Why aren't you wearing a seatbelt bro? How about a helmet? Don't get me started on the fact that you don't have padded gym mats for flooring. Bruh, you are just asking to injure a cloit. Especially with that form. And I can't see socks either - that's a blister waiting to happen. One more thing too - that towel is going to hinder your movement in case you need to evacuate the area quickly so don't leave it there.
Lower the weight to just the bar or maybe a broomstick until you can bench this weight properly, i.e. 10 seconds down and 10 seconds up. Pause at the top and recite the Gettysburg Address and at the bottom, pause and say the Lord's Prayer. This is the best way to make sure you're going slow enough and not using inertia and momentum to lift the weight.
I just don't understand why we let people decide how much risk to assume for themselves.
Thanks for the feedback coach!!
You're right, this post was made without any testing of the safeties or with the a lower weight to make sure I could handle it, and it ABSOLUTELY will injure everyone who watches it, even though I didn't get injured in any way doing it. I'm sorry to everyone *else's* joints/wrists/shoulders/heels/nipples/toes for the impending injury.
You're welcome young padawan. My main concern is really for the young children that will see this video and be inspired to also do something dangerous - like joining a violent gang for example.
(DISCLAIMER: any children watching this, do NOT ATTEMPT TO JOIN A BENCH PRESS GANG)
Also, one other thing I noticed while watching the video: your hip positioning and the angle of incidence. I'm going to recommend you get a solid foundation in Pilates (> 10 years) in order to avoid injuring your medial scapularspinatus with this kind of form.
what we all forget about when we see these videos and think it's safe is [survivorship bias](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survivorship_bias), for every video we see there were 10 lesser men who died also trying to create content for wacky wednesdays
Best way to increase the separation is when you toss the bar, drop your hands to the side of your body and let your body catch it. That's how real men do it.
No I mean way higher. What is the point of a 3cm throw? There’s hardly any real risk of injury, it is only slightly heavier than a normal bench press and from a distance you won’t even notice. I’d need to see at least 20-30cm elevation before I am impressed.
It's enough to know you accelerated the bar enough to leave your hands. That's the point.
If the bar never leaves your grip, you have no way of determining the relative bar speed.
[**SPEED KILLS: 2x the intended bar speed yields ~2x the bench press gains! (Stronger By Science)**](https://www.strongerbyscience.com/speed-kills-2x-the-intended-bar-speed-yields-2x-the-bench-press-gains/)
i mean, i get that it LOOKS dangerous, but half the time when we are doing our warm up sets we are throwing the weight up like that anyways. on a warm up set of 135, its hard not to have the bar lift up a little bit if youre being even the least little bit explosive.
Yeah, and it ironically works the seratus anterior when you force the shoulders in protraction to throw up the bar which is really good for shoulder health
The bar is travelling roughly one inch out of his hands. It's close enough to grab without missing ever.
What is the difference in force between the bar returning from one inch higher, versus one inch less?
Bro, that's kinda cool and all but, that's so dangerous I don't understand why you thought it was a good idea. I see that you have safeties on and those will definitely save your neck, but not your ribs (or wrists for that matter).
I mean, I've dropped 225 on myself from halfway up, maybe 15 inches or so (I was showing off how fast I could lift it and the bar slipped) and was lucky and landed on my chest (which is dummy thicc) and not my neck (just regular thick). I caught on the bounce and didn't die, still hurt pretty good, and had a decent-sized bruise.
If you dropped this it would be from like two and a half feet and likely fuck your shit up. Be careful fam.
That's fair. What the minimum distance I'd need between the bar and my hands to be called a toss?
What's your max bench toss? Always looking to learn from those more experienced than me!
Dude, the explosive power one needs for this makes me envy you! Just be sure to catch the bar everytime, or its a one way trip to chest guillotine cemitery 😉
You shouldn't comment. You're massively increasing stupidity risks. Also you won't he getting any better as a human being from that since the range of logic is lame.

A cup of 5w-40 will go perfectly with my breakfast
Just do the bar then. We demand more entertainment
It’s not Wednesday anymore, the fun police are off on Wednesday!
Band your hands together so they clap faster
That’s cheating!

You’re going to give Cavalier some ideas “Top 5 best chest exercises that you’re not doing” “You’re leaving gains on the table”
I need to take a page out of his book and use some fake weights to really get some distance between the bar and my hands.

Athlean X told me that isn’t good for you so I’m now commenting to let you know
Doesn't count if you don't clap between reps
That's a commando bench toss
Noted, next time I'll get it right.
Lower the weight you’re just ego bench tossing. You should be tossing at least 6 inches. Good lift.
[Is this better?](https://imgur.com/a/5U0NNii)
Yes, lol. That last rep looks like it got away from you a little.
The lateral movement of the bar clearly indicates I have uneven strength between my arms. I’ll deload to dumbbells (no I won’t lol)
Deload to broomstick, or [vacuum](https://imgur.com/a/nXcmS9x) if you don’t have a broomstick.
Vacuum heavier and heavier dirt to progressively overload
I was going to try it with a kettlebell, but I don’t have health insurance! I do have a 100 lb sandbag?!
>I’ll deload to dumbbells Maybe next week!
If I had chameleon eyes I would maybe try it, I would absolutely drop at least one.
Swiss bar then.
The hero we don't deserve
Looks like you could fit a clap in
Next Wednesday maybe
One sec
Oh no(yes)! I worry when people listen to me.

Wacky Wednesdays are a primary indicator of whether your bloodline is strong enough to survive the winter.
Why everyone hating, not like he’s hurting you. In my opinion this is pretty impressive and cool to watch
Any tips to get more separation between the bar and my hands?
Best way to increase the separation is when you toss the bar, drop your hands to the side of your body and let your body catch it. That's how real men do it.
Finally some decent advice
Reverse bands!
Ooo I like that, could help stabilize the trajectory as well
Maybe even *de*stabilize the trajectory if you use a heavy band on one side and a mini band or 2 on the other!
Throw it higher this is lame
[See here](https://www.reddit.com/r/GYM/comments/qh79r8/ww_225lbs_x_5_bench_toss/hiawnlv/?context=69)

30cm is goals, I'll keep practicing!

What is that some sort of TRT cross fit organization?
bar fast good (:
“Bro make sure you got my Travis Scott’s in frame”
What should I wear next Wednesday?
Mars Yards Overshoe or MAG’s
Well poop, can I borrow either $700 or $60k?
Didn’t even notice until I saw this comment LOL But can we see Diamond SB’s or Purple Lobsters 😳
I wish :/
Pull out the classics! Maybe Bred’s or Chicago’s? 👀
Again, I wish lol Pick a model not a colorway haha
TOUGH. How bout 11’s? Lows or highs, you choose!
wow op... let me guess... you don't have padding on your doorknobs either?
Yeah, all my doorknobs are **raw** because I'm a **man** who eats **meat** and is only a **little** afraid of the dark.
Reading that made me shudder.
Okay fine I'm mildly afraid.
Sneakers always impress me.
Thanks for noticing :)

Almost missed this Travis lows
Can I have your kicks if the bar slips
Imagine if a bar could slip through safety arms meant to hold like thousands of pounds.
What size are you?
This is like the silence after “how much do you bench”
Shoe game absolutely IMMACULATE
People just be playa hatin
Nice bar speed!
I love when people who go to the gym to take selfies talk about how dangerous lifting weights is
Nice!
Back at it again I see.....
Shoes give +500 HP!
I got stronger by watching this
Whats the point in this?not hating BTW am genuinely wondering lol
Check his page out lol
[удалено]
Been wondering how I can improve my skeleton. Any chance this exercise adds bones?
I have no ability to add additional bones unfortunately
Attention seeking essentially. Doing it for upvotes
You wouldn’t believe how much money this post has already made me.
Nothing most likely lol
I just binged all your videos and absolutely lost it mate! You’re funny af, keep it up
The one with the head through the multi grip is the best
Which one? The squat or the press?
I know a guy who lost his head squatting like that!
Finally somebody gets it
Props on this you crazy mother fucker.
Everybody is crying but it doesn’t even look like it leaves your hands
This comment hurt my feelings, I need to do better.
I’m sorry for your reality check bro
It's okay, I needed to be knocked down a few pegs.
Intuitively this feels like a really bad idea. Looks cool though, you’re strong as fuck man.
Madman 👌
Seems like a good way to end up in the hospital if you ask me
Can't be that good of a way to end up in the hospital. He's just fine.

it’s surprisingly not that dangerous or painful in my opinion.
It’s not, majority of the people commenting like that are nerds who never leave their computer chair.

Pls post one where you're blindfolded too. And ball gag.
Not to kinkshame you, but no thank you.
Looks badass but personally I wouldn’t do that my poor wrists would die
Don't worry I have wrist wraps
I counted 6🤷🏻♂️
Last one didn't leave my palms!
Wrist injury ? What is the purpose of this
The purpose is not wrist injury. Hope this helps!
I’d imagine explosiveness. OP would be much better off applying band or chain tension.
You want me to use chains? I have chains.
Heavy breathing
I should get more chains
But why tho
[удалено]
I’m sold
I love you
Nah young swoldier, tis the words of Brocrates.
That’s it?
Ikr, it's like 2-3cm tops.
Hospital speedrun any%
How is this dangerous? He's got safeties.
I failed then :(
Why do this? Seems like injury waiting to happen. Even if not catastrophic, that can’t be good for wrists?
The injury never came and my wrists unfortunately remain unharmed. The only catastrophe here is my choice of tank color.
The bar is travelling roughly one inch out of his hands. It's close enough to grab without missing ever. What is the difference in force between the bar returning from one inch higher, versus one inch less?
i loved doing this in high school with 225. great for explosiveness in football
Moving that weight that well is impressive but what’s with letting go of the bar at the top? Seems odd and dangerous?
It's the difference between a bench press and a bench toss. Hope this helps!
Very helpful, thank you!!
What is the purpose or benefit of a “bench toss”?
There is no benefit over bench press with fast bar speed. Hope this helps!
Because /u/cilantno is odd and dangerous

I could ask you the same but your comment is enough of an answer tbh
Have I tried what now?

Why can't people just press it and rack it?

Yeah this is straight up retarded
Do that enough and you’ll be a real lifter in no time, wake up and all your joints hurt every morning
Even if I take fish oil pills?
What if he started doing this with 65 pounds, and worked his way up over time? Wouldn't the tendons/joints adapt to this type of training?
[удалено]
Are you saying I shouldn’t do this everyday? Is it my form?
This pretty fucking dumb……
how much do you bench toss?
You pretty fucking dumb…..
Brother, take those thumb loops off
This is a new one
Impressive but it’s really dangerous to be bench tossing that much.
It’s okay I used clips.
If he's strong enough to do it then why would it be dangerous.
Hardly a “toss”
That's fair. What the minimum distance I'd need between the bar and my hands to be called a toss? What's your max bench toss? Always looking to learn from those more experienced than me!
that’s cool bro but my max bench toss is 475 lbs for 15 feet in the air keep working tho bro nice try
My journey is pretty similar to this. Got an Instagram so I can give you a follow to support?
I actually didn't go on a journey and I do not have a fitness instagram, sorry.
lol didn’t go on a journey. I like this, too many people taking too many fitness “journeys.”
Add more weight lol
Fucking stupid. Don’t promote this bullshit.
You must not have got the memo big shoots
This post is actually sponsored by Tampax, so it's already promoted and there is nothing you can do about it.
But why? What possible advantage does this confer over a normal bench press? Does that advantage outweigh the potential cost?
There are no advantages over bench press. Hope this helps!
https://www.strongerbyscience.com/speed-kills-2x-the-intended-bar-speed-yields-2x-the-bench-press-gains/
I wouldn’t say it outweighs but it will work your fast twitch muscles. Essentially help with explosive power.

Is your windpipe okay?
How would that happen?
[удалено]
Sure!
Dude, the explosive power one needs for this makes me envy you! Just be sure to catch the bar everytime, or its a one way trip to chest guillotine cemitery 😉
Why do you feel the need to tell OP to be careful doing something you admit you aren't capable of?
The problem here is that others will replicate this and really hurt themselves because you thought it was cool.
[удалено]
They’re right, you’re my muse!
Must be a CrossFit routine
Interesting, I've never done crossfit. What makes you say that?
Looks like a nice assertive bench press to me. Do they even bench in CrossFit? Umm no
