I think that's the same cat. It's the same handle. That fukker is an animal. He looks like he weighs around 230ish. Though, it's hard to tell how tall he is. I'd imagine he's pretty short, since it makes it easier to move that kind of weight with shorter arms.
Tell me about it broski.
My guess (but who knows really cuz there's no frame of reference) is he's between 5' 9" and 6'.
arch their back to the point that you could drive a truck under it, then push the weight up about 8 inches, and call it a world record bench press.
while you're entitled to your opinion, the video you posted he's doing exactly what you're complaining about. arched back, belly up, on his toes for leg drive, and it's borderline touch and go.

Not sure if anyone still gives a shit about this section. But, if anyone is still around here and has forgotten what real powerlifting looks like, particularly the bench press, here it is:

Somewhat, but not to the extreme as some of the metal militia guys.

at this last meet i went to, this guys ROM was like 8 inches, but he lifted raw. he just had a huge chest and short arms, it was how he was built. he got up to like 5 or 6 something, i forgot i just remember a shitload of reds.
