  • never saw the old school guys arch like they do now...what gives

  • I dont think the old school gym guys trained as hard as the new school generation

  • how is wide grip illegal? it targets your pecs more. now whats illegal about this is the arch in his back and how he is humping the weight up

  • Shouldn't the maximum grip length be set based on the size of the individual? A power lifter (even if they're not professional) who is 6'6" and has a wingspan at least that size needs a wider grip to have similar chest:tricep leverage as someone who is only 6 feet or smaller.

    Seems like a ridiculous rule.

  • @alanbell1966 cool story bro

  • @zkyggen their hands are outside the ring on the bar...therefore, illegal...but great for increasing chest strength.

  • I feel bad for you that you have to use that horrible bench. Nice lifting though.

  • @zkyggen there is a maximum grip width that is legally allowed in competitions.

  • Why are they illegal? Wtf?

  • I tried these today and man they are a lot harder than I thought
