I dunno how old he is. At first I thought “That ISNT the Jackson I was thinking of… this will probably be funny though” and then made my housemate confirm what I was watching.
He then said “He’s not athletic. I’d like to see him on the football field”.
… Palm met face.

Especially since he’s not very good at benching. Crazy strong, don’t get me wrong, but look at how loose he is on the bench.
And it was still that easy.[/quote]
How is he “loose” on the bench? Other then doing a bounce off the chest i see nothing at all wrong with his benching technique you fool[/quote]
He’s probably referring to his legs and especially foot position[/quote]
That and he didn’t have an arch set; not that a football player should go to PL extremes, but his low back/abs were moving around a bit.

There was a guy who benched just like him at Gold’s one evening. He benched 225 for what seemed like 2 minutes straight, played with 315, 365,405,455,475 and finally did 495 for 2. Some guys just have all the luck with this lift. It was one of the only times where I was surprised by someone benching.

That was probably me.
I actually could have got the 495 for about 7, but frankly, I just got bored.

Yeah, someone really should tell him that the Bench Press isn’t functional for football.
So depending on how much this guy weighs, he is potentially able to break powerlifting records for fun based on what I’m seeing in this thread?
Possibly if Jackson cuts weight and tightens up his form. According to one of the links jackson is 300 lbs while the 19 year old in your link weighed in at 267 so there is a difference there. especially on form. One kept tight form and paused on the chest the other bounced and lifts his ass off the bench, not quite the same. Still strong as hell, just not yet powerlifting record breaking.
Aint a powerlifter though. Mental.
One of my mates who never lifts weights deadlifted today. 500lbs. Fucking stupid.

Well, actually, he’s only in the AFL. I’m just saying. Perhaps its not very functional for him.

It does make you wonder though. The guy I saw playing around with huge weights on the bench only did 315 for a few reps on his front squats, using a smith machine. I have seen a few videos on youtube where players are posting up their bench presses, but never their squats. Of course, they all claim to rep out over 500, but just don’t seem to have the videos to prove it.
