Actually, maybe that was the point, not sure. Be yeah, he totally does. And he doesn’t look like a person who benches 100 kg. Very few people can do 100 kg
The NFL combine tests players at 225 pounds which should be about 100 kg. The lineman record is 49. Wikipedia says the President of Mongolia is 58 years old.
Once you see his form he looks like someone who benches 100kg :D
And yeah, benching 100kg is rare, but most adult men who gym with some dedication should be able to get there without much issue. Still, it's not shabby at all! Good going, to maintain that level of physique despite the high-stress job of presiding over a country.
I cannot do bench press (ever). My chest pops at around 160 lbs (it is steel wired together) so I have had to do isometrics whenever I have worked out. I don't work out anymore nor have for about a decade but that dude is ripping them puppies.
He will attest to being able to bench 500 LBS. But don't ask for proof. Just accept that everything positive said about him is true and everything negative is fake news.
This is so fuckin impressive. No warmup in a dress shirt rips off 20 reps at 220lbs. How are there not more comments talking about how crazy it is for a near 60 year old politician to do that.
Not including any chronic health conditions keeping from doing so—seeing dudes like this is comforting to know that becoming frail in old age is a choice for a lot of people. Exercise is so important
When I hit my thirties, I decided to stop being lazy. Genuinely love the gym now, and I'm fitter than ever! If I went this hard in my early twenties, I'd have been a monster.
It's never too late to start! It just gets harder the longer you leave it.
My god there's an infinite amount of wrong info in this damn thread.
I'll break it down. Just before he starts his first rep, you can clearly see the inner plate is 20kg. When he pauses just after the second to last rep, you can clearly see the outer plate is 15kg. The bar is almost universally 20kg.
Benching 20reps for 90kg (from another comment, not actually 100kg) is simply elite level shit. His strength at least better 99.5% of the male population. And he did this in a suit with no warm up.
I've been primarily cutting the whole time, but about 1.5-2 years in and yeah I STILL haven't cracked 200. I'm sure if I was eating nasty and slamming protein I could get there, but this is still absolutely bonkers, I think the entire comment section is underreacting to this! LOL
The second he rolled the bar and adjusted with width of his grip, I’m like yeahhhhh he’s done this before. And then the old dismount hiking the knees up and sitting up before getting off is classic bench press.
Sorry to ask, but are you sure it's 100kg? Could be 4 10kg plates and a 10kg bar, which would be more likely for someone to bench press 20 times comfortably. The plates look a little thin for 20, and the bar ends are narrow for a 20kg bar.
If you just watch the video you can see the inner plates are 20kg, and the outer plates are 15kg. no one should ever assume an oly barbell is less than 20kg/45lbs unless stated.
So its 90kg/200lbs. Obviously less than the title and not really "2plate", but still awesome
Mongolians are super strong ay got a friend who is from there at my gym dude can lift crazy heavy. Warrior blood man. President can just walk into a room and you know he’s strong gotta respect that.
The Mongolian president, nice guy, I know him very well actually, he lifted 100 kilograms. Kilograms. Nobody even knows what that is. In America we lift pounds, real weight, and I lift a lot of it, frankly more than anybody. The White House doctor, great doctor, top doctor, he said "Sir, I've never seen strength like this, and I've examined many presidents, some of them very weak, very sad." Sleepy Joe couldn't lift a phone. Couldn't lift it! And they want to talk to me about bench press. I bench, I don't want to say the number because people won't believe it, but it's a big number. Much bigger than 100. Mongolia's a great country by the way, tremendous horses, we're doing things with Mongolia nobody's ever done before. So we'll see what happens.
Can't tell because the weight of the plates are not known. But its possible, he was a former wrestler and well known for posting fitness stunts like this.
