Would be awesome if you guys can check this guy out

So one of my good friends has just started off on YouTube, he's 18 and an aspiring powerlifter. His lifts are insane right now for his age. Would be awesome if you bros could give his videos a watch and better yet, even like/sub to him. He's just getting started, so views/likes/subs or even just a comment would help him get going.




You can comment/PM him on YouTube for advice, he really does know his stuff.

Thanks!

 

kids a beast

 

So arching back that much = good?

 

The arch in his back is standard for powerlifters looking to maximize their results when bench pressing.

 

Yeah, it's a bench equivalent to balancing, really. Lets you put on a bit more weight while not taking a whole bunch of the load from your chest.

 

Lol I've never watched a powerlifter vid, they use caffeine pills for preworkout..?? Seems...k

 

I lol'd at the caffeine but his benching more than anyone in my Gym, nice work.

 

that form is powerlifting, youtube 12 year old chick benches 240lbs. she does this. but that kid is strong.

 

Caffeine pills or coffee is a hell of a lot cheaper than pre workout. I bought a 100 tabs of 200mg caffeine pills a year ago for 4$ and I'm still using them.

 

Definitely, has pretty much the same effect.

Nice lifts tho!

 

Looks line an alien doing the arch thing

 

Thanks for the reply guys, means a lot to him.

 

Caffeine is definitely known to be beneficial during physical activity.

But anyways I don't like workout videos involving being able to lift heavy stuff because FOR ME (obviously people enjoy this) being able to lift something heavy doesn't impress me. Not saying it's not impressive being strong, but lifting heavy stuff does not impress me. I'm much more impressed by stuff like boxing etc, exciting stuff, and I hate to be a hater but to me if you make videos of you lifting weights other than for instructional purpose you might as well be picking up a rock because to me that would be more interesting. And I can't judge it as an instructional video because I don't need it as i'm happy with my current workout routine.

Anyway it's still good. I support anybody making a run at something they like and can't judge them for it. I know there are people that would enjoy this content.

Just my opinion still gave it a go. Dude's strong as fuck and goes hard.

 

My whole football team(with the exception of the kicker soccer player LMFAO) benches at least 225lbs but with him doing 100 reps earlier i know he was fatigued. good potential, strong and young. good work.

 

Kid is a beast, I focus more on form than weight.

 

Tell your friend to widen his grip so his elbows dont go below the bench, also either tuck in his feet higher or further away so his knees get under his hips for more leg thrust in your presses.

And tell him gl powerlifting

Ps: i just noticed him pulling up his head, tell him to tighten himself up and imagine pushing himself away from the bar instead of pushing the bar away from you

 

Great lifts, form is not too bad it will come with more experience and age !

Keep it up he's going to be an animal

 

Bookmarked this thread to come back to it when I have more time.

Will definitely give it a view though, cheers.
