Media pavlovich doing bench press

[Ibm]

Hes doing it like its air, Im sure his 1-rep is probaly 450

 

[Ballsaque]

Usually lift this with me caaak in the leg extension rack.

 

[Number 8]

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

That's my lateral side raise weight, for warm up.

 

[BluntForceTrama]

How is being punched by Pavlovich different than assault with a deadly weapon.

seeious question

 

[dalegordon]

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.

Well your preaching to the converted tbh if your 260 and look like pavlovich, you clearly do some sort of weight training. I'd imagine he plays around with it to look good, holds no advantage to his martial arts. 300lbs is very heavy no doubt, I think at his weight, size and muscle it's very conceviable he trains inconsistently and still can bench it. However if he don't train weights often I doubt he could rep it say ten times for example. That's why I asked how many reps

 

[Carlos Calderon]

I usually bench that with one hand as a warm up.

Any video?

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.

Physics? Mass moves mass...not the fat but weight in general...when you get big some of it is going to be fat

 

[Osculater]

He reps the 275lbs

 

[warriorfan808]

I’m sure he can bench more than that. Probably doing some cross fit shit

 

[krelianx]

Lame. That's what Conor lifts in the bathroom with his penis.

Thats not how any of it works. And if that is true, then using your fuck'ed logic, the more mass you have, the more it hinders you on bench press and squats. So how these obesities gonna lift more just because of fat? I'll wait for more than a trusta old wives tale science.

 

[checktheknuckles]

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.

Yeah but we ain't talkin about that. We talking about Pav lifting weights and some obese college lineman. Even though there are plenty of examples of college football players who can bench 220 over 30-40 times, but dude had to use the ole fat lineman for his example. Muscle mass the same, except one example body fat is 10% and another the body fat is 30%. that 20% extra fat isn't going to make you stronger. Last I checked, you lift with muscles not fat.

 

[checktheknuckles]

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.

Roids absolutely lets them win. Take the roids from them and they puny little manlets.

Ok what you're saying makes sense but there's something to be said for having that powerbelly to help you get some traction during a log press or a power clean.

 

[KillerIsBack V2]

You can see a lot clearer in the video.

End plate is 10. Inner plate is 45.

4 45's
2 25's (unconfirmed)
2 10's
45lbs bar

45x4=180 25x2=50 10x2=20 180+50+20+45 = 295lbs

Excellent comment

Yeah it is..anybody who has lifted seriously knows that during a bulk your lifts go up, especially bench..

That cant be attributed to muscle because a week or two of bulking isn't enough to gain any significant muscle

 

[Pancake Sprawl]

Yeah I'm sure the fat is what is making these guys get all those gains, just like that acai juice.

Now imagine how much better the goat would have been if he took you kiddos advice and got fat as fuck.

so because 1 guy wasn't fat that's enough proof it doesn't work? what about every other strongman winner who WAS fat? there's a lot more fat winners than there are ripped ones. the irony is, Mariusz was never the strongest in the world. he was the fastest and had better cardio contextually than the other strongmen, but was he EVER the STRONGEST? no. it's clear he wins because of all the loading events and "for reps" events they had in his time, but if you watch any static strength event for max weight, Mariusz almost never won those events. you know who won them though? guys like Glenn Ross. who used to look like this:

when he was a bodybuilder, and then turned into this when he became a strongman:

Mariusz' build not being made for strength is even more clear when you realize he never won an Arnold's EVER and his closest finish in 3 tries was 4th. why is this proof? because Arnold's classic has always been more about heavy weight than it was about speed and efficiency like WSM is. it's why behemoths like Brian Shaw like the Arnold's over WSM. because in Arnold's speed and cardio are secondary to pure brute strength, that's why they have so many static events like log lift for max, circus dumbbell for reps, max deadlifts, and heavy yokes. you can't win by just running faster or by doing more reps because the implements are so incredibly heavy you can only do a few reps of an implement and have to have enough horsepower just to get their enormous cumbersome yokes moving that having the strength to lift/move the yoke is more important than how fast you can move it a lot of the times.

i'd also like to add that Zydrunas Savickas is considered the GOAT over Mariusz especially in terms of strength. guess what he looks like?

Bulking up don't mean getting obese. It means eating more to pump out more muscle. It don't mean eating 3 tubs of ice cream every meal and gaining 25% in just fat. And the bulking up is actually building more muscle. Holy fuck you keep outing yourself as a newb.

 

[Donnybat]

Not touching the chess.

Sherdog account revoked.

Do the arghche Baba!

 

[checktheknuckles]

Oh wow dude because obese when he went to compete in the strong man. Instead of starving your self for a bodybuilding competition, you mean you tell me he didn't do the same for the strong man, which isn't judged on physique?

But you goofs keep forgetting to explain how having an extra 10%, 20%, 30%, etc body fat is supposed to make you lift more on bench press?

But why these guys not obese? You should tell them to go obese and get 2x the gains from just the obesity alone.

Oleskii Novikov

Just the top 3 of the 2023 strongman, but how that 20% extra fat gonna help them lift more again?
