Does khabib even lift ?

[Hatorade]

DC said he benches 240 during a periscope interview, which I think that might be his one rep max. He's also stated he can't do pull ups which is actually shocking to me since that's a much more useful exercise than benching.

There is a video of him in the background of an interview repping 225 lb 19 times when DC was in Strike Force. His bench would probably be around 400 or so. He probably meant that's what he works out with or something. Just look at a pic of DC when he first got into MMA. If you're going to tell me that guy couldn't bench his weight, I'm not believing it.

Add to this that DC was a high-level football player I had a full ride to LSU as a linebacker. DC was probably benching 240 and Junior High lol

 

[Human Bass]

He lifts people that doing the best to not be lifted. That is already a great exercise.

 

[dittohead84]

He lifts goats

 

[ejazahmednit]

Only his opponents

 

[Blanqa Blanqua]

I'm trolling you

How the fuck would I know if you have been to prison?

I am going to get on a course of tren, so will be banned soon lol

I look forward to you raging hard on tren then.

Just keep Benoit in mind and know when to slow down or seek help

Yes there's a video of him bench pressing. I think he was lifting about two plates for reps

That looks like 2 25’s, 2 10’s and 2 5’s on each side... 195 lbs total... BUT, he’s probably doing some crazy circuit, or lifting while he’s otherwise exhausted...

They look small, so I don’t think the bigger plates are 45’s, but if so, he’s benching 275 lbs... which would make sense for his top-end.

 

[MMA4Life]

bench press is super useful for grapplers.

stick to WWE.

This thread is classic sherdog. Khabib does strength and conditioning. Yes, he lifts weights. He is ultra talented technically but he also shows up in great fighting shape and he cuts to 155. To the point where if a 165 division was made, I think he could do more than just compete.

And I’m a big Ferguson fan but Khabib has earned his respect from all MMA fans. Biggest question mark for me is if Ferguson can open up a cut or two how Khabib responds and I’m leaning heavily toward he’s a tough fighter and it won’t affect him too much.

 

[Iron Wolf]

Is it (x2) 45's, (x2) 25s and a 10 on each side?

No. I highly doubt Khabib can bench 345 lbs.

I got money on DC being easily able to rep out his weight. Cormier just a few years ago was throwing legitimate HW’s around like rag dolls.

He's built right to bench press a lot for starters. Even if he never lifted (which he obviously has), I still couldn't see him not being able to rep his weight pretty easily, especially when he was in Strike Force and still pretty jacked.

 

[Beherit]

That's it?!? He is struggling with 195 (45lb bar, 4x25lb plates, 4x10lb plates, 2x5lb plates)? I can bench press 225, and I am terrible at bench (I prefer dumbbells and can go up to 100 in each hand).

His form is also poor, arms too far apart. He is terribly uncomfortable, you can tell.

I am sure you would outwrestle him easy too.

 

[Number 8]

I give much much more chance of winning to gabi garcia against khabib than conor

 

[1rawdog]

It's 195 and bench press is useless in fighting

Maybe the strongest grappler ever. He almost had no pecs, probably never benched

Technically you're right lol. The benefits of weights are more for aesthetics rather than functional strength gains.

LOL
This is not the Comedy sub is it ?

No. I highly doubt Khabib can bench 345 lbs.

I wouldn't doubt it, dudes back in HS benched that much weighing less than 200 lbs. Never doubt anyone!

 

[5thDimensionMMA]

He's gotten significantly bigger since the tibau fight , go back and watch that fight and see how skinny he looks.

he was a kid then , now he’s a full grown adult

 

[NorrisB]

No, its (x2) 25's, (x2) 10s and a 5 on each side

Those look smaller than 45s but bigger than 25s, wondering if those are 35s. Only a noob puts weights on like that.

 

[Darkart]

they would make a good couple.

edit:

serious question, can’t he not touch a female per Islam? So could not grapple with her?

I think according to Sharia a Muslim man can rape any non Jewish/Christian/Muslim woman that is not an owned slave of another man without consequence.

i'm pretty sure DC has admitted he's not strong in weight lifting. like he can't lift a lot of weight. i believe it.

i know rugby players who aren't the strongest in the weight room, but on the field they're like running into a wall.

I can't find the video of him bench pressing in the background of a Strike force interview, but if you think this guy has a max bench of 240lbs, you've been eating retard sandwiches. Just watch the way he throws Josh Barnett into the air. There's just no way he's not strong in a weight room as well as on a mat or in a cage. Not only is he pretty jacked, but he's built right to lift a ton in the weight room. Like, if he were to eat everything in site, and take a few cycles of D-ball, he probably puts up 500lbs on the bench in a year or so.

I can believe that. Strikeforce DC had muscle for days. Thick as a cock.
