Flash and his homeboy benches 520 with a spotter

One thing I noticed with the personal trainers at my gym:
1) they are on the juice.
2) Their clients haven't made any improvements in years.

I guess there's no repeat business if you all actually helped your clients lose weight.

Umm excuse me sir? But uhhh shouldn't you be buying my mom some more groceries? Get yo ass off the internet! :hmm:
 
How come all the worlds strongest man contestants are fat? Does fat plus muscle make you stronger. How come you never see skinny ripped worlds strongest man constestants
 
I hear you duppy... but 9 sets on the bench is overtraining... no?

:confused:
it is that simple homie
If I do

3 sets X 230lbs 12-14 reps
3 sets x 250lbs 9-12 reps
3 sets x 260 lbs 7-9 reps

keeping the rest between sets under 3 minutes.

I've had a great chest workout.
my chest is filled with blood(the pump)
I can feel the muscle fatigue.

You're dead wrong about the negatives. You're able to come down with more weight, and that's not what "weakens" you. There are bench workout where you use 120% of your max just for the negative, of course a spotter(s) is necessary.

But yousa Elroy ass nigga who's never pushed any weight. Oh, but wait, you're an expert on this subject too.
I never said you can't bring down more weight than you put up. That's common sense. You have gravity assisting you vs. working against it, however, most that's exactly why muscle failures happen during the negative or just after negative.

You burn out controlling the weight on the way down - suddenly you have nothing in the tanks.

You lift enough Fleshlights and Mock anime ninja swords to know this.
 
the spotter did all the work.
fuck outta here.
even at my biggest 6'6" 275 the most I was benching was 260lbs but I had great chest development.

it ain't about the weight, it is about doing the bench press properly.

the fuck?
i was benching more than that playin jr varsity,
when i was 5'8" 185.
i guess strength is hereditary. :dunno:
 
Yeah - ok, whatever. Nice way to try to spin out of an argument you started but got caught with your pants down in.
If anything I'm saying is wrong or incorrect, not a single person has come in here to co-sign you yet. :dunno:

Know why? Because I am right.

Co-Sign me, what have I said :confused:

Something is really wrong with you, especially with the caught with the pants down shit. What's with the homo shit?

And no, you're not right, that's just what you always try to have people believe, because you have some sort of self esteem problem and this shit feeds your ego. Everyone who actually lifts weights instead of reading or googling knows you don't know what the fuck you're talking about. One day someone who actually cares about this shit or has spare time is going to expose it.

I just have no time to go back and forth with you, because you argue like a chick, and I have nothing to prove. Me arguing about what your body looks like and what you don't do is gay to me. So if you want to believe you're right, cool. Just like with Don, I knew he was lying, but didn't give a fuck. Made comments and moved on. Same shit with you playboy. Your lies aren't harming me any. If you want BGOL to believe you know about everything, cool. Do you. You need this shit in someway, where as it's not that deep to me.

I know what I'm doing 4 or 5 days a week and it sure as hell isn't googling the affects of lifting weights.
 
Question: If the spotter is helpin' you raise/lower the weight, can you REALLY say you lifted the weight? Personally, I don't lift heavy enough to need a spotter. :dunno:

yeah I have always called my max what it was with no spot

otherwise I could hit 400 pounds with a good spot :lol:

they are right though that only one spotter can only do so much to help you with over 500 pounds on the bar

Exaaaaactly! If I had a spot, I'm pretty sure I could bench 520lbs. but, what's the point if I need help? Let's face it, the only reason why most dudes do their 1 rep max is for braggin' rights.

If the spotter can Upright Row or Curl 60-80lbs, then he can reduce your bench by that much.

true, no hate to the OP though...he is a fellow cowboys fan :cool:

...Now attempt one clean rep. If the spotter has to help you with the lift at any point (excluding the lift off from the bench station) then it was a failed attempt...


http://www.physicallytrained.com/info/handbook-3-diagnostic-test.shtml

Cadets will perform a 1-rep maximum of this exercise to determine chest, shoulders, and triceps strength. A cadet should begin with a weight which they are confident they can press. Allow at least 1 minute rest between attempts. The weight will be increased at the cadet�s request and he will perform the exercise again. Allow no more than 5 attempts to reach the 1-rep maximum. Any failed attempt terminates the exercise. The last correct repetition will count as the 1-rep maximum...The spotter will not touch the barbell during the repetition unless absolutely necessary. If the spotter has to assist the lifter during the repetition the event is terminated.
:dunno:

Theres a difference between a spot and an assist. What you're describing is an assist. Its good for a confidence boost but it shouldnt be used as a true max. I used to used my assist as my max rep and would eventually get that max rep with a spot rather than assist. That assist gave me a mental push to actually get to that max rep with only a spot (if that makes sense).
 
Damn,never taught this thread would go 6 plus pages.

kats really do take simple shyt seriously on here.:lol:


its a fuggin bench press people.
 
Ya you need to lose weight, but you do have a lot of power, 500+ pounds isn't something to joke at no matter how big you are. Because you can be immensely fat and weak at the same time. Hit up the cardio and you should be good. Props on the bench.
 
:lol:No disrespect fam, but me and all the other personal trainers always laugh when we see a bunch of fat men benching close to their body weight....I would be more impress if you was benching double your body weight, but keep doing your thing playboi....

:lol: How come all the dumbasses on here are "personal trainers"? Oh yeah, your the same guy who pretended to be a Woman to put a shirtless picture of yourself up.

:confused:

let me explain human biology to you.
I'm really tall, so I have longer arms.
not only is the bench press more difficult for a person with longer arms.
:

Bull fucking SHIT! Plenty of guys @ my gym 6'2" and above repping 315lbs.

I'm calling bullshit on the lift. The spotter should only touch the bar to assist you in your lift off, after that any other contact with the bar is considered as help and a null and void lift. He did help you get past the heaviest part of the lift, the lockout. I'm not trying to take anything away from you, but you can't bench 500 anything. Take some weight off, and work on your benching form and strengthening your sticking points with chains or bands. Also from the looks of it some triceps work like heavy pushdowns or skull crushers would help your lockout a lot. Concentrate more on form and working on your weak point s and your bench will go up. Oh yeah and keep your ass in contact the bench, you can arch, but your asss not touching, that too is considered as a no lift......... Just my two cents.........

Another thing about being big like that, is that it requires more time in the gym to maintain it. If you dont stay consistent, that shit will turn to fat real quick:smh::smh:...Thats why I say being lean and cut is always better than big and bulky...
 
Bar has to travel much further for tall guys - meaning more time under load - meaning quicker fatigue. Have to compensate with wider grip - meaning more work on the chest and less support from your tris
