There is a video of Seckbach benching 2 plates on a smith machine (about 200 pounds). After he is done Sechback tells Rios to do it and Rios says he can't. Is Sechback physically stronger than Rios? I can't believe it. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGNLHANd7Q8&feature=g-all-u[/ame]
Even if he was, what difference does it make to Rios? Plus, anyone using a smith machine and bragging about being able to lift heavy should be ashamed of themselves.
Bench press on a smith machine is the measure for physical strength now?? What would a boxer even be doing a bench press for, you don't punch with your shoulders, the force comes from your legs and your core.
He weighs more than Rios. It's hardly a surprise if he has greater 'absolute' strength. Strength relative to bodyweight is something else again..
1. It's on a smith machine. 2. Both spotters holding the bar on a smith machine. Seriously? 3. It's on a smith machine. 4. It's probably around 190lbs. The bar weighs 25kg on a smith machine? Come on. 5. It's on a smith machine. 6. Who cares about bench, particularly when it's on a smith machine? 7. And finally, you can't prove anything strength-wise using a frickin' smith machine.
no doubt about it the smith machine really does take away the strength part, heck i can bench that weight on the smith machine and im only 140. Thats how easy it is, now if were talking about the acuall bench and barbell well :-(
I think Rios probably could lift that, I think hes one of these boxers who doesnt use weights and probably thinks it will **** his punch mechanics and flexitbility up, if not then really he has no need to bench hes a boxer why risk injuring your shoulder on a smith machine, and last of all **** no dilly sick**** is not stronger than rios, just no.
