http://www.synergy-athletics.com - While at Westside barbell, Louie Simmons introduced us to his bamboo bar. The thing is a beast to stabilize! None of us, Eli, Smitty, or I, were able to get it for more than 4 or 5 reps. Louie got in and banged it out for 30. There is a key tracking to the motion, that we just couldn't hit on our first few tries! Thanks to Louie Simmons for having us for his bench and squat day at Westside! More videos of a spring bar, and HEAVY BENCHING coming up on the next few weeks - SUBSCRIBE!

  • freaky shit joe, scarey lookin...i did these on a texas bar w/the bands and k bells, mouth piece advised!

  • Z- it was crazy. Couldn't stabilize it for anything! I have done them a few times on a regular york bar, which was tough, but nothing like this bamboo stuff! Thanks for the comment.

  • I'm 8 years old and I can bench 3.5 tons and I only live off of bread and water

  • @Maazersmiit It's because the center of the weight is below your hands which allows for the bar to move side to side easily.

  • I love how easy Louie made it look!

  • disturbed all day in there! badass, cool video

  • I know that Louis Simmons is only using 1 kettle bell per side, but he makes the other guys (who probably bench like 600 pounds) look like pussies.

  • Why does it wobble so much? Is it purely because the kettlebells are hanging, or is there some sort of strange flex in the bar?

  • good preseason training

  • looks like these dudes have cerebral palsy lol

  • that looks so fucking hard. good for you guys!

  • shaky
