We have a young guy at our gym.....he holds the world record in bench

[ProudVirgin69]

Lol ok i defer to your bodybuilding.com analysis, Gal 

I never understood why the people in the know over there frequent that site. Zero useful info too

[Palpatine Q]

I used to post on the over 35 section there.  Holy Crap they were more childish and bickered like the worst trolls here.

[King Shizzo]

Everything is just peachy here my little fella, no need to get all defensive and butthurt because your contribution to this thread is irrelevant........now you can scurry off to some Shitzzo tread you find scintillating.

Haters gonna hate. The Czar.

The bench is a really poor illustration of strength. First they bring their feet back so they can curl up their upper body to cut the range of motion. Then they inflate their chest on top of that bringing the bar to the highest elevation of their chest. They take as wide a grip that will be effective to further cut down the range of motion. Put on a straight jacket bench shirt to push a bar 12 inches with your elbows at your side.

In all seriousness I would like to see if many of these bench wonders can do 70 perfect push ups through a full range of motion? I bet many could not.

I like Olympic lifting. Take the bar from the floor and put it over head. No question who has the most power and strength. Many 400lbs benchers can't clean and jerk 300lbs.

Agree. people are disillusioned about bench.
real power is in functional lifts like clean jerk or deadlift.

It's the alcohol. Not the alcohol he drinks, but the alcohol his mother drank when she found out she was knocked up.

What, you think it was cough syrup

objection, bb.com is like this:

some 10% there know exactly how it works, but they bow down to the no drug talk policy, they dont pretend theyre natural,they jst dont admit to gear use, bc theyre not allowed to.
you can tell they laugh about the rest.
the rest is 45% delusional mongoloids who will never learn and buy the stuff there, hoodwrink, fish ,sinker, and the boat or however the saying goes.
the other 45% there are very much new to it and are still blind, to say it metaphoricaly, but theyre suspicious and curious and openminded.

i seen a guy there whos a skinnyfat 15% or so,and he asked if he should take diuretics to get rid of some water, haha, as if that was the only flaw in his physique, that thread was so funy i almost literaly shit and piss myself when i read it.
it makes for great comedy value at times.

if some ppl think anabolchalo is bad, they havent seen the turds floating at bb.com.

Bb.com has really went to utter shit.
Up untill about 2001 - 2002 it was great but started a slow decline.
Now its just embarrasing the way they act.

100 bencing over 500?

Ah yup.....using a reverse grip in a heavy gravity field

[nzmusclemonster]

This thread isn't about coach

[hench]

how can a bench shirt give you so much extra in a lift, seriously i don't know how they work.

[Mr Nobody]

Who gives a damn if he looks like shit.

[yates fan]

the shirts all vary also,there is sinle ply,double ply and triple ply.you can get angled sleeves,scooped necks,there are various kinds of polyester and denims.and you cant just put one on and get an extra 2 or 3 hundred lbs,you have to train in them for awhile and change your form and do a lot of special exercises to strengthen your lockout.

Ya but it's still bullshit.   Take the shirt off and bench what you can bench.

wat the fuck is wrong with this site so much bitterness and hate

the attitude of gym rats who have never been humbled.

[hench]

Thanks, question though, surely this would only work if the weight is lowered to you. It couldn't give extra strength with arms in the extended position to push off the rack...?

The fabric gets stretched as the bar is lowered, the fabric wants to return to its original shape. Like an elastic band, it stores energy and gets released when returning to original size. The shirt is biased so that you arms are moved forward.
