He does seem to be very powerfully built for his weight but I wouldn't venture that his arm length is very long. From the top of the rep to his chest seems about nine or ten inches at most, whereas for me (a 74 Kg guy) a full rep travels much more than that as I have quite a long reach. Granted though, I couldn't handle 140Kg anything like your friend and dont know any guys around my size and weight who can.

His form is far from perfect, but most 79Kg guys wouldn't handle 140Kg without their arms shaking or giving way, so his strength is very impressive. Also sincere respect for your friend allowing himself to be filmed and posted on the net.............that takes guts! I challenged another guy about six months ago on this forum to prove his claimed bench press weight, but he wussed out!

Great post mate ...he is not very tall and he is just 79kg... ...i will ask him to next time jump on the scales in the gym and video it!
And all the rest of you swimmers can suck my dicks

That ......cross country runner, who's never worn......a pair of suspiciously short (and very homosexual) nylon side cut running shorts ....with one testicle hanging out ......while he ties up his new balance with one leg up on the changing room bench???

Im just making a small reply here, i dont know if anyone has sayed this, but the reason these guys bench this much is because they bench like powerlifters.

Arched back, wide grip and forcing your elbows to you body.
It has nothing to do with building muscle its a technique for juste benching more.
