@parmesan_1717: Replying to @Elijah Prince645 do we agree? Disagree? Will I get hate comments from teenage boys? Tune in to find out. #gains #benchpress #powerlifting #competition #competitionbench #commands #form #benchform

Christopher Hughes :

Serious question. Where do you get your oversized marvel graphic tees from?

Jultepod :

I can do 295 in comp but just regular gym bench it’s 315. That pause is brutal if you’ve never trained for it 😭🤣

Limitless Strength :

It’s so much easier for me in comp the pure adrenaline I get at a meet is unmatched

Mr. Frodo 🇨🇦🇳🇱 :

100% agree, when I signed up my first competition I didn't know about the commands. My bench dropped 30lbs instantly.

Roberto Rodriguez :

hey I have that ripple coffee cup lol.

38speshal :

I always feel like it’s easier on the platform. Only thing that feels harder on the platform is squat. I’ve added 100 pounds to my bench and deadlift but squat still the same

Vanhugendong :

I press 365 in the gym and still managed to hit 355 in a comp, but you're totally right. In a comp it's basically a pause rep, it's gnarly and most people don't train with that kind of tempo.

Mr.A :

paused sets helps

Andrew Tice :

agreed. the commands throw everything off unless you are training with them and using the perfect form. your gym pr and your comp pr are two very different lifts.

Mikerz :

I do terrible, I lose 10-15% in competition

Sam :

I train to comp standards, so I feel like it’s easier on the platform, with all that good rest 🤪

Guyverfit :

For every bench press workout, I pause at every rep for atleast a second. Man do my numbers suck but I’m getting mentally prepared for those bench commands.

robomann72 :

I always practiced it with camands. I had a great mentor and great workout partners. I hit a new PR at every meet I competed in for 3 years in a row.

NotMilesMorales :

I once had a head judge give me an 8 second pause, I rewatched the livestream and counted

Madison McCollum :

That’s an UTTERLY adorable cup 😜

Under Pressure Art :

Don’t threaten me with a good time 😅

Hannah Bello :

I just bombed my meet this weekend due to bench. I lost my national record squat and I’m piiiiissed

DevBurd :

Bench press in a meet is the hardest because of so many command.

Bradford Winston Hall :

chaotic.Grizzly :

"Train how you fight," no?

Damnedking :

Sumo vs conventional need to be in seperate divisions for full power. doing deadlift only both are vs. but about your bench topic I agree. I have a hard time hearing the commands due to the brace and pressing. I always get dizzy lol and almost pass out lol 😆 😅 then my hearing comes back 🤣 I almost die e every time. 💪💀🔥

Ricky. :

Yep
