Vegans that only eat fruit bench pressing

I shouldn't be laughing, but I am. Might be his yelling. I know heavy is relative, but come the fuck on. Not only are they failing at 'lifting heavy', they're failing at even ego lifting. They have no reason to have that weight on their chest. These cats are going to snap city in the near future, bet.

I dont get it. Is it more difficult because they don't eat protein or something? Seems like any other scawny guy would get the same results.

I'm scrawny (more cardio than anything) and I get sore with just the bar.
They're working out. Why do you care?

If you're a vegan, you don't solely eat fruit.
Besides, this has little to do with the overall diet of vegans but more this said person's personal diet.
Most likely they haven't been working out for an extended period of time either.
In summary, I'm questioning the relevancy of focusing on "vegan".

165 isn't exactly light if you never work out (that first guy clearly hasn't strength trained much) and only weigh 170ish. I don't care if you eat protein or not. The second guy did a damn good job with 250 for his weight.
tl;dr: I don't understand how to feel about this video.

I would assume that's what the vid is implying...(Edit: er...rather, the thread title)

He's a vegan at a fruit vegan fest bench-pressing. It's also funny to see.
Guys like Duriander and Freeleebanana girl are really hamming up the fact that vegans is the way to go to make strenght gains (bashing my hodgetwins) . Its not to show that you cant work out, but that they can't lift heavy.
Edit: Not saying that all vegans are weak, but these are.
Reminds me of Jim Gaffigan.

That's what a vegan strength athlete can do. Or look at teamjones here on gaf.
none of those 30 banana a day eating lames.

Oh I thought there was more to it. So we're picking on weak people now?
That's a stupid the video. The guy doing 250 has some of the worst form I have ever seen. Your ass is not supposed to leave the bench at any point, yet he had his like 6 inches off the pad
The first guy I don't think have ever even benched before, so asking someone to do their own body weight having never benched is pretty hard.

I stopped watching pretty quickly, but from the first rep, it was obvious the dude had no business attempting that weight. He needed to drop it by 20% or more.

Yeah OP no need for bullying
Bad form or not, that's a hell of a lot of weight for a guy his size. You cant deny he has some strength.

Lol at some of the channel owners comments.
God, I can smell the pretentiousness all the way from here.

He stopped jacking 'em when he went vegetarian. Ate meat, hit more home runs.
Now he's just broke down 'cause he's fat though.
You can't deny he's going to cause serious damage to himself trying to lift like that. Nothing else worthwhile to get from that video.
Ton of fiber and it's good sugar that your body can use. But "only" of most anything is usually not a good idea.
Second dude is pretty strong, all things considered, but form is terrible, both of them need to drop the weight and work on their form. That first rep spot was horrendous, hard to even watch after that shit, so dumb.
Like some of the youtube comments said, I don't think there is one legit rep in that whole video.

People that don't lift being asked to lift and it turns out they are not great lifters. Shocking.

It can't be good for your pancreas.
Obviously he is strong, but that form is not a valid rep. 250 is also my current bench press max, but I am pretty confident I could get 260-265 if I did that.
It essentially turns the rep into a decline, and lifts your chest so far off the pad that you only have to go ~60% of the way down

This is amazing. I don't lift for a few reasons, and this is the sum total of those reasons. 'Cause I'm too thin, and I lack protein, and I don't have a colossal ego. Maybe.
... Even so, I do have more definition than that guy. Dude isn't even ripped.
