That was impressive, looked like he had a lot more in him to. His foot position was a little wierd but maybe thats because he is a shorter guy.

WOW

The whole time I am watching it I am thinking. No no his form is all wrong. You need to drop that weight more, so you get a good bounce off of your chest. Then lift your hips way up in the air.

At least that is how they do it at my gym.

Hey Zen machine,

are they doing that drop the bar, hip raise thing with 700 lbs?


Mendelson is one of the best benchers on the planet right now. And he did that 701 without a bench shirt, also. He has done as much as 766 with a shirt.

You know, I knew someone was going to say that.

I think the most I have ever seen in our gym was just over 400.

he is, but since he's pushing from his toes instead of his heels it looks different. you can see his legs tightening up and his his hips raise a bit from the drive.
