One of the best benchers ever

in my opinion. Matt is one of the best bench technicians I've ever seen. You can really see how he uses his legs to lock out even in his setup. 800 pounds by a 220 guy is unbelievable.

Insane strength. I remember hearing about Anthony Clark's 800 lb bench at well over 300 lbs and thinking that was insane. I wonder what the upper limits are?

royce,

in the bench, about 1000 lbs it seems. I dont think you will see a 1500 bench no matter how strong the shirts get. You wont be able to get it to touch,lol!

you will,however,see lighter and lighter guys do it.

155 x 3 x 5, 160 x 3 x 5, 20 kg swings 5 x 8/8, floor pushups 40, 35

 Thought about going back to 5x5 for a hot second then my left shoulder  reminded me why I stopped doing them before. It doesn't seem to...
