- Dan Kovacs is the Strongest Man in the world and a Strength coach at Integrated Fitness if-fit.com
Dan has the world record for power lifting raw total
2202 pounds
He gives 3 tips on improving your bench
who the fuck talks during a 400 lbs raw bench LOL
+tontonpacute Lmao ikr? so impressive.
A lot of great lifter
this guy lol
This man right here.
tontonpacute he did a voice over duh
Insane that he's able to talk while pushing 405 pounds straight up.
JJ Kent #beastmode
JJ Kent AND HELD IT FOR 4 SECONDS... SMH JESUS DUDE IS STRONG
+JJ Kent Not really. If his max is at about 600 lbs he's only lifting 2/3 of his potential weight. If someone who is only able to bench 100 lbs talked while benching ~67 lbs, you wouldn't be nearly as impressed.
TheExplodingPumpkin
It's impressive either way, 99% of all people can't even do one rep with 405 and he's so comfortable with that massive weight he's able to talk while pressing it.
Ryan Well he's right. 85% of your 1RM will be easier than your 1Rm because you're used to being able to lift a heavier weight. If you can bench 125 max, then talking while benching 110 wouldn't be a problem either. It's about how strong you are. There's still that same percentage level difference, doesn't matter if the weight is 600 lbs or 100 lbs, it's about how much YOU can lift
I feel like a little bitch after watching this.
I know xD
indeed bro.. and I'm 6 ft 230 lbs LOL
Levi Williams go to gym
Did this man really just do a tutorial with 405
2:44
"Can do it again if you want"
-Thug Life
If there was a weightlifting themed THUG LIFE video, this guy would 100% be in it!!
Maaane i was like damn lol.. legit
Whaaant
Dammit!!! I was gonna write that
benching 405 like its nothing ... what on earth ...
Watch Kali muscle... Or Ronnie Coleman..
This guy is stronger than both of them though...
Damn this guy must be part grizzly bear or something
Watch Kevin Levrone training for the Olympia back in the day, he pressed 405 for 12
For real? Steroids vs no steroids?
Whether he's on roids or not - you gotta love how he's doing 405 lbs w/o a spotter and making it look easy.
Christian Schaefer an incredibly strong man warming up with 405
Please Dude Eat Muffins Drink Juicebox's Looks like someone has got roid rage.
Christian Schaefer Idk bit too harsh sorry whoever I said it too. And if I was hard on roids I would be rko'ing people lol. I bench max 215 what about you?
Please Dude Eat Muffins Drink Juicebox's I don't bench press much. Maybe 88? I barely even workout.
he's got the dad strength alright...dad forearms too
Even has the all white sneakers
So how do I press 405 again? Just outside of shoulder width, feet on ground, and press, right? Okay, BRB.
anabol
I’m guessing you died ??
This man is now dead
Some say he still he's still trying to get past the lift-off
🤣
fuck that much weight without a spotter, respect to this dude
A world Record holder is less famous than Mike Chang?? Wats wrong guys !!
Respect this MAN !
Yeah😈 full of wrong informations.....
***** Probably Half Reps at that! LOL
***** How the is it stupid if it's true? Did you even watch all his videos? He gives out a lot of good tips. It's your lazy ass that can't keep up with it.
I don't mean to disrespect you. But he has helped many out there. What have you done?
And to Saurav Verma;
He's not fit like Mike Chang. He's just strong. I bet this guy can't even run 3 miles. Mike Chang is about being in shape. Not lift heavy weights.
You're putting to fitness guy into one category when it's two different type of training.
And honestly, I don't even like Mike Chang. His training isn't for me.
I'm just saying. He's smart and know how to advertise himself. This guy just makes video and share it for free. He's not putting adds on youtube like Mike Chang is. That's why he's not famous. He can if he do more advertisement.
If you guys are in the fitness community. We all respect one another. Not try to clown on each other.
It's call 'Tips.'
It may not work for you, but it works for others.
***** Ohh, I'll have to look him up.
Thanks man!
***** LOL. Alright, first of all his name is Elliott Hulse. He uses mostly all of his words correctly; don't blame him if your vocabulary is so limited that you can't even understand. The Hodge Twins do not have a deep knowledge base about fitness and their videos are more geared towards beginners and "bros".
P.S. Based on your profile picture, I can tell that you a huge amateur that probably has an enormous ego. Go do some more chest and bicep work son.
i love benching theres one in my local park sit on it for hours
improve what ??
Any tips to do it better?
Idiot
Lmao
@@JeffSpicoliable talk to the HAND, Spicoli!
Damn you pulled that 805 like it was nothing. I think you could of went 20lbs more.
kuririn1975 He is such a strong man
+kuririn1975 i was thinking the same..the speed on that
+NICK STICK OF BUTTER keep lifting for women you pathetic little punk
yah
Pete Rubish is coming for that title
RESPECT!!!! The way he benched 180kg after a pause like that means he is freaky strong also.the bench king!
Michael Woods Thank you!
+geese man If it's within the rules it counts. End of.
+geese show how you press 450 pounds with that arc and we can talk.
Too all of those talking crap about how he is on roids and crap like that, the meet he was at where he broke those records was drug tested by the sanctioning body. lol and for the guy who said that 405lbs isn't possible without roids on bench press.. You simply need too spend less time here telling others what isn't possible and spend more time working towards proving that you yourself can do it if you simply put in the work and effort it takes and don't make excuses for your misperceived self imposed limitations too be passed on to others. lol
awesome comment
Lynn You are right These people are just jealous the guy is great!!
lol uhh bud I compete in natural powerlifting and have done a 415 myself at 220 bracket . There are people out there who simply work smarter towards their goals than others. Just because someone is strong it doesn't mean they are on drugs . I have videos up of heavier lifts than that at 242 and 275 bracket bud . It just isn't what people are used too that's why they automatically think someone is drugged when they see someone who has competed since a young age lifting that much. People are defensive towards what they don't understand.
search for some of my news stories bud if you want too see the videos my full name is Jesse Jester I have another channel under that name as well. Best of luck in your training bud.
*****
405 is most definitely possible while staying natural. I would encourage you to try out real powerlifting style training that focuses on speed and strength, rather than your normal bodybuilding regiment. Good news is that you should be pretty symmetrical and therefore at lesser risk of injury under big weights.
This guy is nowhere near the strongest man in the world. I'm not sure he's even top 10. I wish these youtube videos would stop slapping the "Strongest Man in the World" label on everyone that's very strong.
He said he's the record holder in his weight class
That doesn't necessarily make him the strongest man in the world. There are other men that can beat him at all three of the big lifts in terms of powerlifting. And if you expand our criteria to include strongman competitors he could get blown away.
I'd say that the record this man holds would make him "the most well-rounded powerlifter in the world" which is still a great achievement and it's a fuck of a lot more than me of course-- but he's not the strongest.
I Try and be Nice If you can out-lift this guy in the 3 exercises your point is valid. If not... take a seat lol
Being strong has nothing to do with being logical. I don't need to be stronger than him to know he's not the strongest, get what I mean?
I'm not saying the guy's weak, and I'm definitely not saying I'm stronger than him. He's way out of my league, and he's very impressive! But that doesn't mean I can't call him out whenever he pretends to be something he's not.
But using your logic, we could rightly say that once this guy deadlifts 1150 pounds and push presses 274 pounds one handed for reps like Zydrunas Savickas can, then he's valid ;)
I Try and be Nice Can you tell me who is the strongest man?
Jason Genova could do this if it weren't for those three car accidents, bro. It piss, it's revolting.
Are you perverts you tube channel subscriber?
سيكينينك إت بيس
WOW 405 paused hahaha. insane strength.
If it isn't paused it isn't a real bench press. ALL bench press records have a pause
JS8700 But that was way more than just a pause. Guy ate some lunch then took a nap under the bar before pressing it back up.
Riza Khan He is a great guy to work with
+Chad Ashton lmao!! 😂😂
Riza Khan
Paused AND self-narrated.
Okay, all the 'experts': Post your expert views of what this guy did wrong. You know, all of you that cant bench 315 or 405 or 2x your bodyweight. I know you're out there!!!
nice comment bro 😊👌
I can hit 315. I'll post a video soon
Jaydo 😂😂😂I could bench 1234lbs I'll post a vid soon 😂
i left my phone in my truck. lol.
Mr1sammyd21 still waiting...
my 3 bench press tips:
1. juice + 10h sleep a day
2. more juce + 12h sleep + good nutrition
3. a hell lot of juice + 14h sleep + expensive & good nutrition + good genetics
man also alot of hard work. Guys jump on drugs every fucking day and lift and look like shit. Drugs don't set the lions apart from lambs.
you forgot the 4 hours in the gym everyday.
This made me laugh :D Best comment ever!
Frej Fallqvist
doesn´t matter. make sure you inject enough roids while drinking the juice.
Stefan P Now, now boys! Let's behave ourselves, here!! No need to get terse! We're just talkin' weightlifting, no big deal!
wont be 315 pounds for long the price of the pound is going down. #brexit
I hear 315lbs is actually the same as 315 Euros now...
dafuq?
Niels Thomsen speak English
Not the strongest man in the world. Everyone knows that Rosie O’Donnell is the world's strongest man.
W😂
LOL!
Fucking hilarious !!!!!
You spelled Eddie Hall wrong.
How come there are 1000's of strongest men in the world? So confusing, like I thought there could only be one at any given time. Stupid me.Cause if they said one of the strongest, that wouldn't be believable.
Great video. The foot position helped bring my bench from 275x8 touch and go to 275x10 with paused reps. Massive difference from something that sounds minor. The difference in stability is staggering.
The number of people who claim to be the "strongest man in the world" amazes me.
Except he was at one point
This guy's tips took my bench from 385 to 405 instantly, narrowing my grip a bit and putting my feet under me instead of out made a big difference
Short arms and a thick torso are definitely an advantage. I'm 61 years old, 6'2" with fairly long arms so it limits what I can do. But I can still crank 275 for 4 reps. So I guess that's okay for my age.
That's great. Make sure your eating nuts, seeds, coconut oil, sardines to keep your joints youthful. Get rid of bread and sugar.
***** very good
Being taller and longer arms are an advantage not a disadvantage
@@dessertlimbo not in bench press
@@saucegotti8538 deadlifts for sure tho, them long arms decrease the motion
i swear ive heard of 10 different names that are claimed to be the strongest man in the world
Tyler Sheremet Good point, that is typically because there are so many different ways to define the world's strongest man. With suits, without suits, in strongman, in powerlifting, in olympic weightlifting etc.
i bench 9 million
i bench 2 liters
Yo Elliot!
micrograms?
I warm up with benching you benching your max.
lorenzo duran i bench the bench
I'm just mad he makes a 455 pound bench press look like warm up weight.
This can't be real life
while he is strong, his lifts do not add up to the strongest man in the world title.
Agreed, a 2200 total doesn't begin to approach what some people doing today, close to 3000.
Probably the "strongest in the world" in a specific weight class in a small federation somewhere out in the middle of nowhere. Like how I'm the "strongest man in the world" in a federation that I created where I'm the only competitor.
are you talkin to me old sport?
lol that's not the point
You guys act like this is the first time anyone has hit 405 😂😂😂 and he only did it once and those bumper plates WTF!!!
OK...you're strong, but no expert on physiology apparently. Your rear delts are not activated in ANY pushing movement. They are for pulling. Hence why they're in the back of your shoulder. It is most definitely your front delts that take a huge portion of the load.
If you position yourself correctly and activate your entire upper back for a big benchpress you certainly would feel a good activation even on your back muscles.
Bench is not only about your front, you need a big stable back aswell.
I often have sore rear delts after bench day. Especially from incline.
You're all idiots. Then your back isn't developed enough. Look at physiology. Look at how muscles function. If you get any back work done by benching then you never do back. Yes, the rear dealt stabilizes the shoulder joint but if its already developed then you won't feel or gain anything in it from bench presseing
So lets critise the entire fitness industry for say this. You clearly don't know jack shit about a proper bench. I am not going to argue with you because you are to dense to look how to properly bench. I guess I can say that it doesn't come directly from pressing but more keeping your back tight and squeezeing you back at the bottom to pop out of the bottom for the movement. But I can say I experience the same thing where my back gets sore, and I also do 1 heavy back movement every night I train and I do face pulls every night. I do not have an under developed back by any means.
Same reason I didn't comment back. Not gonna argue with someone online. But
I stand by my previous comment.
I could do this with one hand........
But of course i'd die
Good tips. The problem is if you get 10 lifters youll get 10 different techniques.... whos right and whos wrong
Depends on genetics and feelings, if you feel it out you know what works for you and what doesn't you just won't do it or do it the other way better that is the way you lift bro. =)
Have to try different things mate.
Exactly
Agreed
Well I don't think there is any absolute right or wrong, but even if there is I would assume that if anyone is right it would be this guy.
Good tips. I'm all natural and I'm in between prepping 315 and maxing out around 365. I feel good when it comes of the rack, but getting back up just kills me. Watching this video lets me know I'm doing something wrong. Thx
Its interesting to note that when the bar is against his sternum you can clearly see before he presses there is leg drive going on. Its almost like a power wave that starts from his feet that arrives at his chest and the bar bounces off. If you could explain a little more about that technique it would be awesome.
He explains a bit here- 2:05
Basically, its a slight push which makes the bench more explosive.
There are a lot of guys on TH-cam giving bench press tips. Not all of them are legit. Anyone giving bench press tips while holding a 405 bar on their chest..... is legit.
:41 to 1:18 ...establishing credibility lol.
i wish i could bench 405 three times with no spotter. DAFUQ
you will one day
how?
+matteocicaloni being consistent. Eating, sleeping, working out with proper form and not a big dumb ego
Joseph Lara it is impossible, naturally, for most people
I've never seen someone nonchalantly bench 405. Matter of fact I've never seen anyone bench 405 in person.
This guy just said rear delts are the prime movers for the bench press.. I don't think he understands the human anatomy.
Strong, but definitely not the strongest. Look up Stan Efferding or Eric Lillibridge. That's just powerlifting too. Most world class strongmen are stronger than this guy.
Exactly, Andrey Malanichev and Derek Kendall too. Even Richard hawthorn and KK should be mentioned as well.
Indeed.
Dan wanna demonstrate hand placement etc with 135? 205? Na throw 405 on that bitch. Dude is strong as fuck.
I love powerlifting, but being the best in some part of powerlifting, doesn't in any way make you the strongest man in the world. How about you try to compete in, oh I don't know, world's strongest man? If you can even qualify that is.
Strongest man in the world? the fuck this isn't brian shaw or big z
If he didn't win the world's strongest man competition last December then he's not the world's strongest man!!
+Geerladenlad He's not even a strong man dude, he just does powerlifting.
+baconfromhell666 can't tell if your trolling or not because of that goku picture, but if you can bench 405 your strong
Infinity545 Maybe you misunderstood me, which I would understand. Didn't say that he's not strong, but that he's not a strong man, like the sport "strong man" :)
He isn't a strong man. he competes in powerlifting competitions. totally different approach to to lifting
The Asian dude? Like Montresor says in The Cask of Amontillado, "I have my doubts."
Talking through 405 then hops up saying we can do it again if you want. My goal has been 315 for years. 57 now and still trying. 225/10 should get me to 300 but you need a spotter to PR so I am going to have to find one. Did 265/4 heaviest I have gone but still equal to 300/1 rep max. Need that 15# more. I hope to hit before I am 60 or get hurt trying.
when you can do 225 for 15 to 17 reps you will bench 315
this guy is confident and very strong
That guy's a beast. He's on another video slinging weights with Ronnie Coleman and Shawn Rhoden at Ronnie's gym and house.
Fuck me, the day I can have a casual conversation while benching 405.. Like COMMON!
strongest man in the world???

Holy shit people always gotta find a way to hate. Look, regardless of how big is belly is or how fat you think he is or whatever, this shit isn't easy, it's remarkable. So much respect for him.
I'm trying to bench press 350. I can get it down but, can't get it up again. I can't get a full 1 rep out of it. It's really driving me crazy. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
lets see owen gordon post up a video of him doing this
What about the Asian guy that weighs 135 and can bench over 300? I’d say he’s a a lot stronger since this guy is pretty fat he’s able to lift his own weight as anyone should be able to do. But weighing 135 and lifting in the 300-400’s is impressive. This isn’t really at all.
I can barely bench the bar 😧
Im tryna get stronger because everyone is making fun of me about this.
LMAO ITS ONLY 45 LBS
SoulKevin_ i improved by a tiny bit im still hella weak 😅
+XxZugyXx are you a girl or a boy? If you're a girl that's k
+SoulKevin_ 15 year old boy
+XxZugyXx ...I can bench 155 and I'm 14
not strongest man in the world. but is very strong.
You're thinking of Brian Shaw
Wish i had the belly to help me bounce the weight up! :(
+Ray McCleary He didn't bounce it.
For a power lifter he isn't too chunky.
Keep reading those books instead of actually lifting kids ... There is no substitute for time under the bar.
Seems like there's 100 strongest men in the world
Randy Silverwood Many different ways to measure who is the strongest
My dad could do 175 when he was 11 then when he was 12 he could do 225 then 13 he could do 285 and when he was 14 going on 15 he could do 350 and when he joined the usmc he did 450 and did 375 for reps after he got out he could do 475 and did 405 for reps now he's 50 and he can do 420 and he does 350 for reps which i think is suprising for a person his age
Is this guy kidding me with the "Strongest man in the world" title? Has he even heard of people like Jon Paul Sigmarson, Marious Pujinowski , Bill Kazmire or O.D Wilson who could deadlift over 1000 lbs?
That's equipped lifting though. This guy is raw and he's on about his weight class.
Then it should say strongest men in the world for three lifts in his weight class, not in the world.
Mitchell Vaughan Benedict Magnussen hold's the world record at 460 kg raw
None of those people you've named deadlift 1000lbs. You're incredibly misinformed.
O.D Wilson got 1000 but he is dead now.
"I can do it again if you like."
That's what I'm talking about! I couldn't even do it once if you like.
1ST TIP STEROID 2ND TIP STEROIDS 3 TIP STEROIDS
Haters gonna hate
Ok, I've used all 3 tips, but still can't hit 3 plates, what now?
Beef Broth
dude steroids make u gain muscles faster by lifting lol
rap RD So your saying it's impossible to bench 405 without steroids? Any person can bench that weight if they have trained a long time,has the right genetics and just have the power of will. People like you think if you take steroids you will put on a serious mass in a short period of time. You have to go through the hard work and do everything right!
rap RD You can still go on steroids and lift like shit. If you take steroids and do freakin smithmachine benchpresses you fuck up your shoulders and end up with twiggy alien arms(that i asume you have). I have seen people on roids lift less and have less size than me, Roids are a supplement to proper lifting and a prober diet. If you take roids and live on oreos and frenchfries you wont get anywhere. you will then be a twiggy alien with oversized forearms compared to the rest of your body from all the masturbation and channel surfing you do.
405 pounds for a warm-up? We get it dude you win.
So true about triceps and rear delts being a large part of bench press, I noticed this today doing bench, I felt it in my tri's and rear of my shoulder more than my chest, I think if I work on building strength in those muscles I could see a good increase in bench strength, great tips.
95TurboSol Thanks Turbo we appreciate the comment!
Right now i am 14 going on 15 and i weigh 177 pounds and my max is 205 but I do 125 for reps
"Strongest man in the world"
levi hernandez lmfao
Nice, I'm trying to get back on mine 💪💪💪💪💪🏋🏋🏋🏋🏋
Yeah hes not the strongest man in the world lol
637.5 lb = ~289kg. So, Kirill Sarychev's best bench press is 335kg (738lb)
not the stringest man in the world. zydrunas is and all the other is stronger then this retired dude.
+James Taggert Key word, Retired.
Worlds strongest man if you don't count Andrey Malanichev, Eric Lilliebridge, Stan Efferding, Zahir Khudayarov, Dan Green, Mark Henry, Brian Shaw, Eddie Hall, Benidikt Magnusson, Hafthor Bjornsson, Zydrunas Savickas, Derek Poundstone......
Do I need to continue here?
This made me want to go back to the gym right now. As a matter of fact, I will be back later........
Da Mofo Man 1969 Awesome! Hope we inspired you!
Legend has it that he is still on his way to the gym
My old football coach Stand Sutteer was in the 2000 lb club on those excercises. You dont impress me much
whats your total then
445 bench, 585 deadlift, 515 squat=1545, which is irrelevant because My comment was about my HS football coach.
shit nvm you're actually pretty strong
steward rofa
Didnt say I wasnt fat as well. Though if you look at the dates of those vids they are quite old. Ive lost 70lbs since March which kinda sucks cuz none of my clothes fit anymore, and increased my weightlifting quite a bit too, increasing it from the 350 lb bench it was. Good on you for doing your research!
+Stab Blooder You do realize that these exercises don't mean shit except that you are strong in THOSE positions. But I guarentee you can't straight bar curl 300 lbs with good form or bicep curl 150 lbs in one hand with good form. Usually big guys do these types of execersices just show off when in reality its useless in fights and ensures slow speed from all the mass on their bodies. I believe a big man who can win real fights and is agile to be FAR more impressive than a guy who just lays on his back and pushes a heavy bar in a CONVENIENT way above his chest. This is the problem with weight lifters, most of you are obsessed with the fact you can lift pieces of iron that were shaped CONVENIANTLY for you to grab.You may be able to curl 275 lbs but that just means your arms have adapted to lift that weight in THAT specific position. But if you tried to lift a 275 man, you won't be able to lift him in any other way than THAT position. Powerlifters, Bodybuilders, you all just TRAIN to lift weights in specific positions but you cannot DO anything else because you don't TRAIN for anything else. If I put a powerlifter and sumo wrestler in an arena to wrestle eachother, the sumo wrestler would always WIN do the fact that he was TRAINED TO WRESTLE AND WIN, he was TRAINED FOR THAT SITUATION unlike the powerlifter.
So, when you guys boast about how "badass" you all are because of what you do in the gym, remember this, YOU DONT KNOW HOW TO DO ANYTHING ELSE. You are bound to ONE skill and that's it. The rest is pretty much based on your genetics, some of you might be able to take a punch and some of you will go down after the first strike to the head. So, there's that consideration. But if I put Rich Piana or Da Hulk or The Mountain in the same room with a master MMA fighter, no referee, no rules, they'd all fail one by one. The Mountain's size would be his worst enemy, Da Hulk would be too slow & Rich would be overwhelmed by the fighter's quick & precise strikes aswell.
tip one: tren
tip two: clen
tip three: amphetamines
tip number 1: get steroids
dude i know all the tips which makes sense, but this is so true. Nothing does help as roids.
+DushanNish but is it necessary to mention it ?
DushanNish all these lame ass fools that never step in a foot in the gym have so much to say. The same motherfuckers that say “I don’t want to get that big” o just want to be cut 😂
Finally someone that's knows wtf he is talking about
I don't care how strong you are you need a spotter.
what a nonsense comment.
I don't care how spot you are you need a stronger!
do you use a spotter with your 70% max of 100 pounds poodz pie? didnt think so
Why?
***** hahaha that comment cracked me up man!
wouldnt wanna fuck with this guy lol. good tips
As a old school guy who lifts in his basement I have a question. I have the old smaller 45 lb. steel plates. Why is he using these newer larger plates? Any advantage to them? Then on tip no.3 he goes back to my old school style plates. The guy pushed 405 lbs off his chest like it was nothing, that's impressive!
Rubber plates don't damage the floor like steel.
you my friend are strong as hell.
Eric Lillibridge 2,353 Raw Total (no knee wraps) as a 308 and only 24 years old. This guy just ate shit by about 150 lbs. LOOOL
Eric Lilliebridge is the best Raw Lifter (no knee wraps) in history. Dan Kovacs is one of them who just got his record taken. At lease he had a record. What have you done?
talder123 Just saw your videos. Seems like you've been powerlifting for quite some time. Carry on. Just don't shit on others who have done more than you and just because he got beat makes him all of the sudden a loser. Most people will never total 2204 yet alone 2000
talder123 LOL, I can tell you one thing I haven't done. I've never called myself "The strongest man in the world". It takes BIG BALLS to call yourself that. Especially in Kovacs position. A man who holds no major records. Nice Powerlifting total, but nothing that could ever possibly make himself pass as the strongest man in the world.
JS8700 still pales in comparison to Karl Yngvar Christensen, 2706 total and made it look easy.
oliskranz He competes in gear. You must be that special type of stupid. He pulled like 859 I think wearing a deadlift suit and Lilliebridge did 887 raw. I think he squatted 1080 wearing a suit and knee wraps. Eric has done 915 with just a belt and sleeves as a 308, not a superheavyweight. And he only trained without wraps for like 6 weeks.
the advice on foot placement alone is worth a month of HBO
he freakin paused with 405... took a breathe... then pushed it like it was 225... jesus man... i need to go to the gym
Respect to him. But come on guys if your hardcore trainer. You all know it's steroids. Also years of lifting. I started training at 16. Max weight 300lb. On gear close to 5 plates. But it took me few years still on gear. Training 5 days week. Eating like animal. But believe me the gear does make huge difference. Depends what you want size. Or size shape. That's whole different story. And different drugs.
Im always weary of youtube videos teaching bench but this guy is the real deal! Great Vid and perfect advice!
lol @ those thick ass bumpers from the warm up. You couldn't possibly fit another plate on that bar
I'm 20, i weght 72 kilos and i lift 94 kilos in bench press 1 rep. I have been training for two months. Is that good?
solid! keep it up :)
ok, thanls for respond!
Hello there stellan skarsgaard brother
That heel trick sounds cool I'm gonna try that next time
Especially at 2:05-2:10 I am even more impressed you can just keep casually talking as if you are at the dinner table while you lift such big weight....
Big bench.
Andrey Malanichev definitely smashed this guys total at RUM 7
Dang dietary supplement should I finish continue thinking five years ago you to start
This is the exact technique i use. Lower it deliberately, pause, then drive a straight path to lockout. Bench feels incredibly smooth.
It's videos like these that motivate me to work harder and weight train more. The most I ever got was only 270.
Deion Bais Glad we could inspire you, keep up the good work. 270 is still a very solid bench
Deion Bais about 330 with me. mind you that was on a two week on two week off course of underground lab dbol at 10 mg daily. for 6 weeks.
Bill Shatner
1:07 Makes 405 look like light weight, wow.
I will be glad to listen based on this alone.
Hes not the strongest man in the world. Brian Shaw is. look it up
He was still easily talking when lifting 405 lbs. INSANE!
