His smooth, controlled reps suggest to me that he is, in fact, warming up. He can obviously press much much more than he’s doing. Egotism is an ugly thing.
Yeah, either the weight is so light to him that it moves like nothing, or hes new to the gym and still a little shaky. Either way thats not a good look for her
Agreed, I've had to start strengthening my joints by doing box step ups and whilst it's painful I try to make sure each movement is controlled and slow and I feel like I'm going in the right direction
You know you need to arch when benching so your shoulder is in a safe spot, right? Because the lady has correct form and the guy has not. Which still is no reason to make fun of him, as he's trying to improve.
im so glad that you are trying to rebuild the fitness community back to a positive and more encouraging state. we need it more than ever in this time of day!
@@dva5610It's not just that, a lot of these "gym influencers" think they can shame and ridicule men in the gym for being in the same space as them, or even glancing in their general direction; aka calling men "gym creeps".
Getting rid of people recording others in the gym for attention and/or calling men "gym creeps", should be a high priority. 90% to 99% of people in the gym are just minding their own business.

@@seanludolph both these replies are correct but i'd like to add to this one and say it's people in general also just in terms of how they look and how strong they are because of ego
@@braveryxd There's a saying "those who speak, don't know; and those who know, don't speak". I know I'm pretty strong, but I like to stay humble, because I know I'm not the strongest anywhere in any regard. I just want to be the strongest version of myself; that's it.
What kind of progression is that? You literally quadrupled the weight that's like newbie gains + steroid like progress jesus christ. PS: I'm not calling you a enhanced or anything good job my guy that's insane progress
Pretty sure everyone at the gym benches more than me (just 95lb) but then again, not everyone had a shoulder replacement surgery. Don't compare yourself to others, compare yourself to yourself. Can you bench more than you did last week? Last month? Last year? Ever? Great. I bench more than I did after my surgery, which was literally benching a wooden dowel.
Last time I checked my max is only 105 and I have no problems with my arms or shoulders or anything 😭 keep up your good work bro and never give up on being a better version of yourself 💪💪
@artsmart_5805 You'll get there bro! When I started lifting back in late 2021 I was benching 65 lbs. on the Smith machine at 170 lbs. Now I'm 155 lbs. and currently at 140 lbs. for my sets, with 190 being my current max. We're all working on it but same goes to you, don't give up! ❤
she's using a powerlifting arch which is a technique specifically designed to minimise the amount of effort needed to move a weight, whereas he's flat benching, their bar speeds are also radically different which suggests he is probably warming up
apart from the fact that bringing up this argument is pretty dumb on her part, you can see how much smoother his reps are compared to hers. he isn't even close to his max here
It's actually hilarious how he's easily going through his reps (almost like he's warming up or something) meanwhile she's fighting for her life, fully arched, only benching a few more more pounds than him, thinking she did something
Yeah this is honestly what i do, i never do max strength sets,i just do few sets of 20 reps of whatever weight/exercise i am comfortable with. My aim is not to gain a lot of muscles but to just stay fit.
One time, when I was just starting lifting I pulled 225 for reps on dead’s for the first time. I weighed about 155 and looked weak which I truly was but I was the strongest I’d ever been at that point. I overheard a much bigger man get down on himself over it and say to his friend… “did you see that, I can’t pull S*#% off the ground, but I bet he was benching at least 200 lbs which I couldn’t do and could barely do now as I’m a genetically legs focused lifter. The long and the short of it is everyone is different and what that guy had in upper body strength I wanted and what I had in legs strength he wanted. You are who you are for a reason and you don’t need to compete with strangers. Do the work and see where it goes and be happy with yourself for doing the hard things you didn’t do before.
Correct me if I'm not missing, but 1) she does "bridge" technique. 2) she is using a wrist fixators. 3) she is benching like 5 kg more than this man(i live in Europe, and as i can see in our terms of weight she benches 65 kg, and he is benching 60 kg.)
@@janisir4529when bench pressing you have to arch your back otherwise you'll bench less and increase the possibility of injury, but that type of arc is quite exaggerated
Whether he is pushing his max or warming up is irrelevant. Many women are stronger than many men in the gym. It's cool if you can outperform metrics for men on average, no need to put down individuals (who may be just starting out, recovering from injury, have some disability, focus on light weights, etc.)
The woman is using the powerlifting form to maximize the number on the bar. The guy is flat to maximize the muscle growth. I can share link for techique video for both ways if you want?

Heavy weight or light weight.. or even calisthnetics (only bodyweight).. low reps or high reps or very high reps.. as long as the exericise is taken to failure the muscle growth is the same.
@@miroslavzicha99low reps with high weights it's not a "recipe for injury", you clearly overestimated your strength and loaded too much weight, it can happen with high reps too
@@silverskull7669 I did calisthenics. No skills included. No weigthted cali. Sets of 3 reps, purest form of basics there is. Pull-ups ducked up my elbow. Any suggested explaination? Besides fragile body...
His form looks like he can definitely rep 185 or heavier if he has a spotter. Even if a guy can't bench one plate, his consistency in training for improvement is more important than anything else. Filming video in a public gym needs to be prohibited.
I thought women were equal to men? So what’s the big deal if you’re stronger then him? Besides the fact that she’s struggling with warm up weight and he clearly isn’t.
I had to go really light in my squats after an injury. Felt weak and dumb going light in weights, but had to remind myself that it was alright and not to compare myself to others.
Whenever I see someone struggle at the bench or say ‘Bro u bench really good I can’t lift that much’ I always tell them when I first started benching I used to do it with just the rod and no weights
The lady should correct her form before judging others, her back is arched which means she is just benching for the sake of the video. She lacks the strength to do so with her back flat!
Her form is correct, dude's form is gonna be a recipe for shoulder injury with higher loads. Plus, if you want more range of motion than you should just open the grip more
It's just factual that it's unlikely for an adult woman to lift more than an adult man, unless the man is an absolute beginner (which judging by the man's form and controlled movements he is not). There is no point comparing yourself to someone with an advantage, especially someone you don't know and have only seen once in your life. Idk what in the cognitive dissonance made her think this way lol
Benching more than any man is actually a great achievement for a woman, worthy of being proud. Even if comparison is somewhat unfair. So, in this case - let it slide, let her have it. She's doing her best
@@AlexK-ib4ic not really, excusing shitty behavior because they're a woman is a grade-A simp move. You also seem to be pretty stupid if you expected to be called sexist, perhaps towards men. But then again, that's rather unlikely to happen.
@@AlexK-ib4ic What if I said a boy who is 6 years old is running faster than a girl who is in middle school and is 12 years old, would you have the same energy, or would you say "well of course, he's a boy, so he should be faster"? Probably would say something similar to that.
@@Bweyg no, why? It would be ridiculous. There's barely any difference in physical prowess between sexes until puberty, and during fast growth period even one year difference means A LOT. What to say about six whole years. On top of that girls generally tend to grow up faster, so, even if both of them were 12 years - boy would generally be at disadvantage until puberty fully hits. So, no, I wouldn't say that. 6 yo being faster than 12 yo is somewhat miraculous achievement, more than worthy of praise. Unless 12 yo is some extremely overweight or cripplingly unfit girl.
His smooth, controlled reps suggest to me that he is, in fact, warming up. He can obviously press much much more than he’s doing. Egotism is an ugly thing.
He's in good form, and is probably starting from medium / below medium and then will bench more over time.
Fr imagine doing some warmup sets and some random person films them trying to put you down for lifting less than them. So stupid.
Yeah, either the weight is so light to him that it moves like nothing, or hes new to the gym and still a little shaky. Either way thats not a good look for her
I like how the lady’s spine looked like it was about to snap but the guy was calm and actually had correct posture, weight isn’t everything
Agreed, I've had to start strengthening my joints by doing box step ups and whilst it's painful I try to make sure each movement is controlled and slow and I feel like I'm going in the right direction
Yeah, no point about boasting to lift heavier if you can't even do it right
Exactly!
My back hurts just looking at that.

Speaking of improving in the gym, she is arching so hard while he is actually flat
Yep.
Does that do anything, or it's just there to lower the range of motion?

I dont think you're supposed to arch your back like that, bad for your spine. If you feel like you have to, the weight is probably too heavy.
