Single ply benchers hitting 3x bodyweight.
List them off.
hes a midget. Whats the point of even trying to bench press. What did he prove? That he could woop someones ass. No, he would get get thrown around like a little chin girl. Does it prove that he is strong? A lttle considering that he beasly went down and could only do heavy in bench and nothing else.

Buddy, you are on the wrong forum. While his ROM is absolute shit, he is still holding +550 pounds in his hand and moving it.
If you put 315 pounds in my hands, i wouldn’t be even able to hold it.
It’s still somewhat impressive.

that is a terrible comparison!
I’m more than willing to listen to your reasons. Why?
Honestly this is how i see it…
Rarely do you see guys that are over 7 ft dominate in basketball, most of the best players are under 7 ft actually. Take a look at someone like lebron james or kobe bryant they are the best in the nba, but are no even close to the tallest. They are the best regardless of height.
Yet i always see powerlifters that have ridiculously short range for motions are the best benchers, but they are not necessarily the strongest. Is that not what PL is all about?
I still think the lift he made is impressive, but it seems like cheating to me. Am i the only one who thinks like this? I don’t think so. But i doubt anyone thinks lebron or kobe are cheaters…
The very best powerlifters in the world aren’t midgets either. They are still mostly shorter people, but they are just guys with good genetics who train their asses off. This is exactly like what you are saying for lebron and kobe so stop arguing.[/quote]
you are right they are not the best, but they do bench the most for there weight…thats what i was saying.
anyway i am done arguing, i just don’t find that bench as impressive as someone with a full range of motion.
i like your name by the way

Not to take anything away from that guy but I done give a fuck about some midget arching his back and moving the bar 2 inches.My buddy Billy is 6’2" with long arms and i have seen him bench over 500 with no arch and elbows tucked close.Thats impressive.
Next time he benches heavy i will ask him to record and i will post it.
That’s awesome… can’t wait to see the video.
How heavy is “Billy”? And what’s his squat and deadlift like? Reckon you can get vids of them too so we can all swing from his nuts too??[/quote]
Your funny
here’s another one. who fucking cares

There’s real world strength and competitions. Competition is about moving the biggest weight without breaking the rules. Making it harder for one’s self would be stupid.
And if you’re saying it’s a joke that a small guy is lifting with a short ROM,then you’re basically saying that the guy himself is a joke for not having longer limbs,which is a pretty ‘nazi’ opinion; to exclude people like that.
At what point does having good proportion or leverages (for powerlifting or weightlifting) become too much?
And seven foot tall people are rare as hen’s teeth. That could be a major reason why they don’t dominate in basketball.

If everyone was 3 foot nothing and they used bench shuits we would be seeing a whole lot of 500 plus benchers.
This is impressive.
130 lb bodyweight
2.20 times bodyweight raw
loooong stroke and small arch.

I train at a gym with about 30 members. More than half of them bench 500, and a handful of them are doing that raw at over 6ft tall. You have no idea what you are talking about. Stop trolling.
Yeah its a lot of weight but he only moved the bar like 6 inches

I bet if they were 3 feet they be doing 700 and I do know what I am taking about. I bench about 340…If I was a midget I would be doing about 400 plus and I know that a lot of people could do more then that but thats not the point. Secondly midgets have small arms in comparison to their height even if they are midgets).

I shall watch that everyday until I can bench at least 2 times bodyweight. That is absolutely phenomenal, thanks for sharing! Of course I’m working on my arch to shorten the ROM!
No one should have to apologize for their genetics. These guys are simply doing the best they can with what they have, which is precisely what I think all powerlifters are trying to do. Perhaps there will be a federation that pops up that will discriminate by height, this tall or this short, I wouldn’t be surprised. Regardless, I think we should admire the dedication and whether you want to think it is an impressive lift or not, who gives a shit.

Well it sounds like weird but I do run a 5.6 and could do flip and splits which is gay to see.
