Sick 1 inch ROM.

The most I have benched at a bodyweight of 210 is 265lbs, I attempted 270lbs recently and failed.

I'm going to stop testing my 1rm so much and work more on triples, because I hurt myself from trying to bench too much too fast.

Is his arch ridiculous? Yes.

Do I wish I could arch as well as him? Yes.

Would my bench magically become 450lbs + if I could arch as much as him? Ummm no...

As for guinness records, they are ridiculous. No deadhang pull ups/no full rom pushups, but its still more than I can do even with reduced rom. As for "world's strongest man", he lives in the same province as me because he "backlifted" 6000 lbs or something absurd (basically moved it an inch with his back while in position to be raw dogged from behind). Guinness is a freakshow of retarded/idiotic world records most people don't care about. World record deadlift? Yes please, and oddly enough its not in Guinness book of world records, none of the world records I care about are.

Some of you guys worry about stuff that makes no sense worrying about.

Lets call a spade a spade. These "arching" people have simply figured out a way to skirt the rules and beat the system.

Are they strong? Not the issue. Are they equally as strong as someone that does the same lift while remaining flat on the bench? No.
