I agree. Looks can be deceiving.. BUT.. Some of the people on this board that say they put up that weight I guarantee NEVER have.
Anyone who has developed that sort of strength has a good amount of muscle mass. Some of the people who have these big claims, I've seen at meets and they are scrawny as hell.
You should probably post your routine and a video. LOL

Sub 200lbs dudes are usually the ones doing the 3~6 plates this way too...lol
I myself never max out or do flat bench at all.
I do workout with 225 for 10~15 reps on the incline for 4 sets.
+1
Everytime I'm at the gym I see at least 2 guys doing it.. The infamous: "elbow bend technique"
175lb dude.. 275lb on bench for 10 elbow bend reps. LOL

100% agree, I was just telling a dude today about that. He does some weird 1/2 way down thing on bench and military press. He was saying his way is why he was stronger than me....lol.

That is my biggest pet-pieve. People load up the bench with 315 and I have seen up to 6 plates on each side done the same way, but worse.
Half way or 2in down then back up, yes that ridiculous.
Then with a spotter in the middle and two on the sides they all 4 rep out one or two reps. lol
Benching all the way down is a must.

Also people the do this and have their grip so that they are essentially working tris irritate me too..lol. I have my grip so my forearms essentially stay perpendicular to the floor. And I have long arms so that is sometimes near the returns.

im at about 300lbs(bouncing the bar off the chest with momentum helping and arms bent at the end of the upward motion)
with proper technique im at 1/2 of that but cuz i like to boast big numbers, i choose to go w/ the 1st technique. feels good to know im pumping big numbers.
