Daniel Ståhl now reveals how absurdly much he takes in the bench press – the WC gold hero’s matchless record in the gym: “Can throw far”

The record on the bench

A year ago, Ståhl moved down to Malmö and now has Staffan Jönsson as coach. Together, they have really switched up the strength training to reach new lengths with the discus.
– We have some target weights that we want in the squat, deadlift and bench. If he’s there, we know he can throw far. He is a little closer to those weights now than he was at the same position a year ago. So now we have a little more time to get the same weight to move faster, to get him more explosive, says Jönsson to Expressen.

Then of course the given follow-up question that everyone wonders about, namely exactly how much Daniel Ståhl can do in the bench press. And it really is a lot.
– 210 kilos in bench press. Five repetitions of 350 kilos in the deadlift. Three repetitions of around 300 kilos in leg curls, the trainer admits in the interview.

Ståhl has thrown 71.86 the longest in his career and with the new strength the Swedish athletics hero will reach even higher heights.
– If you manage this strength in the right way, with long movements in the discus ring, then there are no problems. Then it’s easy to get too excited when you throw, so that you tear and tear when you’re even stronger, says Daniel to the evening newspaper.
