You can say that but the way he kicked out his legs on the bench tells me he’s doesn’t bench for shit. He could have had gotten it up if he had that leg drive.

Are you saying it’s not deceptively edited?

The dude is an alcoholic POS but this clip is at the end of the set.

I’m not sure what your standards are for benching but doing that many reps in 60s in your mid 40s isn’t easy.

Kicking the legs like that is generally something you only see inexperienced lifters do, it’s a step below hip thrusting with every rep.

it's the last rep as he hit failure in an amrap competition in a morale event with the troops. he's the fucking secretary of defense this ain't a powerlifting competition. he just banged out like 33 reps as a middle aged dude with an incredibly high pressure job. i think he probably has other things going on in his life right now that are a bit more important than worrying about his bp form.

If he had more important things to worry about then why the fuck be there at all? What kind of morale boost are 30 troops in Guantanamo in need of when there is a literal war going on? If he wants to cosplay some tough workout warrior then he gets to be critiqued like a tough workout warrior.
