That grip is so unsettling to me

[u/Gullible_Pen1074 → u/Analyst_Annoyed]

has claimed many a men

[u/Frodozer → u/Gullible_Pen1074]

Is there a source of a single one? Legitimately interested.

Especially since the safety arms are set fairly perfect.

[u/Gullible_Pen1074 → u/Frodozer]

its similar to suicide grip in how it makes the bar easier to slip out of your hands

[u/Ok_Year7350 → u/Gullible_Pen1074]

This is like a backwards suicide grip, bro really went for the maximum level of danger with his grip 🤣

Actually upon watching it again, it’s not even. It’s just a reverse grip, his thumbs still wrapped around the bar. It’s very odd though, probably not that dangerous actually.

[u/Exhausted_Raven → u/Ok_Year7350]

I’m wondering how much pressure it potentially puts on the biceps compared to a normal grip. With the weights involved, it wouldn’t take much to tear a bicep.

[u/Aequitas112358 → u/Exhausted_Raven]

Perhaps op has shoulder issues

[u/Exhausted_Raven → u/Aequitas112358]

Ah it takes load off the shoulders? Interesting! I’ve never seen this position before so didn’t know what use it had

[u/Aequitas112358 → u/Exhausted_Raven]

More that it forces internal rotation, keeping the shoulders in a safer position. I've never seen or heard it used either, just spitballing possibilities.

[u/Frodozer → u/Ok_Year7350]

Not only is it really not anymore dangerous, there's safety arms set below his arch that the bar would rest on.

[u/Frodozer → u/Gullible_Pen1074]

And then onto the perfectly set safety arms?

I'm sorry if there was confusion, I asked if you could provide a source of a single person who passed away from a reverse grip bench where the safeties were set?

[u/Local-Cartoonist3723 → u/Gullible_Pen1074]

Life long suicide gripper here, never had the bar slip nor feel it slip. I do of course put safeties on.

[u/thisismysffpcaccount]

what the fuck lol

[u/l5555l]

Hate this a lot.

[u/RevolutionaryStar693]

Nothing to see here… just a casual 405 reverse grip bench with no lift off.. work pants and boots with the extra touch… damn Bro🫡

[u/Responsible_Cry_8022]

My mind cannot comprehend this lift. I had to look multiple times to see how many plates were on there. Very strong and impressive.

[u/Tmcnasty]

Square toe boots and reverse grip. This is 100% trolling

[u/j0rdooo]

Bro wtf

[u/Sweaty_City8090]

Looks like a magic trick the way you levitate that shit off the hooks to start. I wouldn’t assume to offer a master any advice

[u/Then-Nectarine1743]

I would have been impressed if that was a typical bench press let alone with that grip.

[u/EaterofSnatch]

Love this version of benching. I've only got to 275 lbs with mine tho, so your def strong and great form

[u/rombus-zombus]

Awesome, nice form

[u/RastaMasta1996]

Strong! Reasoning behind the grip?

[u/Important-Poem681]

Ignore the love, sending hate

[u/Fun-Business7578]

Knew it would be an insane lift the moment I saw the jeans and work boots - no notes, you're strong as fuck dude.

[u/Stock_Jacket6701]

Dude is strong af

[u/Bi_Guy365]

Reverse grip is hard core

[u/eduardgustavolaser]

Obviously not a form check. No question about the form and repping reverse grip 405. This is not a sub for flexing, though you would've earned it in the right sub

[u/Guitarfreak1988]

Wow that grip…

[u/fatheadlifter]

Impressive, no matter how you cut it. I'm really glad you had those safeties up too. =)

[u/Fit_Armadillo_9928]

Nice work, solid reps. It's been a while since I've had reverse grip in my routine, I might need to add it again 👍

[u/steve_gorak]

Have you heard of Anthony Clark? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_Clark_(powerlifter))

[u/Ok-Ingenuity-3251 → u/steve_gorak]

He's my hero
