ahhah great lift , sempai! congrats . hahah now let me predict some of the response posts that will appear sooner or later in this thread, judging from the pattern of previous threads :  1) photoshop 2) his forearms are obviously too small to support such a weight, therefore it is a fake 3) magnets on top that's why camera is taking only up to chest level 4) spotter took hands off for 1 milisecond for the shot ahhahhaha  |

Those weights must be either inflatable or light plastic.
Just kidding! Good job.
Will putting your legs up on the bench help to lift the weight and protect the lower back? I heard this from an SSC instructor but I would like to have your opinion.
Also, how does bodyweight affect a bench press? Does being lighter make it harder, or being heavier make it easier? I know bodyweight does play a part in standing pulls and standing presses, how does it play a part in bench presses?

One word, neber listen to ssc instructor...Refer to dl thread ;D Putting ur legs on the bench would make ur body unstable during the lift, Furthermore, by putting ur legs on the bench, u miss out the opportunity to use ur leg strength to trust the bar up. Benching is more of a raw strength exercise, besides having a shorter ROM for benching when having a bigger chest, i doubt there is much of a difference ;D unlike squatting where excess fat can prove to be an advantage  |

I know bodyweight does play a part in standing pulls and standing presses, how does it play a part in bench presses? nope legs down... its IMPOSSIBLE to balance with legs up. SSC instructors couldnt bench their way out of a paper bag... clueless ... really... ther pressure is on the UPPER back for the bench (duh) so thats the part that matters. Weight makes a differnce cos if i weighed 275 lbs... a 315 banch is pathetic... but its very good at 180+lbs weight. Lok 3i is right as u can see i have fairly long arms so bnching is not my strong lift... DL is better for long limbed guys. |

I'll not be replying to any of these posts... anybody can read my posts and compare them to the posts of those who somehow seem to have a problem with me. They can see for themselves who tries to help and share their experiences, and who does not contribute to the knowldege or atmosphere here.

Not talking about heavier as in bigger size, of course bigger people are heavier. Heavier as in more weight on the same person. Would not losing your 11lbs actually help you to bench more? Yeah, long arms short torso = good for DL, short arms long torso = good for squat. P.S: Do quarrels usually happen in threads like these? |

Hi bro CJ,
You have mentioned that during heavy BP, the feet should be on the ground assisting the push as well. However, many are concern about our lower back when it starts to arch during the lifting part (a naturally sub consious action). To eliminated the back from aching, we would lift the legs high, but this will cause imbalance for the beginners. I would suggest to place both feet on an elevated ground under the bench. ie a stepping board. This will not only prevent the back from rounding but also prevent the body from going off balance.
cheers
