Tell us more about the situation, are you going for a personal record or will this be at a powerlifting competition?

 

[mugzy]

Equipped or raw bench? Are you using anabolics?

 

[Beast]

Eat more and wear tighter shirts

 

[shahzain]

personal record, but also might compete. I know a bench like that would break pretty much every record in my state for the body weight, i think it would do well nationally too

 

[shahzain]

eating more means more cardio but if that's what it takes I might have to

What do you bench now?

What do you bench now?

my 1rm was 345lb at 175ish lbs body weight, Recently ended my cut at 141lbs. Benched 225lb for 9reps yesterday but i think im closer to 150lbs now as i had a really bad binge of like 20,000 calories the 4 days after my cut (havent weighed myself).

What did you eat on the 20,000 calories day? :32 (6):

Why do u wanna be 150 pounds? My wife weights 140 pounds but she’s got a juicy ass and titts.

Dropping 25 pounds and adding 30 to your max is pretty hard to do unless it’s a water/weight cut before a meet. Just lift and get strong man.

Pretty decent transformation he did guys

i seen this asian dude do it on yt and ever since then ive been inspired and kinda been a personal goal. also i want to incorporate a pretty moderate/intense level of maintaining leanness in my life from now on just bc after being cut its hard to even look at old pics just bc fat goes straight to my stomach and face and I think it looks pretty bad which genetically is probably the worst combination possible. might sound kinda soft but I feel better when i look better.

If this is you, I'm seriously impressed and I don't impress easy. Now if there's anything you're not truthful about including gear use, I will track you down like a dog.

The one thing that stands out to me in the video is your form. The bad; it's awful. The good; you fix that and you got half your goal met. I'm buying in on this. Post up some more bench videos and a guy like Ecks, Tool and Tiny can help you greatly. My advice beyond that would do more harm then good.

I know the guy you’re talking about. He is impressive indeed.

Usually I try not to compare myself to others: we all have different genetics and leverages. But I’m on board to see you get there.

Impressive transformation but being 140lbs does take away from it a bit.
the bench you seek at that bodyweight if possible will take a long time, 225x9 comes nowhere near translating to 405.
there is a guy at my gym thats 5'3, around 165lbs that benches 430 but he isnt natty, and he benches 3 times/week, also his other lifts are not impressive, but benching is his thing so I get it. Also he isn't shredded but does stay lean.
Good luck and welcome

 

[BigSwolePump]

Not sure that this is the same guy on the Youtube video. If so, impressive indeed.


As far as benching 405 at a body weight of 150lbs, that is a big goal, especially at a lean 150lbs. 345lbs at a bodywight of 150 is impressive enough.

Good Luck

It’s tough to completely critique someone’s technique with this small amount of video, but I can tell you by coming down a touch lower on you chest then driving up and slightly in the direction of your head, while driving your feet through the ground( your legs should be a huge driving force on this lift) and while you drive up you’ll have just a slight turn of the wrists back as the whole motion up and towards your head all the while driving through those legs. I was competing at the world bench press competition when I saw a dude named Alajon Morris bench 465 at 164 lbs. this was an ADFPA meet( American drug free powerlifting assoc.) which he later failed the urine test we all had to take, but I don’t care, that’s a huge lift at that weight!! Lol good luck on your quest.

thanks i will post more soon. What exactly do you find wrong with the form? is it the elbows flaring out too much? btw i'm not anything nor have I ever taken any. I might in the future but thats a long ways away.
