350 Pound Bench Press (Raw With Powerlifter Back Arch)

350 Pound Bench Press (Raw With Powerlifter Back Arch)

118 pounds over my bodyweight.

Bodyweight: 232 Pounds
Height: 5'7

I can officially bench press over 1.5 my Bodyweight

232 x 1.5 = 348 Pounds

Bench Press 2009 Goals:

First goal: 365-375 pounds

Second Goal: 385-390 pounds

Third Goal: 400-405 pounds

What weight do I want to e when performing these lifts, around 210-200 pounds if I can shed that much, but even if I don't I just want to hit at any bodyweight.

For those of you guys who think arches are cheating and do not find them impressive, check out my 320 bench press, in that video I perform that rep with a flat back.

good lift. its a little easier for him due to short arms and a large stomach but good lift. use what mcd's and god gave you.

[WeightLifterNerd]

I arch my back that is why my stomach looks big, I don't eat eat mcd's, and since this video i have lost weight and trying to get lean again, but even guys fatter then me got to work there butts off to be strong, and eating mcd's won't make you strong, you still have to eat fairly well. Nothing I can do about my arm length, I can't magically grow them to be longer to make the lift more challenging, but hey being taller is an advantage in other sports like football or basketball it balances out.

you need to arch more. your hands need to be wider. you need to tuck your elbows more. put your feel flat on the floor and alittle farther out so you can use leg drive too. im doing 500 at 290

[WeightLifterNerd]

This video was old, I grip 29.5 inches now, I do tuck in my elbows now, and that is as much as I can arch.

@WeightLifterNerd im not sure how many inches apart. but i put my fingers on the markers. then you need to work on your back to get that arch higher. its not hard to do, use pvc pipe

[WeightLifterNerd]

its pretty wide if you look at some of my more recent videos, I think the widest you can grip in most feds is 32 inches, depending on what barbell I use, my fingers may be completely outside the rings, or two fingers inside the rings or outside the rings.

@WeightLifterNerd dude's just being an asshole. nice lift, you and i are pretty close in size so i appreciate what you accomplished. my bench sucks, maybe you can give me pointers.

[xBiGxKiNGx]

@WeightLifterNerd the fed im in its fingers on the rings is as far as you can go.
