He gets kinda stuck mid-rep, but doesn't appear to be getting much help if any in raising the bar.

I'm not sure if the spotter really touches the bar.

Spotter helped quite a bit IMO.

Next thing you'll be hearing is how Zack Khan has a torn pec...

Not the smartest training for a bodybuilder

The spotter doesn't have a firm grip on the bar though,

to me it appears as is he's just guiding it up.

If you are benching raw with heavy weight like that and the bar starts sinking down on the way up, it's very very difficult - not impossible but very hard - to turn it around and get it going in the right direction without some assistance.

Also, they didn't jump up and do the customary fist pumps and head butts at the end, which leads me to believe they all knew he didn't get it by himself.

True. Zack need to learn a lesson from Kevin Levrone and Craig Titus. 500lb + bench presses are risky to a bodybuilders career.

I second you Bob. However, I think he is preparing for a Power lifting contest

He's got a weird ass voice

I live not too far from him, and nobobdy really sounds like he does

what the hell does that mean??

if the 'spotter' wasnt there = him not 'getting 6 plates up'

fck whether he had a 'good grip' or not...same thing as wearing those 'shirts'

powerlifting is bullshit, just waiting for a tendon or muscle to tear and having an excuse to be a fatass

look closely, the bar DOES reverse directions before the spotter gets to it. no doubt he got some boost from the spotter, but i'm really not thinking it was more than a fingertip pull. nothing crazy, the guy didn't have to upright row it off him. take 10 or 15 pounds off that bar and he'd have gotten it, but obviously the six plate push just feels more substantial than five plates and a 35.

even taking 6 plates OFF THE RACK and holding it is extremely impressive, just find it funny how a guy who's arms probably shake benching 275 isn't impressed with a guy behcing almost 600 pounds raw, hahaha, some little queens and princesses are never impressed.

maybe if he was a fatass he wouldnt have to have someone 'not grip the bar that tight but just guide it'

i did 405 for a negative last november and it felt like my shoulders were going to blow off. i can't even FATHOM 585. i'd bet any money not one person in this thread could even get that on a two inch lockout.

rip i'd be happy to give you a 'fist pump' at the end of one of your workouts if you like
