soundsgood Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 Just saw this Vid on Facebook (brought to my attention by none other than NZA crew member TWL liking it).Strong benching from one of Aussies Aesthetic crew. Supaturk looks about 5'8 - 90kg? Maybe closer to 100 if he's bulking (still pretty lean).Anyway solid sets of benches at 180kg and 210kg and the double (assisted) at 230kg was pretty impressive.Whats your thoughts? Fake plates? I think it could be legit and am impressed if its real.Just for reference here is Derek Poundstone pressing slightly less weight at over 1.5 Superturks bodyweight :-s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatwaslight Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 I think he's like 100+ shredded now bro? My mind is blown at how strong his bench is. Have seen other vids of him repping 4pps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarryB Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 Well I guess it shows there is no direct correlation between strength and development... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nate225 Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 I'll be honest I'm struggling to believe it.....Poundstone is fucken strong, legitimately one of the strongest men on the planet and around 150kg. Supaturk lifted that easier than Poundstone..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supaturk lifted that easier than Poundstone..... Don't ruin it man.... I have seen the guy in person Supaturk I mean... looks like he would struggle with 100k bench! No one else notice how easy his spotter ripped off 2 x 20's and a 10 when he was doing his strip set? I was sorry I even watched... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soundsgood Posted April 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 I rep 4pps and I've benched 4 and a half pps for a single but my setup was pretty immaculate, I had leg drive the works. Supaturk just gets under the weight, unracks and starts repping in that vid. The way the spotter pulls off 3 plates cast doubt too.Only person who I can think of on this forum who could pull something like this off is Bigkiwi. Would love his thoughts.

Diab0lic Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 Hmmmm, looking at it again, he unracks that first set way to easy IMO... And 7 reps of 180? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joey pineapples Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 If it's real, why does the bar not bend in the same way as the second video at the top of each rep? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryB Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 If it's real, why does the bar not bend in the same way as the second video at the top of each rep? I think because in the second video, Poundstone is using a fake bar! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
