Cool Video of Bertil Fox benching

Man I remember this.  Check out the old bench.  I remember the first day Bertil came to World Gym.  A fucking beast!

So, by my count, he starts with 505 for a single, goes to 435 for a double, then 365, 295 and finish up with 225. Not quite Coleman strength, but damn impressive.

I think he starts with 595.  I think he has 315 on the final set.  I can't see how 225 would be so hard even after those reps.  It just moves like it is heavier than 225.  Just saying but not sure.  And don't forget Coleman is heavier and alot better drugs.

On May 22, 1998, bodybuilder Bertil Fox was convicted of murdering his former fiancee and her mother on the tiny Caribbean isle of St. Kitts. He was originally sentenced to death by hanging, though on Sept 27, 2002 his sentence was changed to life in prison.

bertil was one of those 1/100000 type of guys who made bodybuilding look NOT gay....

I guess he has the same problem with his left hand as I do... :P... sucks to be right handed..

Very impressive. Almost as impressive is his actually putting the DB's back in the rack. And not screaming like a little girl every rep. Blue collar all the way.

except he actually does full reps and not that 3" rom bullshit. Bertil was a monster no doubt. those videos are intense to say the least.

awesome physique and some good strength on the bench

dont understand the praise for these workouts though.. maybe you guys are being sarcastic and i dont realise it.. his form is horrible! not just a little bit of cheating, every movement he did became a compound/full body exercise.. lol

Thats because he trains heavy as hell...its easy to maintain perfect, no momentum form with light weights.

regardless...it freaking worked !!!  :o

Bertil and Roy Callender were my two favorite guys from back in those days.

hes not using that heavy of weight on the curls..  theres a difference between



a little cheating on the last few reps or on the heaviest set

and

throwing around the weights with no attention at all to using the correct muscle

anyways, not looking to get into that discussion right now.. cool video  :)
