The Art Of The 500 lbs Standing Bench Press

[@jimdango123456]

I don't care how much he leans. Lifting that much weight overhead while standing is obsurd. That dude is strong as hell.

[@alec3979]

The leaning itself is actually impressive in the sense that his core is strong enough to resist being folded in half by that weight 😱

[@jasont7814]

If you don’t care, Jim, then I don’t care.

[@TheSzaliq]

Have you seen Lu Xiaojun?

[@amazin7006]

[@jimdango123456]

@jasont7814 Indeed, we both don't give a damn.

[@RaineyPowerTraining]

Lean or not its insane. But the lean is the reason the OHP was removed from the Olympics. Because it changes it from on OHP to a lean pres.

[@michaellopez2070]

No, it was that they screwed it up with knee bend. Truly locked knees is a somewhat unnatural position, so they were a little lax with the rule, and soon you’d get some blatant knee bending/push press and it messed up all the numbers. There’s also some fast forward tracing of the knees in a fast press, so it became hard to judge between that and a push/bend.

[@anomaly3215]

@@formidableplays4750 nah he's going to have chronic lower back pain, especially since overhead press is ALREADY known for having lower back risks WITHOUT excessive lean, but the more you lean the more you activate your chest so it's incentivized to lean, but it's pretty bad for your lower back compared to a normal bench press

This is an incredible feat of strength. Going overhead with >500 is probably single digit territory for all of human history. Of course there are more if you include jerks, but presses are a different animal.

illegitimacy is tied to form, so insulting people for calling out objectively bad form makes you the wetawd.... try thinking next time

[@shades4313]

@ oh yea? Thinking huh. We’ll tell me what “form” is exactly. Because if we’re going by strongman form standards, his is spot on. This is how all of the greatest overhead pressers do it historically. People like you are so one dimensional you can’t wrap your head around the fact that there’s more than one way of doing things, especially when people have different goals. Oh and btw, everyone I’ve ever seen complain about form on a standing OHP have always been small and weak

[@barath4545]

Yeah Serge was AMAZING! ... 502lbs, not moving his feet in the press AT ALL, weighing 140 kg BW (isch). Sadly the man died from heart attack just 4 yrs later, aged just 33 (very likely PED side effects from the rough gear back then) But that lift there is SO pretty, such a good clean phase and then a rapid smoooooth AF press, quick snakeroll of the body and then press and done.

calling out form is NOT the same as making fun of someone, you're literally the textbook example of the ad hominem fallacy.. do you only criticize music that you can emulate? or do you give your honest opinion regardless? that's what i thought, so apply that logic here, if someone can't lift the same weight, does that magically negate any legitimate critiques they have? of course not, THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK FFS, AD HOMINEM FALLACY

Not how the human body works. Your brain doesnt allow your body to lean back so much that you fall back. Rather it have you stand up and fail the press.

[@dennisthorson4159]

People don't understand physics or even the proper technique for a heavy strict press. You literally can't stand upright willy nilly with a weight that big in your arms. The only exception is those who can start from a front rack OL position, and they too will violently jerk their backs backwards as they start the press (See Klokov, or any bronze era oly comp. footage of strict presses). You simply will struggle to press >1.0x bdw overhead standing completely straight throughout, and even if you do, you're leaking power and risking damage to your rotator cuff and spine.

[@biknjak]

Andrew can match that I would say. He did 8 reps tempo behind the neck press with 166kg. And has done 184 x6 behind the neck . So 13x170 strikt press he can manage
