Media pavlovich doing bench press

[Dana's Moonface]

Lol didn't touch his chest with a competition pause. Weak. Probably pulls sumo too

Why is Jason Blaha wearing a wig??

Guys like Pudzianowski are pretty rare and yet he still weighed 320 pounds during his strongman career. A heavier/bigger dude that trains similarly to a smaller guy is going to lift more than the smaller guy. It’s not that complicated.

Pudzianowski had great genetics to be lean, his father was a Weightlifter and very lean

I competed as a powerlifter and did a little strongman novice at a time. I chatted to Terry Hollands on occasion and he said Mariusz ate what he liked. He sometimes ate even 2 or 3 mcdonald's in a single day while they competed and loved chocolate

Obviously he didn't live with Mariusz to see how he lived 24/7, bur from what he heard,his diet was no better than the other guy's. He just had better genetic when it came to staying lean and he did do more cardio training also.

In b4 powerlifting fans tell us how he is not that strong.

Former powerlifting competitor, he is strong

Fighters don't need to bench 500 or deadlift 700

So you are willing to be obese to lift more weight ? What do you get for it

Anyways I got dubbed for gender slurs, this my last post.

Sherdog is a hole. You wasted my time enough. Bye logged off forever. You'll miss me.

Like who the hell posts in 2023 on sherdog.

We could be doing better things.

Happy gendering to you folks.

much clearer image than I saw in the vid
What about the little weight with clasp? Those probably make it 300

Lockjaw clamps around 6 oz each. or less than a pound for the pair

That’s actually pretty good, looks like he’s using pretty restrictive form and doesn’t look like he’s struggling from the gif I can’t see the video though.

That isn't true. The biggest benchers in the world have very high bodyfat. I am not saying they don't have muscle either. A trunk also shortens the range of motion for the bench. You need to be heavy to support that weight. Go look at the biggest benchers in the world. They are fat dudes. Jimmy Kolb is like 5'7 and more than 300 lbs. Maddox is like 400-450 lbs. Rae-Ann is an obese lady.

Being lean isn't optimal for heavy lifting unless you are within a weight class. There are some outliers but they are definitely not the norm.

So whats the science on how extra fat, that literally puts you in the obese category, can make your muscles lift more? Your fat got muscles in them now? For every obese lifter you can find one that isn't obese.

You keep bringing up the obese aspect of it. You could have a 350 pound 4% body fat person but that’s not likely even in professional athletes. Bigger people just have more mass period and not all of it is fat. This is helpful for powerlifting. Some people are genetic freaks that don’t gain any fat but most people don’t fall into that. Being bigger also shortens your range of motion particularly on the bench. There’s a reason Olympic weightlifting has weight classes. Surprise surprise the higher bodyweights lift more weight.

I just named 3 people that hold the current bench record. How many non obese people on that list? Let me bring up the past 5 world record holders for biggest bench press.
Equipped
Jimmy Kolb- high body fat
Bill Gillespie- high body fat
Tiny Meeker- high body fat
Ryan Kennelly- high body fat
Will Barotti-high body fat

Raw
Julius Maddox- high body fat
Kirill Sarychev- high body fat when he broke the record
Eric Spoto- Guess what? high body fat
Scott Mendelson-Again you don't see a trend?
James Henderson- Oh no what a coincidence. Another high body fat guy

You can look at the strength sports. Mass moves mass.

 

[Sgt Smith]

This vid has me wanting some bumper plates though, damn things LOOK heavier than their Olympic iron counterparts lol, the 10s look like my iron 45s lol

That's why CrossFit loves them.

It's stupidly noticeable on the bench press I've noticed. It doesn't take much extra weight to feel like you're 10 times more stable on the bench and have a much more solid base to press off.

 

[dalegordon]

How many reps though? Also he probably don't lift weights seriously

 

[Clark Rogers]

Also he probably don't lift weights seriously

295 isn't elite, but you don't get there playing, even if you are 200+ lbs.

Elite or not, 300lbs is 300lbs, you don't bench it if you aren't serious about training.

Fat don't lift weights. Its muscle. But for those guys, its 99% the roids. Another trustabro science expo by you. Being fat don't make them lift more.

Bc homegurl was making the point that obesity helps you lift more. I'm saying the muscle is what makes them lift more not the excess fat which homegurl is saying. It don't matter what you are, but say you bench x lbs at 8% body fat. Coming in at 30% body fat with the same exact muscle mass isn't going to make you lift more. That is homegurls whole premise, that the extra fat will make you lift more even with the exact same muscle mass.

 

[Frode Falch]

It's not that the fat help, it's that the diet restrictions needed to be very lean are not optimal for pure strength.
There is a reason strongmen aren't shredded.


You must be a BJ black belt with a neck that strong.

I never said those people don't have muscle. They have very high bodyfat percentage. You can see people prepping to break bench records. Guess what? They get "fat". They don't get lean.

Now you want to bring in steroids? The sport isn't a clean sport but this isn't a game of whoever uses the most steroids win. That is another silly notion from you. You really think any schmo can just hop on gear and break records.

Most people are going to struggle to continue to put on muscle without adding fat hence the “obese” power lifters. It’s a trade off. Fat isn’t the most effective way to get strong, you’re right. But at the same time an untrained 280 pound overweight 14 year old is going to be able to bench a ton more than a untrained 130 pound string bean 14 year old just based on having the added mass.

 

[Cartiac]

Noone else watched the other lifting clips included in that story? The bench video is fine 295 is heavy, these guys aren't power lifters. I'm not trying to hate but trying to understand why he would post those other two clips. Those Romanian deadlifts and chest supported db rows really do look weak.

I have never been close to his size or would ever be mistaken for a professional athlete but at his age I could do those lifts with more weight and control than he is showing in those clips. I think those clips do significant damage to any chance of attracting Jon Jones' attention. It really doesn't look like Sergei is used to lifting.

On the other hand, I remember watching Massthetics videos many years ago of young, skinny Jon Jones coming into their gym and pulling whatever weight they had on the bar at the time, that was at least 600lbs, off the floor with no warm up or technique showing pretty insane natural strength.
