I have a question. What exactly does arching your back like that do to help? I don't understand what it does to help a bench.

[EricLilliebridge]

@BRonny70

Keeps you tighter on the bench and squeezes your shoulder blades together and helps you incorporate more muscle groups into the lift like your lats. Also decreases the range of motion on the lift and takes a lot of stress off your pecs vs benching flat back.

[ascassady]

Jesus Christ at the fucking haters on this board. If you are a recreational curl bro who benches with a flat back in the gym once a month, for the love of God, shut the fuck up. He's using absolutely perfect, textbook powerlifting form.

Dude, absolutely sick power. Great work.

@ascassady

agreed lol.. but most of these ingorant retards on here are clueless about powerlifting form and technique... it's taken me so many years of training to finally get my form down perfect on all 3 of my lifts.

What hurts the most the next day your "chest" or your "back" haha . But cant get it away from you your strong but that thing your doing with your back and feet is no good dude .

[EricLilliebridge]

@MrMeanley

I actually don't have any pain at all. The only thing that ever "hurts" my back would be near limit deadlifts or squats. And thanks for the information on the bench dude i had no idea you knew so much!..... when you're ranked # 2 in the nation in your weight class then maybe i'll think about listening to some advice from you.. haha.

[MrMeanley]

@EricLilliebridge Right i am 21years old 154lb and my best bench is 375lb ! That means pound for pound i am stronger than you and "drugfree" ! Your 260lbs ! .

And not only that but my dad who is now 59 years old also did 507lb bench press RAW at 56years old after having a heart attack 3 years before and lung disease and now he is 59years old and still got 485lb up . Go fuck your self mate your a cheater fucking back is arched that much you can build a fucking house under it

[6453bianchi]

Good lifts man. Your a young dude so be careful with this shit. And whatever you put into your body. Impressive.

YEAH FEAR FACTORY

[hydespro]

@MrMeanley Rightfully impressive, but think about this: thousands of people know the name 'Eric Lilliebridge' and even more know of the Lilliebridge family....Who knows your name?

[hydespro]

@eyeofth3b3hold3r Bodybuilders do not do it like that...Bodybuilders ar concerned with muscular hypertrophy and symmetry, there they want a full range of motion allowing maximum coctraction. Powerlifters are concerned with positioning their body's (different for each person) for the best leverage and 1RM strength (typically shortest ROM)...

[talder123]

@EricLilliebridge lol love the sarcasm. like most of these "youtube experts" accomplished enough to give advice.

[TheMightyClaybear]

@MrMeanley Do you want a motherfucking cookie asshole?

[eyeofth3b3hold3r]

@BRonny70 Once you get the form down it makes it easier. Typically your lower pecks can move a lot more weight. At tons of competitions this wouldn't be allowed. Also, only body builders do it like this. Pro NFL players and other athletes do not bench like this.

@ldbaker42 Sounds me baker you dont no anything about bench press and pound for pound lifting . MrMeanley's channel has a 59 year old man lifting 507lb//220kg , and a 11stone//154lb man lifting 375lb//170kg . what videos do you have ?? what benchs have you done ?? thats right fuckall !!!

[ldbaker42]

@MrMeanley Want a cookie? Nobody cares what you are lb for lb, and good luck ever getting close to 260 lbs. People want to see big numbers, not a 154 lb french fry. Keep on taking your cell tech "MrMeanley, maybe you'll hit a solid 175 one day, don't forget your nitro tech to stack with.

[ldbaker42]

@EricLilliebridge Epic, get em Eric !
