Teen Bodybuilder 315 lb. Bench Press for reps @ 148

[lightthiscity11]

I finally got my bench up to 315 the other day and I weigh 165 lbs.. fuck man, this is impressive. You're built like a brick shit house at that height and weight haha

Good job Lowell. Your the only guy on YouTube that I have respect for . I hit 370 @150 lbs . I really need to start doing powerlifting.

[LowellG5]

@isidroarreola Thanks a lot man. Thats a real impressive lift. You would do very well in powerlifting. Keep up the good work!

Great powerlifting form! Don't listen to these guys that criticize. Your doing great. The only problem was it looked like you bounce just a little. Not enough to where it makes a lot of difference on your drive. Great set!

[princessbeeutyful]

you dont weight 148 not even havin low body fat would make you look dat big and you tall just with dat height you would weiht more ... your aroun 162 up

[LowellG5]

@princessbeeutyful im about 5'4" bro..i didn't realize that was considered tall these days haha..get your facts straight !

[ianhudon]

grats on your light weight im an heavy weight and can do alot more

[LowellG5]

@ianhudon yea im sure you can man..i bet your bodybuilding and fitness career is way ahead of mine too...judging by your pic you have a long way to go bro..keep working hard...and it does makes sense for a heavyweight to do more than a lightweight..pound for pound is whats important when talking about strength..nice try tho..when you're doing over double your bodyweight come talk to me

[rickalex21]

wow great work :) are you really 148 ? I'm 148 5 ft 3 and i dont look that big.

[LowellG5]

@rickalex21 Thanks..yea my bodyfat is really low, which makes it appear that I am bigger than I actually am.

[rickalex21]

@LowellG5 oh ok , ya thats some power right there man keep it up .

[JOB3AR]

Thats more powerlifting than bodybuilding bro.

[LowellG5]

@JOB3AR I powerlifted before i started competing in bodybuilding. Would never bench press bodybuilder style for reasons stated below.

[sfranklin0440]

Great lifts! I'd hate to see what you could do as a heavy weight! Keep on rippin it up bro!

[LowellG5]

@sfranklin0440 thanks a lot man!

[ianhudon]

lmao no way 148 and poor form btw

[LowellG5]

@ianhudon Bro all you have to do is google me and you will see that i compete as a lightweight..simple as that, so im not even gonna argue...This is the proper powerlifting form for the bench press...back arched and elbows tucked..I would never bench bodybuilding style with back flat and elbows flared because it places way too much strain on the shoulders..It puts your shoulder in a vulnerable position and unnatural position..It also leaves a better chance for a pec tear

[LowellG5]

The people you hear complain about shoulder problems and how the bench press is a dangerous lift, are the ones who aren't doing it properly. Its a strength and power movement use it for what its for. Makes no sense trying to turn a compound movement into an isolation exercise. Once your elbows start droping below the bench at a 90 degrees angle you are asking for rotator cuff problems. Do some research before you critisize. My chest is one of my best bodyparts. The results speak for themself.
