355lb bencher?

[SS]

no doubt this guy looks great esp for a natty, but do you guys think he can bench 355lbs @ 160lbs?

i'd say around 295 tops.

[Always Sore]

Most likey, since it's not that much and he has good shoulders and tri's. LOts of small guys with good arms can bench up to a point. Same with small arm (length) guys. Though I bet in a shirt and tie you could not even tell he works out other then saying he might be a runner or swimmer.

yeah you're prob right

he seems like a cool guy so he's prob  not lying.

355 @ 160 fucking prick

[MONSTER_TRICEPS]

He does look awesome, short fucker though.

[davidpaul]

The guy could do it in my opinion, he aint huge, but the fuckers dense.

He looks very short, a big bench is largely form and lots of practice.
Face it, most of the best benchers actually look like hell.
Possible, hell ya. Only 1 way to know.
Throw a big arch in his back and tuck the elbows and he'd have a real short ROM.
the 165lb class is way over 400.

without a doubt,i say fuck yeah he can do it

[Alex23]

at 160? That's close to world record... maybe if he's 5'6" < with small limbs.


I still prefer this becheress

lifting his hips off the bench with a wide grip, a liftoff, couple of fingers under the bar, uneven lockout maybe but what i don't believe is him repping 335 for 5-6 like he claims but hey anything's possible.

[trab]

5 or 6? No.

yeah if he is claiming 5-6 then i'll call bullshit,but i think he could do it for a single.

He looks very strong, with a great build for singles.
Prob is you lose your set up after 1 rep in power.
Cycle the back arch & the whole "Tight" package, and ya done.
Mulit reps at that weight take some mass. Pretty rare see a guy < 220lb pound out reps w/ 3 plates.

assuming that he probably doesn't do strict powerlifting form (hold at lockout before/after, full pause at the bottom)? sure, why not. dude's dense and has short limbs, touch and go with some bounce isn't at all out of the question.
