>A harrowing, 29-second video on several news sites, including Malaysia’s China Press, showed the man, identified only as Mr Zhang, struggling to bench press over 100kg inside a gym in Wuhan, in China’s Hubei province, without a spotter at around 3pm on Thursday.
RIP Mr Zhang

>Dying by a lmao2plate bench
Damn fricking sucks, what an shitty way to die with such embarrassing weight, hope his soul rests in peace.
its 275 lbs unless im missing something.
it might even be 295 lbs - 45x4, 35x2, plus bar
That’s obviously not the photo of the dead guy or the photographer would have helped him…
I think I saw this video on IST yesterday before I saw the news article on reddit today. I recognized the pic right away. I think it is a startionary camera. Very tragic incident.
oldschool bodybuilders used to hit higher on the chest for a better stretch, probably not worth the shoulder risk, but it's not like powerlifting is the only or even close to most correct way to lift.
Post bench (you wont)
What soul?
>What an shitty
He died literate, you live illiterate. RIP (You).
looks like 2.5pl8, but your point still stands
Post video
Cant you just do pushups with weight vests?
>Cant you just do pushups with weight vests?
Sure, if you want to be an enteral DYEL
Why tho, if you weigh 80kg and add a 20kg weight vest, that is 100kg right there
>Why tho, if you weigh 80kg and add a 20kg weight vest, that is 100kg right there
You don't press your entire bodyweight with a pushup
>He can't do planche pushup
DYEL?
Depending on your body (maybe you have really thick legs, idk) and how far forward you lean, you're pushing 60-70% of bodyweight.
I don't know exactly how much a weighted vest affects this, but I'm guessing because it's weight on your torso that you're adding 70-80% of the weight of the vest.
You can test this experimentally with very little effort! Just do pushups with your hands on a weighing scales, and make a note of the load at the top & bottom of the movement.
I do the same but I use my bodyweight in feathers to reduce fatigue
>If you want to be eternal DYEL
This kind of attitude is how powershitters end up loosing their life.
Or better yet, get in a decline position and use resistance band. Add parellets for maximum rom.
>dying to lmao2pl8
Asian """"""men""""""
This is why I don't do bench press. I'm 45 kgs and can't lift the bar - there's no safe starting point.
are you a girl or trolling? either way, just like with many people not being able to OHP the bar starting out, begin with dumbells
Do pushups, pivot on your knee, not your foot.
>Do pushups
Really?
>join non shit gym that has benches with safety
>actually set the safeties
>leave clips off if you fail the above
>ask anyone for a spot
he killed himself

Let me bench press you baby, then we can plap in the shower.
Listen here little baby. You're gonna get a lot of hurtful and degrading comments, but that ain't what I'm about. Let me just say, you are perfect the way you are. You hear me sugar? PERFECT. Don't ever change. You deserve anything and everything you want. Stay safe for me, baby girl.
>mfw thinking of you hurting
Bro there are safeties and the roll of shame
You would have to have the physique of that goth anorexic internet chick to have the bar be a genuine threat to your life
do dumbbell bench press and work up to 20kg, you should get there soon enough if you dont have health issues.
pls be in SAN BERNADINO
>I'm 45 kgs
>I'm 45 kgs
How? That's literal starvation tier, you should first start eating and doing bodyweight excercises.
Someone in another thread said he didnt die. They lied. Damn.
This was more brutal than the squat death. I couldn't watch more than a few seconds
Reminder when beching alone never ever use collars. Frick what anyone says.
Don't place the bar at your neck, ez
I would not even use collars when not alone.
>same happened to Simu Liu
Why do these dumbfricks don't bring the barbell below the nipple/chest line/ above the upper abs. Only beginner don't how the barbell path on the bench press works.
Why do you need to know how to bench if you can just push your butt up some more ? lmao
Why are these chinks all getting killed by 2pl8's?
He has to just be tired from his workout, idk why take a video though
Ryan Gosling can do double that with no spotter
>doing bp
>oh better lock these safety things
>click, click
>there, that took 10 seconds
>now even if I dropped it, I'll be perfectly safe
>feels great to have an iq over 90
i suicide grip and i dropped 2 plates one time would dropped right on my neck thank you safties
>not actually alone
>in a commercial gym early in the afternoon
>they let him die
most Chinese thing, along with
>rack looks like its a cage
>no way to set safeties
also very Chinese to copy that and leave behind the most important function, which is why it's a cage to begin with and not a half rack
I'm honestly shocked anyone would dare us a gym in China. It must be packed full of people + dubious safety measures on everything.
>>not actually alone
>>in a commercial gym early in the afternoon
>>they let him die
>most Chinese thing
>laws make you liable for his care if you try to help and he survives, vs no responsibility if you mind your own business
agents respond to incentives
>Chink squashed like the bug he was
I'm not seeing how this was newsworthy, OP.
>can't bench yuuka
Skill issue
Onwards to Gymvahalla
>two plates
at least get the weight correct, you Black folk. im triggered by that one guy who keeps saying this is 2plate
Sounds like more of a "you" problem.
why are you moronic, my guy. correct me if im wrong, but i see 2x 45s and 1 35 per side. plus bar that is 295 lbs.
Oh I just meant the triggering part my dood
im triggered over the incorrect estimation of the weight, yes
Do you think it will make the difference for him going to Valhalla or not? I can see getting there for failing just under 300 lbs but 2pl8...
>going to Valhalla
>after dying
>due to being moronic
lol
One guy in the sagas lifted a 1000 lbs log over his shoulder, carried it for w few steps and died after. Pretty sure he made it.
Yeah, I'm thinking it's over.
>die benching 300 lbs
>media misrepresents your PR attempt and says it's a mere 2pl8
he's turning in his grave
Nobody talking about his form. You save the arch for when you are in trouble, not for your normal reps.
Post bench or body.
The starting arch is power lifting form. Less rom lets you pretend you actually did something.
>Wuhan
Another tragic Covid-19 victim
OOOOOOH NO IT BAR PITTU!
W-would lifting have saved him?
Lifting the weight would literally have saved him, yes.
Sucks to suck
No one ever accused influencers of being too smart
Maybe the world will stop turning since he died or something otherwise why the frick are you dipshits whining about it
Oh wait
Unironically his problem was the complete lack of leg drive
>bench starts, ass in the air in an absurd arc
>you can see him start to struggle, butt falls and plants on the bench
It's some cargo cult shit, no kinesthetic awareness, just watched some youtube influencers bench pressing and copied them. If he knew how to drive his feet forward and work some leg stability he'd be alive today.
>F
feels thread?
I thought wagmi
see dat homie !?
>zoomers streaming their own death for likes
>29-second video
The one I saw is almost one minute of him under the bar.
bench is the only lift where you always wanna leave on in the tank no matter what, ive been pinned under way less when i was starting and had to cry out for dudes to help
normally you just get stuck tho, not crushed. wonder why no one helped the guy but then again its china, so
>29 second video
that's hilarious, that means sites reposted the webm from here. the video is over 2 minutes 30 long
Steroids would have saved him Rest in dyel hell
Once again no safeties.
Why Chinese are cursed to walk earth to die in the most simple yet gruesome ways?
It seems like you could kill a Chinese if you blow air onto them hard enough.
>i would rather die than use the safety pins that the gym puts on the rack
*logical thinking intensifies*
It's based. Don't give yourself an out. Either you succeed or die.
For me, it's incline bench press or incline dumbbell bench press
Grim. I used to do bench (and decline bench kek) to near failure without a spotter, no safeties, and with clips on the bar. It definitely seems pretty stupid now that I know better. But I've also practiced the roll of shame a few times.
If you work with sub 2pl8 babby weights you never need a spotter, just don't put the clips on like a moron. Dumping the bar is quick, safe and easy. I go to failure basically every workout, sometimes multiple times.
Gyms don't have these in commie europe. Probably don't have it in even more thirdie places either.
>he doesn't bench in the squat rack
NGMI
>arches back
>ego lifts
Well deserved. Remeber kids, if you fail at benching just drop it on your chest and roll it to your hips. I never understood how you can hurt yourself benching or squatting.
why are rice clits so weak
He died a ISTizen's death. Most of you homosexuals don't have the balls to try what he did. Safety this and spotter that... And that's why no one will remember your name.
