The longest serving member without a tagline Member 41, 395 posts SQ 255, BP 165, DL 267.5687.5 kgs @ 103kgs UnEq | so i know strongmen do not do bench. but wouldnt it be good event for them to have something like a 200kg for rep bench test they do squats and deads. so why do they not do bench press | ||

Now imagine those that can really arch on a bench! 3-Suits are allowed on the squat and deadlift, so theoretically shirts could be allowed on the bench! Allowing shirts raises so many issues, especially in terms of safety. Can need a hand out and 2 side spots/side at times when it gets heavy! Can't think of any others off the top of my head | ||

improvment is a MUST !! Member 1407, 1629 posts SQ 215, BP 187.5, DL 270672.5 kgs @ 105kgs UnEq | Post Edited: 13.01.2012 @ 17:38 PM by wjmxm21 You could do a Car Bench Press with side handles, or a barrell loaded machine thing (similar to the squat one they used to use occasionally). The handles at about chest height, about shoulder width, and press up and down. It would be pressing from a Deadstop off the chest though. I think there was one in WSM years ago, back when Magnus Samuelsson was competing. | ||

not particularly well educated Member 85, 10986 posts SQ 170, BP 130, DL 260560.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq | it would probably be a good event in terms of the general public , everyone's heard of the bench press , watching big guys knocking out massive 200k plus benchpresses would blow the average gym goers mind. | ||
