i can understand why he had an alternate grip in the beginning, but shit that's awkward! Is that common?

i actually thought he would bench that easier than he did since he allways does so well in pressing events in strongman. but he is strong as hell and benchpress isnt the most important exercise for a strongman. but i have seen the vid where Magnus Samuelsson benches 270kg for 2 reps.

"This is from training Derek did February 20th, 2009. Derek suffered a fractal pec tear about a year ago benching 500 lbs so this has been a huge mental block. "
