Should I use weights on my feet when benching

[qsedd]

I was at the gym yesterday and I needed a 10lb weight so I picked one up off the floor and then a huge Meathead bodybuilder came running up to me and saying that he was using it. So I asked him what did he mean he was using it if it was on the floor and he said he uses them for his feet to give him more Height because he was a shorter guy. was he just trying to bully me or was he really serious and needed them for that purpose

I didnt use weights before but I saw a few guys do it tried it, added weights on my feet and felt nothing just my feet were sore lol

well having competed, coached and judged powerlifting events you are scratched if your head, butt or feet leave the surface completely during a lift. guys with shorter legs will use weights to give them extra leverage which is allowed, and yes i used to do it too when i competed.

F**k knows. What kind of exercise?

 

[Vadim Fedorov]

It is possible that he used weights to hold his feet down and as long as he was polite it is fine

I wouldn’t. Seems useless to me.
