Did they really include a clip of him benching 5kg plates?

Lower weights higher reps. Function over form.

When I was that age I was benching 135lbs as a warmup set, was like air. My girl does 5kg plates now and we are in our 30s LOL

But are you as agile as him? Can you do the same weight that you do now for straight 30 reps? or would you not need to lower the weights in order to achieve the reps?
Maybe his trainer has recommended him to do 25 - 30 reps of whatever weight he can do right now.
See I am not being antagonistic. I am genuinely curious.

Who knows. Historically trainers have suggested high rep sets as preferable for endurance training and lower rep, heavier lifting for strength building. For a professional athlete who's job it is to eat healthy and train, he should be doing both with cardio as an obvious given.
I wasn't trying to open pandora's box, but I just found that kind of weight funny that's all. I've been on this forum forever, my profile picture is actually back from when I was his age. A barbell is 45lbs, two 5kg weights bring it to 67lbs or so. I would of likely gotten bored before getting tired benching that

So if you trained you know bench is mainly for the chest also includes triceps and biceps... I don't see how and why should he lift more, because he doesn't need this muscles to grow and gain like Arnold or so... So focus is on speed, agility, strenght and not on gains and heavy lifting.Who knows.

Football is completely unilateral game. You can argue that they do not even need to train with a barbell.
Maybe just quarter squats, jumping squats and resistant band squats for jumping at corners/throw ins and long balls.
But the barbell bench press, practically useless. Unless your Lewandowski and need to push yourself up from the ground 100 times a game.

Everyone that has stepped into a gym knows chest press...you guessed it, isolates chest and triceps secondarily. No one is saying he has to lift really heavy and look like Arnold. What I'm saying is chest pressing a barbell of 65lbs as a young, athletic early 20s male is laughable. It really is so light that there isn't even a point to doing it.
This forum is filled with wannabe trolls and people lacking in reading comprehension. Mods really need to step it up.
