Author Topic: Squadfather Claims 225Pound Bench Press For 24 (Read 11516 times)

what determines full rom bench press?

got a decent sized gut, deep rib cage and short arms, big arch in the back, pull the bar down to meet pushed out gut, touch and push weight up while keeping shoulders retracted, lock out, done - your full rom could very well be 3 - 5 inches.

225 for 24 is not unbelievable at all.

225lbs for 23 reps for somebody who weighs 230lbs is achievable. why do you guys make it sounds like it's the next thing to impossible.

No shit. I am not a bench guy and I could do 225 for 12 about 10 years ago when I was in better shape and I am nothing. Squad has a strong looking chest and shoulders. No question about it. Even if he did provide video the haters would still cry fake plates.

is that mia finnegan?

haven't followed the fitness comps since i stopped reading mags (90s), but she was the shit (competitively) back then.

i liked the fact that she didn't go the fake tits route. when compared to the rest of the soft core t & a parade, she was refreshingly classy.

please tell me she hasn't gone to the dark side

If Squadfather can bench 225 lbs (video; no fake plates) for 20 reps... I'll paypal him a hundred bucks.

Nice try kid.

STFU tool. Nobody asked for your opinion.

If you think about it, the fact that so many of these idiots call bullshit on his lift claim (which is ENTIRELY BELIEVABLE given how big he is) tells you a lot about how small and weak they really are....

if you weigh over 220lbs and have been lifting for awhile you should be able to do this....I don't get it.

I'm sure they weren't picture perfect reps and he didn't have a PL judge there to crituque his form but c'mon now.

I don't even know him and I don't find it that hard to believe.

it's not like he said he could deadlift 225 for 112 reps or anything

Archer77 · « **Reply #38 on:** December 10, 2007, 09:24:29 AM »

It seems highly likely that he would be able to do it. Like natural al said, its not that much weight. I think everybody should be less concerned about other peoples lifts and focus more on their own.

225 for 24 yeh looking at his build he can do that for sure, if he went to Onlyme's gym tho he'd rep 405 BNP for 24 tho, as everyone in that gym can do that!!

Triple-H_2005 · « **Reply #40 on:** December 10, 2007, 09:38:11 AM »

I don't see why he couldn't.
I'm am TERRIBLE bencher (never benched more than 385), and have done 225 x 23 or 24. Son't remember which, just that it was short of 25!

Jsut sayin'..

onlyme would have him doing 315lb strict curls every week like he does.

although he coud be talking about his weekly bathing sessions where he lifts his 315lb gut up so the nurse can throw buckets of soapy water on his weiner.

Bro, 385 is by no means a "horrible" bench. It's VERY respectable for a natty, esp one with long arms like yourself.

Thanks, but to me, at 255lbs, with a 655 deadlift, my bench is kind of embarrasing!

Damn long monkey arms!

655 DL @ 255 is also very, very good for a natty.

To be fair to Squadfather on this one I believe that after looking at his pic he looks to have some relatively big arms and shoulders. Okay there's fat there too of course but I reckon judging from looks alone he could definitely get 15 reps with 225 and possibly 20 at a push. 24 I'm kind of on the fence about because it's an impressive lift if true but I'm not going to call bullshit because you cannot judge someone's strength by looks alone. If it is true then it's a good demonstration of lifting.

Squad has been slating my two year old pic for ages now (picking up four plates with a very thick handle with small (!) forearms so I am pictorial proof that you are stronger than what you look like - Squadfather could easily be the same.

My best with 225 for anyone who cares?
18.

If you could move 315 on the shoulder press (even smith machine) as you claimed you should be able to get more than 18 reps on 225.

Not necessarily. If we're talking incline press as opposed to straight seated OHP (aka "shoulder press"), then I'd probably agree.

But even still, I don't believe this bullshitter's claims about 315 for reps on seated press, even if it is on a smith. He looks way too small from his pics.

I said shoulder press, not incline. He claimed to do some reps with 315 on a smith machine for behind the neck press, which has got to be BS based on his pic.
