The thing with squat and deadlift is true. You did get shorter when you do them. But all you need to do is complete the rep and you'll be back to normal height
I had a couple of friends who started working out as teenagers. They're both very strong and both can bench 450 lbs for a max. The both of them are shorter than the standard height for males in the US. I've met others through the years and I also noticed the same pattern. The guys who are taller and strong didn't start working out until their early 20s. I guess it's either the growth can go into the bones to get height or building up muscle size and strength. I'm sure there are exceptions since we're dealing dealing with people.
The family clips put a whole happy vibe on the videos, I'm sure most people don't mind. Those who do probably don't care too much as they can simply skip ahead
Red Tanktop guy is also a great spotter. You can tell by how he sets himself that he takes that job seriously and gives himself the best chance to take as much weight as possible if something were to go wrong.
salsanacho Yeah I hate seeing spotters that are just standing there super relaxed when someone is doing a heavy weight, showing up isn’t enough when 300+ lbs is on the bar
@@jaysoniorg2950 I don't agree that the scenerios are that different. And I don't believe most cyclists are good at their sport. Most are noobs who just find biking around to work fun. In which case I don't see a difference.
@@jaysoniorg2950 Most professional lifters aren't using it as a catalyst for a sport though. It is their sport lol. It's the same thing. This dude is competing in bench press. That's his sport. He's training the bench. I don't expect a sprinter to be a good swimmer. I don't expect any other athlete to be good at any other sport (unless closely related, butterfly vs backstroke swimming).
King Kong hahahahaha you’re probably a fat little man who could never fathom benching more than a plate. Get in the gym, focus on yourself and maybe you’ll believe that this is very much possible.
@@Mdg892 It's not true, that it will happen with everybody. Long Nguyen is one out of million, who is able to do that at just 150 lbs bodyweight (and he is not a dwarf). At th age of 18 he was able to benchpress 2.7 times his bodyweight in a real competition.
Feels like im watching howard stark talking about his legacy then young tony went to and see his dad. You are an inspiration to us, bro. Dont ever stop doing what you love.
All these fitnes utubers their whole day is counting calories, cooking, long training sessions, and protein shakes. You're the ideal guy to look up to. You have your priorities set but also maintaining a healthy routine and getting stronger and bigger. Respect
Yeah because most fitness TH-camrs train for aesthetics and size, obviously he doesn't which is why you don't get all that other stuff. It's a fact that bodybuilding is a shit load harder than powerlifting. He doesn't even track calories because he doesn't need to, all you need to do for strength training is get enough protein and food everyday and work on your core lifts, in this case his core lift is bench. I'm not saying his feats are something to scoff at but stop putting him on this huge pedestal like what he's doing is insanely hard. There's a lot of strength trainers on TH-cam that do the same thing. Bodybuilding= perfect diet+hypertrophy training which is waaaaaay more torturous than going into the gym and lifting heavy for a 3-5 reps. Try doing moderate weight (75-80%) for 10-15 reps and failure, your body will be screaming after a few sets. Try eating at a deficit for months to get shredded. It's hard af, and if you don't find a sustainable way to do it you'll never achieve it. Whereas strength training you don't really have to eat all that healthy, most power lifters eat like shit. Yeah this dude eats well, but if he really wanted more strength he'd pack on the calories and get stronger. Obviously not his goal but that's how it is. I did power lifting for about 3 years and I got super strong and it was awesome. Switched to bodybuilding, Im about 15-20kgs heavier and about the same strength but I look miles better but honestly its the hardest shit I've ever done in my life by far.
@@insomniackiller1 I'm not putting him on a pedestal, I'm just saying most people should strive to be like him. I've done the opposite where I spend my whole day eating, thinking about working out, and disregarding everything else in my life and it isn't a good path. Yea bodybuilding is a lot more work, but the average person isn't going to try to do that because it isn't their career. He's a good role model because he is working out and staying healthy, without dedicating his life to it. You should train to live not live to train. I get what you're saying, but if you only focus on working out and doing everything optimal, you have to sacrifice time to other parts of your life that are more important. It is different if it is your career, but there needs to be a balance with everything you do otherwise you ignore other important things. That was my point.
Finally he tells us the details He has 22years of bench press he started at 14 years old so he 36 now...but the crazier part him benching 365 Max at 17 Y/O at 150B/W is ridiculous... you sir are the bench King God...it sucks that you dropped that heavy ass weight on your chest I'm sure that set you back tremendously
I started gym at 80kg bodyweight and could bench 100kg pr without bouncing the next week My squat pr was 80kg and deadlift 130kg Now, a year later, i weight 90kg and bench 130kg, squat 110kg and deadlift 160kg 😂 I'm literally the definition of chicken leg
Damn it man you hit me in the feels, none of our gains matter in comparison to family. We never realise what we have until we lose it, stay thankful brother.
Wesley I pray for all of us, brothers and sisters, that we never have to lose it. Impossible, but acknowledging and constantly reminding of this means we don’t take moments for granted.
Its great to see you're family vlogs , I never valued life as much before like I always believed there was a tommorow but man after what happened to Kobe and his daughter along with the other family , these family vlogs hit differently , nice to see a man show the world how valuable family and life is
You've gotta be pound for pound one of if not the best bench presser currently walking this planet good for you man and also you seem to have a good family life which is awesome dude you deserve it
I've only been following you for a few days. I'm blown away and mesmorized by your power to weight ratio. More importantly, you're a humble family man that loves fishing. Can't go wrong with that! Believe me, as a 42 yr old who's always struggled with bench (6'1"-200lbs), I'm studying your form and techniques!
Love that you're keeping us happy with these vids but also doing what you love and leaving this record of your kids for youself. Keep it up man, you're an inspiration!
I was reading the comments and listening to the Q&A and then scrolled back up after reading this, saw the bit with the red tank top and he gave me a huge smile, what a great guy.
Hey, I've been watching you for years. Happy you're back. Honestly I love the family videos in the beginning, really makes me happy. I really wish the best for you and your family. From what I see you're an amazing father that puts his family first and I really wish I had someone like that growing up. Keep up the great work! (upload more when you can :P ) London, UK love
For anyone thinking about trying his program: Ive ran it in the past and it is very very optimal for building strength and keeping it. It brought my bench up from around 205 to 245 in 2 4 week cycles (8 weeks total) and very rarely had issues with plateaus until i got too strong too quickly! I started having shoulder issues due to poor form at the time, but managed to get all the way up to 265 tng before having to call it quits due to injuries (i think my body wasnt able to handle how fast i was progressing). This was my own fault, however. Also i would always pause my sets but tng when i went for a 1rm.
100% agree. I was able to do my very first 225 max rep at 155lbs because of his program, beyond ridiculous in my head at the time because of the rate of progress. The only sacrifice I had to make was just the fact I was really focusing on chest (still conquered my other body routines). But it does reach the goal of his program. Thank you @UFpwrlifterb for the great program and for being such a great father and husband to your family
Sparta Ninja id say it varies for each person depending on your muscular endurance but i would generally do 1-2 minutes rest. I started off 1 minute rests but if i felt the next set was gonna be hard i took longer rests
@@tylerb325 They are in disbelief if he will actually do that weight. Afterwards they are surprised and smile because of how ridiculous his bench is for his weight and stature.
Mad respect for always including the happy family documentation to look back on, as well as the lifts. You seem like a genuine family man. All the best to you and your family!
Hey man don’t stop uploading and please keep trying to give more great advice, you are inspiring more people than you think one of the main reasons why your channel is growing. Keep up the great work we are all here to support !
Pretty much any exercise with pausing is going to be more difficult. I almost always pause at the bottom of squats and below parallel. One time, I was on my third set of 365 for 3 sets of 4 reps, and I couldn't get out of the hole on the 2nd rep. I dropped the barbell on the pins,as my dad's lifting partner tried to grab it. If you're not going to use a spotter, just don't use clips. If you don't use clips, you can just tip the bar to one side so the weights fall off.
Thankfully there’s people out there that will come and help you, unbelievably most people wouldn’t think you could press it. Your pause rep technique is killer and at that weight, u da man
Hey man don’t ever apologize for wanting to share your love for your family. I actually enjoy the fact you’re a normal humble dude and clearly a good dad.
I understand ur bench is what people want to see but i would like to see ur accessories work outs on strength tri's and back. What exercises are you doing. Thanks P.S. family comes 1st no apologies needed. 👊✌🤙
It's a great thing to see the joy you bring to your children, don't feel embarrassed! You're a great father., and furthermore a beast at lifting. Keep doing what you do 🚂
Love watching your videos. You’re an inspiration and motivation to me. It’s fun to watch you bench that much at your body weight... the other day I maxed out on bench at 185 and I weigh 125lbs. Hopefully by next week I will try 195!
Man I respect that you want to answer questions, however I love watching your bench pressing and sound of gym, that's pure chill for me - please do not interrupt it.
@@UFpwrLifter Hey if you feel like it's an idea you'd take on, you could always do your vlog of the family. Then, your typical length of video lifting, and finally answer some questions or talk about things etc. Just kinda reminding you that you can always make the videos longer 😉! Do what you wish. Cheers!
What he does for his diet/routine isn’t what the average person needs to do to bench like this. The average person his size will probably plateau at 250lb bench without additional calories or supplements.
@@emilegriffith1473 nah I doubt this dude does steroids. Just doesn't make sense when all he does is just bench. He isn't competing, he isn't building for physique nor size. He's married and has kids and he's been benching for 20+ years. Plus he always discusses how he avoids doing things that jeopardizes his health because it's not fair to his family.
Great work work brotha! Everytime I feel like I've hit my prime and tell myself just rep out with 2 plates only and your vids pop up and a new strength comes over me to keep hitting heavy until I cant anymore. Just wanted to say thanks for the inspiration and getting this 40 yr old man off his butt again!
Very much enjoy the commentary, would love to see you 'reaction-style' talking thru the video to fill gaps, you have every right and reason to include your family and anyone whom feels otherwise can skip along to the part of the vid they came here for, thx keep it up!!
@@invisiblesurge44 Don't give up and don't get embarrassed that you're not using as much weight as the guy next to you. Bench press responds to high volume so just put in the work and eat a lot and before you know it you'll be throwing your old 1 rep max through the roof of the gym
Buddy, you've said before that you get stronger the more people are watching. You should live-stream yourself on a heavy bench sesh, see your power levels spike over 9000 with all the viewers.
I enjoy, not in a creepy way, your family footage man. your kids are just so well behaved. I can only hope to have a happy nice family like yours in the future. Keep going man!
OMG! you popped up again into my recommendations after a looooooong time. just the motivation I needed to hit the gym again the first time in 2020. praise the bench gods.
He couldn't comprehend the fact that a guy less than half his weight could lift more than him. Benching 315 is impressive, but not so much when you weigh more than 315lbs.
You haven’t uploaded any video from a while I thought you might stop recording..I almost unsubscribe you but glad you started again..keep it up 🇳🇿mate..
UFpwrDad :) i idolize you man, you've balanced your life and do what you enjoy. I have a stepchild so I know kids can be very difficult to handle, but are incredibly loveable all the same. Maximum respect to you!
Keto or no keto you need to maintain calorie deficit. It's just easier to do so with keto as when you get to eat you eat fat and protein which are all extremely filling..
did u know that by keto diet the weight loss is due to muscle loss and not cos of fat loss. U will loss more muscle mass if u stick to keto diet instead of losing fat.
why the fuck would you want to buy a program made by him, he is built to bench and pretty much only benches. he lacks size because bench press is bad for building an actual chest. thats why you see tons of powerlifters with no chest (unless fat). bench only for chest and low reps = no chest.
He wants to be a part of it HHa I see that in the gym I go. When you go heavy people start talking to you and standing in a ratio maybe hoping you give then strength hhaha like in DgbZ
I for one like that you put your kids in your videos. You know what's more impressive than a 385lb bench? Being a father to two beautiful kids. ( p.s I'm jealous I have one daughter and would be so happy if my 2nd is a boy )
you don't have to apologise for putting family in your videos. family comes first, always.
well said, brother
for sure because of these, there are small but big differnce in this video. i really love this.
@hydro px Lmao dont like it, fuck off. Simple as that.

started out lifting 7 years ago for girls attention and confidence....turns out all compliments comes from guys
Women, unless they happen to be powerlifters themselves, don't really care about what poundages you can lift. They do however, care about your bank account.
I'd say lift for confidence and to look good, fit your clothing better. The women part is a bonus.
Infallible or just for fun?

Please keep the family clips in and don’t apologize for adding “too many.” Love watching the kids grow up!
Lol! Jacked Freddie Mercury is actually a good spotter. Not gonna lie.
Mad respect for always including the happy family documentation to look back on, as well as the lifts. You seem like a genuine family man. All the best to you and your family!
*9:30** for what you came for!*
You are welcome
"almost"
Hey man don’t stop uploading and please keep trying to give more great advice, you are inspiring more people than you think one of the main reasons why your channel is growing. Keep up the great work we are all here to support !
Freaking motivational man. Even better that you seem to be a good dude.
Love how family friendly this is. Subbed!
7:48 their reaction is priceless 😂
Not really
HIPZTER◬ 😹😹
@@yeetwchybaban are you jealous? not rlly
I’m so happy this channel popped up in my feed. I love that you share your family life in your videos. New sub
Lovely kids you have there mate, and nice to see you back benching! all the best.
Every time he does a rep. It Fkn blows my mind . Respect ✊🏼
he’s a professional troller. letting that 350+lb set rest on his chest just to pop it back up like a boss
Pretty much any exercise with pausing is going to be more difficult. I almost always pause at the bottom of squats and below parallel. One time, I was on my third set of 365 for 3 sets of 4 reps, and I couldn't get out of the hole on the 2nd rep. I dropped the barbell on the pins,as my dad's lifting partner tried to grab it. If you're not going to use a spotter, just don't use clips. If you don't use clips, you can just tip the bar to one side so the weights fall off.
Thankfully there’s people out there that will come and help you, unbelievably most people wouldn’t think you could press it. Your pause rep technique is killer and at that weight, u da man
Bro your insane !!!💪
You're
Hey man don’t ever apologize for wanting to share your love for your family. I actually enjoy the fact you’re a normal humble dude and clearly a good dad.
I understand ur bench is what people want to see but i would like to see ur accessories work outs on strength tri's and back. What exercises are you doing. Thanks P.S. family comes 1st no apologies needed. 👊✌🤙
He's shown them in some earlier videos. As he said in this video, pull ups, triceps pressdowns, and then abs at home.
@@JeffO- ok will look for them thanks
@@JeffO- wut about legs😩
@@mrsmirx4176 Need to listen to the video.
i want to see his incline press im curious what his 1RM is for that
So refreshing to see a nice warm hearted guy on here who lifts. Keep up the great work, fellow dad and family man here
9:45 Spotter of the Year :D
FetziDieGranate Tv he is awesome and VERY strong!
@@UFpwrLifter Thought that!
For sure props to him, you could see he was ready to take all that weight if necessary
UFpwrLifter how much does he bench?
@@UFpwrLifter he's a very beefy burly boy let's see more lifting with redtanktopguy
Never apologize for the family portion of these videos, they are the most important and it is great that you are doing it.
10:31 oooh nice arm... 🏊
💪
(Most important thing is listen to your body)
Your kids are the cutest and most well behaved children I've seen in a long time! Excellent job raising them bro!
Hey bro. Your kids are precious, you seem like a great dad keep it up.
It's a great thing to see the joy you bring to your children, don't feel embarrassed! You're a great father., and furthermore a beast at lifting. Keep doing what you do 🚂
I knew it! The cookies make the difference! Will start eating more cookies now, thank you!
Love watching your videos. You’re an inspiration and motivation to me. It’s fun to watch you bench that much at your body weight... the other day I maxed out on bench at 185 and I weigh 125lbs. Hopefully by next week I will try 195!
Man I respect that you want to answer questions, however I love watching your bench pressing and sound of gym, that's pure chill for me - please do not interrupt it.
Sh8erNK I’ll try to keep it at a minimum. I 100% agree!
@@UFpwrLifter Hey if you feel like it's an idea you'd take on, you could always do your vlog of the family. Then, your typical length of video lifting, and finally answer some questions or talk about things etc. Just kinda reminding you that you can always make the videos longer 😉! Do what you wish. Cheers!
@@friedhippo20 @UFpwrLifter Family videos are alright, do not delete them.
what a precious big sister! you are just as successful as parents as you are at benching. So special to see!
What he does for his diet/routine isn’t what the average person needs to do to bench like this. The average person his size will probably plateau at 250lb bench without additional calories or supplements.
Heck, I got 80lbs over him and I'm stuck at 285-295lb for quite a few months (closer to 7-8 months now). His bench is nuts
I was at 155 lb max of 285 all natural.
It's called steroids
@@emilegriffith1473 nah I doubt this dude does steroids. Just doesn't make sense when all he does is just bench. He isn't competing, he isn't building for physique nor size. He's married and has kids and he's been benching for 20+ years. Plus he always discusses how he avoids doing things that jeopardizes his health because it's not fair to his family.
Great work work brotha! Everytime I feel like I've hit my prime and tell myself just rep out with 2 plates only and your vids pop up and a new strength comes over me to keep hitting heavy until I cant anymore. Just wanted to say thanks for the inspiration and getting this 40 yr old man off his butt again!
Just wondering besides pull up work do you do any rear delt or other back work? How do you keep muscle imbalances at Bay?
I think he only focuses on bench and doesn't mind being imbalanced.
@@acrustykrab probably doesn't have any physical issues with it, guy has good genes
Very much enjoy the commentary, would love to see you 'reaction-style' talking thru the video to fill gaps, you have every right and reason to include your family and anyone whom feels otherwise can skip along to the part of the vid they came here for, thx keep it up!!
This is some wholesome content 💜
Man seeing your family makes me want to cry. I want to become a father like u.
161kg is the bane of my existence. You make it look so easy but everytime i try it feels like trying to bench a tractor trailer truck
I cant even bench 225 lbs :'(
@@invisiblesurge44 Don't give up and don't get embarrassed that you're not using as much weight as the guy next to you. Bench press responds to high volume so just put in the work and eat a lot and before you know it you'll be throwing your old 1 rep max through the roof of the gym
Man you are one of the most wholesome channels on youtube. Wish you nothing but love, good health, and success for 2020. Happy New Year man!!
Buddy, you've said before that you get stronger the more people are watching. You should live-stream yourself on a heavy bench sesh, see your power levels spike over 9000 with all the viewers.
I enjoy, not in a creepy way, your family footage man. your kids are just so well behaved. I can only hope to have a happy nice family like yours in the future. Keep going man!
WHAT THE HELL IS THIS GUYS SECRET, IMAGINE HOW MUCH HE WOULD BENCH IF HE WOULD USE GEAR AND TRAIN MORE HE WOULD PROBABLY HIT A WORLD RECORD
OMG! you popped up again into my recommendations after a looooooong time. just the motivation I needed to hit the gym again the first time in 2020. praise the bench gods.
Do you think the big guy just wanted to see if you had fake weight on there? 🤦♂️😂
Dick measuring lol
Ya' mon c’mon
his ego man
Maybe I think ego too cuz he could only do 3 reps and is like 200 pounds heavier
He couldn't comprehend the fact that a guy less than half his weight could lift more than him. Benching 315 is impressive, but not so much when you weigh more than 315lbs.
man ! you are super Man ! family man taking care 2 kids still have energy to can lift those heavy weight , it"s rare
I was wondering about his diet... cookies!
no, rice and nudles

Admire this guy, we both love fam, gym, fishing
I’m benching 155 at 155 pounds 🤷🏻♂️
USK-Glleboy that’s sick and I should say I bench 155 I should say my PR is 155 😂😂😂
@IceFresh im 160 bench 280 for 3. But scared to go to 300 cos i dropped it once to my chest before
I’m 145, 295 bench
Im 143 lbs and bench 245 I hope to hit 270 soon.

Sorry i forgot it. Thanks for the feedback. I added after reading your comments.
I'm honestly so happy that you started uploading again regularly, keep it up bro 💯🤜🏾🤜🏾
You haven’t uploaded any video from a while I thought you might stop recording..I almost unsubscribe you but glad you started again..keep it up 🇳🇿mate..
UFpwrDad :) i idolize you man, you've balanced your life and do what you enjoy. I have a stepchild so I know kids can be very difficult to handle, but are incredibly loveable all the same. Maximum respect to you!
This guy benches 315 like nothing and eats whatever. While I’m over here on a keto and still gaining weight smh.
Keto or no keto you need to maintain calorie deficit. It's just easier to do so with keto as when you get to eat you eat fat and protein which are all extremely filling..
did u know that by keto diet the weight loss is due to muscle loss and not cos of fat loss. U will loss more muscle mass if u stick to keto diet instead of losing fat.
@@midhunskani that's not true . Ketosis is fuel from Ketone Bodies. Ketone Bodies are literally Acetyl CoA derivatives from fats .
Midhun S Not true at all, you mainly lose water weight and over time you lose fat. You maintain muscle mass.
Lol I eat and gain no weight, we have opposite problems
Gotta love it! Gym bros ALWAYS looking out for each other.

Biggest bro to ever bro science.... Bench and only bench. Boys we’ve found the leader we never knew we needed
Have you ever thought about building a training program to sell?
Ruben Castillo “bench 3-5x a week”
Bench is the only press you ever need
@@yomama8212 im going nuts about how everyone talks about rows and rear delt work, and he just does pull-ups and thats all
why the fuck would you want to buy a program made by him, he is built to bench and pretty much only benches. he lacks size because bench press is bad for building an actual chest. thats why you see tons of powerlifters with no chest (unless fat). bench only for chest and low reps = no chest.
@@Dr.WhetFarts Ramen noodles.
I love how u rack the bar, it’s smooth but super deliberate and intimidating. Love ur family too
That was the most random spot I have seen in my 10 years going to a gym. Haha

@@yes-_5153 Broccoli, Chicken, Rice
Don't ever think showing your family bothers your actual subscribers. Been here since the planet fitness bench days when I first found your channel
8:25 Look at this duuude. He doesnt need that much help buddy.
he just trying to be encouraging and helpful I guess
he's probably freaked out seeing someone that size do 385.
He wants to be a part of it HHa I see that in the gym I go. When you go heavy people start talking to you and standing in a ratio maybe hoping you give then strength hhaha like in DgbZ
I for one like that you put your kids in your videos. You know what's more impressive than a 385lb bench? Being a father to two beautiful kids. ( p.s I'm jealous I have one daughter and would be so happy if my 2nd is a boy )
