form was kinda strange.. as the bar went down, it went forward alot towards his stomach... great lift tho!

I noticed that....but alot of powerlifters actually touch their upper stomachs.

Yeah, must be real tough when your arms are so damn short, all you have to do is lift the bar 4 inches for a rep, plus have a 90 degree arch in your back!

I will be the first to say I can't bench half that weight. I see no reason to disrespect this man. It's a raw lift if I'm not mistaken....which makes it an INCREDIBLE lift.

Dissing the guy?? I have been to bench meets with my husband Bighump, and all of the "studio" benchers have terrible arch and do the "belly" bench! That looks ugly as sin to me is all. The guys that have their shoulder blades on the bench and butt on the bench and they still had big benches w/o having ugly form. That isn't a bench IN MY OWN OPINION IS ALL!! Whether it is raw or assisted doesn't matter to me, I figure that if they are going to do a power lift such as the bench, they should have the proper form and do it w/o doing it in 4inches is all! Yes it is legal, but to me it just looks and feels like cheating to me is all.

there is no need for u to get so riled up. relax. i havent read ur post properly (ill do so later) and right now ur way too excited. BH isnt even someone i respect so u might not want to thrust that in my face. and the bench isnt cheating at all. if u have really in actuality been to bench meets u would know otherwise.
