U know ur too deep in the powerlifting rabbit hole when u see a video about builds and know everyone hes gonna talk about 😂😂

Jen Thompson is the clear example for bench in the female side

I have learnt one thing from this video: if I want to be the best deadlifter the world has ever seen, all I need to do is do 300 sets of 1 with 75% of my 1RM

No Layne Norton??

World record squat, and his torso was basically parallel to the floor…

I think theres a misconception here with whether someone is "built" for a lift or not. of course everything being equal longer arms typically resonates with a bigger deadlift. but someone like temur is built for the deadlift in way which isnt really visible, i.e having glutes which attach further down the back of the femur, having a disposition to strong erectors etc

I love your take on this topic.  As an older masters lifter that is still competing I enjoy these power lifting anachronisms.

Someone I feel like deserves a spot somewhere on this list is Alba Boström, someone who before the rule changes was gunning for the bench record but missed, but also is the current deadlift record holder. I dont feel like her arms are particularly long or short so not sure where she would fall

1:24 "bloat lords" lmao

Tendon insertions make a huge difference it’s not just limb length

Evie Corrigan is a good shout for squat and bench

Love this channel and those concepts. Keep up the good work

Thanks for the videos man! Been following since you had 50 followers man, keep it up

No Jen Thompson for bench??

For the male squatters, you could've used Layne Norton when he squatted 303kg as a 93kg at 2015 worlds

Very unique and good video

Bench seems to be the most body-type dependent lift out there. I have longish femurs, short torso. Have pulled 660lb, squatted 540lb. Best bench is 297lb (135kg)

Temur right now is doing 105 sets on squat and deadlift with 320kg. He's a monster lol

That one guy said the same thing as me almost word for word

Femur length is irrelevant as long as you have long shins. It's all about the ratio and if there is enough room to stay efficient and load into the quads.

Two guys that are the same height and have the same femur length can have 0/10 squat leverages and 10/10 squat leverages based on their shin length.

And you can see in basically every example for Squat that they all have long shins. I think the femur length is very outdated when all that counts is ratio of femur:shins allowing you to have better torque for quads.
