Media Sage casually benching 405

[dc007]

He didn’t even grind it out… that was a very easy rep from a 1 rep max standpoint

Yes, if it is his 1RM. Not sure it is. But he still pushed pretty hard. It wasn't easy weight for him.

 

[GordoBarraBJJ]

I honestly don’t think he is. He was jacked as fuck while he was being tested. His dad was a legit bodybuilder, he has insane genetics.

He's in One FC.

Cracks me up that anytime someone has a great physique and can bench a lot people immediately jump to steroids.

Anyone who has lifted seriously in their life knows that you can get pretty fucking cut and strong without roids. As an example I was about 135 in college and maxed out at 265+ on numerous occasions while being extremely cut with little fat. This was done without any gear. Just used a weight gainer that had protein and creatine. Some people just have the genetics that are built for this shit

I did this with a pause about 5 years ago...was significantly fatter though lmao.

Impressive being that lean, but can't help think his time would be better spent getting better at MMA than building a strong bench.

Is he still an active fighter tho?

He had his face broken 2 years ago just to try a comeback and be KOed by Covid.

 

[r-harper-1]

Impressive ......off topic but I wonder if I’d do better with the ladies if I looked like sage .....I got game ...but I ain’t to purdy lol

 

[Uber_Noober]

The kid is strong, that's a lot of weight. I'm just guessing but i'm guessing he makes good money in advertising supplements

 

[Stranger Come Knocking]

Pfffffft

When we gonna see this guy in ufc?

 

[johndhi]

he's a little short but looking like an average sherdogger for sure

 

[ramair455]

fake weights lol very obvious

obviously not. the bar has the right amount of bounce when racked.
I used to bench 405 back in the day with the OU football players.

Note: I dont even like that entitled blonde pretty white boy. But ill give credit where credit is due

 

[Brit_Brawler]

Strong as a fooka.
Looks to have put on a fair amount of size.

 

[ramair455]

He is strong

But I want to see what he actually presses without the help from a spotter.

thats a no-no in the gym setting. Always use a spotter and with that much weight the spotter should always have both hands on the bar.
I have seen the bar slip that broke a clavicle. Just not worth the risk to lift without a real spot

 

[cashmate]

benching that much while training for an endurance sport is pretty sus.

 

[JonJonesNeedle]

It's very impressive but relatively useless in MMA. Better off working on MMA technique. And if he wants to lift, he should focus more on Squat, deadlift, OH press etc.

 

[johny ringo]

Impressive lift. I'd be pissed about the spotter touching the bar though.

 

[D 1 Wrestler]

Is something in his pants? Or is he hung like an absolute unit?

Don't add to the magnificent specimen he already is.

Yeah I got up to 365 but I was probably about 225. That’s a good bench. I don’t think he plans to fight anymore does he?

 

[Ophydian]

Casually benching is now 1RM. Regardless it's a solid effort just don't be misleading.

 

[wearetheromans]

Meh that Georgian guy at the Olympic easily snatched almost 100 pounds more than this.

Yet people are impressed about a little twink pressing 400 while flat on his back like a whore? How much can he lift over his head?

 

[grombo]

look I know steroid accusations is fighter bashing and I'm already on my yellow cards but seriously what the faaaack that is a juicy human being. dat vascularity breh.
