just cleared 450

terrible form for a strong bench. I'm impressed becuase if you had good form you'd be doing like 500. I say this becuase the bar is far to close to th neck. It should be at the top of the abbs, elbows tucked..

im tellin you its a horrible camera angle, but its not that far up, and if you think its a negative, i'll get some more pics... jsut wait, call my bluff, go ahead, im not here to lie and decieve you guys, infact i despise those that do, but when i get more pics you can see for yourself

and if it were a negative, there would be a spotter with his hands over the bar, not one behind the bar, this guy is there to see if it goes down all the way, once he gives the clap i put it back up, i know it doesnt look pretty, and no i dont have textbook form, but #1 its a weird angle, the bar is not sitting on my chin, and #2 i wouldnt go through all this shit to bs you, i hit a personal record for my gym lift, and your right its probably a few pounds less in a meet, but by me the meets are few and far between. I havent the opportunity to travel all over the place in a federation, since im a full time college student, and work over 30 hours. any other questions you'd like answered go ahead im all ears, i have nothing to hide for you guys, im only here to learn not talk shit

if it is not a negative, then props to you. I know you must train hard. I did to reach 430 at 198. To reach the weight you just did, that is incredible

 

[Vectork39]

i dont want to sound like a dick, believe me i'm the worlds biggest skeptic, if theres anyway i can get a vid i will, i only have a shitty olympus camera, and thats the best i can do for right now, i'll keep you updated

 

[wtlftr]

thanks, you do not sound like a dick

Guys you're being way too hard. I'm not trying rag on some of you but you really need to stop by a bench meet once in awhile. All most of you know about lifting is what you see in your gym for the most part, maybe one or two strong guys. Go to a meet were all the eagles land and you'll see things you didn't think possible.

My suggestion to Vector to do it in a meet was for the purpose of opening a can of told you so to the disbelievers.

 

[Vectork39]

you guys know of any meets or events in the DC area, i havent been too successful at it

Maybe you're right. It just seemed hard to believe that he benched 450lbs "raw" with no shirt weighing only 165lbs. With a shirt he would be the world record holder for that weight class. How can you expect people not to doubt that?

You don't have to pause doing the lift in a gym so that alone might add 30 lbs to a lift. Still seems high for a raw lift but I believe in UFO's so maybe...
