Bertil Fox - Bench Press Drop Set

[Gym-Rat]

Obviously filmed with a potato, but shows Bertils strength.

Crazy set. I wonder what he benches today?? 

Had a bizarre training style (heavy, sloppy) but was strong as f**k. (Warren / Jackson).
Im glad these guys didnt mess-up stripping the plates, could have ended in a double-shooting...

He'd be lucky to bench the empty bar the way he looks today...

Bertil still has his pre-mass-murder bench press receptors.

That's a very unique way of pressing dumbbells (10 min and 45min mark) Watching this again after over 2 decades I'm inclined to think he might be somewhat retarded. Is MattC the white Bertil Fox?

His way of training though is fun as hell. If I got 1/10 the results from it that he did, I wouldn't have stopped.

First off - that's Fox, Brutal Fox at his finest. Knowhat-I'm saying?

I take that as a compliment.

I'm flabbergasted at how many people I talk to who tell me they've had multiple surgeries from...just basically living. Injuries galore.

I've never had anything resembling an injury, with some incredibly shit form.

In Brutal's second training video, he said he had never been injured. I have go admit, I was shocked to hear that.

Also, for his dumbbell bench press set, it wasn't the form, but the cadence that was off. Maybe one side was considerably stronger, but whatever it was - each side did not go up at the same time.

Lifting weights consistently increases tendon strength and supporting muscles, so in that sense it makes the person less prone to injuries from everyday living.


I've never had anything resembling an injury, with some incredibly shit form.

The long term wear and tear from that form (style of lifting) is more the issue.

It's a sweet spot that very few get right. Training to help avoid injuries and not giving yourself injuries because of your training.

Nice article! I’ve got to read it when I stop driving. I see they mentioned Robby Robinson in Tallahassee. The only time I had a personal trainer was for a couple weeks in college where I really cranked up the intensity. His name was Dave Burney and he was built a lot like Terrell Owens. He even drove around a red corvette with “Arms” on his vanity plate. He knew Robby and talked about the days when he would back in town and the FAMU girls would all go crazy. They’re lucky he wasn’t like Brutal Fox or it could’ve ended up more like Ted Bundy in Tallahassee.

Ted was flamboyant. Girls would lose their head over him.

Found him! Guy is 67 now and still hanging on to some of his peaks. Ted Bundy would make a great Halloween costume. Have an arm sling and crutches while trying to carry groceries. And last but not least, a giant mallet in my back pocket for some late-night noggin’ floggin’

For me, I think it's just a matter of time.

I tried to really clean up my form recently while deadlifting - my issue is it's all back for me, and I don't activate my hamstrings. If I could just do that, I feel like adding 50-lb is not out of question. But I don't know - I just don't activate my hamstrings.

Anyway, while pulling, I feel like I get a sort of minor strain on my biceps sometimes.

One of these days, I feel it may rip off the bone.

But hey - knock on wood, I've had zero injuries thus far. Nothing that ever took longer than 72 hours to clear up on its own, at least.

Schwarzenegger and Franco Columbu, a future Mr. Olympia, took bricklaying gigs; Lou Ferrigno carried caskets at a mortuary in Brooklyn and lived with his parents well into his 20s.)

"Carried caskets"?

Either way, tremendous physique for a former casket carrying worker.

Great lift for a former casket carrying worker.

Flexacon said he is entitled to a small senior's pension in the UK now, lol.

[Humble Narcissist]

Former bodybuilder Bronston Austin trained like that about the same time period and tore his pec ending his career.

Coach Arms still has it!

Ted always paid attention to details. Zane used to channel his intensity. Sadly too late for them to co-author a posing manual.

He was a train driver.

He's probably collecting £185/$220 a week (State pension and pension credit top up) which isn't that bad if you've just done a 25 year prison sentence and now have minimal expenses.
