Title: ERik Bui poundages
Post by: toolarge4u on January 09, 2008, 06:56:30 AM
Discuss.....sorry if repost

Since posting the articles about my heavy and hardcore training philosophy, I have received many requests for a glimpse at my typical workout numbers. My goal with each workout is to apply enough aggression to (1) move as much weight as efficiently and safely as possible, and (2) to naturally stimulate my body�s own production of testosterone. I utilize my power movements (squat, bench, and deadlift) to force my body to kick out more testosterone.

I do have a training partner and have always stressed the importance of safety. Make sure you have someone who is knowledgeable and capable of spotting properly. Training heavy is extremely beneficial and vital to rapid muscle growth.

In case you are interested, you can view my lifting techniques on DVD as I squat 600 for reps without a belt and knee wraps, and perform seated dumbbell curls with 80 lb. dumbbells. Just go to www.gmv.com.au for more information.

I will list the poundage and repetitions for each individual set, set by set, from all warm-up sets through all subsequent sets. I do have �off� days when the strength just isn�t all there so the numbers posted below are from my �good� days. The bold print is just there to help you follow the numbers better. So with no further adieu, here they are:

FLAT BARBELL PRESS
225 X 20, 315 X 20, 405 X 6-10, 455 X 2, 475 X 1, 315 X 15-20, 225 X 20

INCLINE BARBELL PRESS
185 X 20, 225 X 20, 275 X 10, 315 X 8-10

INCLINE DUMBBELL PRESS
(Dumbbells only go up to 125LB at my gym)
100 X 20, 125 X 20, 125 X 15, 125 X 20, 125 X 15

DUMBBELL FLYES
60 X 12, 80 X 10, 90 X 10, 100 X 10, 110 X 10

SQUAT
225 X 20, 315 X 15, 405 X 12, 515 X 10, 600 X 5-8, 675 X 2, 700 X 1

LEG PRESS
I use leg press as a supplemental movement in addition to squats. I always squat and never use the leg press as a primary movement. A single set consists of 10 reps with my feet together to hit my outer sweep, 10 reps with my feet shoulder width apart to hit the medial portion of my quads, and 10 reps with my feet in a sumo stance to hit my inner thighs. For this compound movement, my sets and weights are as follows:

495 X 30, 585 X 30, 675 X 30, 675 X 30

FRONT MILITARY BARBELL PRESS
135 X 20, 185 X 15, 225 X 10, 275 X 5-8, 315 X 5-8

DUMBBELL OVERHEAD PRESS
80 X 20, 100 X 20, 115 X 15, 125 X 12, 125 X 12

DUMBBELL LATERAL RAISE
50 X 20, 65 X 15, 80 X 10, 80 X 10, 50 X 20

BENTOVER BARBELL ROWS
135 X 20, 185 X 20, 225 X 20, 275 X 15, 315 X 12, 365 X 6-8

ONE ARM DUMBBELL ROWS (REPS ARE PER ARM)
100 X 12, 125 X 10, 125 X 10, 125 X 10

BARBELL CURL
95 X 15, 135 X 10, 155 X 10, 185 X 5-8, 225 X 2-4, 185 X 5-8

DUMBBELL CURL
50 X 10, 65 X 10, 80 X 8-10, 90 X 4-6, 90 X 4-6, 65 X 10

CLOSE GRIP BENCH PRESS
225 X 20, 275 X 15, 315 X 12, 315 X 12, 225 X 20

LYING BARBELL TRICEPS EXTENSION
95 X 15, 135 X 12, 185 X 10, 185 X 10, 135 X 12

STIFF LEG DEADLIFT
135 X 15, 225 X 12, 275 X 10, 315 X 10, 405 X 10

SUMO STANCE DEADLIFT
(I prefer a sumo stance to a traditional one.)
225 X 20, 315 X 12, 405 X 10, 495 X 6-10, 585 X 5-8, 585 X 5-8

My personal best is 725 pounds at a bodyweight of 170 … without a squat suit, knee wraps, or belt. Powerlifters, especially, know how much help the suit and knee wraps provide. In competition, I can add an extra 100 pounds to my squat with the suit on.

SQUAT
600 X 5-8, 675 X 2, 700 X 1

Bui is squatting more than most top pros, despite weighing 100 pounds less.

He also has to move half the distance less and has a serious leverage advantage due to short limbs

Anyone here actually knows how the body works?

You guys reason short (lighter) dudes = weaker

If anything it's the other way around

I have, I'm not interested in the lift numbers btw, who cares bout that

Most people here do not grasp basic concepts

If you'd ask: who would you give a 500lbs bench, bui or much taller and heavier quincy taylor, everyone is gonna go for taylor, while no doubt bui can press more weight (regardless of what the actual number is)

yeah, but he sure ain't thick.  Bui is a narrow bodybuilder.  I'm not buying the rumor that Bui is nearly as strong as Ronnie and JoJ.  If so, this wouldn't be the first we heard of it.  It would make him one of the strongest, pound-for-pound, men on the danm planet, to be claiming those monster lifts at a BW of under 190... and being a bodybuilder, not even a powerlifter, makes it all the more incredible.

So 1 of 3 things is happening here.  He's lying, he doesn't do full-range movements, or we're learning of one of the strongest human beings ever.

You would have to see the way he performs the lifts.Branch Warren has stated on MANY occasions that he squats ass to heels,however,on his video,hes ten inches high.I believe this guy could move those kind of weights,but how is he moving them?The thing thats funny,is when you question a guys claims,you always get the "this is bodybuilding,not powerlifting" argument.However,if weights are unimportant,why claim them in the first place?Johnny Jackson said Branch can do 405X10[I think it was actually 20]then when you see his tape its 365 front press for a hard tripple.Whats the point of lying?Who cares?
Title: Re: ERik Bui poundages
Post by: The Squadfather on January 09, 2008, 07:37:07 AM
when i see proof i'll believe it until then file this one as bullshit along with JOJ's 120 pound db curls, 200 pound db inclines, 405 for 8 seated military, 405 for reps upright row and Trey Brewers bullshit claimed lifts as well.

YOu call them "Reps"  ???

If that bar touched his chest he'd be stuck.

I will say He presents a interesting accumulation of lean muscle on a small frame....

Gee, I wonder if he's slightly "Hormoneized"  ???  ;D  Where is GH15?

He did say he's  natural?

If this is the guy I think it is (if he competed in the Olympia in 2003 or 2004) he came to Kona just before the Olympia one year around 2003 maybe 2004 and was training at my Gold's Gym I had there.  He never lifted heavy.  But, he did go out and go body surfing and fucked himself up on the rocks.  We were thinking he was going to catch an infection it look so bad.  I think this is the guy.

billy nailed it right on the head a lot of these guys throw out poundages...
but when u see them on video... its a whole different story...
johnny jackson upright rows with 405 fot 8 reps..
he hardly handled 135 for a full range of movement...
....
only 2  no 3 people have put up or shut  on video.. coleman .. levrone .. and cormier...
...
most of these bbers.. i would kill them pound for pound.. and im natural
