Awesome videos, lookin forward to more content..... and where can I get. Me some of those cupcakes?

Didn't Geoff say at one point he could bench 600 pounds?

Also Idras bulked up quite a bit. Impressive.


Did you see how easy Geoff did that bench? Down, up, real quick.

Incontrol needs to teach IdrA and Machine how to benchpress their form was horrible. Idra arched his back (very bad) and dint take the bar to his chest. While it looked like machine bounced the bar off of his chest to get the weight to a height were he could lift it.

Anyone else think Incontrol swinging from the bar was funny? I bet he was a panda in his former life lol.

I believe Incontrol has said that he used to do strongman competitions. It would be ignorant to just call it fat.


the last sentence is wrong! incontrol would never fight his own kind :p


I believe he wouldn't fight that kind of bear:

I just hope they are spending as much time practicing as they are weight lifting. I remember one MLG they said they didn't have enough time to practice but they were still always working out.

But shit incontrol is a tank

Incontrol though O.O jebus


not necessarily, he lowered the bar suprisingly slow, compare his and machine's. you also have to stop the weight

Yeah; if you are lifting anything around or above your body weight you need to arch the back and have good shoulder posture. The EG players show good technique; and within an inch or two of the chest is fine for bench press; there is no need to go the full way down. For reference I used to bench a lot for football and hit a wall at around 220 lbs until I used better technique (back arch!) and eventually worked up to 265 lbs.
