, like.. simply perfect

[gangstersau85]

This is one of my favourite vids on youtube.

Need to get some music back on though!

[Flexhandle]

Obviously P.O.D does not enjoy being iconed by the worlds strongest people, they can stick to riding their bmx bikes. I know Slayer would be more than happy!! At least the vid is back.

[valleyrules]

b. - you know i like the slow stuff. i don't cotton to your rock and roll music. how about fergie- big girls don't cry ? perfect.

[valleyrules]

back by popular demand. where did you find it ?

[mikeislarge07]

popular demand is right, I had like twenty emails asking where this vid went...

Apparently P.O.D. doesnt like to share...

And I USE to be a fan...

[valleyrules]

i know i am old and stupid, you will be able to put a new song on sat ? please, no yelling.

[rox31313]

That's some awesome bar control

[wisdometernal]

yea it is. And he's an EXCELLENT breather. Inhales in the descent/exhales in the press extremely well. Even in the light 24 rep set he's breathing through the whole thing. Some of the pros hold their breath too much. Nice work.

[InfusionFotoMpls]

I watch this video before I do my chest workout.. it  is soo motivational!! Same person as MNFinest...

[skybo053]

Best bencher I've ever seen.

[MilliNox69]

You're right... that's fantastic!

[metallicafan53]

Awesome power, like mnfinestdotcom, doin 600 without a bench shirt is unreal. RAW!!!!

[DomoK07]

Unbelievable.... Respect.

[Sarge343]

I've never seen anyone bench 315 with such a good form for so many reps. Respect man!

[mnfinestdotcom]

Far as I am concerned and from what I have seen , You are most definately the strongest man on the planet!!! You get mad respect for not wearing a bench shirt,now that's a display of power!! You don't arc the bar when you lift and actually do a full range of motion, I haven't seen anything close to this!! I'm motivated now!! As for fake plates, I think that is bullshit.. that's a large bench you are on and if you look close , you dwarf the bench.. thanks for the inspiration...

[valleyrules]

please, please tell me you are one of the girls in the promo video.

[funkgoosey92]

Jesus this is legendary...lol

what's your training like?

i.e Bench workout, Squat workout

have you had any shoulder problems from taking a wide grip?

[valleyrules]

check out the new "a day at the gym" vid.

i don't think my grip is over wide, the pain comes from being so F-ing old.

[funkgoosey92]

I just watched the video...all I can say is fuck.

I was viewing a forum earlier this week and a guy (kiddingly of course), said "This is great, but how much can he SQUAT?"

now, he knows the answer lol

I was strongly impressed by your deadlifting of 675 pounds about a hundred times ;D

it's crazy you're still lifting at your age!

I mean, you only look about 32 maybe.

people should call you the real life superman. your kryptonite is old age

stay strong and god bless

- Goose

[alideutscher]

great effort for an "old man"

[HallowedBThyName85]

Holy crap guy, this is impressive. I don't know how many people in the world can handle 405 like it's only 135.

[okichobee]

hi michael this is mat z jane told me about ur videos

[mrbong123]

WOW you don't even arch your back like most big benchers do you should definitely try and beat the raw bench record man

[xmane22]

wow that was a year ago, what are you up to now?

[Flexhandle]

I still like this video the best, just cause that is so much weight moved in one workout, or fake plates if you'd like. I just don't think anyone else right now could do either this work out or 605 x 2 at 250. Thanks for taping WABDLE see ya Mon. Buzzsaw was a nice guy as well!

[Swolegantor]

holy crap. your an ANIMAL

[titan500]

This is incredible how easily you handle that weight. They all looked like warm ups!!

[Randleman2]

amazing at what you can do on only 4 grams of test a week.

[cwfarmeranacondamt]

Did 405 for three yesterday weighing 196, boy do I feel weak after watching your videos,your form is second to none,nice controlled lifts.I'am in total awe, and a little jealous. cwfarmer

[valleyrules]

2x body weight is always good. nice job.

[MightyThor655]

good job man.

[TheRealHonk]

I really hope you'll compete again.

[desembodic]

fake plates, nice try. No I'm not hating, its just a fact.

[mikeislarge07]

you are a dumbass, im not hating, its just a fact.

Honestly how are you still alive with how bad your brain functions.

-THANKS FOR THE MOTIVATION-

[valleyrules]

not the fake plates thing again. i wish they were fake plates, then my elbow pain would be fake too.

[mikeislarge07]

HAHA!

[UsaRulesU]

This guy benches alot more than I do so I'm not gonna be a jealous prick and bash him. I'm the guy who asks guys stronger than me for advice while i watch all the jealous fools still benching a mere 225 year after year. Enjoy benching only 2 plates forever haters!

[PhilM662]

beast.

[stalinforever]

Absolutely perfect bench press form with big weight! Congrats!

[wolfgangle]

most here will never ever bench press 300 for a s i n g l e, now go on with your jealousy :) this is amazing benching 2nd to none

[guitarguy496]

god i gotta give you props for that lift perfect form

one of the only vids on here that the person locks out his bench

[gdgrim]

the best benchpress video on youtube

[PhilM662]

hell yeah it is.

[Flexhandle]

No DISHRAGS!! Still laughing about that. We talked it over, and cannot think of anyone who can do 545x5 at your weight..period, that was fun to watch.

[valleyrules]

you just need a better class of friends. dishrags for everyone ! still mulling over 585x3 or 605x2. at my age there aren't many left.

[Flexhandle]

I agree with predipis92, you are a fat slob but kinda strong. That's o.k., hard work will pay off! Today Mike hit 585x2 freaky easy. I was hoping to see 3 reps but I have yet to see anything like that here or anywhere for that matter. I think most anyone would be taken back by the lifts today. C-ya tomorrow!

[predpis92]

this isnt muscles this is FAT, very bad body but strong.

[mikeislarge07]

haha

wow

if you saw him in person you would think differently, trust me.

[predpis92]

maybe :)

[mikeislarge07]

haha does that mean that you were joking and I know you or something

[ArnoldisMyNigga]

the guy as abs. and veins everywhere so you are probably blind, or jealous probably both

[predpis92]

i dont want to look like him, he is too small. He is ripped? What about his stomach :)

[chemicalwarfare800]

Minnesota Muscle at its best right here.

[Flexhandle]

It would be more impressive to see if you can bench Roth. The most impressive bench here is the 725 raw with the "deadlift" off guy having a stroke moving the weight for Larry McGill. Even the "sidelifters" are heaving! Some of this stuff should really be screened by real power lifters. Good humor though! See ya Thurs.

[Clintsmith721]

is this your normal lifting routine? if not could you please message me or reply with a few routines because i am on the worst plateau of my life ive been stuck on my current weight for two months and i think im starting to move backwards.

[GFOWL25]

GREAT FORM

[melihcancs]

bu göt verenlerin bastıkları iğneleri ben basmış olsaydım 5 seneye kalmaz bu ağırlıkları bıllığımin ucuyla kaldırırdım

[powertotta]

Man..absolutely amazing!!! Best bench i ever see! Congrats from Portugal!

[zenpharaohs]

That's awesome.

[Individuallywrap]

*Takes notes*

[belakjon]

awesome  very nice

[ttraynor1]

Not only is that H-E-A-V-Y--It the best benching form imaginable or seen: Control; Pause; Range of motion; Consistency.....and best of all: NO bench shirt. Brutally beautiful!

[mattboy23]

Jesus man, that 315x24 looked like nothing at all.

[kusernamer]

one of the best forms i fckin seen

The only thing missing here is "pro wrestler talk" like the good ol days. Holy crap Mike, you still 'da man. Yours
