      @BrianE_PhD Рік тому +3

      Elite lifters have massive pecs and excellent leg drive, making the bottom portion of the lift relatively easier. On the other hand, locking out weight requires sufficient triceps strength, which becomes a limiting factor for many top guys when they’re moving such ludicrous weights

    • @holliswilliams8426
      @holliswilliams8426 Рік тому +1

      I think it's just because the triceps are the weak point, like when you get stuck on the overhead press it's usually the triceps which fail you, so you can get the bar moving often but just can't push with the triceps to lock it out.

And for what it's worth all those lifters were huge raw benchers but raw wasn't a thing back then. Iirc Scot Mendelson is still the only man to hold equipped and raw bench press world records at the same time.

    Everyone that is talking shit about equipped lifting has clearly never tried it. The amount of strength it takes to control a weight way over your raw max without losing it or getting out of position is ridiculous. Most people who try equipped lifting won't be able to do much over their raw max at first in comparison to these elite guys. Completely different skill set and in my opinion equipped lifting is much more stressful and there's much more room for things to go wrong. Respect both for what they are different divisions of the same sport just like tested vs untested divisions.

    Jimmy Kolb has benched 1,463lb to a 1 board... Or 663.5kg.
    His 1120lb in a single ply F8 shirt is legit... I mean yes the shirt gives you a lot, but the guy is a legit bencher. If he wasn't he wouldn't be head and shoulders above his competition...
    I mean why doesn't someone just take his bench records? Or Dave Hoff's 3103lb/1,407kg total.
