It's always safest if your feet can't touch the floor to maintain balance. :D

Be honest you stole the blue lamp from them while they were outside ;D

i actually have two lamps like that and both still work after 60 years..i guess they don't make them like they used to.

repurpose sex dungeon furniture ?

Nude benching on a prison bunk bed... Normal iron-game activity.
Is that Dan Lurie smiling all schmoe-like?

Exactly what I was thinking. :-\

i believe that is was 'designed' like that to test your real bench-press/chest-shoulder strength without the additional assistance you normally receive by placing your feet on th efloor.
And it just might be a great training method to use in an effort to increase your bench press max in all world wide bench press contests held today.
Do any of you Powerlifters ever consider traing with no foot on floor assistance nowadays?
I also tend to think that this high bench method coud have been initiated around the time that 'isometrix contraction' was in vogue, but I'll have to Google that to insure that I ain't as stupid as I think I am.

Interesting photo at top. You can see that the boxes that make the bench were meant to be stackable. At first I thought maybe jerk boxes stacked to make a primitive bench, but that doesn't seem right either. Curious.

Look at all the old time schmoes in the background salivating.

anyone ever seen or used the moon bench ?

My high school actually had one. Not sure why, it was stuck behind a bunch of bent olympic bars, and gymnastic equipment in a utility closet so no one dug it out to play with.

Speaking of moon benches, I've always wanted to play around with a Parillo version -

Great way to tear up your shoulder or cartilage in your ribcage. There is a valid reason why these exercises were dropped from bodybuilding routines.

;)
Big dude definitely needed to take his shirt off for this routine.

you can hurt yourself doing any exercise without using proper form and or too much resistance. such exercise like upright rowing, press behind the neck ,lat pull downs to the back of the neck all have caused problems. the moon bench pullovers remind me of the nautilus machine pullover machines seen in many gyms today.

Yes - Back in my powerlifting days.

I used a moon bench at Henry J`s Health Club where Jubinville trained.

Where? Not really. Their website. Phil Heath’s gym (Armburst) has one that he uses when doing tricep presses.

Yes the Nautilus pullover machine has probably wrecked more shoulders and rib cartilage than any other machine. Even Brooks Kubik mentions how he messed up his shoulder doing this exercise when he was younger. I stopped doing it in college because it just felt wrong, like something in my shoulder could tear at any moment. You can build a great chest without it.

Got any pics of John Parillo + Bob Chicherillo?

I’d rather use Basille’s biceps machine

Taking about equipment, I just recently was given a membership to our local UFC gym, this place is absolutely AWESOME with just about every piece of equipment you could ask for. Even with all of this state of the art equipment, particularly the HOIST leverage equipment, I still find a lot of the older, less state-of-the-art and some that are 20+ years old, is still better than the newer stuff.

Do you think that was sufficient range of motion? I'm being serious. Seems you got to 90 degrees, but I always thought you were a fan of going deeper.

On that machine I was hitting bottom, but yes, if I’m squatting it parallel or below. Since I’ve got older my training priorities has changed toward more bodybuilding and don’t regular squat much anymore. I’ve switched to a V-Squat which is much easier on my body

ILLUMINATI, Did your bench press improve by training with your feet off the floor?
If so ... by how much?
Thanks!

It certainly helped my bench press poundage - I can’t remember by exactly how much
As I was powerlifting in my late teens to late 20’s (58 now )
Benching feet up & flat back made for a longer movement & did wonders for my pec development
I still do most of my chest work feet up.
At my strongest I could bench 170k @ 75k bw & my heaviest bench poundage was 215k @ 90k.
I would recommend feet up benching - Maybe alternate sessions with regular powerlifting benching.
As obviously the 2 planes of movement are different & you want to maximise the crossover gain
From flat benching.
