  • Bert Elliott's Bent-Press

    • Bert Elliott Bent-PressBert Elliott Bent-Press
    The great weightlifter Bert Elliott was also a specialist in the bent-press. He had a special 201-pound globe "Challenge" Dumbbell that few could budge but which he could lift with ease.

    It was thought by many "old time" weight lifters that due to the incredible midsection strength that was developed by the bent-press, improving that lift would also improve one's total.

    Sure looks that way here.
