Notice the smooth slow lowering of the bar, followed by a solid pause. Classic form!!!!!

Thats Tim Bruner by the way. A strong guy and creator of the Bruner squat. I ust put this clip up because it hurst my chest just watchign it.

Peace,
Mike

OUCH!

 

[The mann]

double ouch

 

[benchmonster]

My God. I thought he was smarter than that. That bar must have gotten 4 inches into his chest every rep.

OUCH is right.

That's gonna leave a mark...

 

[Parabellum]

bouncy, bouncy, bouncy..............looks like he'll be feeling that later.

 

[b fold the truth]

I swear that was a friend of mine....but his butt didn't come off the bench a foot on each press...

I remember that video being posted a couple of years ago when TB had a friendly bet going with Jason Burnell. The consensus was that he was just trying to convince JB that his form was really bad.......it was just a head game. I doubt that he does that all of the time.

You mean thats not the proper bench form. DAMN I wonder what u guys will think of mine then, I thought that was perfect form

 

[FREAK19]

Cubanito I agree with you. That form was not bad at all.

 

[endpoint]

as long as he move the weight.....its a good lift. how does that saying go...
never let form get in the way of a heavy lift

 

[p03t1c]

endpoint: you say that until you go to deadlift directly after the bench and realize HOLY SHIT WHERE DID MY DEADLIFT GO.

 

[endpoint]

hhaaahahaa i was only messing around.

 

[GRIMMER]

I know of a few people that bench that way and i can tell you that it does not stop their COMP bench what so ever. If you compete and you know your shirt than; the bottom of the bench is somwhat eirelavant (somewhat). "Why do ouy think that Westside provides so much lockout work? I respect anybody that can lift more RAW than me( and almost everyone can) but when it comes down to comp time its all about the (shirt )GAME. That lift is good in my book anyday. We're talking abouat reps here. that is a great effort as far as i'm concerned.
Sorry to sound so outright but i'm tied of people bashing others lifting for mear form or style.
Later

You hit the nail on the head Grimmer.

Hey GRIMMER,

I value your statement and OF COURSE..you know this post was a big joke. But you have to admit, that bounching that type of weigth off of your chest is very dangerous, if you crack your xyphoid, i.e. chestplate, It will not be "all about he Shirt Game" btu rather it will be all about the Emergency room game. Point being what that gentleman is doing in the clip is increasing his probability of getting hurt. And I totally take my hat off to him for close grip some nice weigth for reps. So I do agree with you 100%, but I want you to understand I was not bashing, thats not my MO here on the board.
