this is old and many of you have probably seen this but I was going thru some old pics and thought I'd post it. resulted in ONLY a cracked rib!

Could you post it up for non-plats?

see if this works:

was he gripping , thumbless? or did his wrists just slip?

why is he using a false grip?

 

[Zyglamail]

Thats exactly why you dont put thumbs on same side as fingers, I dont care what the guy can bench but thats dangerous and it proves it.

I doubt he can bench 700 without that grip. When you use that grib, you are using your triceps even more. I use to have that habbit, but i changed my grip because i was scared it'd slip.

Big deal, once i dropped 315 on my head during shoulder press.... Just kidding. That looks wicked painful! I can't imagine how that didn't go right through like 6 or 7 rips ..... and a few spinal disks

actually, i have to do close grip bench with a false grip, otherwise too much strain is placed on my wrists.

I'm looking REAL close at his grip and I think he has his thumb wrapped around. with 700 pounds it really doesnt matter either way once you "lose it" or get out of your groove. You can see that the spotters didnt have any time to react. a scary moment!
