I like how he just tosses it off himself casually at the end
That was crazy lol. Freak strength
That’s What The NFL Does To You. 💪🏾
Yeah, that definitely hurts...even with much less weight, and he just casually tosses it.
@@alexxmares34 well, and steroids, of course lol
@anonymous yeah, the bar must've been made of tin foil then to bend that way. Post a link to your state record, kid.
He definitely holds a world record for the most easily and heavily performed roll of shame ever recorded.
Is that a fact?
Rolled it and held it on his lap.
I can't do hip thrusters with a quarter of that weight because it hurts.
@@AlexRides808 Cuz you ain't James motha fing Harrison. 😂 The dude has been a monster in NFL for many years and benching for decades.
@@ytsux9259 He also prioritizes that specific lift aswell.
@@AlexRides808 bruh a quarter of that weight isnt even 150lbs, there's literally a bunch of 130lb girls doing like 225 hip thrusts in my gym
Dude just rested a quarter of a tonne on his lap and turned to the camera with the same energy Gordon Ramsay has when he tells you how to cook a steak. Mortifyingly strong.
NFL guys are strong in every direction, disgustingly insane power.
Respect to this guy! 40+..close grip press (raw power) and knows how to fail. If you train at home alone im sure you've been there as well
Nah. I have common sense and use safety implements when training alone.
That wasn't close grip. That was just a relatively narrow standard grip. That's his normal grip. Lots of world class guys grip that narrow. His pinkies were maybe an inch inside the rings. Lots of dudes bench like that.
@@rickstark85 I think his point is that he didn’t have a crazy small ROM due to a ridiculous grip width
@@2weakkickflip fair enough
@@2weakkickflip thank you for explaining it for me
just imagine if these NFL beasts actually focused on powerlifting
Nah fr they would be strong asf
I know one guy who was a professional football player and now doing powerlifting. He´s holding national records in my country at 110kg+ class now.
They would be poor if they did that.
@@smokinHawkjh haha true
That’s basically russel orhii
This man had a 100 yard pick 6 in the super bowl. I will never forget it as long as I live.
That's got to be the most graceful toss of heavy weight on a barel I've ever seen
Ever heard of lasha?
He makes it look like it's no big deal and it's the standard way of bailing a bench that people do all the time.
@anonymous Seriously, I thought the same thing. You just can't throw 545lbs off your lap like a paper weight.
Put down phone,go outside
I'm a 6'2 240 man, this guy would toss me like a fucking cake!!!
The ease he got out of that fail with was pretty damn impressive. He literally threw it off of him.
The man is 42 years old. He's stronger than most men in their prime which is around 20s early 30s this man is a monster. He surprises me with how much he can lift at his age, he's an inspiration. It makes me wonder how strong he could get if he tried powerlifting years ago instead of going to the NFL. Also I'm from Pittsburgh so I'm a huge fan of his.
I wonder what his stack is.
@@I_like_turtles_67 who knows
The only thing more fearsome than James Harrison, is that time I saw a picture of James Harrison on Instagram holding a rifle saying no one was gonna take his guns, 😶
Wow! That was like watching a bear man handle enormous weight. Like he didn’t even use any leg drive and used a close grip! That’s insane considering he’s going for a 1 rep max. And then he just uses momentum to roll it onto his lap only to wait a few seconds while it’s resting on the crease of his lap. With this kind of weight that fucking hurts! Hats off to him, truly a physical specimen.
Watch how he doesn't even has build tension from the feet up when he starts the failed attempt. The fact that he moves that weight with raw power is insane.
I feel like if I sat there with 545 on my lap, it would just cut my legs off lol
yes he let go of the barbell while its sitting on his legs like nothing.. that may be the coolest part
Has no idea how to bench, yet benches over 5 plates 😳 that's litteraly insane, if he wanted to he could definitely have a good go to break some bench records
Maybe he's on some super PWO?😀
To be fair, football bench pressers lean close grip without crazy arches for practical reasons. They attack the body of other players at the line, so hitting them between their shoulders on the chest, to push the opposing player off balance. Wide grips and big arches don't translate to that kind of power and strength while standing up. I can't think of any way a powerlifting style bench press correlates to actual movements in day to day life or other sports
@@CasaBonita1018 I wasnt talking about the grip witdh or lack of arch but yeah also that. I was more talking about how extremly loose he was and litteraly refused to use his core to stabalise himself and lose all tension bounce the weight off worse than most gym bros and his wobbly wierd legdrive wich isint even legdrive really
@@CasaBonita1018 he's too big and tall to do crazy arches
Many don't do close grip
@@basicmeme1040 most do. So did most of the football team in high school. Sure, I've seen some who don't. But watching a football team workout you see way more people with narrower grips than a powerlifting meet
Harrison was always a beast on the field and in the weight room
i’m gonna argue throwers...not nfl players, are the strongest
Strongman are the strongest. I’d think something like shoutput is essentially a one lift strength sport.
?
@@brandonhoover2120 true but they are a strength sport. i think he is referring to non strength sports when he says that
@@willheller3006 I think more so my point was I look at throwing sports like shot put as strength sports. Taking a heavy ball and only goal is throw heavy for distance. Even if you don’t, you gotta figure the better paying sports are gonna more likely have the guys with better genetics, which would translate.
@@brandonhoover2120 that’s fair
People think this is 545? LMAO how cute.
Its ridiculous. Almost as ridiculous as people not understanding a bar can bend with less weight, still be heavy AF and just call it 545 with an assortment of varied thickness bumper plates.
This is the internet....where people have no idea how anyone is scammed by phone calls but get scammed daily by lifts, lol.
U mad? Stop crying and begin training
Reminds me of teddy riner (this 6’8 judoka) benching. Jame’s form isn’t great but teddy’s is like 10 times worse lol. he has literally 0 technique and the entire time his feet are sliding everywhere but he’s so strong he somehow manages to get 230kg up lol
@anonymous are you implying fake weights?
@anonymous The bar bends quite a bit for fake weights lol
@anonymous Why do you feel the need to boast about your “state records” as if that somehow validates your shit comment?
@@wickywills He is hurt. He claims to have "2 state records", but some 40+ years old dude with questionable technique is outlifting him by far.
@anonymous Bro I just looked at your channel. You don't have any records. Full of shit. Struggling to press an empty log bar. You can literally see the bar bending you clown
Man, I love this channel. Neat, fun topics in short, digestible spurts, all while entertaining and informing me!
Keep it up, brother! 💪🏻😁👍🏻
I do 4 x 10 repetitions with 80 kg so theoretically this guy could bench me and the actual bench all while I'm doing my workout
Based on the way he handled it, it's quite clear it's a tactic he used often
Agreed
Especially with 0 spotters. He is a mad man if that is a real 525 / 545 with 0 spotters. Like, he wants to be injured.
Honestly, a guy like this could easily come back the next day after taking a little bit of pre workout or having had a better night of sleep and lift this weight.
525lbs was a grind, what made him think he was going to get 545lbs
I don’t think he takes powerlifting that serious. To a powerlifter a 20lbs increase after a grind is blasphemy. This man is just doing this for fun.
I mean that 525 was basically all out, not sure why he thought he had another 20 lbs in there XD
XD
He always does this. It's dangerous but says it motivates him
Sometimes you just got to feel it
@@moa3821 call it ego lifting but honestly failing a weight multiple times just gives you more drive to hit it the next time
Bc he’s James Harrison.
Imagine the bruising on his legs the next day lol
@anonymous lol
Yea. Thankfully, it will heal
@@josephsummers2427 Really? Your telling me humans heal over time? Wow Mind blown. Thank you.
@anonymous Lmfao you’re clowning. He’s one of the very strongest nfl players. He easily has this in the tank.
@anonymous And he’s been working towards this level for years now. Check his post history
You should look at footage of his sled pulls and pushes....... not for the timid by any stretch! 😲😲
At 42 he’s stronger than 99% of current NFL linemen. Crazy strength and work ethic.
No disrespect to the GREAT James Harrison! Several years ago I spotted a former Indianapolis Colt linebacker as a did EIGHT pause reps with 500lbs. These guys are incredibly strong even after their playing days. Shout out to ole #54 Jeff Herrod!
Herrod was a very much underappreciated LB! Great player!
That’s more impressive than him actually benching the weight. Casually rolling 545lb off your legs is absolutely insane 😂😂😂
Just deadlift maxed at 535. This guy is insane
@George Washington nope. I’m just on creatine and protein.
545 just chilling on his thighs, damn that mustve hurt
Crazy strong guy. He can't lift it but he still throws it off with no help. Always in control. Machine.
That bail out looked more like an annoyed “my dog just shit on the carpet and I can’t finish my rep because of it” bail
Harrison did a short stint on our New England Patriots team. The dude is an animal. He'll get the weight soon enough.
"Brother, you have my respect"
Bloatations 200:02
Terry Long had one powerlifting meet, he out totaled Kaz and posted the then third highest total of all time! Beast!
"In 1983, at 23 and a lean 300 lbs., he competed in his first and only powerlifting meet. The numbers seem mythical: 837.7 squat, 501.5 bench press, and, a near world record, 865.3 deadlift. By comparison the legendary Bill Kazmaier won the super-heavyweight class of the Powerlifting World Championships that year (his last competition at 29) with a total of 2149.5. Long, a 23-year-old novice, totaled 2204.5, 55 lbs. more than Kaz! Long had squatted 900 and benched 565 in training, and he likely woud’ve smashed powerlifting world records if he wasn’t drafted into the NFL."
I forgot about that with Long. East Carolina.. Its a shame CTE took him out.
@@JA_WILL Yes. God Bless, Him.
Legend has it, James Harrison only wears hoodies when he trains because it's where he stores the skeletons of all the bodies he has on him.
Played ball with guys like that. A different breed.
One little known secret of strength training is actually the ability to fail safely. Knowing how to fail safely means you will constantly take bigger and bigger challenges. Fear of failure will keep you weak and pathetic.
I thought the secret was USING safety? Because a lot of people refuse to set them up properly.
@@AlexRides808 Not really. Using safety means you rely on a piece of equipment instead of developing the skill to fail safely
Can anyone possibly imagine what it would feel like to be tackled by this beast of a man? I've played a lot of football in my day, some of it against players that went on to have solid pro careers...I always remember getting tackled by certain top guys really felt like getting hit by a truck...James Harrison was one of the hardest hitting tacklers to ever play in the NFL...that bench press & roll-off were both very impressive
The power of hip thrusts
Just amazing to see how he handled that weight. Is that legit 525/545lbs? That is insane
Looking at how the bar moved and whipped it looks pretty real to me. And also based on how much of a fuckin powerhouse this guy was when he played it doesnt surprise me at all he benches so much.
@@bso1469 He’s benching 500lbs plus for sure. I looked at his IG he’s been working on getting it up there for some time now.
Lol, if you grind out a PR, maybe don’t make a 20 pound jump for your next attempt
2.5s already feel too heavy 😂
Just 4% jump
Deebo does what Deebo wants
It's a mindset
you missed the entire point of the video
I would be very afraid to face James Harrison on the field
James Harrison
Not gonna lie, at first glance I thought it was MJ and about lost my shit.
No wrist wraps, no elbow sleeves, no belt...did a 545 sit up and tossed it off his lap like a toy....man
thats james harrison. he used to play for the steelers. he was a beast when he was in the NFL
I've done that when I was younger - and never again! It is super painful when it rolls on your rib cage. I could swear it left some permanent damage but I'm not sure. I've never seen anyone do this since I did it. I didn't even know it was a "thing".
It looks painful lol I always let it fall off one side then let the other side drop. I wouldn't use clamps when lifting alone so that I could do this
Loved watching him when he was with Pittsburgh an absolute animal
No spotter, close grip and constantly talking to himself. Crazy and/or high?😉
to be honest i prefer to max out without a spotter, it forces me to do the rep, or else im fucked.
Go check out some pics he has some of the juiciest triceps you will ever see for someone who never did much body building. Not surprised he prefers a closer grip
@@hairyape_8103 on point, a lot of the top bencher use closegrip, because they a) tricepsdominated
b) its better for the shoulders
a lot of people in these comments don't know who james harrison is. this guy is a freak and that's really all you need to know
i love the fact that he was more annoyed than concerned, and just sat up and tossed 545 lbs off himself
For the people not familiar with this gentleman, this is James Harrison, and I'd say go look his name up with his lifting sessions. This dude is a freaking animal
@George Washington look my guy, he's retired and doing his own thing. Why does it matter if he's on roids? You do realize you still have to put in work to get to that point regardless if ur on gear
@George Washington mmmmmmmm no you don't
I failed 275lbs and had to roll of shame... It was kinda painful. I can imagine 545, haha. I'd get crushed.
J.Harrison hit “the wall” and ran through it.
Role of shame? Role of power. That was clean as fuck.
Dude has no clue how to bench. No arch, no tightness, feet are sliding all over the place. Yet he somehow benches more than most people will ever deadlift. He is a beast and if he actually looked up how to bench and did some practice session to get his form dialed in, he would get that 247 kg without even having to get any stronger.
this is how most football players bench tho. They use their power and explosion (instead of technique) to push the weight up, which makes sense because the actual chest muscle is only a small part of playing football.
Dude probably stronger then most NFL player right now!
DEEEEEBO!!!!! Harrisons a straight BEAST!!! Especially for 42 yrs old!!!!
There needs to be a strongman/powerlifting league for retired nfl beasts like this…
No way was this legit. The key was when he rolled the weight from chest to waist. Way too easy.
Monsters do exist.
Guys this is how you get the bar off of you if you ever fail on a rep. Just relax and Roll it down to your waist. No injuries.
this strong at 42...joints must be good too... i'm impressed...makes me happy because i want to continue lifting as i age
Harrison has always been an absolute beast! Especially to us Steeler fans lol
He is still my number 1 pick of any NFL player that I think would have been a force in strongman 💪
James Harrison is still in shape to play in NFL
ROLLING THAT WEIGHT OFF WAS MORE IMPRESSIVE TO ME THAN ACTUALLY MAKING THE PRESS. HE DID NOT FAIL; HE JUST DID NOT PRESS IT YET. YOU ONLY FAIL WHEN YOU QUIT AND NEVER GO BACK TO IT.
I got into a beef over a parking spot with this guy. I mailed him the pink slip last week.
he was a legit beast on the field
Dude brushed that bar off like it was dog hair or something! Damn.
Gotta respect the 2.5pound plate
Have ya ll never seen james harrisons workout videos before ? And nfl gameplay footage , dudes a monster stop the hate
The most impressive thing is that hip thrust at the end lmao
I wouldn’t even attempt 100 lbs. without a spotter for fear of live streaming my own death.
this guys an actual melon going for that 20lbs jump after barely making that last lift. Like i respect the confidence but come on
I have lifted for almost 35 years. I am 47 and started at 13...I was 256 lbs at my heaviest in college and was jacked...I trained with heavy free weights, but was not into the power lifting look so I kept it more to a bodybuilding look..my heaviest bench was 530...it was once...I usually cruised in the 3s and 4s for more reps as I was not looking to single rep max...anyway my point is to say in no way shape or form is the way he man handled that weight easy...to lay and roll over 500 lbs and control it when laying it on yourself is just nuts. I've felt that weight...I hit it at 22 yrs old and at 47 I still remember what it felt like...I still train with heavy (not nearly as much as back then) free weights 5 days a week , but threw cardio in when I turned 30...so my weight is nowhere near what it was.cim focused on keeping in the best shape as possible as I age...not sure how many of you have been over 500 on the bench , but the ones that have really know how insanely strong this man is.
nobody in this channel can bench press 500+ pounds. If you managed that back then you're the only one here. Because maybe 1/10'000 people can do that or even less...The strongman Brian Shaw who has a chest bigger than anyone else could do 5 repetitions with 500 pounds. He was about 400 pounds and Worlds strongest man. So if you really managed 530 pound this is remarkable...The NFL players are probably all bench pressers and psychopaths and many of them roiders. So I think nobody can compare to them...
Bro tossed that weight like it was paper lmao
Dude's moving around 545lbs like it's his warmup weight
That's a fail to be proud of, he just slung 247kg to the ground like nothing 🤣🤣🤣 at 42. Absolute beast.
First press you showed was really solid. Not to mention close grip. He was at least 3 fingers in from the inside ring. Anyways, this is why you don't put collars on your bench if you are alone.
James Harrison 92 is my favourite NFL player of all time....oh and as mad as a box of frogs🤣🤣
Absolutely mad - RPE 9.5, 20lb jump, zero technique legs and feet not even set, misses, rolls quarter of a ton like its nothing then bounces it off his lap i disgust. STRONG AF 😂😂
I would not want to have to tackle a man this strong
We gotta all stop calling it the roll of shame. It's the most manly way to fail cause you aren't too scared to try
Give it up, there comes a time when “Father Time” catches up with all of us. Keep working but be smart!
I feel you bruh ... My best ever was 315...but that was about 40 years ago but I weighed only 180 lbs...Im 60 now and 235 is my max....3 reps one set, rest then 2 reps my last set thats after after my 2 warm up sets...and the injuries seem to last a bit longer...both elbows have tendentious, lower backs been whacker 3 times this year and arthritis in my left wrist...I tried 240 about 5 weeks ago...just couldn't get it off my chest...
No spotter?!? Crazy strong and just plain crazy.
How can you be sure it's 525/545? The plates are all different thicknesses.
No way is that weight correct. Look like plastic plates and the way he moved it not right for over 500lb
I just know his legs bruised AF lolol that was some beast shit
James Harrison is a dangerous person lmao
Everyone who starts lifting heavy should learn how to do this first. It's just like your breakfalls and rolls in martial arts.
The most important part is not trying to rerack until your elbows are locked. That weight on his neck would've killed him.
Yeah this is normal for me, i mean, watching the video, not the 500+ bench
If I tried this, this would definitely be normal for me.
Insanely Strength!
That’s totally insane to me. I train for strength, in my 40s and I am strong. Below 200 lbs body weight. Can bench 340 lbs, deadlift over 600, and squat 550. It’s weird that my squat is nearly as strong as my deadlift. It just is.
But this beast, Jesus Christ! If you look close, his grip is on the inside of the power ring, that’s by definition a close grip bench. I Imagine because of his age, he has shoulder issues, and is probably why he goes close. But also, his leg drive is almost non existent! I see no flow from his legs to his bench. I see tension in his legs, but that’s about it.
Also, he is nearly flat. Don’t even look like he is pinching his shoulders much. Guess he don’t need to because his grip is so close.
Then the way this guy rolled and handled that weight. 😂. Fucking insane! I would be worried if I got stuck with three plates!
Could be an interesting video comparing pro athletes from other sports in terms of their gym power lifting numbers?
James Harrison is my spirit animal...true beast.
What an absolute beast. Safety bars are a must for this though
James Harrison will be the type of dude who'll be in his 60s and still benching 300 plus pounds.
I cant believe he tried that.
He flicks it off with disgust!!!
