Heaviest lift at 5:00.

What was with the warm up session? Yes - gradually increaisng the weights is a good thing, but the reps confused me. When I lifted in high school we were taught to fully extend to make one rep. His arms not extending very much is certainly not how I would do it. It looked like he was bouncing the bar off his chest.
I will give him props though - the highest I got when I was a young buck was 200lbs on bench press. Other guys I worked out with (football jocks that were built like a brick shit house) would have the bar bend when they benched because there was so much weight on each end!!

@OP - thank you for the MHO vote.

his name is long nguyen, i've known about him on youtube for a long time already. do you know how long he's even training for? he started training when he was 15, now he's like 30 something years old. he even has posted his routine and stuff on his website. in case you're curious here the link: gravitus.com/.../

He actually has a decent amount of muscle mass if you look at his instagram. The reason he can lift so much is 1.) genetically gifted for the bench press/ he has good leverages for the lift (short arms) and 2.) he is most likely a bench specialist who mainly focuses on benching for like 10+ years. That combined with the leverages allows him to be that strong.

I saw that video. Much discussed in BB forums. Freak of nature.

Big muscles doesn't mean you're strong. Strength is a mental game

i doubt that it is just mental, it has to do with muscles quality, and bone density.

A combo of all

He's light because he's short but he's not that small, he's pretty built.

Short guys, with their shorter arms have leverage advantages, I see it all the time in the gym.

its really easy if you train properly. i could but i don't like bench pressing.

[stormbreaker06]

back in my day i was military pressing 200lbs with ease because i trained my body.
