Is that even a real thing? I mean sure I've heard people claim to have seen it, but never met anyone claim to have done it and I've been hanging around gyms for nearly four decades and never seen anything like it with my own eyes. The worst i've ever seen personally are calf raises in the leg press and curls in the squat rack. Are these dudes real or just Internet memes?
Yes its absolutely real!
It's all over tick tock and YouTube!
that's seriously the biggest pile of shit in bodybuilding.
I understand using bands or whatever equipment for muscle growth, but that's not your personal record for sure.
Every single day I see a new post of someone claiming they hit a 900, 1,000 or 1,300lb bench press.
You click on the video and it's this bullshit.
Someone wearing slingshots and hanging bands from the ceiling.
Then claiming a new pr!
Its called a "assisted lift pr"
How much assistance doesn't seem to matter, all that matters is how much they say is on the bar.
Its becoming insanely popular... and I CAN'T FUCKING STAND IT!
Julius Madox just hit 796lb raw... no bullshit!
No bands, no slingshot.
796lb on the bar, brought it down to his chest, paused..... and put that shit up! Full range of motion... like a mother fucking man!
And its barely getting talked about. it's the heaviest bench... ever!
But all these fuck muppets are talking about are these assisted lifts. Because the numbers are higher...
I... grr... I fucking hate people!
