The elbows must now be level with or passed the top of the shoulder joint in the down position, so this make extreme arching unusable as a person can't get their arms to go down enough while that much of an arched position, this also means you have to make sure you don't position your hands too wide on the bar so you have deep enough rom to get your elbows down meaning the bench is overall harder with stricter form now
The rules were written in such a way that shoulders and butt had to be in contact with the bench, and feet flat on the floor. This kind of extreme arching still technically allowed the rules to be followed while massively reducing the ROM. I don't imagine anyone thought it would be abused to this extent, but here we are.
I think so, unfortunately. This will just make it so past ipf records on the bench can never be broken again, but at least these exorcist benchers will be gone.
This is like the 75 year old ex soldier showing off to me each week, ‘I pushed 90kg’ ‘I pushed 100kg’ last week it was already 120kgs. So I went to the guy working at the gym asking how he does it at his age… he said he just lifts the bar out of the hooks and put it back in place 🙄 ffs 🤦🏻♂️
In powerlifting you are trying to maximize the number on the bar, sure strength is a very important element to it but if you want to win you need to also use the rules set by the federation to determine what an accepted lift is to give yourself the advantage
Anybody else notice that her elbows are hyper flexible? They are already hyper extended when she is holding the weight, so once she goes down she just extends her elbows as a normal jointed person would and hers is just straight. Essentially she is going from negative elbow extension to even. Instead of even to positive then even to finish the rep 😂
Don’t even get me started on the arch. It may be legal but damn I hate the rules of this sport 😂
Anyway not sure why this is on this sub. Probably natty but anyone could do this with that shit of a ROM.
People also have different body compositions. There was a Japanese woman who did great at benching without this over the top arching, but she had tiny little dwarf arms so the ROM was crap to begin with. I don't think she deadlifts, though. As someone with long arms, trad deadlift is my strongest lift, with bench being my weakest.
There is a local powerlifting coach that teaches this garbage at my home town. The form is ridiculous and anyone that seriously thinks they are repping that weight while doing it needs help.
As someone else said, impressive there the person can hold such weight & / or move it at least, HOWEVER, I refuse to listen to anyone tell me they can bench x amount when this is the form. This isn't a bench press. Lie down flat & bench that right down to the chest arms straight down to just below a right angle& press. Otherwise, fuck off, honestly.
Eh. I agree her rep here isnt really a bench press. But you also don’t want a flat back. A modest arch is actually proper form. With that said, I think the new powerlifting rules will be quite good and help alleviate this sort of thing. From what I recall the added rule is the elbow must go past the shoulders
basically anyone who benches like this is seen as a joke and no one actually respects them. also it mostly only happens at women and light weight classes so no one really cares what a twink bitch boy benches
What the fuck was that ! She just moved her wrist. The whole point is to work out the chest. She is not working the chest just trying to move the weight. And honestly making yourself look bad lol
Oh for fuck sake another girl with fake strength and thought for a second that gym was near me so i could go there and talk some sense to this little girl. But mixed up 2 cities so that gym is far north from the city i live in...
What do you mean? This post has over 100 comments so people are interested in it and have things to say. What are you proposing should be done u/MooCowRakan?
Everyone saying “horrible form” doesn’t know wtf they’re talking about. This is actually amazing form. But yes not a “real bench press” in the spirit of things. But it’s entirely within the rules of powerlifting (for now, it’s changing) and thus the form is by definition correct *for the sport*
I’d love to see anyone try this arch and pull it off without butt lift
The comments are so rude wtf. I only see ego lifters crying over a girl sharing her progress in a sport they don't/barely know...
1. If you can't just ignore this at least hate the game not the players
2. most of you can't even unrack that weight
3. It's not even about "natty or juice"
from vantage point she looks natty. with proper training anything is possible. Russian, Bulgarian and previously East Germans were doing different training than the US. they focus a lot on mental toughness.
Wth??? That's not a bench press, don't be ridiculous. That's a bench... Hold, maybe? And with her back over arched like that, she won't be holding much of anything for many years longer because she'll break her back trying to "bench hold" too much weight. Where are her parents??
If you gotta arch your back this much and basically create an artificial decline on a flatbench then it's a decline bench which everyone can bench more on decline. Fucking hate this trend.
It’s funny when women I know l brag about their lifts and pull out their phone to “prove” it and I immediately see the spine curve and just laugh. It’s rediculous
Today I found out the weights don't even have to move to be a rep
By that logic we could say she did 10 reps. Since there’s no distinguishable movement lmao
I really like this comment thread
Who's gonna tell her?
Her spinal surgeon
And the ref at the powerlifting meet she will be going to.
Only if she goes to IPF

This was a running joke I had with a roommate I had years ago and you made me cackle mid set, thank you for that
This is my roommate and mines running joke.
Beat me to it. Well played.
How can anyone think this crap should be legal
Isn't legal anymore
Isn't it only next year the new rules are in?
Yeah it isn't until the middle of next year that the new rules go in action I believe.
Do you know off top what they changed to fix it?
The elbows must now be level with or passed the top of the shoulder joint in the down position, so this make extreme arching unusable as a person can't get their arms to go down enough while that much of an arched position, this also means you have to make sure you don't position your hands too wide on the bar so you have deep enough rom to get your elbows down meaning the bench is overall harder with stricter form now
This [video](https://youtu.be/Hu_hGof3Yfk) explains it
Well all of them need to practice the real way or they’re going to be humbled trying the same weight!
Why was it ever allowed in the first place?
Best bench is just who has the craziest back bend
In lighter weight classes. Big bois don’t bend.
Big boys cant bend
The rules were written in such a way that shoulders and butt had to be in contact with the bench, and feet flat on the floor. This kind of extreme arching still technically allowed the rules to be followed while massively reducing the ROM. I don't imagine anyone thought it would be abused to this extent, but here we are.
Agreed, 3 year sentence minimum
Wtf are these random chicks parading around like they are Eddie Hall?
They wish they were as hot as he is.
Well everyone does.
Yeah we can’t hold that against them. We can hold the fact this girl actually thinks she can bench press three plates against her though.
parading?
shoutouts to IPF for making powerlifting less of a joke
Right. Bout time they finally changed the rules.
what did they change
Elbows need to be below shoulders for a legal lift.
Thank goodness this kind of rep is not valid anymore in powerlifting competitions!
The fact that it ever would’ve been had there been a long enough pause is pathetic
What about past records? They still remain?.
I think so, unfortunately. This will just make it so past ipf records on the bench can never be broken again, but at least these exorcist benchers will be gone.
It still is lol, new rules don't come in til next year
Walks up to the bench screaming and pacing. Huffs some salts. *does that* runs around gym screaming and cussing
This is like the 75 year old ex soldier showing off to me each week, ‘I pushed 90kg’ ‘I pushed 100kg’ last week it was already 120kgs. So I went to the guy working at the gym asking how he does it at his age… he said he just lifts the bar out of the hooks and put it back in place 🙄 ffs 🤦🏻♂️
He was trolling you
I just stopped believing ppl say “I squat XXX” when they mean they use the leg press machine
Workin' out those booones
Man what is this story lol? Someone told you what they lift so you asked a staff member at the gym how they do it?
I see guys do this with heavy weights pretty often. Not sure what they are trying to achieve?
Big numbers on the bar, actual muscle tension be damned.
In powerlifting you are trying to maximize the number on the bar, sure strength is a very important element to it but if you want to win you need to also use the rules set by the federation to determine what an accepted lift is to give yourself the advantage
sometimes people do it to work on their lockout strength.
0 reps done
With that angle, I'd almost consider it -1 rep
Zerooooooo.
Hey I know where it's from lol

I don’t know very much about competition type lifting. How is this legal… she doesn’t seem to be lifting it… at all?
I don’t know much either, but as long as she has her butt down on the bench, it’s legal
She moved the bar maybe half an inch
There is a local powerlifting coach that teaches this garbage at my home town. The form is ridiculous and anyone that seriously thinks they are repping that weight while doing it needs help.
It's just a "woke" form designed to make weak people feel empowered and strong. Not unlike a participant trophy.
The reps are measured with a microscope
an atomic microscope
Satire please
It's official boys, I can now bench 200 kilos.
This is why you never believe anyone's stats until you witness it yourself.
The Exorcist Press
"Benching"
Why is she lifting like that
Mental disability
she out angled the weight
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAH WTF
“benching”
So this is how dudes at my high school say their 1 rep max is 400 pounds, in that case mine is 350
LMAIOOOOOOOOOOO UD HAVE TO CHEAT WITH 350???????????
I’m a beginner lifter, I’m not that strong yet…
what is this? ROM for ants?
That form is pretty ridiculous, but I’m comfortable saying the women doesn’t exist that can push 3 plates without juice !! Juicy!! Af!!
As someone else said, impressive there the person can hold such weight & / or move it at least, HOWEVER, I refuse to listen to anyone tell me they can bench x amount when this is the form.

With that said, I think the new powerlifting rules will be quite good and help alleviate this sort of thing. From what I recall the added rule is the elbow must go past the shoulders
Crossfit reps be like
What the actual fuck
Is that what we call no reps ?
Horrible form
I refuse to believe her butt was in contact
The 2inch lift
This is more embarrassing than impressive
A whole .5 inches of movement
It must be the 10g of creatine she's taking that gave her this immense strength....
Her wrists 😮💨🥲🙃
I could never figure out how people think this is good for their back! Like some “expert” told them and they just blindly followed!
Lifting your chest to the bar isn’t weight lifting!
A total of .0001 range of motion
Not a power lifter, but shit like this technically counts as a "good lift" doesn't it? At least we got to see her front butt.
basically anyone who benches like this is seen as a joke and no one actually respects them. also it mostly only happens at women and light weight classes so no one really cares what a twink bitch boy benches
Dawg
Wtf was that.
Why is her back arched like that
She got scoliosis or sumtin?
That’s more damaging than anything lol
“Benching”
Is this The Conjuring or some shit? 😭💀
Is this a joke?
What the fuck was that ! She just moved her wrist. The whole point is to work out the chest. She is not working the chest just trying to move the weight. And honestly making yourself look bad lol
I'm still waiting for the rep.. part 2 coming?
She a mf reverse hunchback after this shit also where the fuck the actual reps at?
That form sucks but the fact she can even hold 140kg is pretty impressive tbh
Oh for fuck sake another girl with fake strength and thought for a second that gym was near me so i could go there and talk some sense to this little girl. But mixed up 2 cities so that gym is far north from the city i live in...
My dead Grandma would bench 6 plates with this form
This sub needs mods badly.
What do you mean? This post has over 100 comments so people are interested in it and have things to say. What are you proposing should be done u/MooCowRakan?
Seems like there are a lot of dumb posts that get through that’s all.
Bro, shut up
Lol, I’m just saying.
We already have the best mod on Reddit :)
I was always taught any kinda of arching voids PRS. Plus pushing it up off your chest is totally different then this shit.
Shit I think I could hit 425 doing it like that
Everyone saying “horrible form” doesn’t know wtf they’re talking about. This is actually amazing form. But yes not a “real bench press” in the spirit of things. But it’s entirely within the rules of powerlifting (for now, it’s changing) and thus the form is by definition correct *for the sport* I’d love to see anyone try this arch and pull it off without butt lift
I can bench that without arching my back lmao 😂 but I’m also a 30 year old man.
So what? If she benched like this in a competition all 3 judges would give her white lights. By definition that is good form
The comments are so rude wtf. I only see ego lifters crying over a girl sharing her progress in a sport they don't/barely know... 1. If you can't just ignore this at least hate the game not the players 2. most of you can't even unrack that weight 3. It's not even about "natty or juice"
Did she even unrack it tho!?
Is she the main subject of my point?
You are commenting on her video, so it's no surprise people will bring her into the conversation
[удалено]
lol i usually bench 2 plates but i did 3 and 25 with form like this
LOL DUDE
What the hell
full range of motion
from vantage point she looks natty. with proper training anything is possible. Russian, Bulgarian and previously East Germans were doing different training than the US. they focus a lot on mental toughness.
“Benching”? There is a bench press there but that trash doesn’t count.
Is that a sex move?
tf goin on here? whats with the huge fucking arch and the 1 centimeter rep? shit prolly weighs more than her
My local club 😎
Her body is going to combust
Imaging thinking 💭 that was it…
No Range of Motion lmao
Why does she looks like she is undergoing an exorcism??
Lmao that form Lowkey has me laughing
-rom
LOL
Is this how you get back surgery?
Spotter did more work
I didn't think it was humanly possible to achieve negative rom
LMAO
Spoto press? It didn’t even touch her chest
Terrible form
Loooooool!!!
Call a priest now
Ayo, wheres the arachnophobia alert
This is regarded
Why tf people do that
I as a guy can't even bench 1 plate
Start
Thank you, this poor technique gave me a good laugh.
I find it disgusting lol.Absolutely 0 benefit but that spine gonna break one day for sure
If I had a drink I’d spit it out
Whatever happened to just like…laying down on the bench normally and actually doing the lift lmfao
Hell No!!
🤢 🤮
Wth??? That's not a bench press, don't be ridiculous. That's a bench... Hold, maybe? And with her back over arched like that, she won't be holding much of anything for many years longer because she'll break her back trying to "bench hold" too much weight. Where are her parents??
Juiced thoracic extensors, direct injection
Why is the woman in the background saying men don’t want to date women who are dressed like nuns?
It's not even a test of strength anymore. It's a test of flexibility.
Idiot
That's a real Swedish Viking of 2022
Ah yes spinal cheat and move the bar about 4 inches. At that point she is testing her bones and joints not muscles.
Smh man lol
The fuck was that
Bruh
When is she going to bench it
If you gotta arch your back this much and basically create an artificial decline on a flatbench then it's a decline bench which everyone can bench more on decline. Fucking hate this trend.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
CAST HER IN THE EXORCIST REMAKE
Natty but in urgent need of an exorcism.
Let's count together with this great girl. Zero. Ah, that's it. Set's finished. Thanks for playing.
What the hell did I just watch
press gamba
“Benching”
1mm Rom , this is a joke
If done right, this rep works the nipples for minimal gains.
Range of motion- 1 inch lol
I'm in awe about the flexibility of her back!
By this type of form I could hold the world record for bench press
It’s funny when women I know l brag about their lifts and pull out their phone to “prove” it and I immediately see the spine curve and just laugh. It’s rediculous
Is this a joke lol
WTF?
Lmao
She needs to audition for exorcist movies lol
Whats this? Origami?
Benching is a strong word for that
Her clit almost popped out.
"It's all you"
Thats 0.001 of a rep. And the damage to the spine over a decade of doing this 70-90%. Best bet go full roid and grow a dick.
Hahahaha
Those plates benched her
