Lots of help from the spotter there.

Looks like you could get 350 for a single tho.

I asked the guy, "did you help me?" He said no, i just had my hands on it.

He did help you in that clip. Next time, do the single without having the guy even touch the bar. He can always grab it if you fail.

I'm with NZ - 365 lb for a single is probably what you'd do without a spotter. You can always prove us wrong - no flame.

I never said he helped you, for me it looks OK. I just tried to explain, if i help someone during spotting, then i tell him afterwards how much i helped/not helped. And i ask my spotters to, if they have helped me.

Post by: mesmorph78 on January 24, 2010, 03:06:03 PM
not to knock your vid
but if your spotter had his and on the bar during the rep... you didnt do it...
you wouldnt have a spotters hand on the bar at say 225 would you .. no because u can do it...
so that vid though a good effort isnt showing you pressing 405 or 420
why not just press what you can without someones hands on the bar...
male ego?

Title: Re: Wiggs Bench Video
Post by: balight on January 24, 2010, 03:22:42 PM
Spotter is for safety reason. Shit can always happen...

Besides it gives you a great amount of safety feeling, and you can focus more on the bench. Furthermore its a great oppurunity for the spotter to touch your face with his nuttsack (no homo).

Post by: johnny1 on January 24, 2010, 05:41:22 PM
Not flaming here Wiggs but i did get a good laugh watching that only because it reminded me way.......back in the mid 1990s of me "benching" 400lbs (well actually it was 4 20kg plates each side so i guess 385lbs or so) my training partner could do that weight...for 5 reps (bad foam) without my help...id jump in usually on the 6 rep to spot him....lol then it was my turn....i could do 3.....with his help witch i thought was very minimal....lol for 4-5 months id "work up to 400lbs" each chest workout and do my usual 3 sometimes 4 reps....then my training partner didnt show up one day on chest day....so i got a little shit behind the Gym counter to give me a "lift off" with the 400 witch he did....weight came down and went half way up....and no more grunting and groaning my ass off til it came back down...the little shit behind the counter had walked off after the lift off :-[ :-[ :-[...so heres me rocking the damn bar left and right....left and right til on one side the plates came off and the bar goes flying back the other way nearly hitting some poor bastard doing curls next to the bench :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ point is i learnt that day was i couldn,t bench 400lbs....not even once ON my OWN, (in fact in the coming week i did see how much i could do for 1 rep....167.5kg) and it wouldnt be another 2.5 years or so til i did do 185kg 400lbs or so on my own....maybe you can Wiggs if so drug free thats a solid bench

Post by: Lion666 on January 24, 2010, 06:29:49 PM
if you watch the vid,,, at the start the spotter gripped the bar tight,,, you could tell by his fist,,, it was wrapped tight for lift off,,, (even though cellphone low quality vid, hard to tell but) it seemed small when wrappd during lift,,, the his hands were just on the bar during the decent,,, you could tell his hands were loose and they looked a lil bigger around the bar,,, hands looked like they stayed loose on the press too.  the spotter coulda been nervous too and just wanted to keep them there 400lbs is a lot  of lbs so...

all in all, i don't think wiggs got any real help at all aside from the lift off,,, you could tell with the press of the bar wiggs has the raw power and you see the bar move with consistant authority.

nice lift wiggs.  sure you'll get it again next week and you'll prob let the spotter know, no hands on bar to quite down the doubters.
big press there.

yeah its the actual sticking point halfway up is usually were you stall on a heavy bench, thats what i was watching on that clip....any hands @ all on the bar in a upward pulling direction (no matter how slight) will usually be enough to move the lift "off" that sticking point....i can certainty attest to that LOL...however Wiggs could prove me wrong if so Kudos to him

probably not,,,
and there has never been a bodybuilder alive that was worthy of winning the sandow,,,
no poster that has never been mocked...
everyone that likes and follows or even has any interest in bb'n is a h0m0...
no form of weight training or any type of athletics is healthy...
no reason to bodybuild for a plastic trophy...
any pic of a girl has sometype of flaw...

Lion do you think wiggs would have the spotter put his hands on the bar if he was doing 225 ?? No do you know why because he can do it so if he could bench 405 at the time of the vid the spotter wouldn't need to touch the bar simple

Don't know if you lift heavy but when I get into the 365 range I have someone there just in case there's a slip or something.  That's why his hand was there. I'll do it again and settle this whole thing.

sometimes if he was using a weight he doesn't handle all the time, it's nice to have a spotter there just in case and to build confidence.  sometimes the spotter can be nervous too and wants to keep hands on the bar.  i think the raw strength is there,,, the spotter didn't look like he helped that much if at all so,,, i certainly think he can get a solid clean rep within 2 weeks, again the raw power looks like it's there.

I think you should. A slip is always a risk but if you're experience, and you are, it is unlikely. A spotter shouldn't touch the bar until the lifter fails and it starts to descend. If it's a weight you can handle it's not like you push and then collapse if you are having an off day. There's a point where the bar doesn't move. Sort of like a static contraction. Your pushing but it's not moving. Only then do you give the spotter the signal to take it.

I'll take you at your word but from the video it does look like you are getting help (considerable help) from the spotter. Just have him help you unrack it and let you do the work.
Title: Re: Wiggs Bench Video
Post by: BB on January 24, 2010, 09:01:53 PM
Does your gym have a power rack handy? It would remove most doubt as to a true bench number. The spotter was a bit too "hands on" in that clip.

Wiggs knows this.....hands on the bar= you didn't get it.

I always tell my spotters  "Give me a break on 3...and then don't even think about touching that bar until it starts going the wrong way."

I hate when a guy keeps his hands on the bar....totally distracts me.

Wiggs wouldn't ask me for a spot because I tell anyone who asks me if you can't do at least one rep that bar is staying on your chest so you better put on the bar what you can do
then I ask how many reps are you getting by yourself but no way am I touching the bar on the first rep
if your going for a max and you say your gonna try it that's a different thing

yes in the last 10yrs that has been my thoughts also....if you can not do @ least the first 1 or 2 by yourself.....the bars staying down there especially if you know the guys a attention seeker just trying it on to "look good"
