Flash and his homeboy benches 520 with a spotter

[Complex]

This topic is funny.

Flash, the homegrown you used to post looked like pure d shit, so I wouldn't brag about those hoes

My suggestion is to do some cardio. It annoys me when dudes go there and just lift.

my nigga fuck outta here with that bullshit.. u got more ass and titties than kat stacks(no homo)

u a fat swole nigga.. who u foolin drop that weight and get healthy!

You couldn't even bench your own body weight but talkin shit?

son, I don't have to lie about the amount of weight I bench.
when I go to the beach
I don't have a problem walking around without my shirt on.

you don't have to bench 400 lbs to have great chest development.
that is a fact.
moderate weight and high intensity is going to build more muscle than high weight, low reps and zero intensity.
that is a fact.

Dude, you seriously don't know what you're talking about.

That's genetics and not anything special you're doing.

If you can't bench your body weight and you work out regularly something is wrong.

I think you dudes is misunderstanding me.
I am sure when I was at 275 I could bench my body weight and even more.
but
I never did a 1 rep max.
I never felt the need too.
I always get gains when I lift
so
I don't need to justify why I'm lifting by doing a 1 rep max on the bench press.
don't see the point.
anyway
I'm done with this thread.

 

[mfallcone]

I can bench 230.

 

[crackheadlou]

Propz to you playa the bench in it self was a bit improper( bouncing that weight off the chest) but still impressive never the less. I would seriously encourage you and the other guy to consider dropping your weight though by getting into more cardio active activity this will help you lean out so the babes can see the strength you possess and increase your stamina.Good job.

 

[the flash]

thanks for the love yall,lol at lonestar

 

[nyeleman]

It seems everu=yone on BGOL has Hulk like strength, am the only one benching small numbers. I think some of posters are flat out lying.

 

[4North1Side2]

I think you dudes is misunderstanding me.

I fully understand where you are coming from but the thread wasn't about bitches and putting out lean muscle.

It seems everu=yone on BGOL has Hulk like strength, am the only one benching small numbers. I think some of posters are flat out lying.

I and a couple of others mentioned that we don't bench much...I can hardly bench press 135lbs anymore...















But I can incline bench press 100lb DB's in each hand for 10 reps at will now. I also repped 405lbs for 3 on the chest press machine.

 

[the flash]

complex cut it out i got quality hg

 

[ajamelh07]

damn I was feeling good about my personal best of 405 and homey just shit all over it

 

[Heist]

Props.

I know where my limits are and would never attempt that much on a bench. Maybe just once on a Smith's machine - but never free baring it.

And to all the clowns in here, I don't think you understand the sort of focus and raw strength you need to get that much weight up and down at least 1x. We're talking about A QUARTER TON here, fellas. You have to respect that.

It's not getting it up part that's the hardest, it's the negative side - the coming DOWN that takes the most concentration and weakens muscles the fastest because we're not design to deal with high weight on the contraction side. The explosion and expansion side is what our muscles are designed for.

Anyone who has tried some power lifting knows what I'm talking about. That last inch on the way down before you hit your chest - that's the killer. You have no leverage and your muscles are fully contracted, then you have to reverse motion to the expansion side.

 

[catalina74]

way to throw it up big dog.

 

[Devilstrider]

Yeah Ok nigga. You don't know me. I workout with cats all the time that are on diet plans that they follow perfect. I'm on one of those as well and i do tons of cardio. I have no hate for someone that bust their ass to get fit because I'm one of them.

 

[Devilstrider]

The spotter never took his hands off the weights, all assisted, that doesn't count.

I guess you're jealous as well? Like i said it's not the look I'm going for. I like to be toned and agile. I don't need to be that big.

 

[ScorpDiesel]

OMG! Why is niggas postin' their baby chest for approval? I LOL'd 5mins straight when I saw that shit.

 

[coolie569]

That's a lot of fucking weight assisted or not. Good for you.

[hsm2448]

LMAO at fat swole tho

 

[Complex]

Pretty much, because a spotter can only help you but so much from that position.

 

[donwuan]

ima start lifting again so i can bench press them tittays

 

[Naha-Nago]

don't be insecure, it's ok....JUST PUSH THE BUTTON

stolen!

*two cents*

 

[BRUHA]

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.

I feel you, but only 260lbs @ 6'6", 275??? I'm 5'6", 175 and I can snatch 260 about 4-5 times, with proper technique.

Like you said, it's about the technique not the weight so much, which I completely agree with. But I would think a dude as big as you might have said 360lbs, not 260lbs.

 

[rundatrack]

Thats a shitload of weight. I did 405 one time...Anything 100 lb over your bodyweight means your a strong motherfakker...even 50 lbs over your bodyweight means your fakking strong.

Right now I do crossfit so I am doing something completely different.


Congrats on the big weight.

 

[Rick Ronson]

"bird chest"
nigga
it's called being ripped up..
there ain't nothing you can tell me about building muscle son.
I been there, done that.

props negreau im 220 ..need to be 210

6'3" slightly cut...cant bench shit ..maybe 200lb

pecs and guns on the beach its a wrap

working on my abs again

its all about what you want to achieve seriously

i like agility / mobility so i never wanted to bulk up

not to say big dudes cant move

Im not down with a gut though

dude. no hate but if u think that is an accomplishment it is not.

you weren't even beching your own body weight. once you can bench your body weight for reps you can be considered strong. great chest development at 275 does not equal only benching 265.

not trying to clown.

I don't understand what your issue is, but you do know that most muscle failures happen on the way DOWN during the negative. How many times have you seen someone blow all their energy down and can't get the bar off their chest?

You've exceeded your max. The strongest muscle in your arm is your TRICEP which is an expansion muscle. Your tricep can easily outpower your bicep which is a contraction muscle. Pecs, traps, shoulders, lats are all primarily expansion muscles as well which can help your triceps during a bench press.

When your tricep runs out of energy, you're fucked - biceps aren't really helping much but your other muscle groups can pause the weight while you get out the way or wait for a spotter.

That's why when weight training, a good trainer will make you focus on the negative part of the rep and small slow movements just as much as the positive part.

For some reason, this lil nigga comes to mind when I read Heist's posts.

 

[Amajorfucup]

u a fat swole nigga like me bro! u dont need to worry about powerlifting u need to worry about dropping like 100 pounds and u will be ripped and healthy.. ive lost 72 pounds since last year! trust me that fat swole look aint fooling nobody especially these hoes... only fat bitches like that shit smh

He's 6'6", you're 5'6". You have a distinct advantage on a flat bench press over him. You're comparing apples to oranges bro.

With that being said, this is a funny ass thread all around.

LMAO!
That would be a pretty good analogy in some instances, yeah. But I'd MUCH rather be compared to him than I would to Foghorn. I remember those cartoons with him and Foghorn.

Foghorn Leghorn:
= Loud mouth blow hard who didn't really know shit outside of what his pappy taught him or what some guy told him as opposed to understanding the facts or science behind it.

= 90% of most of the dudes on BGOL.

But you still never said where I was wrong, Complex.
