I stumbled across this nonsense on you tube. The guy is shockingly pretty strong but im not sure about starting off a heavy bench like this. what do you guys think?

[Adonis13]

hmmmm, i go with stupid, wasting lots of energy and only 2 reps.

[marino]

strong and stupid

[tiramisu]

Just having a little fun.

[japh]

lol definately some wasted energy in that complex

[guest]

meh, he may have had his reasons. strong for sure. some of the comments were pretty stupid.

[andrewT]

that was quite odd

[Victor85]

Very stupid and stupidly strong.

[Andre Gregoire]

I have to agree with the others strong and stupid.

Kind of like a clean and Incline Bench Press instead of a Clean and Press. lol

[Big D]

I didn't think anyone was filming me

[bigtavi8]

lolol i knew u guys would get a kick out of this. I just watched and i and i thought to myself. Ok am i going to laugh at this guy or be impressed by that feat of strength. Stupid as he is ive never seen anyone start a 3 plate bench like that. :welldone

[Praetorian]

James Wigfall, He's a trainer for the Charlotte Hornets and claims to be natural. He looks better than probably 98% of the people here. Not bad for being a complete moron.

[morty]

Looks like fake weights to me

[Jazzy]

[guest]

I second that.

Maybe 315 is his warmup? Def not mine lol....... mines a lot lower.
Impressive IMHO that he was able to control that weight to get it up by himself and not kill himself.

[Praetorian]

Why are people impressed when idiots do stupid things....its not complimentary believe me. When the guy tears his shoulder and the noobs are all doing it where are we then....thats why there are benches and racks with safety bars etc....to allow you to go heavy without the risk of injury. Doing what he did was just plain foolish period...it is NOT impressive in the least. You want to impress people load the incline with 4-5 plates aside and do full range reps...get serious.

The real question is if you saw a 120lb guy doing this with 50lbs would you think it's dumb? The answer is yes. Which is why someone who should know better doing it with more weight makes it all the more dumb.

[rob66679]

I just checked out the guys channel, he's a monster if he is drug free like he claims.
Theres a vid on there of him doing 315 for 15 reps ( nice clean no bounce ) with his legs up in the air.
Maybe a warmup is relative to what your strenth is?

Then he should video the 315 for good reps and not this crap as it is a very bad example for beginners etc.

I know what your saying, I would never try that or tell anybody else that is a good idea.

Still not as disturbing as the juiced up 15 YO though.

lol

[flapjack]

I don't doubt that he's strong, but that's a great way to get a hernia.

[Mr.Meat]

Nahh hes just lazy... Too lazy to setup 2 barbells...

[Forever]

Strong: Him
Stupid: WTF ever I just watched him do.

Thanks Carl.

[jurr]

i think the fact that he can do that is impressive, to say its stupid....well thats a matter of perspective isn't it? the man seems to have very good functional strength, im sure he can do the normal and proper technique of the incline bench very easily, seems like he just wanted to show off his other skills in the video. You can injure yourself with anything and using any weight but he did not, whos to say what he did was not "perfect form" for what he does.
