reverse grip bench

[DAVIDHARDY]

I like to do it. It's not a staple, but when I get tired of the same old same old, I'll do them and it def burns the hell out of my upper pecks...but my wrists do suffer!

[Steve56]

I cant even go down with the bar without it feeling like my wrists/forearms are gonna explode

Everyone had different bio mechanics, for me i feel no pain or discomfort at all just a great burn and stretch in my triceps..try it on the smith!

[Northman]

If you have short forearms, it hurts the wrists alot.

[DICE]

reverse bench is an awesome exercise. You might need to slide up the bench a little for it to feel right. Get the movement down on the smith first.

anthony clark have done 750+ pounds pretty easy

and 595 easy raw

Yeah, but David Paul weighed half a s much as Anthony Clark. And DP's lifted were always raw.

thats a bit of an exaggeration, David was probably 250-260 and Anthony was around 330-340 most of the time.

anthony in his prime was 350 and he stood 5ft7 the barbarian brothers are over 6ft tall so ya. 5ft7 350 is basically double 250 when your that short.

no it isn't....John said he weighed half as much as Anthony and that's not even close, i don't care how tall you are weight is weight.

agree to disagree john didnt mean literally half his weight just looks half his weight. 350 at 5ft7 is gona look twice the weight of sum1 at 250 6ft1.

i don't even think he LOOKED twice his weight, first of all David paul was nowhere near 6'1" more like 5'10' AND and i gauantee you if they stood next to each other their UPPER BODY width and muscle thickness would be comparable, Anthony's legs were MUCH bigger from being almost a 1,000 pound squatter and obviously his stomach was much bigger.

haha u kiding me anthony clarkkkkkkkkk wus hugeeeeee i met him twice

haha u kiding me anthony clarkkkkkkkkk wus hugeeeeee i met him twice

as i said in my post THEIR UPPER BODIES were close in muscular size and strength....if you look at it their RAW bench presses were probably similar, Anthony could probably handle 600-620 RAW and David could probably get 550 on a good day, find a pic of David at his biggest when he was maybe 270 or so and i'll gaurantee you their upper body thickness is pretty comparable, where Anthony killed David on size was the legs and stomach.

[xerox]

look at their upper body thickness in this shot, if Anthony was the same bf% he wouldn't be any bigger in the upper body.

I saw Clark lift at a meet back around 85 or 86.Squatted about 1000 and benched a little over 600 he couldn`t deadlift much.He was stout as Hell but looked like he was about to explode if that makes any sense.

thats because shory stocky guys cant bend over far to grab the bar and their hands are too thick and stubby to grip anything.
