yea, hold ur breath for the full 8 reps, and also hold for about 10 seconds before you start your first repOriginally Posted by FatisBAD
Holy ****. Strongest bencher in the world just gave me benching advice! Miscing has actually really helped me!
Thanks and I will take these things into account!
P.S: When you look down at the weight, I assume it activates your traps more? And also, what if you are doing a lot of reps, per-say 8...you wouldn't breath the whole set?
AND THANK YOU FOR ANSWERING MY QUESTION!You're da man!

Fuark me. If it were anyone other than you I'd call bs.Originally Posted by Scot Mendelson
If it's not something you mind discussing, would you be willing to talk more about "supplementing" in a PM or on your personal site? I don't want to start a shetstorm or anything like that. Just curious as to what someone at your elite level really takes.

I know I am not in Mendelson's league but for 8 reps I would probably do the first five on one breath then pause at the top, take another big breath and finish the last 3 reps.Originally Posted by Baseballer
It'd be like staying fat while running marathons because it's more impressive to finish a marathon when you're overweight. It might be impressive in the short run, but in the long run it just doesn't make any sense. ~breathinglife

C'mon guys, if you are hitting reps, hold your breath when you are exerting then you can get some air. Hitting eight reps you'l pass out without breathing. When I hit 5 rep board press, I do it on one breath thoughOriginally Posted by ShortDave
That is years of training

But if you are hitting say a full rom raw warm-up before you shirt up the weight is easily handled and you can keep your form tight and fast, why not hit them all on one breath?Originally Posted by Scot Mendelson

Thanks for taking time out of your day to answer our questions brother! Just a quick one.. when a person gains strength but no size, how can this be explained if the form/technique is the same?

do you have trouble typing because your fingers are too fat and stubby? (srs question)
The training is nothing, the will is everything. The will to act.

if a random person (that doesnt know who you are) asks(like most people asks big guys like yourself) how much can you bench, and you tell them 1100, whats theyre usual reaction, or do you tell them?

My experience shows that once you enter the real world (not high school, not a frosh in college, etc) people stop asking how much guys bench. That really does seem to largely be a high school thing. (outside of a gym setting)
