Mike Brown does 330-lb Bench Press (at age 68) 

i hope im still training when im 68 u are an inspiration great job

Great Job Mike! Keep up the great work. I also hope to be lifting at your age, Lord willing.

It's funny, viewing the video I saw those little 1/10 reps and thought "he thinks that is a 330 bench" LOL. Then the rest of the video OMG how impressive. I just turned 60 and can barely get 245. You are amazing. I am definitely impressed. Keep going my old buddy. You are one in many millions.

@asianstrength Reply from Mike Brown: On the contrary. If you lift your butt off the bench and change the angle of the lift the upper back muscles come into play and you can therefore lift more weight. The idea is that if you lift more weight by "cheating" you will have a "strength spillover" into the strict (or competition) lift. You will never have a strength spillover from a lighter weight to a heavier one.

If you lift your butt off the bench you increase the leverage and can lift more weight. You will have "strength spillovers" from such form to the strict, never the other way around, not to mention it is less of a strain on the shoulder joints. Mike

wow i never thought id see a person his age doing the weight hes doing

You are a badass.

Wow. He puts me to shame. I was happy when I got up 225 a month ago.

i cant even come close

@Jerrush1 A muscle has more potential power the further it contracts. That is--the amount of power you can produce at the top of the lift is far greater than that which you can produce at the bottom. Note that no one can handle the same amount of weight coming off the chest than they can at full extension. Partials allow you to train from the strongest point down, not the weakest point up. Your strength will then "spill over" from the stongest points to the weaker ones. Mike

at 68 he's had over 40 years to train he should be up to 400 minimum! Just kidding it's a great effort, I wish he didn't bounce it but still impressive.

to mike; i often train with partials at my weakest points is that as, more or less effective than training with partials at the strongest points

@ediot6969 225 is a lot of weight on the bench...Don't let other kids on youtube tell you otherwise. The average adult male only puts up around 165 on bench press. This guy is like 1 in a million. Nobody benches 315 or even 225 over 60 years old lol.

Mike, I do believe we live in the same area. Springfield Missouri? I live in Buffalo north of there. By the way nice job! I probably wouldn't get that in a million years! But I'll try:)

your gonna nvm..

D-D-Damnnn!

Does that even work something? strong full range of motion

@ediot6969 I suspect your technique (breathing, hand position, etc.) could use some improvement which in turn would boost the amount of weight you could lift. Mike

wtf...this is crazy....man...shit lol dunno what to say...nice..

@incliner62 I guess you're cutting and pasting your posts to more than one of Mike's videos. Can't you come up with an original comment? Are you jealous?
