Nice lift , but what does your height have to do with anything ??

[jhor86]

@LRGHMN short people have a shorter ROM, so its easier to move the weight a shorter distance

[ACLincorperated]

suicide grip?

[bcarpenter5252]

@spnova80 nice man, 430 aint no joke

[bcarpenter5252]

@PowerSprinter Thanks man. And you definitely right man, Average height is best.

[PowerSprinter]

@bcarpenter5252 first of all 420 is crazy shit man. and you know what is so funny is that my brother is 5 10 and he hears the same shit from his friends but his wingspan is 6"3', so he literally would stand back to back arms spread out and have longer arms than the people making up the excuses! haha. But it is clear from powerlifting records that average height is best, being 5"4' or being 6"10' both wont help

[bcarpenter5252]

@PowerSprinter i agree a hundred percent. Im about 5'10 and a lot taller people tell me the only reason i bench 420 is because i have short arms, but the truth is because i worked my tail off for years. Hard work pays off

[PowerSprinter]

@n8539454 thats definately true. I am short myself being 5"7 and i must say that it is much much easier for me to be stronger pound for pound. I weigh 168lbs and squat 485, bench 315, deadlift 500. I have some taller people tell me that i am only stronger because i am short, i say thats not true at all. I would be 200lbs if i was 6 feet tall, as i have been liftin for damn near a decade, but i would not be puttin up anymore or less weight if i was taller. i would just weigh more

[PwstPwn]

hate the suicide grip. very baaaaad joojoo. but you're still hella strong for your size. damn nice lift.

[spnova80]

Nice lift ! I'm 5'11'' 215 pounds and i just got 430 up I'm catching u !! lol

[JahrastaAC]

Nice lift!!

but be attentive cause of the thumbless grip.. ;)

[n8539454]

No I wasn't even talking about the whole range of motion thing kidranqex0, all I was saying is that for a taller man with the same musculature as a shorter man to complete the same lift, say a 400 pound bench press, the shorter man's lift is suddenly "more impressive" because of his lower body weight, when really the taller guy just weighs more because there's just more man there, not necessarily muscle mass, but just more stuff

[kidranqex0]

@n8539454 Look here taller people have bigger triceps and making up an excuse like "only because he's shorter it's easier" makes you seem like a loser and is why you will never succeed because you think that it's impossible to succeed.

[VirginTightFade]

@n8539454 yeah, maybe it could be like based on your weight & reach type thing ..

[ZackAmbroseTV]

lol @ the music in the background

[WeightLossLifestyle]

Nice Lift

[n8539454]

Something to add to the height thing: there are all these videos(not this one) out of "315 bench press at 145" and shit like that, but little do we all know, those guys are runts, and like 5'5''. So for taller lifters, their lifts get discredited because their bodyweight is higher than the oompa loompa lifters. There needs to be some standardization of bodyweight, for powerlifting, and bodybuilding in my opinion, cause the tall guys are getting fucked.

[RandarserousRex]

suicide gripping 440. kudos on the lift but you would be so fucked if that slipped.

[mxrio32]

Why gloves? Ha! Where's the chalk? Soft hands I guess..?..?

[finalfanta15]

I got one thing to say, You are fucking crazy to not use a wrap around grip.

[TheYoungShot]

Good lift, don't expect me to put a handicap on you for being semi taller then some other people. That grip you have is a one way ticket to crushing your ribs, just saying...

[st00pidfart]

I like how you didn't bounce it off your chest, nice lift!

[posada37]

@joong6966 Its called a suicide grip because his thumb isn't around the bar, so if your hand slips the bars gunna fall on you. If your thumbs around the bar that cant happen

[MrRepitbig]

@jhor86 Well Said, Thank You. Check My Vids Out.

[liteweightbaby22]

good hit

[will5125]

Looks pretty fake to me, when he re-racks it.
