salute threadstarter, thread title got me laughin so hard i prob won't be able to get to sleep now. first of all, the bar aint even come near his chest, lmao, them struggle ass reps. and secondly, for any serious gym heads it's common knowledge, if yo ass is benching on the smith machine you are a fukkboy or an old ass man, or a laughable novice. I sometimes, very rarely, use the smith machine for squats, i could probably bench 500 five times on the smith machine. judging off this clip he could probably bench 200 on the smith machine 8 times cleanly... if that's the case why doesn't his trainer put him on the real bench and let him start out at 135 (2 plates plus the bar) and pyramid up to like 185 for 2-3 reps after like 4 sets of increasing and keep that routine for a week, 2-3 times a week, and then increase the 2-3 rep set weight to 200 the following week, etc...? he would see gains way faster, and get stronger way faster. and get this man on the cables, hit them pulldowns, son got triceps like my daughter tryna flex with the benchin
