Doing a bench press with that much weight without a regular grip is just plain stupid, I bet he used a regular grip the next time he benched .
Been there done that Eric
I used to train on my own in my fathers garage where I had a decent gym with mostly free weights. On more than one occasion I was benching and couldn’t make the last rep ive had anything up to about 270 Ilbs come down on me a few times. I used to drop the right side end of the bar down and slide to the other side when the bar rested on the ground and the right side of the bench. I did hurt my side doing it once. It used to scare the hell out of me. looking back I must have been mad. Don’t be trying it out anyone.
