yes it was added, you could clearly see the quarter on there for the 455 set and they specifically did a close up of the weight to show the 5th 45 and the 2 and a half for the 500 set.

the ONLY thing bad about his form was that his hips were off the bench, that's it, this kid has unreal benching power.

Thats a big "ONLY".... your right he does have unreal strength though. Doesnt have much size to go with that strength. I would wonder what his typical workouts look like.

i think his size is actually very good, seems like if you're not Dorian Yates or Ronnie Coleman then you're not impressive, the kid is 6'2" and 250 pounds and looks every bit of that, he's not small or undeveloped by any means, is he Mr. Olympia material, no, but he's more than likely natural or close to it.

Squadfather, given this guy's strength and how he isn't really huge, why do you have so much difficulty believing that a behemoth like Trey can lift the weights he claims he can?

because Trey is claiming weights that the strongest powerlifters in the world would struggle with like 650-700 pound bench press and 600 pound incline press.

All I am saying is, it's possible. BTW I agree about Al Sharpton...

TRock99 · « **Reply #65 on:** April 10, 2007, 07:00:58 PM »

Great that he can bounce weight off his chest...but bad form, no pause at the bottom, arched back and a weak right side ( a pec tear waiting to happen). Would make more sense for him to drop the weight down, don't worry about the ego, and work on form and true POWER...just my two cents

Still impressive

Man of Steel · « **Reply #66 on:** April 10, 2007, 07:39:00 PM »

If I saw that kid in a the gym I wouldn't figure him for more than 225lbs for 8 at best.....he's an ox.

Holy fuck strong kid

Eric2 · « **Reply #68 on:** April 10, 2007, 09:13:04 PM »

Other than a slightly high back arch I would say his lifts are good. Damn strong kid.
I am 6'2 at age 20 the best I could do was around 350. My best aver was 445 for a single at #225's. My lift style was not to far from his. the crab position is what most call it, the drive position. 3 points, ass shoulders, press up press hard.
I only hope he goes easy on his shoulders. I paid the price once I hit my 30's.
I've since opted for a more bodybuilder approach and more flat back presses. More reps and sets, less weight yet working up the progressive overload ladder.
I am 37 years old now and can feel muscle growing, nice feeling.

Yeah, the kid is damn strong at the bench press.

Say you had twins, one could max bench 500 and max power clean 100. The other max bench 100 and max power clean about 350.

If they had a fight with each other who would be more likely to win?
Who would be better at carrying a heavy piece of furniture up a staircase?
Who could possibly slam dunk a basketball or run the hundred metres faster (who would be a better athlete)?

Would you say that the bench press is one of the most overrated lifts? What, with the short range of motion, arching and other techniques that improve leverage, to the bench shirts used in powerlifting competitions.

SteelePegasus · « **Reply #70 on:** April 11, 2007, 03:51:09 AM »

fucking impressive

I am more impressed with his 405 for 10. That shit went up and down effortlessly. If look closely the spotter thought that he was done and was about to rack the weight. Then he cranks out 2 more reps.

as someone said, if he didn't waste time on the 405 he could have gotten more reps at 500

Just so you all know the Hines boys are competitve bench pressers out of Northern Indiana. I know all of the guys in the video personally and they are a great group of kids that bust there asses.

They train right there in that garage, no commercial gyms or gym equipment. They got plates, bars, power rack and a bench.And they do it all on there own.

All of them are over 600 in Contest and Greg (kid in vid) is closing in on 700 in a bench shirt. There are not alot of kids out there that can touch these guys in there weight classes and age divisions.

VERY IMPRESSIVE!!!!!

Hope they're doing it clean, since it would be great to see them compete in the IPF Junior worlds. Greg Hines's probably the best junior in the world in his weightclass right now.

Amazing lifts. Truly amazing.

If this clip is real...And Ive seen it and watched it a million times....and I cant see a reason why it isnt real. You all should stop sweatin it. Dude is strong.

EL Mariachi · « **Reply #73 on:** April 11, 2007, 04:33:02 AM »

bouncing weight off the ches, arching back making it a decline press, if he puts up 800 pounds with that form its not impressive, because you look like an ass like that. 350lbs with good form, no bouncing would look much more impressive. it doesnt even need to be strict form, but these arching back-lifts are just ego and stupid.

that 225X 112 deadlft from adonis was far more impressive.

I tell you what.

There's not one lifter in the whole world, juiced or natural, who will put up 800 lbs raw.

I don't care how much he bounces the weight or arches his back.

It's not happening.

So tell me this...

How is 800 lbs with bounce, arched back and whatever, NOT impressive?

When nobody can do it?
