good stuff man..bottom line is you were able to control all that weight, like ilnn408 mentioned, some form is going to be sacrificed, shit everyone does a little something out of the norm when you're going for your max, not many people in this world cant even bench that, even when they're using drugs, you're all natural, i give you mad respect! keep it up big man! hopefully you're a trendsetter for these juiceheads
This is a max rep dumbasses. Of course form is going to be sacrificed a little to get the lift. He's not working on his chest, he's stimulating it to produce max force. Go back to your 25 pound chest flys pussies.
@NASAKYCHAIRMAN wow thats some serious power 500 raw with no help, no drugs, wow im a personal trainer and i am thoroughly impressed, what supplements do you take?
Very nice! I don't care if you did bounce it a little bit, I mean holy crap it's 500 freakin pounds! Great lift and don't worry about all the haters, they were all wackin their pud while watchng this vid. Great job and keep up the good work!
Roids, Roids, Roids. its obvious, cindering its Raw. even if hi is short, with a big ribcage, Ive Sean body builders that trained over 10 years and they could never break 360, I mean 4 god sakes the world record was 361 back in 1898, before steroids were ever invented 4 higher goals. but I do believe 500 can be done without roods if mr. short and stock, suites up tight enough. Im not saying that 350 is an overnight thing, but to take it to the next levle. Good luck with out the 2.
god lift bro i got 415 up 2 months ago..they have this dude i met at this football combine in dallas he's 16 years old and benches 515 i kno wtf is his parents feeding him his name is Samuel harvill
Yes,I'm sure. Just like how Larry Allen can bench press 700? That's a joke. Claims like that is why nobody takes football players benches seriously. They make the same claims at my school, and yet i hold the record and they don't. If they were really strong, then they would break mine. Regardless, congratulations on your 415 and to this guy on his 500, but I'm sure if somebody at 16 could really bench 500+, then he would enter a competition? I forgot, that's not his thing though.
lol wow dude, GREAT JOB!!! anyone that acusing you of bad form is just stupid. just remember this " they got the talk, but you got the walk, and then some".lol
why talk crap about a man bench pressing 500 pounds just because he didn't do it perfect?? my god its 500 pounds.. i have known JT for a while through forums. and his lifts at meets speeak for themselfs. he is in the top 5 benchers in the nation for his weight class..
You are a joke! I watched your bench press video and almost laughed to death! You struggled bench press 100 for 11 reps. I can curl 110 for 21 reps! So, next time you try to accuse me of cheating, why don't you stop embarrassing yourself with your weak vidoes!! Also, I guess you didn't see my other videos of me bench press an unequipped national record of 491 and 562 equipped bench press!
@NASAKYCHAIRMAN i saw his video and it was absolutely hysterical. i'd like to see that bitch bounce that weight off his chest.. he just looks like a sagged up guy.. regardless.. nice bench.. im on some usp labs supplements and they are amazin.. and it looks like its helpin you too
utopianvirtuoso you are a fucking idiot! you are suppose to arch your back; it is easier to bench heavy weight...but you wouldnt know, benching 100lbs.....
you are a fucking looser man, the man just benched 500 give him a break. you would not know how to bench properly since you can only do 100lbs you idiot
Dude, he's maxing, ofcourse he utilizes the form which enables him to press that much weight. He's not trying to isolate his pecs, if he was, MAYBE then you'd have a point.
@utopianvirtuoso dude dont talk shit bout what you dont know. trainers encourage people to let it bounce off their chest. and when you bench heavy your supposed to arch your back. Man dont talk shit bout what you dont know.
Great job bro...although, I am surprised that you bounce the bar (a little) considering you are a competitive powerlifter. I would have thought you would be training with paused reps, or at the very least, strict reps with no bounce at the bottom.
Cyrus did 501 with a slight pause...although, I think you have a higher competition bench thus far.
Either way...great job here. Crazy power! 5 stars man.
This rep is made the easy way..now try making it the normal way...small stop at the chest without that huge bounce..and then up..if you do 400 its good already..
Doing that rep bouncing like that isnt something to be proud...without the bounce the bar would stay glued to the chest...
If it's truly drug free it's an amazing lift..When you consider that 90%+ of the top lifters are drug users,this is an impressive feat..I saw Dennis Cieri(whom I think is drug free)lift 515@203 bwt raw..I'm so fed up with steroid users with mediocre work ethic and genetics gain 25-75lbs on their bench in a matter of weeks..Good lift..
Yes, I'm 100% drug free and have been tested several times by NASA and USAPL! One of my goals is to let lifters know that you can lift big weights and be drug fee.
awesome, wish i was strong as you. I'm just starting out but my results are coming ever so slow, I guess genetics plays a big part of how strong you get and how quickly u get strong..
Stick at it. I gave up several times. If I kept going who knows how strong I could have been. Use your mind as much as your body!!1 I'm just starting again at 45 and I'm stronger than I ever was.
dude that was a great lift. Just a question though. In a sanctioned competition don't u have to pause press it. No offense but your bounce was pretty big. But still great lift. 200 more pounds then I can do
I'm just trying to show the Powerlifting Community that you can lift big weights without any illegal supplement. I truly believe that beginning lifters need to know this.
Good gym lift but take away the bounce and add a pause like you would need in a sanctioned drugfree raw meet and you might have a 450,still a good raw lift!
I have been competing for 14 years. When I first started competing, I weighed 160 & bp 320. Now, I weigh 220 and bp 562 in an Inzer Single plyRage X or 500 unequipped. Also, I'm drug free too!
Bounce? You people are bitching about bounce? He pushed 500 friggin pounds. Of course I'm sure the internet tough guys on here can all bench 550 with a pause raw with one eye closed and no underwear.
Great lift JT. Keep feeding on that negativity. Great great lift.
Your black and you have good geneticks that is one reson that I belive that you are drug free! In the competition that rep is not form plus and you know that:) Keep going i wish you sukcess
I've used a pretty neutral grip but began to plateu. Whenever I workout I feel the burn mainly in my triceps. Recently I changed to wide grip and "slower"lifts and still I don't feel the work out as much in my chest. Any suggestions?
wow, this is a true milestone in a lifters career. I know you've worked extremely hard to achieve this! Now sit back and enjoy some eggnog, lol! Merry Christmas and congrats!
