I disagree calt. Clearly he wouldn’t be benching shirtless if he couldn’t get traction on the bench, he obviously wasn’t slipping even with arch and leg drive so what does it matter? And the foot dance wasn’t during the lift at all… so again, it’s inconsequential.
Here’s another one of myself I posted in another thread a couple months ago. The 390 squat and the deadlift fail at 475 are both pretty goddamned slow haha. I’m still cranky that my grip failed right before I locked that lift out. But my training partners’ screaming is pretty funny.

Correct. On a competition bench, you actually get WAY more grip without a shirt. You see a lot of big lifters doing this in training actually. The Lilliebridges for example always lose the shirt when their benching gets heavy.
Anyway I didn’t bother correcting calt. He’s just a troll. Only ten posts, one of which was telling Jim Wendler to grow up haha.
Haha I figured as much. Still, if you’re gonna troll at least pick easier targets than a 315 bench and Jim Wendler haha.
mahwah that deadlift is HILARIOUS haha. That might take the cake in this thread so far. It’s SO disheartening to fail at that point in a lift after like 10 seconds of trying lol. How big were you in the video? And have you pulled 600 since then?

Omg you lucky bastard is 18" just above the knee for you?
hahaha It starts just above middle knee cap but then with a Oakie or Texas Deadlift Bar I can easily pull the slack out to well over my knees before the plates even begin to leave the boxes haha there are few pros to barely being 5’7’ and having short legs.

Shit that would be amazing! Although when I train them I typically think about the big pros. 18" deadlift for Brian Shaw is just like halfway up his shin lol.

No kidding. I lift in the 198s and I have since pulled 600 but red-lighted for a knee locking and unlocking. That one was more disheartening because for a couple seconds I had actually thought that I finally got that bastard.
Hey, I’ve seen that first video of you before. You’re a great squatter man, love your style. And that is some serious hard work you put into that workout haha, deserves serious respect.
Nice squatting. Boils my berry when I watch some shit house spotters like that. One of them is very attentive whilst the other is standing around doing bugger all. Need a middle between the two.
