Narrow grip press it with your back flat against the bench and I'll take notice. Maybe bench should be removed from powerlifting and replaced with a different lift? There could be bench only comps for people who want to do this s**t. squat dwarf throw? deadlift

tabbouleh and fattoush salads were very refreshing Member 267, 8548 posts SQ 220, BP 165, DL 250 635.0 kgs @ 90kgs Eq	Watching such stuff (with the sound muted) doesn't piss me off that much. That's because when I think of my hobby, powerlifting, I don't envisage that sort of lifting and neither do I aspire to it. None of the lifting in Britain is as farcical as that, and if I ever get good enough to lift at international level (possibly at M3 lol), it will never be with or against clowns like that.

I am a bench-only guy Member 3, 10035 posts SQ 185, BP 175, DL 235 595.0 kgs @ 140kgs UnEq Administrator	Wayne_Cowdrey said:What the fk was that st?? Bench press has become a nonsense lift. It's no more nonsense that the ludicrous squats in those feds. For that matter, from a purist powerlifter's perspective, it's no more nonsense than a lot of strongman "deadlifts" . Narrow grip press it with your back flat against the bench and I'll take notice. Hey, you do it wrong if you want to (and don't need your shoulders, long-term). Let me make myself clear: it's not a bench press that should pass, sure. But nothing that the clown feds do has anything to do with powerlifting, so why are we even talking about it?

All that aside though you've got to admit he's got some guts (no pun intended)!! to get under a bar that would probably kill him if the spotters didn't catch it in time, looks like he's using a false grip too

Member 691, 720 posts	In this federations rules do you need to pause the benches like in the IPF or is touch and go allowed? Because if the rules state pause the bench they are blatantly not doing it. I dont think the lock out was convincing either.

The american mickey mouse federation stuff is a joke though. High squats and dodgy benching. Who are they trying to kid?

Good point - from a powerlifting point of view this type of benching is no worse than the "deadlifts" strongmen perform. Lifters have to do make the most of what the rules you compete under allow

Messily lifted or not, you can't cheat a weight from floor to locked out position. You're either strong enough to get it there or you're not. Post a video of a strongman dead lift that's as bad as the "bench" we've been shown.
