Idra's form is the worst,he just go a little over parallel instead of touching his chest. His real bench press must be something like 180/185. Still, for his frame, that's pretty good. 5/10 Machine went down too fast, i was almost scared for him. 7/10 | ||

Not sure about his fat/muscle/water levels and his height tho, as those are important. But he doesn't really look like what you'd expect from a guy who can lift that shit. | ||

It was tough though. Not only did security EMP him, depleting his physical strength/energy, but right as he was about to step out of the plane after it landed, they forcefielded the ramp on both ends and stormed -_- He managed it in the end though. | ||

It'll be more interesting to see how much he weighs. Maybe 375-400pounds? So a bench press of 435 isn't really that impressive. His bodyfat percentage must be in the 50%+ | ||

His bodyfat percentage must be in the 50%+ He's definitely no more than 325 and 30%. 50% is completely obese. It's not like he has any rolls or anything, he's just bulky. The 435 was easy too (actually looked like 425 though? 4 plates and a 10 each side?), he could probably do around 475 raw. If he cut down he would look great, I know a guy who was 380 and one of the strongest teens in the world but hideously fat, cut down to 275 and looks absolutely amazing. Benching over your bodyweight also becomes exponentially harder the higher the weight becomes. IdrA is probably like 145 and benching 205 is about the same percentage over bw as Incontrol, but Incontrol's bench is far more impressive. | ||

Yes there is some muscle loss with cutting but the majority of it can be reduced simply by eating enough protein a day and still doing a full routine every now and then. If he just started running and worked his way to 5 miles a day, all that fat would just melt off and he'll be one scary looking person. Though it'll be a lot of work; but I'm sure he can do it just fine if he's worked up to a 400lb+ bench. Its insane how fast your body will slim out to support high intensity and long distance running. | ||

also to everyone who calls him fat, i say this, last years worlds strongest man weighed in at 375 lbs, and not a single competator weighs less than that, and none of them have the build of a bodybuilder. i would like to know how much INC weighs for comparative purposes, since last years winner benches less than double his body weight. | ||

Well, since my mother language isn't English, its really hard to explain what i know/have heard. I'm not an eye doctor or optician myself, but what i have heard from my father and his colleagues who are opticians, it has something to do with your vision and refractive error still developing(getting better or worse. Dunno if the word developing is the right word to describe what i mean..) or similar to that. I've been thinking about getting lasik my self, but what i found out it's just better to wait till you are 24-25 or older when your vision is somewhat "stable". I suggest you to go see an eye doctor or optician. They should know exactly the reason and tell if its worth it. e. ah Bear4188 said it pretty well i guess(previous page). But yeah. | ||

And that is some serious weight incontrol is throwing around. Idra cheated a bit with the arched back, but 205 is very respectable for someone of his build. these videos legitimately made me like EG more He didn't cheat with an arched back, that is how you perform it. However, the weight didn't touch his chest, so he cheated a bit with that. Would like to know the weight of the individual before the lift, as a way to properly gauge their strenght. Incontrol had a very nice lift. The one tho lifted second, also cheated a bit by bouncing the weight on his chest, but still an okay technique. | ||

Durp, 1 rep means very little especially when you have poor form. Greg could seriously injure himself by doing that shit. Might want to do a dead lift with all that weight instead. Proper form is key in any lifting you do. Meh, what do I care. It's his body. | ||

That high of a body fat percentage doesn't mean he's skinny lol. He's obviously very strong too. Putting up that kind of weight obviously takes a pretty sizable amount of muscle. Being strong does not mean that you aren't fat though. If he actually lost some weight and maintained his current muscle mass he would be a scary looking dude. | ||

I wasn't too far from what Idra's benching now when I was in high school, but I stopped lifting for some reason (stupid choice looking back at it). The video really made me want to start up again. The video of the inside of the EG house was nice. Pretty nice setup they had going D'AWWWW, PUPPY! | ||

" I am benching just over 500lbs right now without having my shirt figured out. My top end strength is astronomical however where I am locking out over 700lbs on the racks. Once I figure out the shirt and work on the lower end strength (of a bench) I will be right in and around 700lbs." Yea pretty well known to the older members of TL :p. However Idra is surprising of course. GJ to him! | ||

As far as I can tell, in the United States, gyms use 35lb weights and not 30lb weights. Not sure if that is different in Canada. If he actually lost some weight and maintained his current muscle mass he would be a scary looking dude. He would be, but that's more of a fantasy than a realistic goal. The average person definitely has to carry extra weight in order to eat the calories necessary for that kind of muscle mass. If he tried to lose fat (by eating less calories), he would also lose strength. Personally, I would make the choice to slim down, but I bet its fun to throw around weight like that. | ||

Greg- Go down all the way. You MIGHT need to drop the weight a bit, but you might even see an increase in strength, and completing the range of motion will only serve to make you stronger. Bryce- Was that a bounce? I couldn't see for sure, which means it's not really a problem, but make sure you don't let it become a problem. Geoff- Only problem I see is how fast the bar is moving. Lift more weight son! Anna- Same as above. And for the record, my max is 240 | ||

I was happy with benching 85 kg but now I feel like I have to beat idra!! I would be very interested to see what these guys can manage to lift when doing dumbbell press(hantelpress for us Swedes) seeing as bench revolves a lot around technique when you start lifting more than 100 kgs. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

A slight arch you back is natural but looking at the video IdrAs back looks overly arched which can/will cause injury if he continues to lift that way. When I bench the arch in my back is only high enough to fit your hand under where as in the video it looks like you could fit 2 arms under IdrAs not trying to hate on your guys or anything just expressing a word of caution | ||

Geoff clearly is a powerlifter, maybe not competitively right now but he certainly was at one point. I'm pretty sure he'd be the first to point out to bad form to Greg if it was actually bad form. Look up and instructional videos on a powerlifting bench press. You want your back arched. It really is that simple. | ||

You're supposed to arch your back, I get no pain from it whatsoever even with a slipped disk from deadlifting a year ago. The only problem is his elbows are a bit flared and his feet probably aren't drawn back far enough, but Incontrol knows enough about lifting to point these things out. | ||

Btw, One can see when IdrA lifts his back is arched. That puts undue stress on spinal discs and will lead to hernia in the long term. What? Its not profoundly misleading whatsoever. The person in the photo is not "fat" and neither is Incontrol. Both are bulky. Most bodybuilders do in fact not have particularly strong core muscles because they often forego exercises like deadlifts due to widening of the obliques which takes away from a good v-taper. Powerlifters, like Incontrol, also focus on function and that often includes direct strengthening of areas like the core = leads to increased mass in that area = leads to a bulkier waist. Referencing some guy on youtube and beastskills.com doesn't help your credibility. Bench pressing never 'focuses anything in isolation', it's a compound movement so that makes no sense. And if you arch and use leg drive you are doing more weight, but the chest is still getting equal stimulation because either way it is being just as activated if not more so, only the introduction of your lats/leg drive/decreased ROM makes up for the weight beyond the norm. | ||

The only problem is his elbows are a bit flared and his feet probably aren't drawn back far enough, but Incontrol knows enough about lifting to point these things out. The point of benching is to not use your other body parts to get the weight up. People who roll on their upper back and arch their feet do it incorrectly. The people that do it best are the ones who tuck their knees into the air or the put their feet on the bench under their butt. | ||

No, those are complete idiots and you see them in the gym for three years benching 135 the entire time. If you bench 405 with a flat back and 445 with an arched back and leg drive during the 445 your chest and tris are still doing the 405 and going to failure either way and the leg drive/lat stimulation/decreased range of motion makes up for the 40 other pounds. It's the same amount of stimulation regardless, if not more due to having more weight placed on the muscles during the negative. Who are you to even say they're even doing it "incorrectly"? Incorrectly by what definition of the word? Because clearly they are going for one rep maxes and Incontrol at least is focused on powerlifting, and that is how every good powerlifter in the world benches (not "correctly" with 135 on the bar and their feet up on the bench). Anyway it's leg day and I'm off to the gym. Continue arguing if you must, while the EG guys continue to do the same thing because Incontrol knows what he's doing. | ||

Do you know what the point of having a small arch in the back while the buttocks and feet are planted during a bench press? Do you know the difference between that, and those who lift their buttocks and end up on their toes? | ||

That coupled with rigid Korean culture doesn't really lead to guys like them showing their emotions very well. I've read that PuMa is known for being very nervous at events, so I wouldn't be surprised if he's just a little more introverted that the average progamer. The EG guys seem like a pretty tight group of friends though, I'm hoping they can get PuMa to open up. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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). | ||

However, many of the comments regarding fitness are well.. poor advice at best. | ||

Its fairly difficult on finding information on how to gain weight rather then lose it.. I found it rather hilarious that this entire thread has been dominated by people arguing about bench press techniques etc, but I like it :D I used to be REALLY skinny, but since i've started working out( 16 months ago) i've gained around 25-28 kilos(55-61.6 pounds) and I'm now bench pressing 80-90 kilos, and lifting 32 kilos @ dumbbell press. For me it's been all about working out regulary, eating an adequate amount of the proper kind of food, and constantly pushing yourself. Set goals, how much do you want to be able to squat in 2 months, how many repetitions do you want to be able to perform while bench pressing X amount of weight? And lastly, work out with a good friend, preferably one who is equally motivated! ggl! | ||

Instead of eating 3 healthy meals increase it to 5. | ||

Geoff is around 16% bodyfat i would guess, anything less than 10% is ULTRA lean. I was at like 6% once when i was cutting weight for a bjj tournament and ill tell you.. theres no way you're healthy at that low of a % for any amount of time | ||

For those of you who havent already seen the videos, make sure to follow EG on twitter (@EvilGeniuses). I love the footage taken from inside the practice house, that place is a place worthy of such nerd ballers Who are you to decide what is threadworthy and what isnt? I swear every nerd on Teamliquid thinks everyone else wants to hear their opinion. You have no say on the matter so its best to enjoy the videos and keep your comments to yourself. Thanks, Everyone else | ||

In track, muscles move faster than fat (obviously) and alot of the fastest sprinters have a large amount of muscle on them. In football, muscle can impede the motion of the arms thus making muscles somewhat of a restraint for quarterbacks (see Peyton Manning versus that former Notre Dame QB that blows [i forget his name]). The working out helps to relieve stress and keep things in perspective for them, very healthy. PS, 435 is damn impressive. 255 is very respectable, and 205 is in the 200s so not bad. | ||

You would die at 1%. As said 3% is where Mr.O is at and you wont be able to sustain that for long periods of time only there during showtime. | ||

But then, my main motivation for working out is to be a better footballer, and not get muscled off the ball :D I can't imagine having too much stamina or being very quick or agile if I were Geoff's size, but who knows. | ||

I hope this article puts all your ignorant guesses to rest. Presenting a woman with basically 0% body fat. Very unfortunate but a surprising and inspiring story. http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/3033310/4st-Lizzie-eats-every-15-mins.html | ||

Yeah normal healthy people die at those low bodyfat percentages. Coming up with a single person with a genetic disorder that lives with extremely low body fat isn't a argument at all. Also that girl looks very weak and has already gone blind on one eye and was near death due to her blood not working properly. A stupid example. | ||

The pecs are pretty much useless and only makes up as a good meatshield, like the zealot (dat reference). Lemme see some squats!! Well lets be real here if the benchpress didn't matter, then sports team would never use this as a work out. I played 12 years of football and here in Northern California it is taken very seriously. Benchpress helps with a ton of stuff like the rip and pull technique, keeping the defenders hands off of you but most of all (if your a D or O linemen) then its VERY important for keeping a your opponent at a good distance. Oh yea lets not forget about when your first coming off the line, that first initial punch if you will to there chest is very important as well. Your chest is very important to build up strength (in football terms) cause it also adds to a good core which is also very important. I know when I played football the MAIN workouts were , benchpress, squats, Snatch and pulls (but modified so when u bring the bar up and hurry and squat under it catching it on your chest.) I actually to have a new found respect for Idra knowing he can bench 205 (which is most likely more then his body weight which is great!) FML Thats soooooo much for Incontrol I knew he was a power lifter just didn't know it was to this level. Machine got skillz to yo...very impressive My max bench before I stopped playing football was 300 flat that I only was able to max out twice so it was short lived =/ | ||
