mattc always flat back on the bench never requires any type of lift off or spotter, perfectly relaxed gentley lowers the bar for a 12 second pause on chest up nice slow and controlled then very carefully re-racks the weight .. Not many can do the strict bench thats why his record still stands i beleive.

isnt it crazy though seems like the most unlikely

even the name "matt c" sounds like something a 4th grader would come up with

he has alot of well manners and sweet man qualities it just goes to show that good karma can correlate to heavy ass poundages

Are you sure, big bro? 

I saw a few clips of Matt benching.  It was anything but strict.  I remember telling him that, the next time he started whining about his pecs not being up to par, he needs to watch one of those clips.  He was bouncing and moving that bar faster than Mai Shiranui's tits heave when she's jumping on a trampoline. 

He was doing decent weight for his size but whatever he was weighing, I'd be shocked if 320-340 was any kind of record, even for Getbig.  I admit I didn't touch that weight until I was over 200 lbs., though, so I reckon he has me beat (don't flat bench anymore).

Ya not doubt, sorry Falcon but you are talking crappola, lots of dude can smoke him and you have not even given us the reps yet, I have done 50 reps before with my own body weight so you are just trolling, no offence brother  ;)

That's true.  But I had to give him props because I thought he did like a double-bw bench or something.  (I'm getting old and my memory's fuzzier than Nicole Bass' chin by 9 a.m.)  I might have him confused with someone else  ???  As I said, I just remember him constantly whining about his shitty pec development, how he ate less than most high school cheerleaders and had to stuff himself to break one ... seventy? 

Something like that.  He doesn't even post here anymore, so it's a hill of beans.

What Matt lacks in size he makes up for in determination. At only about 170 lbs soaking wet, it is not hard to imagine he has benched at least 340 for one rep.

I'm beginning to think Sir Falcon was just taking the piss :)

Whatever happened to Matt, anyway?  I know a bunch of people gave him shit and he had some weird posting habits ("Why are you being so mean to me?"), but I never found the guy ban-worthy or anything.  I know he had a big anti-Zionist agenda, but if racially or religiously-discriminatory posts are truly off-limits, there's some seriously selective moderating going on.  Enforce the rule universally or just get rid of it.

40x for someone who doesn't even flat bench is pretty damned good.  I always found I really lost my edge on the 225 rep test if I didn't at least practice it every couple of weeks.  30 or 31 was my best IIRC (I suck at high reps on everything except biceps curls, strangely enough), but if I were to plop down on a flat bench and try it tomorrow, I seriously doubt I could do 20 -- and I'm a hell of a lot stronger overall than I was years ago.

I am not questioning your opinion about who on Getbig is record breaking with regards to how much they have benched in a competition. If you could cite some examples or name some names, it would lend more credence to you position.

Well Matty7688 the above poster, myself and meso78 can smash 40 reps with our own bodywieght, personally if I tried to get as light as possible I can clear 50 reps.

Many here can do 40 reps +, if matt C is in this ball park then I stand corrected but I think he is 180lb so I suspect he can do 30 reps with that weight based on what I have seen, could be wrong.

Now for being king of getbig for your own bodyweight on bench, anything less then 60 reps probably will not cut it, 41 000 members here, lots of good benchers

Out of curiosity, would you be interested in an informal wager on this me going to Lakehead's campus and getting away with it?

I've had my employment status on Facebook set as being employed by Lakehead University for the entire year so far - and they refuse to take action against me over it.

I have repeatedly stated that Lakehead's security staff physically assaulted me.

Lakehead let the statutes of limitations on over a dozen trespassing charges lapse.

Pretty damn good in my book!  I (formerly Doriancutlerman, btw) never benched double bodyweight.  In fairness to myself, I didn't flat bench regularly all that long; I started at 14 and would do some long periods of flat bench, then go through phases in which my focus was on dips and inclines, up 'til my early twenties.  After that, I was mostly a Smith, dips and Hammer Strength guy, just doing intermittent cycles of flat bench for shits and giggles.  I actually loved them.  I'm 5'7" and barrel chested, so once I got the form down, my strength shot up very fast.  I did a very low volume, moderate frequency routine and did every rep paused.  I started with something close to my 10 th and worked my way down weekly.  My best ever was something like
135x15
185x8
225x5
275x1-2
315x1
345x1
then 370x3, with a lighter DC-style set with 295 to failure, 15 deep breaths, again to failure, 15 more, then one last go.  That was it for pecs.

Anyhow, I decided that was enough because I was taking dbol and 500mg Test E. at the time and needed to cycle off:  I had stupidly let myself get upwards of 240, my bp was bad and my red cell count was through the roof.  I cut out the orals, reduced the test by half, and continued to train with the semi-DC style until my diverticulitis blew up and took me out of lifting forever.

Tl,dr:  don't get old!  It sucks :)
