new bench video - 405lbs x 1

[needsize]

I dont train for strength at all, so I was really curious what I could bench. Brought the camera in to see if my form was cool. Put up 405 for a single, it actually felt easy enough that I could of done 2-3 reps, but I was only aiming for 1

Anyway, heres the video

bench 405lbs x 1

 

[needsize]

sorry about how slow that damn site is

 

[psychedout]

Yikes. Very raw, and thats how I like it. Good form too.

 

[dj1000]

Needsize you are an animal!! I have been doing your 5x5 and am loving it. Maybe someday I will throw 405 around like its nothing. Nice work man!

 

[nothinbutapeanut]

that's nuts. were you wearin a belt doing that or was that just your exposed stomach (can't tell)?

 

[needsize]

thanks guys, considering I dont train for strength I was pretty happy about it
nothinbutapeanut, no belt, that was just my stomach

 

[Lord_Suston]

Damn, no arch,no belt, no leg drive, slow negative and and slow positive. Fuck man you are getting to strong. Good work

 

[MJBossman]

How much are you weighing right now needsize?

I like your training theory. Train heavy, progressive overload. Nothing fancy, just hardcore old fashioned. You're big and strong, I've seen big guys that can't lift much. I'd much rather be big and strong.

Thanks, its always about the big compound stuff for me, I almost never touch machines. I grew up wanting to be like Arnold and Franco, still do
I'm shooting a deadlift video tomorrow, hoping for 525lbs for 6-8 reps

 

[needsize]

sorry I forgot, weighed in at 245lbs today

 

[coolcolj]

it's lagged right now - check it out latter

man if I ahd your strength levels, I would be kicking ass. Guess I'll have to put in a few more years of training

 

[Omegasox]

That's nuts dude, nice job. No struggle at all, just down and up.

 

[delldell2]

Impressive. Complete control, no bounce, no gear. I like seeing that alot more than the PL style.

 

[MattRecc]

wow, really slow and controlled thats just amazing man. makes me feel like the weakest man on earth lol.

 

[Buddy_Christ]

for a bodybuilder that doesn't give a rat's ass about strength (you said that in a post a few months ago), you're pretty damn strong! keep it up man!

 

[i be kiz]

fucking great....keep putting them numbers up needsize...i love the vids


could your spotter have done anything had you slipped up? lol

 

[UA_Iron]

Wow, leave it to needsize to keep impressing us with his progress. That was a nice clean bench press, perfect form.
good job.

 

[needsize]

Thanks guys, it was a happy moment for me as my bench has always been my worst lift

 

[Dial_tone]

I always wanted to hit that 4 plate mark, but not enough to alter my training to do it. I might give it another run in a year or so.

 

[Mike_Rojas]

Amazing job! You never cease to amaze me.

 

[SquatPukeSquat]

that would have been a nice half shrug/deadlift for your spotter if you had messed up. awesome lift, especially considering you don't train for strength. keep the vids coming!

 

[WalkingBeast]

Awesome lift brother!! Inspirational shit. Was getting so close before my injury. (370 flat and 360 incline). That shit inspires me to get back into it after I heal up. Keep it up!!

you were pretty close to 405 already, it wont take you long once you're healthy

 

[Assertive Guy]

Unbelievable!! That's truely amazing! My max lift is like half that, and my training partners is half mine.

 

[guldukat]

Sweet bench, biggun.

 

[Lumberg]

can't wait to see the DL video (I know I have seen some pics from back in the day...I see you still lift in that pretty gym with the hexagonal plates!)
