Well i just benched 225 for 36 reps...At a bodyweight of 187 LBS....More twice what nassar could do...What's the most you can do..This was after an extreme carb up, where i ate a whole pot of rice the night before.

225 x 36, that's pretty damn strong. what's your squat and deadlift rep maxes for 225?

Unfortunately, I have a bad back and can’t do either exercise.

I wonder how our bodies allocate resources. Like choad... if you were abole to squat and dead regularly, your bench numbers would naturally be lower, right? I mean for 187, that is very very good.

Yep, lol.

Nasser had the worst form and lowest levels of intensity during his training that I have ever seen of any pro - and I've seen them all.

I think on Monday I will be able to hit 225 for 20. I'll get a spotter and the extra assurance will probably allow me at least a couple more reps.

I carb depleted for 5 straight days. Then i carbed up for 3 days, loading up with Creative ethyl ester, and carbs...and Consuming 1000 grams of carbs per day, for 3 straight days...I went from 183 before the carb up to 201lbs.That what I’m assuming contributed to all the extra reps..I wasn't even a goal of mine...i was just feeling so strong from all the extra cellular volume...

what bodyweight did you initially start at, before the carb-deprivation?

I can do 225 for 40. then superset with 315 bent over rows...

how many times did nasser get 225? i can get it 15 times...but i havent had more than about 100 grmas of carbs for about four months now; so im sure i can get 20 the first week i start back up bulking.

Choad, that's very impressive and I don't doubt you, but is there anyway you can take a video and post it? Do you compete in powerlifting? If you could bench in the mid to upper 4's at that weight without a shirt I think you could get close to a world record with a shirt at that weight.

Also, remember that video of nassar is actually nassar at his worst...so the thread should say, could you at your best, bench what nassar can at his worst, lol...that will ruin many peoples day in the gym.

15 for what i remember...
correct if im wrong but at least his form on that day was the better of all competitors...the guy who won for what i remember didnt went to the chest for example on any repetition

I agree, I trained chest with Nasser when he came to Iowa for a Grand Jury hearing 3 years ago and he trained like a total panzie. We started with cable crossovers for 3 sets and then went to incline barbell bench and supersetted that with flat bench. After that he walked on the treadmill for 45 minutes and I was like WTF? This is when he was around 12 weeks out of the NOC and he trained with absolutely zero intensity. He was an intelligent, nice guy and a class act I must say though.

And yes I do have a stronger bench than Nasser, even 3 years ago when I was 18. And where did a strong bench get me? A torn pec that I'm recovering from and will NEVER bench again.

yeah man, Nasser El Sonbaty...

i really cant believe a guy that big didnt train with 'heavy ass weights BOO UOOO' like Ronnie at least in some years...probably he just think he didnt needed too in the later years of his carreer...
Strenght apart, that guy was the ultimate mass monster

You could tell Naz just didn't have His heart into that benching comp. The thing is that He was the only guy to use perfect form, The winner, was it Duvall, was using partial reps and never came close to touching His chest or locking out. Maby not competing in His first O in 10 years took something out of Him or the fact that He's getting on and just doesn't have what it takes to be an Olympian anymore hurt him more than we know.

Jeramy Freeman won. And you you are right about the form. Freeman and everyone else that beat Nasser did quarter reps and pumped em out at a very rapid pace.

If you put up 155lbs for 4 reps I'd be impressed......shit, I'd impressed if you put up 135lbs.

When you're in better shape than Nasser let us know. Until then.. who cares?
