We talk about ego lifting a lot but sometimes there are lifters who truly know their strength.
“I hit this PR in March 2015. But it took years to get to this point. “
This video showcases the complete opposite of an ego lift. A heavy-ass impressive bench press. It’s motivational.

Totally fake, I’m seeing a lot of these “FAKE” lifts online. This should be removed…
Lol the amount of butt hurt in your comment is hilarious, this dude is known for this on YouTube, you think he carries around multiple different types of fake weights with different types of color/metal/material to every gym he goes to?
Hey that’s my gym
Sascha Franke
Thomas Rasmussen
Are these weights real? I mean no disrespect but fake weight news are on the roll these days and one does gets doubtfull watching this.
Nah it’s real dude :))
Thats really nice. Hats off to the lad
Castleberry
Thắng Thông proof?
This video is like 8 years old on YouTube and he has videos even older doing progress and his competitions etc.
One of his mates once commented here that it really is true
Last video looked fake. The weights on the rack in the background were all round, the ones he used were not.
It’s real
Only one rep though that was definetly something man
NOTICE, He re-racks his weights.
Lol. Old school!!!
yah not “planet fitness” or 24 hour fitness. If you get up to Aurora CO. drop in to Colorado’s Pro Gym.
Respect
Ray Nunez
I mean he might be 154 but he’s not skinny
Exactly people only look at weight but he’s prob only 5’4..
Is fake weight
Long Nguyen he’s hit the numbers in sanctioned USAPL competitions
Not buying….
-mad cause he can only bench 225
Bitch I curl 225…you faggot ass young bitch
Ok I was with you till you said you curl 225, you don’t…
This video is like 8 years old he hits 445 same body weight now.
It’s called having low bodyfat %.
You don’t know shit…dumb fuck. It’s called sarcasm. Eat a dick
Long Nguyen is his name usapl competitor.
Looks like a bruce lee all muscle!!!! Pretty impressive if i don’t say…
Isn’t Pitbull from the Strength Cartel pretty light and benching 405ilbs for reps?
he’s not natty and heavier than this dude
It believe he’s 180 but ya 4bills and not natty
Yeh, Pitbull is probably not natty but still 405ilbs is a decent weight and at his body weight; usually quoted at ~165ilbs, for reps is amazing.
How is it even possible to stay that light and lift that much weight. You’d think to get to that level you’d have to consume large amounts of calories and grow bigger. Is it genetics. Could the average man do that with his dedication
Pretty impressive. I was doing 315s at 150lbs. But 405 is crazy
Felipe DC it just seems alien. Big men lift big weights. He’s 2 and a half stone lighter than me and could rep out sets of 12-15 of my 1 lift maximum
154 at his height is pretty big and he most likely has prime bench press leveraged. My friend has super good deadlift build hands almost touch his knees standing straight up and dead’s 660 at 183 raw.
Ya genetics do play a role, whether people like to admit it or not… if you have short arms and a thick chest obviously your benching is going to be advantageous over someone with a thin chest and long monkey arms because of the range of motion required
He’s just really efficient in using his neuromuscular system to produce lots of force in a short time (power).
Bernardo Costa exactly
Beyond impressive I say.. He lifts as much as someone 70-100Lbs or more would.Amazing genes
Pamela Donovan – post for you
Luke Joe John Macfadyen Dylan Parlour Yok Broughton
Damn he is like 69-70kg
I believe it a real weight bro. My mate back in NZ he was 54kgs and bench 160kgs 3reps.!!? plus he a badass MuayThai fighter as well.
Yea very possible. When I was like 18-20 was Benching 350-400 I was about 200 pounds and was only 5’7 I don’t really lift much any more like once a month but very do able
Sorry,bullllllshit !
Not bullshit actually..
Long Nguyen he’s hit the numbers in competition.
455lbs and i was 191, no fucking way he did that.
Because your numbers set the bar of what can and cannot be done?
I’m 135lbs and I bench mid 3s raw you’re just weak bro my vids are up too. Check yourself before you claim someone’s a fake
His name is Long Nguyen. He competes usapl.
Lol
Hunter Hernandez hahahaha well I just went and checked and seems to me like all you’re good at is posting videos of other people lifting heavy weight. No videos of yourself…. lol.
Clint Jex Shepard must have seen the wrong account I have over 50 videos of me benching 300+ … there’s even vids of me going 415 multiple times in a red slingshot too
Genetics has a lot to do with benching heavy weight. Form and tendons plays a big roll. When I was 155 lbs I had a chest and arms like his. But I could only max 315. Seen guys like him even smaller bench weight like that. But put them in a full body heavy workout and they can’t hang. I am 55 and still do heavy full body workouts.
I’m 155 lbs now, intermediate lifter
How did you go up from 155 lbs?
Viraj Vaghela it took me a year of eating 6 meals a day and lifting heavy three days a week religiously to add 25 lbs of muscle. I stay then at 180 for several years until my metabolism slowed down with age. Then in my thirties I stayed to add 10lbs a year till I maxed out my body weight at 225lbs @13% body fat @5’10. So I am now 54 years old and still maintain 225 and between 13 to 16% body fat and am still strong. Natural bodybuilding takes years. The addition of steroids will pack on weight fast only if you lift hard and heavy and lots of food and rest. Trouble with that is people start steroids before the find out what their bodies potential is. It’s takes until your late twenties to max out your bodies potential is you lift and eat properly. Them and only then should steroids be added in an effort to go to the next level.
My hero
I agree. My right shoulder is destroyed from 20 years of baseball. Literally cant bench 265. Deadlift and Squat are all in the 400+. But it all evens out because there are guys who cant do that but can bench 400. Body type and Genetics are extremely important.
Couple time i bench 375 and was heavy like hell he made 2 reps i was 210 lbs 5 feet 6 inch..no red face no vein …well if real he ‘s strong..
Long Nguyen is his name. You can look up his competition numbers
Adam Coppard
More than my squat ? 2/3rds of his body weight in his chest and tris, beast
Yea look at his shoulders and posture
Looks very odd. The bar barely bends. Respect if its real. But i dont buy it.
Why don’t you look him up if you are a skeptic. His name is Long Nguyen.
He’s legit
who cares jerk
Andy Maxwell sick
Neil check this out.
Damn!
Fake news
Terry Martin
That is a good lift, nice and controlled . No arched back or lifting off the bench. Beast mode
Nate Christian
That’s insane. Now if he deadlifts and squats he’d be a badass.
Haha there’s no way. Need to have 0 glutes for weight reduction.
Jandriko Gerbsch Eric Shiplack
Appreciate what people are saying however however I have seen skinnier blokes, he has a hell’uva set of arms and shoulders?
Someone’s bin reading Brady Castleberrys book
Long Nguyen is his name unlike Castleberry. He’s hit these numbers in competition.
Dudes legit
someone wanted to act like an asshole today and he did congratulations dude
someone’s jealous
Kenny Wright
What a Fucking dumb spotter.
Nice lift my man
Good ol fake weights haha
Jealous much
Or yea I’m real jealous of what someone can lift bahaha
Long Nguyen is his name. He’s a usapl lifter. He hit 315 at 138lbs In 2002 in high school.
Or so it’s real thats cool
I struggle to do a few reps with my bodyweight
Jesus Isla
Guys the real deal.
http://gravitus.co/blog/ufpwrlifter-path-to-410lb-bench-press/
He shows how he worked his way up and gets hurt and retires from max bench forever. You’re welcome
Look at that Workout Anytime location. Niceeeee
Thanks for the motivation
Size doesn’t matter https://youtu.be/W8xsFn1yPW4
He was a powerlifter in college. This video is from the atc fitness in Bartlett TN I’ve worked out with dude before he’s a beast. It just takes years of training and badass form. It’s 100% legit
It’s impressive not really that hard to believe though.why do people think it’s fake.
Nick Spoder Gibbs
Andy Poon
And he flip 300kgs tyres.
“Skinny”
Heads up in to the guys in the comments, lieing about benching heavy dont make you any more fit xP
Yo Mikey Hernandez
Idk how I feel about that
I feel like a bitch lol
That’s Olympic strength if those are real plates
Nate Boonprohm
Antonio Smart…instead of going heavier in body weight, you should go lighter and be able to pick 400. We’ve been doing it all wrong
Obviously none of you have been to powerlifting meets. I watched a dude 5″5 158 pounds squat 450 lbs and bench 345. Don’t be jealous hoe,eat!!
Fake weights guys looked them up its a fuckin shitty ass trend for fake ass wannabes….
Bjorn Houben
Ja the fuck.. vroag mich zelfs af of dit echt is :/, zo insane xD

Sean Tran skinny guy
