    I think everyone in the powerlifting world, hates the way Eric Spoto benches lol. It's like damn, there he goes repping my max bench, and he's just playing with it. Love the way how he does really short reps and then gradually adds more motion until it's almost at that full range.

    • @jlirving
      @jlirving 10 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      One thing that annoys me is the way people just discredit others achievements. He's on gear, doesn't count, he's 300+ pounds doesn't count or the big one he's lifting equipped can't bench (lift) raw for shit.
      Like they're all strong, they're all competing in their separate fields. You don't run up to 400m sprinters and call them slow because Usain Bolt runs 100M faster than they do.

    Just started weightlifting a month ago. My max bench is 145. He's tossing that around literally bounding it in his hands.
    Then works his way up to 705. I just can't even comprehend that. I can't even comprehend half of that yet. Absolutely crazy.

      UnknownXV Unless you bench close to 600, you will never be able to comprehend it. Its just unfathomable. Ive pressed 440 and held 500 in my hands before and lemme tell ya, my joints and bones felt like they were gonna snap. I COULD NOT imagine adding 205 lbs to that and not just benching it, but pause benching it with ease as he did.

      from some perspective genetics are the most unfair, 1 man can inject all he wants, eat the best food and train extremely hard, but still only bench 500/600 pounds
      hormones can only enhance the genetic potential, if ur a weak small ass dude, sorry man u might look jacked with roids and stuff but benching 700 pounds aint happening ;p

      Fat_black-cat depending on if you include gym lifts and potential strong benchers, I think there are quite a few guys who have a chance at getting in the 7’s in comp this year. James Strickland’s training cycle is going really well, and J-ho has always been very close. Kirill just needs to decide to compete again and 750 could fall if he has a good cycle and stays healthy. Then there are Josh Bryant’s other guys who I can’t quite remember all of them but I think he has two or three more in the superheavies who all benched high 6’s this year. Also that guy who incline benches all sorts of crazy stuff on instagram, I think he hit 650 on incline with a duffalo bar, but I’m not sure how good he is flat.
      So much crazy potential, not to mention if Eddy Hall put some work in on bench he could probably get close to 7, even at a lighter body weight

    half reps are the shit for training. everybody always rips someone for doing half reps but they're a great training tool, obviously Spoto loves it and bench monsters like Jeremy hoornstra and Derek Kendall do it too. Most pro bodybuilders can bench a ton without even thinking about it and they bench without locking out. I've started half repping when I bench for reps and my strength has gone through the roof, must underrated bench training tip I think.

No. It takes impressive genetics for a 600 lb bench, and even more so for a 700 lb one. Yes, there are probably stronger guys that have never competed. But nobody will ever bench 1000 raw. And I disagree. The people that are so gifted they could set records usually do. I myself know a guy who benched more than 225 his first time ever, but he's nowhere close to 700. I also know a guy who benched 195 @ 140 his first time ever, and he never reached a ridiculous number either.
