ruhl benching 545 for 3

[Wiggs]

That's his wife...

Ruhl has complained and been criticised on his weak triceps.

Lifting like this will stimulate the chest and front delts.
He'd be better off taking a narrower standard bench press grip, and bringing up those triceps.

He's gonna wind up injuring himself lifting (again) with that form too.

It's 210kg - +- 470 pounds.

Exactly.

[JasonH]

Irrespective of how much he's benching, it's made all the more impressive by the fact his grip is so ridiculously wide. Good stuff.

TEAM RUHL!!

Opinions on Ruhl's wide grip? I remember reading an article in Flex maybe 8-10 years ago. It was "written" by Matarazzo. I think it was titled something like "rule of opposites" or something close to that. His point was if you want to work the inner chest -- go widergrip. If you want to work outter chest -- go with a more narrow grip. This practice was not only for chest but also for quads (stance) and back (grip).

ITS NOT 545 !!!
yellow plates - 15 kilograms(approximately 30 pounds).
in Europe we see a lot of these yellow plates.

EXACTLY, i was gonna say those yellow plates are not 45's, he's still EXTREMELY strong but that weight was more like 455 not 545, like i said he's still a huge very strong guy.

[QuakerOats]

Completely agree.

That's why i do no flat benching at all.

I only do DB incline, flat flyes and dips.

I tried the wide grip ages ago just to see what it was like.

translation=you couldn't bench shit after years of training just like the majority of guys, this is the most common excuse for guy who don't bench because they're not good at it and it's just too hard, "i don't bench at all anymore because it's too tough on the shoulders and i don't want to risk a pec tear so i do giant sets of dips, flyes, db inclines and cable crossovers".

locking the weight out is all triceps no matter how wide your grip is, fuccking idiot.

haha like he hasnt tried anything yet to bring up his triceps, i bet he hit them harder and heavyer than pros with great triceps.

if you don't have triceps after locking out a 455 bench for reps you ain't gonna have 'em no matter how many pushdown/extension/kickback supersets you do.

[michael arvilla]

that clip is from "Big And Loving It" (Ruhl's latest Dvd which just came in the mail the other day)

looks to be (maybe?) the funniest and most entertaining bodybuilding DVD ever (lot's of hardcore training as well)

DVD has a "Nice Or Nasty" feature/version (which deletes all the farting and other funny/gross stuff)

good stuff!

[GreatFinn]

looks to be within the last few years - maybe from his latest video.

you only get to be that big by lifting heavy.

First at all, it would be nice if you little critters would know what you are talking about, because it is clear that you don't have even a clue what that clip is all about. Does "wide grip bench press" ring any bells? That is special exercise to maximize width of your chest, so Marcus uses moderate weight of 200 kilos, (440lb) in it. Secondly, it makes me laugh my ass off when I read your comments about him and every other pro builders, because I know who you are. You are little kids who have no life outside of getbig, and you poor bastards will never accomplish even one percent of that what Ruhl etc. have accomplish in their life. In fact, after the first time you guys shit in your diapers, you will not accomplish anything equally important in your poor little life's, and you can just try to figure out how sad that is...

settle down homo

[koolie1]

I dont see how the hell he doesnt blow out his delts and/or rotator cuff with that wide ass grip he always uses. He could bench more than that with a close grip approach.

[elite_lifter]

appears to be in alot of pain lifting

[Mars]

ruhl is no pussy lifter

Exactly, I was wondering how long it would take for someone who actually knows something on here to notice that.  And as much as the spotter was helping you can take off another 30 lbs or so.  For someone as huge and muscular as he was that wasn't not that impressive.  The only thing is that it could have been one of his last sets.  But then why would he post and record a set that wasn't one of his strongest.

i dont know man, but something is wrong with your grammar here. Far be it from me with my piss poor spelling etc  but i almost had a seizure trying to derive meaning from that sentence. So the only reason im saying anything at all is to warn the epileptics of this site to stear clear away from this post.

take out "not"

[Charlys69]

That videoclip is not actual. It was taken in his former Gym (Sportstudio Ottwald). Right now he is a gym owner 30 km away from that gym in Darmstadt (Rühl´s Fit & Fun)

it´s 210 kg... blue = 20 kg/44 lbs.  yellow 15 kg/33 lbs  black 10 kg/22 lbs.  + normal standard Olympic bar.

[Ursus]

its 467lbs unreal still

[freespirit]

Who is the man that is spotting Ruhl on the bench? He must be Ruhls training partner as I have seen him in other Ruhl videos.

You must be intelligent and very knowledgeable, being the only one able to notice that.
