Bent Press and more

Old school lifts and old school training. Heavy singles, pushing the limits of the body. This video features an actual bent press, not a side press like most YouTube videos are claiming as bent presses. The weight is NEVER pressed up, instead the body twists and squats under it. Note the height of the bar. It never changes until the arm is locked out and it is time to stand.

jesus christ dude did my eyes mis inform me or did you have 225 on there?

[Bodytribe1]

@ForceBehindTheThrone : That would be something, but alas, I believe the first plate is a 35 pound bumper and the second is simply a 10 pounder, making the total a not-extremely-whopping 135 for the barbell.

NICE lifting but on the bent press stop putting your free hand on the floor,place the palm of the free hand on the opposite thigh. In competition that would be a no lift. Plus your not getting any stronger doing that, may i also say that its braking the rules. Feet only on the floor.

Its habit, using the hand to search for the kettlebell (whether it is there or not).

@Bodytribe1 w/e dude you still got a solid 60 lbs on me, and thats just doing side press, either i havent taken the time to learn the bent press or dont have the stones for it, im still deciding

@oddlift Arthur Saxon too mentions this in his Textbook of Weightlifting and says that by moving your hand to the floor you're changing your balance and setting yourself up to lose control of heavier weights.
