I'm saying that they could bench at least 500 with a pause at the chest, which is what you're supposed to do in powerlifting meets.

Thats a long way from repping 6 with 500

concerns over form aside, they both have unreasonable thickness to their pecs

Couldn't agree more.
I love it!!! 20 internet nerds arguing how their form is better then two of the thickest bodybuilders alive. Shut the hell up.

while not textbook i think their form its pretty good. Some solid reps with good weight and there are the pauses at the bottom.
I myself dont lock the weight up anymore. Its a lot better for my elbows that used to hurt at the bench (not anymore) and its even more difficult! i feel constant pressure on my pecs during the exercise

why are people pushing johnny as the strongest bber...
this the secong instant where branch totally outlifted him..
imo branch is overall stronger than johnie... fine jone is stronger on pulling movements or so we have heard... but in bb there are more pushing movements than pulling....
imo..
branch is stronger

Careful man, you say a white guy is better than a black guy at something and Sarcasm might have a heart attack

I guess my preference is that girls not be taller than me, and at 5'9 only about 3% of girls are, so it's never been something that's on my mind. As a kid I wanted to reach my dad's height who is 5'10 but fell a bit short (the men in my mom's side of the family are all very short, under 5'7). I also like girls around 5'3 to 5'5 although when it comes down to it, my only true preference is that they are not over 5'9.

Oh please tell us more...this is so intresting...

I thought Johnnie was supposed to be the strong one. In this vid it looks like Warren is having a much easier time with the weight (and with much better form).

We aren't allowed to critique form on here, so be careful there

If you squeeze your shoulder blades together, pin them on the bench and bring your elbows in when you bench, you are less likely to get injured.

Both have freely admitted in MD that Branch is better at bench press, while Johnnie is better at deadlifts.

Frankly, its nothing to be ashamed of considering their overall strength and appearance - just something that makes them unique from one another

I'm sayin.. if branch is stronger at pushing.... and johnny pulling..
consequently i would take branch as the stronger of the two.... as in bbing.. you have more pushing movements than pulling....
pulling - back, biceps
pushing- shoulders chest triceps..
so branch is stronger...
also by evidence ie videos.. i have seen...
im yet to see johnies great deadlift.. on bfto he seem to fight with 5 plates...for a guy who can pull 8 - 9 plates..
so to my eyes.... branch is stronger overall

branch was a machine in the BFTO 2005 - unbelievable strength considering his conditioning and that he was only a couple days from competition

LMAO!!! Why do they spot each other on the warmup one plate set

Thier claimed lifts seem even more suspicious after seeing this video.I have a couple of friends who bench abit over 500 and they handle 400 just as good as them.

And these two claimed to rep 5+ with 495 or something like that right? I doubt it,but who knows .

Those claimed lifts were at off-season condition. They appear to be in contest prep. 405/495--does it really matter?? What they are doing is getting the job done for the muscle being trained.

Branch and Johnnie doing incline db - shit load of reps.

BRANCH LOOKING W-I-D-E and THICK as fuck. Ridiculous . . .

Johnnie's back is impressive too

Brooklyn lifter · « **Reply #74 on:** March 18, 2007, 05:24:01 PM »

Am i the only seeing this?? they were not using 45pound plates rather 35lb plates on the lifts which made it 325lbs.
