[accolyte1022]

Let me talk in ur language

No reason to be hostile, my man.

I thought this was FUN. I am NOT making a statement about the benchpress, or NFL combine hopefuls, or bodybuilders.

Bodybuilder had better leverages and better technique. Football player was gripping far too close for optimal leverage given his arm length, and had he bothered to learn proper set up (scapular retraction, etc.) he might have done a bit better. But the guy with the shorter arms generally always has a huge advantage when benching.

Trust me, bro. When I see something wrong, I've got the coconuts to come out here and say. And this goes both here on Sherdog, and out there on the streets as well. Cause, the truth is, nobody else has the nerve, the coconuts to do it.

You take yourself far too seriously.

Or spend far too much time trolling.

Now we all know that dudes have always wanted to have that massive chest and huge arms, so I decided to focus on the grand daddy of strength exercises, which of course is the bench press

Stopped reading here, but don't be offended, it's only because the thread couldn't possibly have gotten any better than that. Hahaha good shit man

Video evidence is more important of how the lift was done and so forth... you tube is more important that writings in a book b/c we can see how I was done and if.

No. Judging from videos is far less accurate than judging by actual qualified judges at a meet. An organization that prides itself on good judging will actually have a panel that you can appeal to and dispute a call. From meets I have judged at I, and others, have noted that the angle at which a video is taken is often hugely different, and gives a different perspective, than the judges will have at a meet. Example: a deadlift may get turned down for soft knees at lockout (secondary flexion of the knees is illegal). When taken from the front or 3/4 front, a video often will not show this.

There are other numerous examples as well.

And, of course, there are plenty of lifts on youtube with fake plates.

A quality meet, with good judges and properly calibrated plates is still the gold standar.

Larry Allen was a frackking beast.

And to his credit he actually showed up at a meet and tried to compete. He could not complete a lift within the scope of the rules.

But he is one of the very few guys who actually gave it a fucking shot instead of just talking a bunch of shit, so serious respect to him for trying.

 

[Final Say]

Oh man, never mind, I kept reading


Hammurabi might be my new favorite poster here. This is gold

Meets allow bench shirts however which is not a legit lift like tank did,which is all natural without the extra help.Is what I was getting at. I think many could tell fake from real plates if the bar is bending.

Raw meets do not allow bench shirts.

Raw meets do not allow bench shirts.

Well without an actual vid we don't know whats what. I would prefer looking myself then someone stating...most ppl don't have legit meets but claims.

 

[Eric Brown]

Yes, we do.

A meet tells you what sort of gear is allowed: Raw, single-ply or multi. And there is a reason why most people do not go to legit meets: they would be exposed (and I rarely use that word) for being full of shit about "what they can bench." Rather like all of the tough guys who talk a lot of shit but never step into the ring or cage.

I coach the curator of Powerlifting Watch, the biggest repository of record-keeping on powerlifting on the net. Let me know if you have any more questions about what we know or do not know.

Only the fucking bench press could produce a thread with this many uses of "bro".

 

[Miiiiiiighty]

Back in the day there was a thread about Lawler benching something like 335 for 10 reps. This was during his first run in the 170 division. Don't know his single rep max but those are damn impressive numbers and quite possible the pfp best.

I remember he was supposed to be benching 400 for 5 reps back in the day but he was a middleweight not a WW then, so probably a strong 200-205 lean fightweight so probably a strong and pretty lean 220 when "walking around" between camps and benching heavy

No fluffing way. He'd be banking money in the NFL instead of making peanuts in MMA.

 

[leatherneck]

Didn't Shawn Jordan bench 500 pounds?

yes, he did.

then he added another 110lbs to it, and benched it again.

 

[ChickenNugget]

So ever since I laid down the case of why exactly Robbie Lawler beat Carlos Condit fair and square and had my, now infamous, come to Jesus meeting regarding the Unified Rules judging criteria, I've been getting alarmingly substantial amount of hate here on Sherdog forums, man.

You get hate because of the tedious, pesky, mind-numbing, soul-destroying way you argue. Don't go around twisting peoples words.
As has been said in the thread you mention, It was me who did the arguing for you. Don't flatter yourself.

And please, think before you answer to this post. We've had the discussion before about how to be respectful and factual without faking stuff with the big words you like to use.

How about biggest rack?

As a former S&C coach, I am well aware of what goes on in college strength training. That being said, really, it is often used only as a prep tool for football players getting ready for the NFL combine. Athletes in true power sports, such as throwers, often rarely flat bench. And even then the 1RM is rarely tested.

We talking squat rack or Miesha's implants?
