holy fuck. i dont care if those were “partial” reps or not… when you go down all the way and go up and dont lockout the muscle is always under tension which makes it that much more impressive to me.
dont believe me :gotme: , try it.

i would be a lot more impressed if he wasnt bouncing the bar off his chest, it is a lot of weight to do that but a lot of bounce of his chest for sure.

The bounce ruined it. I rather would have seen the 3 reps of 505.

Yeah, he did do some bullshit reps for sure, but look at the fucking speed he can push that weight up with. Just crazy speed on those.

Lineman at the NFL combine can only do about 30-40 reps max… but im sure they do full reps.

Most of them still bounce, but not to this extent.

They don’t do anything even close to full reps at those NFL combines.

my record was 34 in college
full reps and a raw lift (no bench shirt)
The max at the combine is usually around 45 to 50.
Most lineman are between 25 - 40.

agreed the acid builds up, I think I got 60 once
Power lifting and lifting for reps is two very different things
I trained totally different when planning to compete in either one

agreed.
I cant believe people are giving this guy shit for “bouncing” and “not full reps” its like :gtfo:
the guy is a monster, and that was very impressive.
edit: wait, what? 60 with what weight? 135 you mean right?

this is WAY more impressive than watching a guy bench 400 lbs 5 reps.
His chest must have been BURNING!
edit: I can’t even squat 225 more than 10 reps ☹
