@MrNatty513 dude, he was like 1 inch off from the chest... and everyone has their own preference of form, there is no exact science that determines whether one's form is bad or not, but if going by your standards that you havto touch chest then sure take 10-15 lbs off his max for your jurisdiction.. hopefully it makes you feel a little better about yourself.
@wwwpeterfevercom The real question is, why don't you? All you did was a partial rep, not a full movement. Post a video of you touching your chest with no bounce, and then I might be impressed. But you and I both know that you can't.
@Snarfdmypants You're an idiot. No one on the planet squats "atg". Find me a video of someone squatting heavy where their ass touches the ground. Secondly, I squat at or below parallel always. I don't need to "atg" given that it's not possible with weight. And I'm betting you don't either. If you do, please post a video of you doing so. Hell, even squatting so that your hamstrings touch your ankles is pointless. Going slightly below parallel is all anyone needs to do.
Funny to see all of the comments on how amazing that was, but you didn't touch your chest. I'd guess you might only be able to bench 335 if you touched your chest (what an actual bench press entails). I'll quote the Wikipedia page about what constitutes a bench press, "While on his or her back, the person performing the bench press lowers a weight to the level of the chest, then pushes it back up until the arm is straight." You're short changing yourself big time with the approach you've taken.
@apocea Pretty funny that you quote Wikipedia. You do realize how Wikipedia works, check out their front page, "Welcome to Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit." I can go in and change the definition tomorrow, but it doesn't make it true. Don't be a hater.
@wwwpeterfevercom I'm very aware of the ability to edit a Wikipedia article, and I even figured that you might respond with that argument. So, I have a peer reviewed, scholarly article which explains in detail why a partial ROM bench press results in much higher numbers (10.7%) with maximal efforts. Based on that figure, your true max would be around 345. However, that is assuming you have trained full ROM prior (withing 4 weeks). So now tell me how your way is right for all situations?
I can understand doing partial ROM to increase strength in that ROM to overcome lockout issues, but to claim that your max is 385 while only performing 75% of the ROM is misleading to those who look to you for advice. It's almost like the steroid users in BB magazines giving training advice to natural lifters. Here is the link to the article: biodensity(dot)com/Research_files/Comparison%20of%20Strength%20Differences%20Joint%20Action%20Range%20of%20Motion.pdf
@apocea - First where do I say my way is right in all situations? You are the one who started writing comments on my page, remember? If you don't agree, I don't really care. As for your peer review, I can give you 20 other "peer" reviews that all say something different. Let's just say, we agree to disagree.
@wwwpeterfevercom Can you really? I challenge you to even find a single peer reviewed article (based on the way you quoted peer, I'm guessing you don't even know what it means) that supports a partial ROM bench producing the the same and or lower numbers than you might get if you were to have done a full ROM.
As for why I commented on your video: It appears that people look up to you for advice, so I decided to interject when that advice will be directing them to perform an exercise incorrectly.
@BuddyJimiGuyHendrix If the poster of this video didn't delete my other comment, you would have seen the link to the articles I posted. However, you are incorrect no matter how you spin it. Going to 90 degrees is just past the half-repetition point. Find a single power lifting federation that would count such a bench press as a completed lift. I'll save you some time, and let you know that you won't be able to.
@apocea No I didn't delete any of your comments. I felt sorry that you only had 4 subscribers, so I thought I would leave them up so maybe someone else could subscribe...eventually.
@wwwpeterfevercom If you truly believe that I am concerned with how many subscribers I have on YouTube, then I feel sorry for you, because that tells me that you measure your self worth in life based on how many people have decided to follow you on the internet. Anyhow, you most certainly did delete at least one of my comments, because the posts with links to relevant articles have disappeared.
@wwwpeterfevercom After looking closer, it appears I was wrong about you deleting my comments (I'll admit when I'm wrong, unlike you about your lifting technique). Since I rarely use YouTube or comment for that matter, I did not realize that some of the comments were hidden until I clicked "show all"... However, there is a very good post I see just below this one.
anthor no-clue'er 90 degree'er im surprised people get to such heavy weights with that old, primitve incorrect thinking that you should only go 90 degrees and not touch ur chest. benching like you usually leads to shoulder problams and injuries for the smaller guys..
You can definitely handle that! But I hope next time you get a friend in there to help you just incase something goes wrong. How many times can you lift it? 10, 20?
No spotter!!!???

@Snarfgmypants Beyond that, your back comes out of alignment significantly, and at heavy weight you really risk a long term injury.

@brettenator I agree. He doesn't seem to see why this is not an actual bench press. It more closely resembles a board press without the boards.

@apocea actually, a correct bench press if at 90 degrees, going further can/will hurt your shoulders
