Old man benchpressing

[MediaGamerX]

Did i hear norwegian? Viking Power!

[Scurpione]

Old man? You're younger than all those guys, may they be in 20's or 30's, who all they can do is to be in front of a computer screen and lose age and vitality every freakin' year.

[tdgarguile]

just favorited this video because it is truly one of the most inspirational pieces of video out there. I have spinal problems that I was born with and still lift 3-4 times a week to not only strengthen my back like therapy but also to get stronger to prove the point to other yazoos out there that age is just a number and handicaps are just a state of mind... Thanks for posting this because I'm going to use this guy as further inspiration for myself and others!

[StephenAnthonyMusic]

64? I don't think that's so old. Very nice pressing for any age.

[leahcimrac]

Great form. Don't call yourself an Old Man though. Your far better than the roided up muppets I see on youtube and down the gym. Your obviously young at heart and keep it up.

[fckfacenigg]

not bad for an old man lol

[secutorclaudius]

arched back = bad disks? whell, flat back = fucked up shoulders. trust me, grampa has probably been lifting for a long time, he knows what he's doing. most people can't even touch that in their twenties.

[leahcimrac]

@secutorclaudius Well an arched back during a bench press will not cause any back damage as all the stress is on the shoulder, elbow and wrist joints. The reason people arch their backs during bench presses is to change the angle of the press and untilize they pecs to the maximum. Besides an arched back is when the back is flexed forward (not back like it is here) and is usually mentioned when squatting and deadlifting and so on.

[Baller527]

Viagra is a drug , so yes you have took drugs

[himaliya100]

any man that ever tells me that he,or she is to old to weight train,will get a back hander from me....this man shows you that you are never to old...THIS VIDEO IS VERY INSPIRATIONAL.

[LegSpreader1]

My respects to you old man!

[shaunmano]

Guys if i seemed arrogant and cocky with my post I appologize. I am just trying to express not everyone is a fitness oriented wussy man. Some people lift hard and heavy and know what they are doing.

[shaunmano]

Does anyone know anyone that has degenerative disk from bench pressing? Oh he's going to do this, he is going to do that, he needs a spotter. Who was the guy standing over him on that last lift, could it have been a spotter? He knew what he was capable of and when he was not sure, he had a spotter. Just shut up and lift you wusses. Glutes on the bench, slightly arched back, squeezing the shoulder blades together, slow controlled decent, no bouce, pause and back up. Perfect.

[MrMarioevangelou]

that old guy is stronger than like 99% of youths or sommit

[bb0yba0]

im really impressed and he did it with no spotters, which can put him at a greater risk. huge respect man, i really admire your efforts.

[shaunmano]

@bb0yba0 Risk of what? Obviously by the amount of weight this guy is lifting, he is not a novice. I am sure he knows how to get out from under the weight if he can't get it up. Let the weight fall off the bar or do the roll of shame.  Grow some.

[bb0yba0]

@shaunmano letting 200 lbs roll off is gonna be hard, especially for a 68 year old and i wasnt doubting his abilities either. i was simplly saying that having no spotters is less safe than having spotters, i dint say that it was particularyl unsafe for him.

[shaunmano]

@bb0yba0 I Didn't mean to sound so snappy, I just think having a spotter all the time is a little exaggerated. I lift all the time without a spotter although I think the idea of going to failure on every set is ridiculous. Only when I am not sure if I will be able to complete a set or lift a certain weight do I ask for a spotter, which if you notice in the video this guy did. No anger here. Thanks for the reply.

[bb0yba0]

@shaunmano no problem man, i just didnt want to start any useless beef or arguement and wanted to create a clear understanding :)

[soybean70]

Wow! That's incredible! Perfect form to boot

[tazzarman]

So impressed,very good control to,

[sfranklin0440]

I hope I'm benching that still when I'm your age! Congratulations and may God continue to bless you!

[nicolosi83]

@sfranklin0440 exactly my thoughts

[amity678]

Good job

[Andydag904]

I bet this guy is waiting for some young punks to try and beat him up but this guy will rip off his shirt and be all muscle. At that point, everybody will know that they fucked with the wrong guy.

[HATEHACKERZZ]

If u didn't lift your ass off the bench id say wow

[RiseofBane]

not sure if Arnold (as of now) can do that!

[hakkenadventure]

[chainsawmurderer666]

[spartan1081990]

[geemoneyish]

[gdziejestmojpies]

found it it's CeCe Peniston - Finally !

[gdziejestmojpies]

0:45 does anyone know the name of the song?

[Branman1994]

why does an old man listen to hamster techno when working out?

[tempac91]

I think he is speaking the language of the Vikings which makes sense because he also has their strength!

[lokokai200]

verry good, u are much stronger than me, i can also do 150kg in bench but i got bad form =)

[etereo217]

[smt1988]

fair play old man keep it up !

[linkjmf]

[pkedbyafroob]

@peraugust pafetic

[lostda9]

Very impressive I suggest though that u get a different spotter... Cuz that guy just stood there like an idiot

[JoshuaDG2111]

even more impressive is he WORKED up to the 330lbs...so i can just imagine what he'd get if he was fresh....

[skata123456789456123]

@JoshuaDG2111 something like 180 max i think... :) damn, i feel like a wuss now...

[nugebri]

thats awesome bro your my hero



[goshendad]

Great job. Get that spotter to be ready in case you have a problem. You could be dead by the time he takes his hands off his hips.

[omgiheartpie]

5/5

[xramcam]

Viking Power!

[ShookOne92]

Old man still got game

[LegendaryGoetz]

hey nice... dont let people tell you this is bad for you or this isnt your thing... Thats bullshit! Your healthy man, you dont need people telling you this is bad for you. Its good. Keeps your bones in great shape. I just hope 45+ years from now i can see myself doing this.

[ah4fecksake]

powerfull stuff! Age is no excuse anymore.....

[kirkoswald21]

man.. im 24 and i can only bench 110 for 6 reps... this video makes me feel weak :)

[alto141]

@kirkoswald21 probably by the time you respond to this you'll be benching 135

[Tangodanc]

Bravo!!!!When I will be at your age,I wish I have your power!

[Gannondalf]

cant tell, but that looks like an olympic bar... so all those lifts are 20kg heavier than it says! the 120kg looks like 3 x 20kgs on each side... that isnt including the bar!

impressive!

[BFP1]

@Gannondalf

No, the yellow bars are 15-kilo bars

[Jur0]

@Gannondalf You should know if u have been lifting that Black = 10kg. Yellow = 15kg. Blue = 20kg and Red = 25kg. And an olympic bar weighs the same as the others, just that the weight is perfect of 20kg.

[Gannondalf]

@Jur0 nah man the gyms ive been to have just plain black weights with the numbers written on them.

[Jur0]

@Gannondalf Where u from then? These colors are mostly used in EU

[Gannondalf]

@Jur0 australia

[firdaus125]

[soulcarrot]

A credit to bench pressing

[muz1c1smyl1fe]

I've watched a few bench pressing videos on here and this is the most real & best technique i've seen!

[aijazbilgrami]

[boobmasteris]

[jimjemrules]

excellent

[olavht]

artig å finne deg på yt:) god løfting, e d john som sikrer deg?

[RossJacklin27]

Awsome big props!

[mra2z]

Good control, slow decent, excellent form. Better than what I see on a daily basis at my local gym.

[Anarchyffan]

@mra2z Are you shitting me? See the way his back his arched? Wanna know the #1 way to degenerative disks? Arching your back when bench pressing. Good control, terrible form.

[mra2z]

@Anarchyffan Call me crazy, but the New England Journal of Medicine, does not state bench pressing as the #1 enemy of the vertebrae. As a matter of fact they don't mention it at all as a contributing factor to disc degeneration. Weird. Now do YOU "wanna" know the #1 reason for disc degeneration? Hint: It's not benching with an arched back.

[JohnKreeseCobraKai]

Take some drugs you old fuck.

[lemmiwinks48]

Great lifting

[Gibz101]

Hmm, I see fellas twice your size down the gym benching less.

[Mannypacquia0]

@Gibz101 yeah i dont know why when i see these huge ass guys at the gym dont know why i see them benching around like 140-155

[SonsofFeanor]

grandpa gonna kick some arse.

[mightyice2000]

Very Impressive!!!!

[lucasesquina]

[Fazzun]

@lucasesquina hey man, it doesnt mean that always if somebody has got power he is using drugs...

[RawMusclePower]

[henson3260]

You are something special Young Man! Thank You!

[Sirkelsag666]

Norge for faen!

[XxBigR1989xX]

great job old man

[SOUTHEASTKING2]

wow Good shit bro

[kakky231]

for those who don't know the average guy should at least bench 100 lbs. A strong man can 200 lbs. Once you get over 300 lbs. Usually you're an athlete.

[thuglifemanny]

[GutsAnGlory]

He is insanely strong for someone his age and he deserves respect but lifting his back up like that does not demonstrate good form.

[m5471d]

[darsus19]

[bararah]

Impressiv!!

If I manage the same in a age of 20-30 I will consider my self a as strong person , let alone 64..

[justanothersun]

put some weight on it

and get a spotter

see what he can actually lift

[stevenpatrick2]

That was extremely impressive. And I"m not easily impressed.

[otk8963]

Inspiring!!! Strong, you have my full respect!

[noseldnik]

Impressive! Who is this guy? I'd love to talk to him and maybe learn something. I'm an older guy too but can barely get 300 now and then. Not enough info around about 55+ weight lifting.

[jason2009contreras]

Like they say, the older you get the stronger you get. Good job bro!

[KoreanChocoBoy]

Ok.. wth it doesnt stop.. He's got awesome strength

[JoeC4950]

Very Impressive !!!!

[Berus7]

Rarely do I say something I watch on Youtube is truly inspiring, but this is. Thanks for posting and my compliments on your diligence and strength in achieving this. More than impressive!

[Geronimo989]

Resoect! Fight on man!

[IZG]

Absolute respect!!! Very nice benching

[fastandrea]

Astounding! I should have known--another Scandanavian! You people are incredible! What's your diet over there? ( & don't listen to the naysayers that caution about quiting--you have a LOT of mileage left in you!! )

[HHH396]

WOW very impressive! I can only hope to still lift like that when I'm 50 yrs old forget about 64.Like another said...respect!

[TruckerGarth]

i love how he gets to 140kg before he even thinks about havin a spotter lol, well done!!

[gasparfreak]

Respect!

[vtwintora]

Has I get older these are the types of guy's I like to hang around with.

Guy's like that have my full respect and admiration.

I also like the Rolling Stones.

[congiu3]

full respect but just be careful you know you should consider stopping..Tom

[kodijoz01]

Why?

[congiu3]

Because one day it will just fall on your body as you have to accept getting old and you may not....??

[kodijoz01]

I agree, but that could happen to anybody, regardless of age. He also had a spotter, so he should be fine.

[vtwintora]

because it's there

[kodijoz01]

What's there?

[vtwintora]

Willpower.............sorry kodijozo1 a replied too the wrong person.

[bakalakpal]
