205! for Idra? He's gained respect from me!


well, he didn't do a complete bench press to the chest, so it doesn't count as an attempt.

Well I'm sure he regrets some small things, but overall I think he is happy with the decision. He looked uncomfortable there as I believe I have heard he doesn't know much English at all, but most of his time will be spent in Korea so things should be fine for him. Also, that was (as far as I know) the first time he met his teammates, so that just adds even more to the discomfort. Either way, I hope things work out for him and EG.

I'd like to see a guy like IdrA wearing wrist braces as well if he's going to get right into benchpressing. That bar puts a ton of pressure on your wrists in a position of extension, which isn't great for ye olde carpal tunnel.

Also I hope they are doing a balanced exercise regime. Focusing on bench isn't ideal when you spend hours a day in front of a computer (your shoulders will tend to be rounded/internally rotated). Deadlifts would be a good complementary exercise.

Yes, let's judge a mans happiness on a video where we see him for about 15 seconds right after he gets off a transatlantic flight and just got through customs. Seriously people...

I chuckled at the GG in the end.

Edit: For some reason, I just imagined Incontrol in a marauder suit, and it doesn't look awkward on him at all...

Ye, bench press + gaming for 8-12 hours a day isn't ideal..: :/
In order to succeed, your desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure.

I was shocked to see Idra actually get 205 though, he can easily go up to. Looks like I need to get back to the gym.


I don't think the person tabulating the weights can count right.

By that video, Idra's got two 45-lb plates and two 30 lb plates. So unless that's a 55 lb bar, I can't tell how accurate those numbers are. Not saying as a hater, just as someone who's worked as a personal trainer...


You're lack of knowledge when it comes to the bench press makes me wonder whether you have any credibility as someone whose worked as a personal trainer. Or maybe you worked as a personal trainer in the cardio room or yoga room?

Typically weights come in 45, 35, 25lbs. The bar is 45 lbs. This is pretty common knowledge for anyone whose remotely tried the bench press. Therefore, 2 45 pound plates + 2 35lb plates + a 45 pound bar = 205lbs.

Not only does it sound like you're a hater but it doesn't sound like you've worked as a personal trainer at all.


Oop, he's right. It's been a while. Mistook the 35pounders for 30s (which do exist, btw). That's why the idea of a 55lb bar thew me off..

But yeah, then I guess Idra's doing well for himself (for a guy his size).
"power overwhelming"... work, dammit, work!

He probably does a little bit.. but its more likely an emotional thing. From his POV, its not always easy to travel so much and meet up a group of strangers who don't even speak your language.

I would expect him to be fine though, especially now that hes more acclimated with the team.
