lets hear your thoughts, on Cost of Redemption Coleman himself benched 495 for 5 and this guy claims that he did a mere 40 pounds less for almost the same reps.

My Bad.  I know that after that TUF show came out now everyone thinks they are some type of MMA expert.  I was just expressing the fact that after my surgery I had to do other things to keep me mobile and keep my cardio in check.  As far as my bench, you probably got me, I was just shooting a jab at your ego.  I'm only hitting 405 for 4.  As for the past year I have not been bodybuilding, I have been body maintaining.  Hopefully getting my bench back up to 455 for 6 like the good old days.

P.s. Superstar how tall are you?   I was looking to see if you had any pics.  I'm 5'9" 220.

he said he did 455 while jacked up on drugs. i know two guys who can rep 455 and one weighs around 240 at 5'9". boy's jacked all to hell in the upper body, and has done somewhere in the high 400s in competition (meaning full pause).

he says he can do 4 wheels for a few reps now. like i said, i'm -skeptical- of it, but part of that's because i'm only hitting 365 for a single and any time someone outlifts me i'd like to believe it's bullshit.  ;D

i lifted with a guy who was 165 and did 315 for raw triples. if you saw pictures of him you'd laugh your ass off, but i witnessed it. as for dballn, i'm going to go out on a limb and say they aren't the cleanest reps and he can't do them if he hasn't been training, but that it's definitely doable.

you cannot base strength on his appearance, nor can you base your conclusion based on the amount of weight a bodybuilder benches.

I knew a guy that  was 5' 7" weighed in at 160lbs and benched 450lbs at bench press competitions, in the gym he could do near 500lbs. (one rep) and I am not exaggerating, you would not had known he even lifted weights had you met him in street clothes.

Why is someone that size unlikely to do 405 for a few reps? I'm 226 and can do that. Because you can't do it it's not doable?  ???  Half the people on this board call bullshit becuase none of them have half the work ethic of a few on here. Maybe if some of you guys actually busted your ass you'd move more weight than a 13 year of jv tennis player for once.

4 wheels is serious weight. not a lot of gyms have a guy who can handle that. to put it another way, gyms have way more guys who are that size but can't rep 405 than guys who can, you know? that's why i said it's certainly possible, i'm just skeptical as i would be with any claims.

Magoo, how are you pushing your weights, whats your techinque?

With mine I use a just outside shoulder grip and for me at least it's mostly triceps with chest at the lock out.  the easiest way for me to describe it is, benching feels like squating with my arm.  I've always been pretty good at it.

THE WIDER THE GRIP THE LESS TRI'S AND SHOULDERS IS INVOLVED! It's the opposite the closer you bring your hands together. They're still involved but not as much with a wider grip. My grip spans the bar.

His claim is very hard to believe. Now if he were to say 315, even 365 for 5 or 6, that's plausible. I don't think that anybody on this board should make such a claim, unless he has the readily available proof to back it up.

I use the wide grip for BB stuff, and the closer grip for strength training.  Actually heavy deadlifting really helped out my bench to.

Either you train at planet fitness or you workout at home. I'm just breaking your balls. In a large gym you'll have MAYBE 20-30 people who can do it out of all their members. mid-high 300's is common. I've always been a bencher adn have moved in circles of them. To me 500 or more raw is impressive. 400 is not. I recently wrote an article about how to become a big bencher. I've trainined numerous people to do so. My latest "student" has gone from a 185 to 275lb max since the end of january. Big benching isn't something for a few elite people. It's all in your head and how you train.

I've kept a running workout log on this board for quite some time before I ever mentioned that I could do it in the general forum. 315, for most of you guys that train properly and have done so for a year or more, should be your mid range weights unless you've had some kind of injury.

PL arch, index fingers on the rings. my bench isn't my strong suit, mostly due to piss poor shoulders (i trained a lot for a shirt so my triceps are way outlifting my chest/delts). we'll see about it in a few months.

i been to powerhouses and gold's up and down the east coast and repping 405 isn't a 20-30 people common type of thing, particularly for guys on the lower end of the 200 pound scale.

all i said was that it's not the most probable, but that it's absolutely possible. i take all internet claims with a grain of salt is all.

Your bench will come easily with a good pl setup. That's the number one problem wiht people in the gym is setup when it comes to pushing big numbers. If you just started using it, you should see HUGE climbs in your numbers. 30-50lbs or more in a month or so. If not then it's just a matter of finding your positioning with grip, etc.
