Seeing that smaller guy bench 600lbs at the beginning of the vid is really inspiring to a small guy like me

@CassOnCall I think bench pressing this way is the best for athletics. You're pushing with your entire body, even your legs, as opposed to a bodybuilding style bench press where you pretty much just have chest+triceps working. So this will build way more strength, since you're using more muscles. I guess if athletics are your goal though, you won't have to arch your back as much as a powerlifter, since that is more about decreasing the range the bar has to travel, but you should ask a pro :).

What song is being played at the beginnig?

These powerlifting gyms have true workout music!

@C0nstellati0ns Does it matter?

@finthallon Not in a normal powerlifting gym. In a fitnessgym he's probably the biggest there is.

@BeefyDrew Small? That guy is pretty damn big if you ask me.

[CassOnCall]

I do wonder if there are perhaps better bench techniques out there for cross-over into athletics...
