He has about 10 years worth of bench progress videos. He has videos before that showing newspaper columns from his school competitions with numbers relative to his development. He only trains bench with some light back and tricep accessories. He dropped 315 on his chest in one of his gym videos and took time off. He always looks the exact same size (so not only is not fake, he’s not on gear either). He benches three times a week every single week. Well... that should help with the doubt

[@gitarman666]

Completely legit I’ve been following from the beginning I’m 155 and 59 years old I wanted to see other lite body weight lifters that how I found his vids, I was @ 315 before and unrelated rotator cuff tear November 2019 (I’m a contractor and fell off a roof about 12’ and landed on pretty soft excavation, lucky because there’s tons of sharp shale around) so @ 315 I felt like king shit but this kid is very strong I don’t know how he does it

Update6 months and I'm still loving this bench. kzbin.infoUgkxo_64lVTGMk7y4aXTPxPOcQ3YTLyQ6kYV I use it almost daily. I've gotten used to the small wobble and it's no problem at all. Love the storage, it folds right next to my weight set in the garage and hardly takes any space. I wish the covering material was a little bit tougher. I have a feeling that in a couple years it'll tear, but the bench is very well priced that I would just buy a new one.3 month usage review. Awesome bench for someone looking for compactness and storage. I did have to drill a couple holes to adjust my preferred seating position and leg bar position but that's only due to my personal preference. It's very sturdy for normal workouts, but for anyone going above 100# dumbbell press it wobbles ever so slightly. I would probably go with a fixed bench if that's the case. That being said i can accomplish 99% of my normal gym workout with this setup. Very happy with the purchase.

[@Tomahawk00984]

DinoGaming44 who said no back arch is normal? Maybe back arch was the original correct way to do it, but far too many noobs laying flat, plus inaccurate movie and tv show depictions of laying flat have normalized the wrong way to do it. Idk much about the effects of back arch, but it does look like this guy keeps a straight bar path by bringing his arms down 90 degrees to his body, which results in flared elbows which can put the shoulders at risk. I’m surprised this guy doesn’t have shoulder problems.

[@Tomahawk00984]

DinoGaming44 yup. Did a bit of research, and the reason back arch and scapula retraction is recommended is partially to reduce risk of rotator cuff injury.

[@theladsterdanny]

Tomahawk00984 I wouldn’t say i’m a particularly heavy lifter (225 for 12 is my best atm with a max of 300) but the arch definitely helps. Keeps your body balanced and the weight centralized imo during my sets. I feel it makes a difference but if people feel otherwise i’d understand

Most people associate SIZE with STRENGTH, but that is hardly the case. The guy in the video is VERY LEAN, although he is 154lbs most of that weight is PURE MUSCLE.

[@jirod1185]

There is an association between the two. Say he put on another 30 pounds or so of mass he would be benching even more. So size does correlate with strength. Hence why the strongest men in the world are 300+ pounds.

[@jackquick8362]

Of course there is an association. However the point I think Henry is trying to make is that association is not as strong as most people think. People normally associate 400+ benchers with much bigger people.

+CC thts 100% correct

You forgot organs, blood, bones, and arteries.

[@sovernsectwarren]

Size does count but the ability for your body to fire those muscles and call upon them determines their efficiency. You can be huge and bulky as hell but still be weak. You can also be 154 pounds and be as strong as fuck do to this phenomenon. Also his chest is probably very very developed even more so than lifters that weight more then 25% than him.

I’m a good 50+ pounds on this guy and he can out bench me by 100lbs

[@curiouscreature99]

You can't do 300+

[@jumpman366]

[@henrymccomments]

Yo Yo generally the more weight you have the easier and stronger you are his power to weight is off the charts
