Either he's a jackass or he's pretty confident at that weight I would imagine.

who is a jack ass? It wasn't up to the guy benching, you can assure yourself of that! The head judge was being a dick for some reason and made him hold it there.

That's what I was thinking....he pushed when he heard the guy yell "press"


Is it me or is that a damn wide grip..

it is a wide grip.....

a) he is a powerlifter....the wider you go the less ROM the bar has to move, the more weight you can lift (if you can get comfortable like that because it does put a lot of stress on the shoulder).

and

b) he looks to be a pretty tall dude so that is probably a comfortable distance for his levers.

That and he's able to get more of his "outter pecs" into the movement right?? That's what I learned from ahnolds book...

....

I can't imagine putting that kinda stress on my shoulders...

A powerlifter bench pressing has to hold the weight for over 8 seconds before being commanded to lift... !!!

you didn't hear the judge yell press and wave his hand upward as the signal?

I didn't even notice it the first time. Barely had the volume on... That's definitely a long ass pause.

I keep it low so the neighbors won't hear...

lol


Posted by: Gazhole

Lol, that camera guy is hilarious.


Posted by: Mudge

LMAO I think that judge spaced out...


Kenwood, did you right click and download it or are you trying to stream it? Try saving it, then play it. If you still can't see it then you need a codec.


Posted by: kenwood

ok i watched it...whats the big deal about?


Posted by: Mudge

The big deal is the judge waited forever to tell him to PRESS, which is supposed to be done once they see that they touched the weight.

Obviously he touched, yet the judge sat there. This makes it harder for the person to perform the lift without failure, because of fatigue, and killing stretch-reflex (what of it might be left after rest pausing anyway).

That wasn't obvious? You try parking the weight for 3 seconds next time when you max.

I think the judge had his eye on a bit of skirt that was out of the camera shot


Posted by: CowPimp

I think Mudge is right, the judge just spaced out. You can't be spacing out when people have 500 pounds sitting on their chest...

I wonder how much weight that was?


I just love the camera guys voice....haha.....



Also, a long pause like that with that kind of weight can get dangerous for the shoulders....even with the bench shirt on.


Posted by: Mudge

The judge reacted in kind of a surprised/alarmed/oh shit oops kind of manner it seemed when he finally said PRESS. I think he was kicking himself a bit, realizing what happened.

We all have space cadet days.

yea, I could figure out if was just spacing out or he couldn't see around one of the spotters? He does give the press signal in a startled manner though.

Thats why I think he 'woke up,' I think he was a bystander there mentally and then finally came to... The guy is waiting so obediently too, some people press prematurely because they dont expect anymore than a full second at most.

Try later, your ISPs DNS server is probably not updated or the site might be down for awhile.
