Increase Your Bench Press - 6X ALL-TIME RECORD Bench Press Holder Shares Secrets | Jimmy Kolb

[@Christwhostrengthensme]

It would be an awesome podcast to have kolb and Julius in the same room talking bench training, philosophy, and how they feel about each others disciplines.

I was “against” geared powerlifting but then i remembered I’m not a powerlifter, it’s their sport not mine. Also I enjoyed this interview a lot and Jimmy seems like a very intelligent guy. He definitely opened my mind, geared lifting is it’s own craft.

[@JeanKlaud93]

I have a slightly negative outlook on equipped powerlifting. I love and do Raw powerlifting. I skeptically clicked on the first podcast Jimmy was on with date, and ended up watching the whole podcast attentively. He's definitely an opinionated man, but also very intelligent and interesting to listen to for sure. I like him.

[@lorddeathspit1124]

@ I watched the whole thing too. Jimmy is an interesting guy.

Kold is so damn good&strong that the reverse grip bench should be renamed the Kolb Press

[@chrisweidner4768]

Reverse grip bench. Thank you for the reminder. All the best. Always.

[@LatimusChadimus]

@chrisweidner4768 it's a great triceps exercise, according to James. I train strongman more than powerlifting so I can't quite say such for myself

[@GudMarty]

Jimmy’s got crazy genetics he should do raw. He’s already got the unlimited record which very few people even seem to care about or understand. There’s a lot to gain to switch to just raw. He could probably do 650-700 fairly quickly I would guess. Maybe his pecs are weak though from using the shirt idk. Either way there’s nothing left for him in that division that doesn’t really have any eyes. He’s got crazy genetics too

[@Anabolicnerd]

Raw lifting is boring.

​@Anabolicnerd no you're just weak

[@JohnSmith-cz3us]

@@Anabolicnerdno it isn’t. It’s the most comparable style of competing.

[@Webmaster070]

I hope he does it after 1500

[@LouCondon-j1v]

That's what I used in the old days were the Gold 100's. 14 inch pad, you are talking about the width of the actual bench right? You must have heard about the Marine heavy 275 or SHW lifter named Gary Ward. Tall as shit lifter. I went to a few full meets at Quantico when was a short drive from Ft. Belvior, Va. Army Fort.

Drop Eric’s podcast bro

Eric who?

1,320 pounds! That’s a lot of bullshit! 🤣

QUESTION: when you just need MASSIVE CALORIES and it's difficult to get them all down, i don't understand why you don't just drink a glass of olive oil and be done with it. if you use a good quality, California olive oil, it tastes great and it's got 130 calories in 1 tablespoon.

[@SanjeevKumar-ik7xs]

Wtf

[@yanwain9454]

@@SanjeevKumar-ik7xs i suggest california olive oil because when you get bottles labeled as "italian olive oil" there can often be a lot of fraud and the oil isn't really from italy, it's just rebottled there. when you see the labe "100% california olive oil" at least you know it's really from california.

[@Couldhavebeensomeone]

Never seen him do a full ROM bench ever, without the equipment he probably can't even bench 600 without doing that belly touch whatever

[@BennyParcher]

That's the illusion of power lifting. Lame huh

[@ludwig1.]

Lol, wrong. I've seen him hit 550 reverse raw like it was nothing.

[@tomandersson5089]

@@BennyParcher yes it is!

[@corneliusparkin2401]

You’re crazy bro! Have you ever held 500lb? How about 1300lb? The amount of physical adaptation required to withstand that pressure is fascinating. Even if he couldn’t bench much over 600lb raw. You’re missing the point. 600lb raw is massive! The world record is less than 200lb away. So you can say this is a world class bencher no matter what and an absolute master of withstanding total pressure in the band division.

[@tomandersson5089]

@@corneliusparkin2401 yea i have i've done 568 pounds RAW! with a bodyweight of 249 pounds... 13 reps on 441 pounds.... and still its the shirt who holds/lift the weight.. no matter what you say or try to justify this cheating BS! its still C H E A T I N G TO THE F-ING MAX!!! and its ridiculous!!! geared lifting pffftttt... weak men trying to act strong....

[@Indbolwebelieve]

Isnt Julius have the bench press record?

[@jwatson181]

Yes. Shifty equipped lifting doesn't count

[@thrashattack2185]

@@jwatson181Julius lifts 0.5 times of what Kolb lifts. Haters gonna hate.

[@HkFinn83]

Yeh that’s the raw record. Kolb is lifting in a ‘band’ shirt I believe, it’s even more extreme than the multiply from 20 years ago. It’s a weird niche thing, but I don’t hate it like I hated multiply. There are only a few people doing it and not many people follow it. Let them have their fun.

[@mikewilhelm5170]

@jwatson181 Sorry dude but I don't see u holding 1,403 lbs above ur face like Jimmy does. No reason to bash the style of lifting it's all still powerlifting so y not be a positive influence in the environment

[@jwatson181]

@@mikewilhelm5170 i can lift 6000 with a forklift. It means just as much. The dude is getting fat and killing himself for a meaningless goal. How much can he bench raw?

[@tigertigercrypto]

I'd rather appear fit and athletic with less strength than be stronger but overweight and looking fat. a mess

[@FelixKg09]

Yea and other ppl want the strengt percormance and not an athletic look, so?

[@ImaWreckU]

But you don't look fit and athletic. You're also weak. Cope lmao
