lol who takes cameras to the gym?
very few, which is why this discussion is largely pointless unless you have. stating 'no lying please' is going to get the same result as a cop interviewing a crim.
the real question is, why does anyone give a fuck?
when i used to bench press (don't see any reason to do it now. i'm not a p/lifter and there are better pec/upper body strengtheners that wreak less havoc on the shoulder stabilizers), as soon as i could do around 6 good reps with 315 i went up to 317.5. i never got into numbers.
most people that handle 3 plates easy for reps are on gear anyway (i was). if i see a natural guy do it, it's either life or death any way you can, short limbs deep chest, or they're a p/lifter and they actually know how to perform the exercise with maximum leverage advantage and minimum rotation around the shoulder joint.
