he had a good arch and feet planted strong i dont see how this was a half press. the only aid he had was the shirt. he brought the bar down, halted, and locked out like you should
My guess is that his raw bench is around... 500lbs tops. Still, the ability to do a partial bench (which this was) with 837 and lock it out is impressive. I just find it annoying what passes as a legal bench these days (huge arch, feet not flat on the floor, bench shirt that does all of the work at the bottom, wrist-wraps like a mummy, three total inches of bar travel, etc.) Anyway, it was a good spectacle.
The bench shirt doesnt do all the work, although it does privide alot of pop from the bottom, and that was not a partial bench. It is powerlifting, you want to find the most biomechanicallt advantageous position.
i don't know ... seems shirted benches are cheap, but at least you did a real good job on lockout and you halted nicely at the bottom of the concentric phase. Id like to see your raw bench, im guessing it's around 650-700, which is unbelievably strong, perhaps in the top 10 in the world or something, but man your still a beast, good lift.
wtf was he doing at the start?
