Undoubtedly the greatest bench presser of all time. And just over all an amazing human being and very nice guy. RIP

[@killa2488]

"i can bench over that" This guy is doing it with no legs, pausing at the bottom, and having COMPLETE 100% CONTROL of the weight. When I go for my max im always shaking a little or slightly tilted. If a normal power lifter wanted to lift with this precise of form, they would definitely need to drop the weight a solid amount. King

[@user-en5vj6vr2u]

95% of lifters can’t bench that in lbs

[@seanharris8419]

[@aggressivelyamicable5987]

@@seanharris8419 It's likely an even smaller percentage than that. I was trying to find an estimate of how many people have benched >650 lbs in competition but I couldn't find a compiled source and I'm too lazy to dig further. 99.9% is certainly a better estimate than 95% though.

He pushed that 310 kilos with such ease, seeing that I am pretty sure he could have done 15 kilos more right there right then. Seeing the training footage, I am now a 100% sure the poor guy was even smart enough to always just break records in smaller steps. Such a pity he got no more time for carrying out his masterplan.

[@AdventureThroughLife]

Yep, he was the strongest bench presser of all time because he did it raw with pure strength and no leg drive. He beat all those records doing Larsen Press which is much harder than a regular bench. Only respect and admiration for him 💪

[@QuiteLunacy]

He had 315kg in the tank for that 310kg lift. I feel it in my bones.

[@wizz2k]

Amazing video man, great job! These athletes definitely don't get enough credit. If I recall correctly the female paralympic wr for bench in the 52kg category is higher than the regular one - how insane is that?!

[@kaiserauthoria]

Because the lift was all they had

[@hello7533]

Not very insane.

[@standepain]

I just happened to watch the 2016 Paralympics livestream and was just blown away at how amazing all the athletes are and got sucked in. Actually watched more of this than the Olympics. Was absolutely impressed by all the lifters but when Siamand came out and did his opener I was left speechless at how easy he made it look. Then his 310 came and he made it look like a paperweight. Still to this day I will argue until I'm blue in the face this is the strongest pure bencher, weight and form wise that ever lived. Can only imagine what he could have done if Polio didn't affect his legs.

[@ATomRileyA]

Wow he made that 310kg look easy, great video i had never heard of him what a champion.

[@jackhannon4322]

This guy is absolutely the most impressive bencher I have ever seen. I have very little doubt that he would be holding a bench above 800lbs was he fully abled. Also, this man's frame is insane, his wrist and hands look like they'd match Cyplenkov's.

[@Turboy65]

Why? He had full use of every muscle that actually matters in the bench press. Leg drive is bullshit. The power to lift the bar in a bench press does NOT come from the bottom half of the body. Leg usage can only make you a bit more stable, but doesn't help you to actually push any harder. If you are in a very stable position, leg drive means nothing.

[@jackhannon4322]

@@Turboy65 Wtf? Literally every competitive bencher out their disagrees with you. Leg-drive, back arch, and scapula postitioning all effect bench.

[@Turboy65]

@@jackhannon4322 They may contribute to stability. But, answer this question: Which muscles are engaged when pushing a weight away from your cheste when you are lying down on your back? Are leg muscles involved other than to maybe keep you stable on the bench? I don't disagree that you use your legs to stabilize yourself, but the power of the press does not come from your legs.

[@jackhannon4322]

@@Turboy65 The stability allows for more weight to be pressed. Also leg-drive does help bump up the bar alittle bit during the first part of the rep.

How the hell are you supposed to keep the bar level all the time without any leg stabilisation? What an absolute monster.

[@unn5443]

I think it's because of the growth hormone being used somewhere else in the body, the same as short dudes being really strong since theoretically the gh that should have been used in their bones is used somewhere else and they grow stockier and strong. Mind blowing nonetheless
