But they would be destroyed by a larger person. It is silly to give somebody extra points for having a weakness (being very small).
Yeah but look at the p4p strength of the guy. If McBride could lift 3.5 times his weight, we are talking like about 1000pounds.
And if that guy had the Size of McBride, he would lift about 1000lbs (but it doesn't really work like that anyway). A lack of size is a weakness like any other.
No I guess not but he is a midget. He would barely come up to my balls and he is lifting like 40kgs more than I can, just impresses me thats all.
Thanks for the kind words. But make no mistake about it, that is not my natural bench. I have been lifting weights again for about two years now. My natural was more like 150.
Definitely alot of people on here are inflating their numbers.....dont know why people do this. We are talking for the sake of legitamacy in this post and you still get the people saying im 140lbs and bench 350. I am proud of my top bench at 295lbs and have never once even stated I could do 300 because I NEVER did. I used to squat 395 in sets of 10 but stopped because my legs were getting really big. Anyone benching 200% of their body weight has either been training for a VERY long time or is JUICING! Lets not forget midgets are often given HGH to help them grow a few extra inches so they generally also apply to this rule.
I havent read any replies yet since im at work but a little perspective... shane mosley can bench 300. 460 for a man that size isnt a big deal at all.
He falls into both categories....works out alot and probably on juice but that is speculation. I personally think alot of guys are using but not getting caught.
I absolutely suck at bench. It might be my worst exercise. I am 6-2, 200. Lifting 4-5 times a week for several years, I go life and death with 240. My workout partner is 6-1, 185 and maxes at 275, and we go to the gym on an almost identical basis. If benching double your body weight is "pretty good strength," it's a wonder I can carry my laundry basket. I match him on most other upper body exercises except pull-ups. I see guys in the gym with shorter arms about our size doing 315-330, so McBride doing that sounds reasonable. It also sounds stupid. He needs to be shedding weight, not building muscle mass. Not that it matters but so much, in his case. He just isn't skilled.
This content is protected aint all that much...you guys dont have that much experience in weight training i assume. That's actually very impressive even a man his size. You can't just say well im 160 and i can bench 270 and compare it to a man his size and say its not impressive... Most nfl players can't bench that at any weight. The MOST you'll see any man in the nfl benching is like 500.
oh and for the man sayin he cant picture someone benching 270+ at 160-170 is juicing has no idea what he's talking about....I'm 5'10" 169 in my avi...my max bench is 325lbs...no juicing all natural. It's called staying consistant in the gym and raising your weight over-time and good dieting with as much protein intake as possible
True, but that kind of goal is unattainable for some of us (like myself). Body type is a huge factor. Also, your body can process only so much protein. Overdoing it doesn't do anything for you, and an imbalance in nutrition can place tremendous strain on your digestive system. Be careful.
