16-Year-Old Janik Velgos Benches 340kg for an Unofficial World

What could he do in a tank top with feet flat on the ground and back on the bench?

I know it's a lot of weight but it looks like shit watching it.

That being said, I can't do it.
 
What...benching improperly? Who cares.
Lol, sorry man, pet peeve.

I busted my ass for ever all natural to get a sloppy 405, and a very clean 385.

I'm TRT now but I'm old so it's ok.

The kid is as strong as a bull but I can never respect a lift like that. That shit can't possibly count.

I may have got 500 with a rubber shirt, my feet under my ass and my back 8 inches off of the bench, just saying.
 
PL is all about trying to lift the heaviest weight through the shortest ROM.

Arched benching, sumo deads and wide squats... Etc

That's why short guys are usually stronger than tall guys on squats and deads, and a guy with a big belly short arms is going to have a huge bench.

And like @Masters Power says, these guys are getting a lot of help from their gear. A good shirt can give a couple hundred pounds boost. Same as a squat or DL suit, knee wraps, briefs, etc.

Strong is still strong though.. It's all just relative
 
Not only the children, but the damn women as well. Maybe I need to take up golf and get out of the weight room!lol
Lol true that. Honestly though the younger people bother me more than the gender thing. I mean if a 30 y/o woman pulls 600lbs, ok fine she has been training for probably 10-15 years. But a 16 y/o kid, what has be been training seriously for 2-4 years maybe?

Some people are just born genetic freaks. I'm strong as fuck for my size, but I'll never be WSM. I don't have the genetics to be 6'8 and 420 lbs lol.

At 16 I was benching 225...this kid is one of those freaks, that's all.
 
I had all the potential in the world when I was younger, and pissed it all away chasing pussy and dope. Came back at the ripe age of 45 thinking I’d Be benching 500 within a year!!! Hah, 2 years later still haven’t hit 405! Oh well, I’m having fun!
