Media pavlovich doing bench press

[Travis Alexander]

For his size this isn’t that impressive. It’s harder with his long arms but it’s nothing crazy imo… not that fighters really need to bench a lot.

I hope that is his warm up set. This is a pretty pathetic weight. Even the weakest Sherdogger is able to rep for at least 50 times

Looks like 295lbs, it's what I use to warm up.

You mean, that's what we all here use to warm up.

 

[blewgums]

About 4,800 pounds.

So not even close to what the average sherbro can bench.

Not impressed.

How much is Pavlovich lifting on the bench press?

No spotter.
Confident Power.

And not one rep was done that day.

Also it appears to be 295, but not totally certain.

Lmao the rep is fine. You don’t always need to smash the weight against your chest for it to count.

We've learned time and time again that bench press stats don't win fights. Yet for some reason men are obsessed with bench press.

Plenty people can bench more than him, but very few of them would even be competitive in an actual fight.

Bench press is not more Alpha than having the ability to cave another man's head in with your bare fists.

You're understating the amount.( (3x45) +15)×2, add 45 for the bar.

One thing I can guarantee, those ain't 45 lbs plates.

Bench press directly correlates to the ability of caving said head in. Add in the skill of proper shot placement ...

Could be doing a Spoto Press as well. Excellent accessory lift to make your bench bigger. You're supposed to stop 3-4 inch off the chest and it helps build strength off the chest

I don't think that's 340, but it's hard to say I'm not familiar with the bumper plates he's using and can't read them.

IF the two biggest on each side are 45lbs, those and the bar would be 225lbs. The four smaller plates aren't taking that to 340, so I'm thinking 295 as well.

Respectable, more than 95% of the species, but honestly nothing to phone home about for a HW that lifts.

Yeah you got college football players lifting 225lbs like 40+ times. Pav should be doing 20 reps at 295.

 

[fizzlehiss]

Very impressive. Having a fluid functional body and lifting heavy is really impressive. Most heavy lifters turn out to be quite weak in dynamic situations.

 

[jeff7b9]

So how big do you think the plates are? Looks like 4 45s, 2 25s and 2 10s

Plus 2.5 each for the clamps = 300lbs


(As I am assuming there is a reason the red things are on the end instead of a regular butterfly clip)

 

[Dana's Moonface]

Probably in kgs, which is 130kg, providing the large bumpers are 20s and not 15kg

My gym has 15kg bumpers that look.just like 20s

 

[humdizzle]

whats more impressive is that he's not using gloves

Just imagine if Pav trained properly and dedicated more time to bench press?

Guys doing that many reps at 225 are typically still way heavier than Pav. That’s lineman reps normally

Appears to be 3 big plates on each side(6x45), one big skinny on each(15x2), one small on each(5x2) plus bar and cuffs(45+5) ... about 360 (maybe 380 if both big skinny are 25)
