khamzat bench press 110lbs dumbbells casually

[Neck&Neck]

In b4 injury announcement inshallah

 

[KBE6EKCTAH_CCP]

alternating too, that's way harder

As a non lifter this is impressive to me

I'm fairly sure the 50 on the sides of those dumbbells is indicating pounds judging from the size of them. The 40 kg dumbbells in gyms are a lot bigger than the ones he is holding.

This variation is easier because the other hand doesn't stay up. Just try it at the gym tomorrow. Arthur Beterbiev does the same thing but he doesn't rest the db on his chest.

This is probably the hardest variation. This dude is also using circus dumbbells. I don't know why but some standard commercial gym DBs in America are bigger and not ergonomic.

 

[Humongo]

Is this impressive for a fighter? This feels kind run of the mill weight.
i'm also heavily interested in powerlifting and whatnot, so my perception might be thrown off.

I used to be heavily interested in powerlifting (still lift but I consider powerlifting boring nowadays) and whatnot and my perception is that it's solid. Not insanely strong, but very solid for a non lifter.

You have to take into account that he's alternating wich make it harder to balance, and also, each rep is done from a dead stop, not taking advantage of the stretch reflex.

I've never done this alternating shit, but you have to take into account that in the video you linked the guy is taking advantage of the stretch reflex on each rep. Doing it like Khamzat from a dead stop requires more explosive power, while holding it at the top and using the stretch reflex probably requires more stamina.

Those are not 25 kg dumbbells. I exercise with them. He is indeed going for 50 kg.

There is no way in hell a guy with his strength level is visibly struggling with 25 kg dumbbells. I switch between 20kg and 28 kg dumbbells, and I am pretty unexceptional when it comes to weightlifting.

GSP was lifting 120 lbs at one point. 110 lb db presses is an intermediate lift at his weight lol. I guess it's only impressive if you don't actually lift weights for any amount of appreciable time

I'm glad he's lifting tho. A lot of mma fighters and their coaches have BS theories about strength training. Ie it makes you slow, inflexible and doesn't help much in MMA. Even GSP was convinced not to lift weights anymore. Islam coach has said the same thing. I disagree with them. Look at Jon Jones.

Give it a rest you're probably 5'8 and 150lbs what would you know about weight lifting?

Annoying to hear any time there is a thread about strength apparently we got physical monsters in here that could do it easily. When in reality you either obese or a weed.

Dricus is in trouble.

Sounds like somebody is insecure here. Maybe speak to your psychologist about your issues.

Pretty sure 150 pounds is one of the deepest weight classes in the Olympics...

 

[HeadKickerV2]

I have friends who have worked in construction for years... they appear slim/skinny on outside not a lot of muscle mass but they have incredible strength and grip

But sometimes its just genetics

 

[usernamee]

That's strong af for a wirey looking dude that probably does very little db or bench pressing

It isn't exactly a pause rep. He is keeping that dumbbell down as a counter weight. It allows him to be stable enough to press the weight. He doesn't have the strength to press it up if his other hand was up. Seriously go try it in a gym. One variation allows you to explode while the other doesn't.

I am not trying to curse the man but he has amazing joint flexibility/strength to train like this.

 

[Dim1]

That would be table stakes strength for a 185er

 

[AmonTobin]

Ya I think we all knew he was a strong sonofagun. I can’t wait for this MW showdown.

 

[Herwald]

Benching 50KGs in any form is fucking impressive. You guys need to look up the strength of the average man, it's abysmal. This is 5-10% of the entire world area here. and MM fighters aren't really known for their strength, so this does make Zat look very impressive. Especially for a lanklet.

That said, are we sure these aren't 50 LBS dumbbells? They easily could be.

 

[Pequeño Corey]

should I incorporate this into my chest routine? I like varying things up often. I usually alternate between barbell and dumbbell.

 

[dominion]

I wonder how much ddp presses
