Official What the F*** does Palhares Bench Thread

by **TheAssassin** » Tue May 01, 2012 8:30 pm

He's doing one hard rep with 5 plates on each side. The plates are in kilograms and not in pounds. The plates on the inside are each 20 pounds, I don't know what the bigger two round plates are or the two smallest outside ones are.

If we take that the 5 plates = 80kilos on each side, then double it, add in 20 for the bar we get 180 kilos, which is almost a 400 pound bench press?

That's not too hard to believe. He's got those short little T-Rex arms. Perfect for bench press.

The question I came away with is, Why are they so weird looking? Seriously, Palhares is kind of fucked up looking, and his coach is downright bizarre.

He practices benching at home by pressing his entire leg collection. Makes a 400lb press look like nothing.

his strength coach is a racoon?

I believe he can do 400lbs. I know a guy that look much smaller than him that weigh ~200lbs that do 500. He is a freak of fucking nature though. If my skinny ass did 315 when I was 175lbs then Paul Harris can do 400 easy. I think 315 will be the most I ever do...shortly after I tore my rotator cuff at BJJ practice...

I tore mine lifting weights in my cold ass garage in the winter, I guess I should have warmed up properly, never been the same since, woe is me :evil:
