ANYONE who thinks that was impressive is blind and knows nothing about lifting heavy. I think they did that video as a joke. No way i hell would anyone take that seriously. Unless these guys are exhibiting a new 4-man bench press competition, these guys are jokes. And if you think these guys are taking off only 40 to 50 pounds each is another joke.
i agree.. a lot of people dont realise how much weight a spotter can take off you....
..
why if you can push something yourself... why would you need someone to help you..
so if that spotter or training partner isnt in the gym that day you cant press the weight?
for me if you cant rep it once by urself u get half way then the magic spotter hands touch the bar then hey presto you can now get 6 reps.. with the magic hands on the bar... no you are not training intensley.. or breaking through failure.. you are ego training
