this little assclown "usmokepole" seems to think that a guy with his fingers barely wrapped around the bar with one hand takes 100 pounds off the bar on Dennis James's 485 pound incline presses, hahahahaha, the guy is standing a foot behind the bar and literally is barely pulling on it with one hand, whaddya think?
-
maybe 10 to 20 lbs.
-
epic start a thread meltdown.
better not workout with superstar, if your benching more the 20 pounds he will not be able to haul it off you. spotters can only lift 10-20 pounds according to superstar. you feat of human strength is remarkable.

If Jonny Jackson was spotting, well he can upright row 405 lbs...
But with fingers...not very much.

I have trained with many guys of pro level bber and you dont need 100lbs pulling power to spot them.
-
so i take it that "usmokepole'' is one of those clowns that put 225 on the bar and could only get one with a spot. so he throws on 315 because he's doing negatives ::)
-
Cutlers wife spots him, so that should tell you something.
-
maybe 10 to 20 lbs.
the question was "how much weight to you think spotters take off the bar" the above was your answer dipshit.
another internet strongman.
it wasnt two fingers either, watch the vid, cleary has his whole hand wrapped around the bar. plus i never said he was pulling 100 just that he could be, you couldnt tell, unless you have a special power to determine how much pressure someone is applying in pounds by watching them.
Kyomu, i never said you need 100 pounds, and ive spotted people doing weight to failure were i had to pull it off there chest, obviously it is needed sometimes.

dont exceed 20 pounds or you'll be trapped under the bar.

hahaha! you really must be a pussy if you need a spotter to lift a hundred pounds ::)..........keep training little guy.
-
awesome POLL by the way, you were clearly a premature baby.

are you the fat dude with sausage rolls on your neck or is that showstoppa, cant remember.
brutal fat neck meltdown.

I repeat..."Cutlers wife spots him, so that should tell you something."

hahahaha looks like i struck a nerve.
go bench your 185 and make sure you have spotter that can handle a hundred pounds.
-

hahahahaha, it looks to me like usmokepole is trying to justify people benching 100-200 more pounds than him with someone barely touching the bar with their fingertips for spotting.
-

hahaha, ssbg. You can spot these types a mile away..."Yeah, he benches twice as much as me, but he's fat." As his life partner rolls his eyes and says "He's around 15% and you are at 10%...."
-
I think the main thing in this case that helps the most is the continuous momentum due to the applied pressure at certain points. The amount of weight that is "reduced" is somewhat arbitrary.
-
A good spotter will know when to even touch the bar. I get pissed when a spotter touches the bar when not necessary. Only when failure sets in and the bar starts going down than, and only than should a spotter be needed on ordinary lifts. When going for something over 300, I like a spotter to be right their and ready to save my ass just in case. Usually they just take off a few lbs. so I can finish and maby even get a few forced reps in. The more forced reps, the more important the spotter is as with each rep the spotter's load goes up.
-
I don't know but all I know is that 'spotter' is always startin shit w/ DA all the time.
I remember prank calling DA on a few occasions and DA was like...'who the fk is this, spotter?'
Hahaha...'spotter' usually appears when there is a DA thread otherwise he's is nowhere to be found.

hahaha, blockhead. The first time you posted that long exchange with DA, I about shit my pants reading the "spotter" stuff. Poor DA probably has black helicopters following him too. hahahaha

when i spot someone i don't touch the bar except to rack it.

You got enough to focus on when you are putting your dick in their mouths, eh? Brutal Bench Press blow Job.

absolutely correct..i heard that a spotter only takes 15-25lbs off

unless you're spotting "usmokepole" then you would have to do 100lb bent over rows when spotting him ::)

Good time, Showstoppa! Good times, G!

the only "spotting" usmokepole does is during his "time of the month." hahahaha

No, his tampon gives him all the support he needs.

haha that was actually funny, but i think the funnier concept is that spotters can only lift 20 pounds at most according to you. that means if you lie on the floor with more then two layers on you need three men to haul you off the ground. your chest would cave in according to superstar if you wore a chain with a substantial pendent.

way to bring the un-funny. this thread had potential to be funny until you fagged it up with your unwitty response.

why dont you post another picture off yourself then haul it when you realize you look like a metrosexual taking estrogen replacement therapy.
why dont you put more product in your hair ricki. hahaha funny you go around denying a picture you posted claiming to be yourself ahahah. it wont be long before you off yourself.
why would you post a picture claiming it to be you then deny it? answer that question.

I haven't combed my hair or styled it in 4 years. Better luck next time, lightweight.
Keep lifting tiny and one day you might be able to rep 225 for 3 without a spotter pulling the weight for you but I doubt it.

your are a dirtbag then, haha, "i havent showered or combed my hair in 4 years" classic quote from the biggest dirtbag on getbig.

no you could spot way more then 20 lbs but my point was what i think a normal spot is or see in the gym. now no one should need more then a fingertip spot........... if so they need to lighten it up some, and get some good form reps.
-

yes i agree, but my whole point was when dude has his hands on the bar you cant be sure what someone is actually lifting and the lift doesnt count. DJ's lifts do not count as repping with 485, the guy was obviously lifting there, he did 4 reps and the first three looked like 225 from the speed of the bar. why the fuck would you need a spot from the first rep if you could get four reps.
-
You guys are using what a regular spotter would do to help someone lift. Using a few fingers to help only helps 10 to 20 pounds maybe. But this guy helping James has a full grip AND using his legs. I guarantee you that he is taking 75+ pounds off that lift if not allot more. It's like these idiots who leg press 1500 lbs. and have a guy on each side pushing. WHY? Show a video of James inclining that wieght with NO spotter for 1 or 2 reps. If you say he is doing that wieght on the video that easy and the spotter is hardly helping then doing a couple reps is nothing. Someone get that video and post it. He shoudl actually be able to do even more. Till then the spotter took off allot more weight than you think. I guarantee you if a guy has 315 on the bar yet he has only benched 225 once, and he has a stromng spotter like James had, the spotter would be able to lift that additional weight the same way his spotter did.

Boy, you're pretty stupid. I shave my head. It's pretty much a meltdown when you start claiming false things, like not showering.
Carry on with said meltdown.

-

BF started his own usmokepole appreciation thread but apparently that is not gay.

next time your in the gym do an experiment,, if you bench 315 for 8 reps- then you need a spot to get 2 extra reps.. instead of the forced reps, do a drop set and see how much weight you would need to take off to get 2 extra reps with no help... for me i would need about 40 pounds off the bar.. so that means the spotter would be taking off 40 pounds
-
It didn't look like much to me, probably 15 pounds max.
-
absolutely correct..i heard that a spotter only takes 15-25lbs off
wow,you heard? What, you have never been to the gym? You really are a little lapdog loser.
-

didn't watch the video so i couldn't tell ya :-\

dennis james is a true professional of the highest caliber. He knows what he can lift and hes a strong motherF_er too. In bfto 2004 he was incline benching in a smith with 315 and on his 10th and last rep when he attempts to lock it it slipped and he caught it half way no prob. check that out. talk about failure. that spotter isnt doing shit.
-
Probably 5-7% or so
-
According to the hardcore folks around here using a spotter is cheating so regardless of the stress relieved by the spotter the rep doesn't count as quality.
