Title: Bertil Fox - Bench Press Drop Set
Post by: Gym-Rat on August 24, 2022, 01:35:08 AM
Obviously filmed with a potato, but shows Bertils strength.

Crazy set. I wonder what he benches today??  ;)

Had a bizarre training style (heavy, sloppy) but was strong as f**k. (Warren / Jackson).
Im glad these guys didnt mess-up stripping the plates, could have ended in a double-shooting...

That's a very unique way of pressing dumbbells (10 min and 45min mark) Watching this again after over 2 decades I'm inclined to think he might be somewhat retarded. Is MattC the white Bertil Fox?

His way of training though is fun as hell. If I got 1/10 the results from it that he did, I wouldn't have stopped.

First off - that's Fox, Brutal Fox at his finest. Knowhat-I'm saying?

I take that as a compliment.

I'm flabbergasted at how many people I talk to who tell me they've had multiple surgeries from...just basically living. Injuries galore.

I've never had anything resembling an injury, with some incredibly shit form.

In Brutal's second training video, he said he had never been injured. I have go admit, I was shocked to hear that.

Also, for his dumbbell bench press set, it wasn't the form, but the cadence that was off. Maybe one side was considerably stronger, but whatever it was - each side did not go up at the same time.

Lifting weights consistently increases tendon strength and supporting muscles, so in that sense it makes the person less prone to injuries from everyday living.



I've never had anything resembling an injury, with some incredibly shit form.

The long term wear and tear from that form (style of lifting) is more the issue.

It's a sweet spot that very few get right. Training to help avoid injuries and not giving yourself injuries because of your training.

Nice article! I’ve got to read it when I stop driving. I see they mentioned Robby Robinson in Tallahassee. The only time I had a personal trainer was for a couple weeks in college where I really cranked up the intensity. His name was Dave Burney and he was built a lot like Terrell Owens. He even drove around a red corvette with “Arms” on his vanity plate. He knew Robby and talked about the days when he would back in town and the FAMU girls would all go crazy. They’re lucky he wasn’t like Brutal Fox or it could’ve ended up more like Ted Bundy in Tallahassee.

For me, I think it's just a matter of time.

I tried to really clean up my form recently while deadlifting - my issue is it's all back for me, and I don't activate my hamstrings. If I could just do that, I feel like adding 50-lb is not out of question. But I don't know - I just don't activate my hamstrings.

Anyway, while pulling, I feel like I get a sort of minor strain on my biceps sometimes.

One of these days, I feel it may rip off the bone.

But hey - knock on wood, I've had zero injuries thus far. Nothing that ever took longer than 72 hours to clear up on its own, at least.

He's probably collecting £185/$220 a week (State pension and pension credit top up) which isn't that bad if you've just done a 25 year prison sentence and now have minimal expenses.

That's actually pretty good.

Bertil's son said Bertil had never had the internet by the time he was incarcerated. I wonder if he will wander into it, or grant any interviews.

Also, has it even been verified that he was pardoned, and since moved back to the UK?

Worst form in the game, but very strong... Decent shot as well...

Title: Re: Fertil(e) Box
Post by: Matt on August 11, 2023, 12:28:30 AM
B. Hank was criticizing my form for doing the same thing with the dumbbells, by turning them to the side like that, as if it's to cheat the rep.

In reality, every video on YouTube of anyone doing seated overhead presses with 100- to 120-lb dumbbells has a lower range of motion than I use.

No one locks it out on the top, for example.

And if you compare how low they go at the lowest part of their negative, it is about as low as mine.

It makes no difference if the dumbbells are slightly tilted like that, providing you do a full range of motion.

What surprises me somewhat here is not the dumbbell tilt, but how far off the cadence is between both dumbbells. Regardless, Bertil was strong AF. He paid his dues, and whatever he did obviously worked for him.
Title: Re: Fertil(e) Box
Post by: Matt on August 11, 2023, 12:57:27 AM
Exactly which rep here wasn't deep enough?  ::)

https://www.instagram.com/tv/CdzEcekASYH/

Then B. Hank made this video about it, going nowhere near as deep as I was in even between my 5th and 6th reps, where I was obviously at my weakest.



Although the most annoying part was when that weakling Walter Sobchak made fun of my strength. Lol, a guy who has never overhead pressed anything heavier than the 50's making fun of my strength.

Here's the range of motion for my first four reps, all going to parallel or lower:
Title: Re: Fertil(e) Box
Post by: Matt on August 11, 2023, 01:14:19 AM
Here is my last negative, between my 5th and 6th rep. Even by that point in muscle fatigue, I still just about broke parallel.

If this was a squat, I'd probably get two green lights for this rep, which, need I repeat is perfectly.

Then B. Hank does a mock rep of my form, going clearly above parallel.

As for going as B. Hank does in that last picture - who the FUCK goes that deep, when pressing any noteworthy amount of weight?

There is NOBODY on YouTube pressing dumbbells between 100- to 120-lb going that low.

I couldn't find ANYONE who goes much deeper than I do, and almost NO ONE locks out.

So anyway, my form is perfectly.

But like I said, it wasn't B. Hank's video that annoyed me, but when that weakling Walter Sobchak called me a weakling. LOL, a guy who overhead presses 50-lb dumbbells max calling me weak. That's right.

Then Grape Ape - an ordinarily credible guy - called Eddie Hall's half reps here "no lock perfect form".

I couldn't stop laughing.

Eddie is strong AF, obviously, rendering complaints about his form useless, but admittedly, his form is garbage here:

The secret to bodybuilding is NOT form, it's the lack of form, meaning learning to not gaf about form, just lift, it's what worked for the most massive bodybuilders, Ronnie, Bertil, Branch, Arnold, etc

I don't want to shit on Grape Ape too much - he advised me on how to do a chest program that helped me stop my front delts from eating away most of my chest gains. My chest is going to be a weakness for me no matter what, but he was right about how to adjust my training.

My chest has marginally improved since then, but still sucks.

However, this:

No shaking, constant tension, no lock perfect form.

LOL.

I wouldn't consider this "perfect form" by any means, but when you are that strong, I don't think it matters:



When I get to the 110-lb dumbbells in a few weeks, hopefully everyone will STFU about my marginally insufficient depth.

Although to be fair...Grape later clarified he meant Eddie's form was perfect to achieve constant tension. However, my POINT is, very few lifters use better form than I do on overhead presses.

I'm just saying - my form isn't THAT bad.

And as you said, pamith - it really is about just doing it. Our form should be good enough to prevent injury, but need not be perfect.

People get bogged down in the minutiae of all of it, when they should really JUST DO IT, as you alluded to.

Great post, pamith.

I agree with the poster who said it is not form.  When you do things "correctly" you can NOT use as much weight.  that doesn't mean bounce weights bend back throw weight up etc. BUT use heavy weight is a slight cheating fashion and you WILL stress the muscles more. Do NOT worry about the little things like full contraction twist the biceps tilt the dumbells and all the other bullshit you read about from "experts".  Smh. Such crap. Doo you think any good bodybuilder pro or amatuer counts the seconds to raise it or lower it?  That one is funny as fuck.  Train heavy train hard train long and train often . Eat good sleep well and take steroids and you will grow. PERIOD.

Criticizing Eddie Hall pressing 155-lb dumbbells overhead is silly because it's an amazing lift. Even though his form isn't perfect.

Criticizing my using 100-lb dumbbells for reps with good form - where nowhere near the same as Eddie's lift - is stupid for similar reasons. Just because - anyone pressing 100+ pound dumbbells overhead for reps with good form is obviously pretty strong, and doesn't need to hear someone splitting hairs about slightly imperfect form.

Never in my life have I seen anyone go down as low as B. Hank does in that video, lol. Although I suspect the weight he uses is not much heavier than what is shown in the picture/video, so I guess when you are lifting light dumbbells, you can go that low.

(https://www.getbig.com/boards/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=687042.0;attach=1457148;image)

^ I've never seen anyone go that low on 100+ pound dumbbells, lol. Not once. I can't find a single video of anyone doing that. Most are around my depth.

I just don't care to hear from people weaker than me on a particular lift how to improve it. Especially given that generally, I train for strength, not using all the stupid Weider Intensity Principles bullshit to "get a perfect pump".

He's talking to me like I'm a competing bodybuilder, when I generally train to be stronger. Hence why I don't do all the perfect form super slow Weider reps or whatever.

In any case, my presses are fine.

you look like a fuckin twink regardless. YOU ARE NOT MEANT FOR LIFTING AND MUSCLE....JUST GIVE UP ALREADY.

You run on the other hand Matt.....run around in circles like a hamster on a wheel with no changes in your physique EVER
 You look like a 12 year old teenager for fucks sake.....your life must truly suck....for years you've been on this site posting gym videos of you deadlifting etc and posing, while looking like a twink fool.....just give up dude

Gee, that couldn't have possibly happened by accident, which?  ::)

Being light - low BMI - is one of the HEALTHIEST things you can do for yourself.

It wasn't some accident that I stayed 170-lb for literally a decade straight. It was intentional, because I insisted whatever progress I made be constrained by perfect health, and next to nothing in terms of steroids, supplements, or even large caloric intake. Because all of that degrades the systems of our bodies, and reduces our systemic wellness and organ integrity.

You make it sound like that was by accident. My bench pressing 345-lb at 182-lb was proof that I obviously train hard and can make progress, but that I chose to be as physically healthy as I could be while doing that.

That was on purpose. Not due to some genetic inability to get bigger.

I could literally run gear for six months and be 220+, no problem. I don't do that because that will ONLY damage my health.

You make it sound like all of us who don't get bigger stay small because they failed to put on size. Did you think maybe some of us don't want to juice year-round and binge eat?

Not everyone shares your goals, and doesn't care about their long-term health.

Yeah, I can't imagine looking like this literally for 15 years [as you said]. Must be rough. 😂

Because it's not like I'd want to do that on purpose or anything, haha.

Ohh...the blowjobs I didn't get! The wives I didn't fuck!

Yeah, no.

I can assure you, things are fine when you look like this for 15 years. I know bodybuilders tend to think it only matters on stage - like in Generation Iron [part 2 or 3] when Dorian said IFBB pro bodybuilders make fun of Men's Physique competitors...meanwhile, probably 90% of women would go for a Men's Physique competitor over an open heavyweight bodybuilder.

Add to that the fact that both divisions produce strong men, but massive pros are going to get to a point in size where they get winded literally walking up a flight of stairs, whereas having a lighter muscular physique like will be a lot more functional [and bode far better for health and longevity].

This may surprise you - but not everyone has the same goals as you, Relentless458.

Only matt can take a Bertil Fox thread and turn it into an epic meltdown thread about himself.

Tell me more about Eddie Hall's "no lock perfect form", Grape.  ;D

I feel I can add 50% more reps that way.

But I can't be mad at you, Grape - I'd still be in the gym trying to build up my shite chest, rather than just accepting that I lack potential there and focusing that energy into areas that I actually have the potential to improve!  :)

PS - but seriously, my presses are good. I don't deny my form is slightly insufficient.

^ Nobody uses form like that, ever.  ::)

I can't find ONE video on YouTube of anyone using that form. And the ones that come close are people using pink dumbbells, or other ultra-light weights.

Although presumably B. Hank has dumbbells that light in his home because he actually uses them.

B. Hank - grab a pair of 100's, and show us what you got.

Below are four tutorial videos, collectively with over 4.5 million views, and NO ONE is going that low.  ::)

Also, tell Jay Cutler he isn't going low enough:









And like I said, virtually every video of anyone pressing the 100- to 120-lb dumbbells on YouTube comprise people using form like this:

For me, I think it's just a matter of time.

I tried to really clean up my form recently while deadlifting - my issue is it's all back for me, and I don't activate my hamstrings. If I could just do that, I feel like adding 50-lb is not out of question. But I don't know - I just don't activate my hamstrings.

Anyway, while pulling, I feel like I get a sort of minor strain on my biceps sometimes.

One of these days, I feel it may rip off the bone.

But hey - knock on wood, I've had zero injuries thus far. Nothing that ever took longer than 72 hours to clear up on its own, at least.

Don't alternate grip deadlifting if you are already getting warnings your bicep is under strain. Use a hook grip like Olympic lifters. Use straps if you can't hang on. You don't want to permanently mess up your joints. I've been there and I wish I had the wisdom of age telling me it's not worth it.

Bertil used to train in my friends gym at times - only he got banned
for his bizarre anti social behaviour & continually dropping weights
on the floor.  ::)

No denying his arm's / chest / delt's & legs were fantastic
Not so his shoulder width or back - & is best not to mention his posing  ::)

Actually Fox still has money left over from his gym owning days. Plus he never got injured the way he trained. Yates did. Torn quad, forearms, rotator cuff, bicep, tricep twice. Yes those are servere injuries.

I don't think hanky could lift what matt c lifts

I think that's correct at the current time, GymnJuice. Althoughu believe B. Hank has had some pretty good lifts:

- 365-lb below parallel squat.
- 165-lb strict curl [certainly this is way over anything I've done - I curl 120 for 8-12, but don't even think I've tried over 135]
- 300-350 range bench press at one point.

But here's what I would say about B. Hank, which I feel B. Hank needs to acknowledge about me:

He and I have different results for many reasons, but one reason is simply the fact that we train for different goals.

B. Hank presumably trains exclusively in the 8-12+ rep range.

I train a lot in the 1-6 rep range, although I have been trying to move to an exclusively bodybuilding style program lately.

And that just affects our results.

I have that...you know, that instinct to get stronger, which is why I often default back to it.

I really want to see how much success I can having with a bodybuilding-style program though, and I am currently on one.

As it has been going well, I intend to stay on it until around Halloween.

Thank you for that compliment, GymnJuice.

I think that's correct at the current time, GymnJuice. Althoughu believe B. Hank has had some pretty good lifts:

- 365-lb below parallel squat.
- 165-lb strict curl [certainly this is way over anything I've done - I curl 120 for 8-12, but don't even think I've tried over 135]
- 300-350 range bench press at one point.

But here's what I would say about B. Hank, which I feel B. Hank needs to acknowledge about me:

He and I have different results for many reasons, but one reason is simply the fact that we train for different goals.

B. Hank presumably trains exclusively in the 8-12+ rep range.

I train a lot in the 1-6 rep range, although I have been trying to move to an exclusively bodybuilding style program lately.

And that just affects our results.

I have that...you know, that instinct to get stronger, which is why I often default back to it.

I really want to see how much success I can having with a bodybuilding-style program though, and I am currently on one.

As it has been going well, I intend to stay on it until around Halloween.

Thank you for that compliment, GymnJuice.

Don't worry he won't answer or provide any kind of Factual proof.

So many have challenged what crap he makes up & post - he hates being called out it.

If he knew those he posts about he'd be able to back it up he can't.

I don't want to shit on Grape Ape too much - he advised me on how to do a chest program that helped me stop my front delts from eating away most of my chest gains. My chest is going to be a weakness for me no matter what, but he was right about how to adjust my training.

My chest has marginally improved since then, but still sucks.

However, this:

LOL.

I wouldn't consider this "perfect form" by any means, but when you are that strong, I don't think it matters:



When I get to the 110-lb dumbbells in a few weeks, hopefully everyone will STFU about my marginally insufficient depth.

Although to be fair...Grape later clarified he meant Eddie's form was perfect to achieve constant tension. However, my POINT is, very few lifters use better form than I do on overhead presses.

I'm just saying - my form isn't THAT bad.

And as you said, pamith - it really is about just doing it. Our form should be good enough to prevent injury, but need not be perfect.

People get bogged down in the minutiae of all of it, when they should really JUST DO IT, as you alluded to.

Great post, pamith.

People shitting on the World's Strongest Man in the comments:
Yes, exactly, when you look at the most massive bodybuilders ever, Branch, Ronnie, Bertil Fox, etc, they all have one thing in common, they all trained with sloppy form, strict ''perfect'' form has it's place too, but sometimes you gotta just go crazy, lift heavy with sloppy form and go freaking nuts, for optimal growth
