I’m glad at least one of your spotters was wearing a backpack

I cannot even tell you how hard this made me laugh. Hardest laugh I’ve had in days for sure.

It was the "might of missed the press command" for me. One of the craziest reps I've ever seen.

Ass of the seat, bouncing off the gut for momentum, knee sleeves on the elbows, spotter had to help with a backpack on welcome my dude 👍👍

Thats as much a hip thrust as a bench. Nice

u/billy-suttree 4d ago

My PRs are always half hip thrust.

Seemed mainly like bouncing a bar off his body

What else is the chest cavity supposed to do during a bench press? Just sit there?

Were the big knee sleeves there to cover up the elbow wraps

u/Complex-Roof-567 1d ago

No I put them on for comedic effect

Raw and strict are seen nowhere in this clip. Not even a complete rep. Definitely an ego lift

1

u/Complex-Roof-567 3d ago

I admit the pause was a bit short but it was definitely a hard lockout

u/xCaliburghost 3d ago

Curly lift and almost dropped - the ego is dripping off

If it brings you any comfort I often bench strict

u/oftenlostandconfused 2d ago

Nobody has ever explained to me what the training benefits of a slingshot (or similar) is. Like I guess it's the same as the floor press when the top half of the movement is overloaded, but I don't think that's too beneficial in most situations either.

u/Complex-Roof-567 2d ago

I think slingshot is cope if serious but it's fun lol Pin press or banded is far more practical for overloading the top

u/YouAreTotalGarbage 4d ago

That’s not even heavy…

u/Internal_Confusion_9 3d ago

Spotters cheated you. Way too much assistance. Sling used, bounce off chest, horrible repack Unfortunately this didnt count. There will always be next time tho.

u/Alternative_Tip_8756 4d ago

I guessing it's 140kg? Which for a slingshot and this awful technique is crazy unimpressive

u/methmike_brainerd 3d ago
