Regardless, if his ROM is only an inch then his back must be so damn far off the bench that it is comical.
Wide grip typically means he is training for competition. Did he seem like he was in a strong shape?

I don't think I'll be going in to the gym today. Will be tomorrow. So I'll take a picture of said rubber workout mat I'm referring to.
I get what you're saying about small build guys being able to push more weight. But this guy's body type just didn't match the weight he was working with. All the smaller height guys I've seen that are able to throw up those massive weights at least had pretty sizeable arms and chest. This guy had neither. He's in shape. Not questioning that. But his build is more akin to someone in martial arts...thin and cut.
