Title: Amazing strength in the gym tonight
Post by: Darren Avey on January 25, 2008, 01:38:15 PM
Saw a guy in there, kind that "lifts for fun", i know hes the local window cleaner, prob about 215lbs, and im sure hes natural as he doesnt look like hes on gear, guess you never know.
Anyway he shoulder pressed the 60kg DBs (132lbs) for 6!! Dam strict too. Impressive?

I've seen a black guy that works for the DSNY(NYC sanitation) and hauls garbage.. He works at my gym and I've seen him bench 405 for 2 and deadlift 585 for a triple. Dude can also squat 405 for reps, although this doesn't match his deadlift numbers. Maybe a juicer, as he's pretty big, but he's still impressive as hell. Reps 275 on the shoulder press for 8-10 reps.

Some people are just freaks of nature.

i used to be a fit trainer years ago and i remember this big black fella... the dude was a MONSTER!!!! about 6'6" around 300 about 8% bf and he used to pull 675 (that's 7 plates a side) for 3 or 4 reps :o and he screamed like a madman during each and every rep.. but no one said a thing to him, coz he servered some hard time in the local state pen :-X

Depends. Most ego lifters have horrible form.

there's a maintenance guy at my gym, big black dude, reps out 315 like it's a broomstick, shitty form (bounces off the chest and lifts his butt off the bench) but nevertheless.  he only does flat bench and behind the back pulldowns, several sets of each and he's gone.

What does a guy's skin color have to do with how strong he is?
