Well his range of motion is 1 inch so he gets 5 spotters to hand him the bar and than help him lift it off.  :-\

It does seem a bit far fetched but 220 at 5'6" is pretty big (i didnt realise he was as big as that)

he's saying that he's stronger than onlyme who is 6'0" and at his strongest was 300 lbs. and inclined 505 for a single and flat benched 585 and is probably the best presser who posts on this board, he's lying his ass off.

Looks good, but certainly doesn't look like a physique capable of incline pressing that much weight.

Some verfiable lifts for comparison:

Anthony Clark, one of the greatest SHW bench pressers of all time, 495x3 incline press

Don Reinhoudt, one of the strongest SHW powerlifters of all time, 545x1 incline press

Dru Patrick, a current SHW powerlifter with a particular aptitude for upright pressing movements, 530x1 incline press

Thats cool I was only doing 440 !!!

Ok what about lee priest whom I have been with when he has smacked out 4 1/2 plates aside on the incline smith for like 10 reps !!! where does that put him in the scheme of things, plus my training partner of 6 years whom could bench 6 plates a side for like 3-5 reps ,and could Db curls 55kgs for reps , and could shoulder press the 90kg db,s for 6 reps or so , where does that put these guys

Dude I would love to show that but I wont be , cause like I have already said I lifted very heavy way back when I was competting and weighed around 250 lb bulked up and juiced up, now I weigh around 210 lb(clean) and have only been back training sort off hard for around a year after taking a year completly off, at best now I could probibly manage 5 plates a side for a couple of reps as I havnt been under the squat rack seriuosly for years and I could manage about 3 plates a side on the incline , ( I did do 5 plates a side on the hammer incline tho the other day which I was impressed with)
I am not trying to shit any one here , jsut at my strongest I lifted some pretty descent weight , I could always out lift most of the big guys in some movements like the squat , the incline press and the leg press , remember I am not very tall and was juiced to the max ( well my max any how), but there were always guys stronger than me that I asure you !!

I believe it's possible. Shorter guys usually have favorable leverage. You also don't have to be very big to be blessed with great neuromuscular efficiency.

Post by: Van_Bilderass on February 27, 2006, 12:53:18 AM
5-6 reps with 495 @ 250 would pretty much make him the best incliner ever. Unlikely. Probably had a guy spotting him if he had that weight on... you know, the type of guy who says "it was all you" but pulls from the first rep.  ;D

I love these claims of huge lifts.Funny,these super strong men,who outlift most every powerlifter I know of,never go on a powerlifting platform and prove it.Anyone can say I do this or that,but unless you can prove it who freaking cares.As far as this guys claims,well,if hes talking smith machine then its possible.If hes talking free weights then he would be among the strongest bench pressers on earth.Somehow I doubt he is that.You know,I think there are only 20-27 guys who have nenched 600 raw in a meet,but incredibly,according to many of these bodybuilders,just about everyone can do it or come close.545X4-5 reps should give you a 600 bench.Why so many legends of strength on the internet,but so few in a meet.

  I took 5 Universal N1T caps before training (I find them fantastic for strentgh) plus a serve of creatine !! I have been clean now for 3 years , I did try some test 5 months ago but got a infecteded shoulder after my second week of being on so I said F@#k that, I dont want all this shit over again and stopped !!!I have been useing ZMA and N1T and find at beneficial strentgh wise and good for my sex drive.

DUDE!  A smith machine is not the same as freeweights.  Please stop posting about your amazing strength feats on the smith machine.  Nobody cares.  The fact is you can not now and you never could freeweight incline press 585 or whatever it is you claim.

Hey who said anything about  585 you knob, I said I have done 440 before at my strongest, (actualy it would be 460 with the bar wouldnt it ) and yes I know the smith machine is different than free, I was just giving a example where I am at now , and if you dont care so much why you reading this right now !!!

Because you care , thats why , thanks for careing , im touched !!

Maybe some of you guys need to start trying to lift heavy , I used to train with Cathy Millian, one of the stongest women in the world , and she would destroy you guys , I always trained with this in mind , how do you know if you cant lift it , if you dont try to lift it !!

Actually, in another thread you said 495 for 5 or 6 reps so we're both wrong.  Either way you make it sound like its a freeweight press.  By the way I train for strength and actually compete so there is no reason for you to try and give me advice about strength training, thanks.

Did I say it or did some elese say it , it is actualy 484lb total including bar, we work in Kgs so each plate is 20kg and the bar is 20 kgs also, times that by 2.2 !!

Dont know what the big fuss is all about , I know heaps of guys who could/can out lift me, its just that at the incline I was pretty good , but like I said I was not that good at the flat bench !!

Let me assure Mr.Rainbow of this,Cathy Millen couldnt outlift me on ANY movement on ANY day.Dont group everyone in together.Some of us actually compete,have big numbers and do use our real names.You see,unlike you,there are some of us whos numbers are known or can be found by a simple google search.These numbers are done in front of judges and on a platform.We dont need to speculate or exagerate because they are what they are and in my case,Cathy Millan couldnt touch my numbers.You seem like another bodybuilder who likes to brag on his numbers,but when your caught out there you change your tune.Can you or could you ever bench 545X3-5?I doubt it very seriously,because if you could you would actually be stronger then Eddy Coan and Kirk Karwaski on the bench and somehow I doubt you are or doubt you were.

You seem very deffensive over this issue, are you feeling a little bit pressured ?? I couldnt bench 545 to save my arse , if you actualy took time to read this you will see that at my best I did incline with 5 plates aside which equats to 480 and I also stated more than once that I was better at incline than flat bench (still am), if memorie serves me right my best benching was done with about 420(4 plates and a 5kg each side) for around 5-6 reps odd !!
So based on that what ever records you hold with all your powerlifting training and your wrist straps and power suit and whatever ,I am sure they are very safe along with your pride that goes with them !!

no you said the weight was 440, and if we included the bar it would naturally be 460. Hence you said the bar was 20lbs, not 20KG's. Youre backtracking too fast to realise just exactly what bollox it is you said, so get over it and move on

You'll never get these clowns to prove it though - they'll always sidestep the chance to set the record straight. Watch them run a mile at the site of a tapemeasure, scales, or a video camera come training time!! You never see bodybuilders turning up at powerlifting meets to prove their shit do you? Cause smithmachines, spotters, and half reps aren't f**kn allowed thats why!!!

But if are meaning they are powerlifters doing bodybuilding you still have no piont as this is 2 guys out of how many powerlifters in this world , it is relivant to numbers , most powerlifters have no desire to be a bodybuilder and vice versa with bodybuilders , and most powerlifters I know of who are worth their salt are in no shape to enter a show due to many years of powerlifting movements and eating stratigies !!

And you will probibly find that powerlifters dont claim to have 3% body fat and 21 inch arms because they dont have 3% body fat and 21 inch arms !! whats your piont !!

Well if your not jealous you must realy dislike me , which in that case means you need to get a life because if someone is abel to enter your head space via a internet discussion board and truly f@#k with you and make you so mad and hatefull you cant have much elese going on in your life now can you !!!

Go get your self a hobby like painting with water colours or patch work or something a little less taxing on your emotions , that way you may not be so concerned on my ablitys and may just find you have hidden talents of your own !!!

Actauly my son probibly wont be a bodybuilder as he was born with no pectorial muscle on his left side, it does not hinder him in any way beleive it or not and is not that noticable at his age of 10 but I guess he will be concious of it when he gets older at which time if it is a problem he can get a implant , at the moment he doesnt care about it , but he has started saying he would like to go to the gym with me, he thinks I am the strongest dad in the world, but he is going to play soccer this year which I am looking forward to !!

Hey Mr.Rainbow,again,you group ALL powerlifters together.Sorry,once again your wrong.I competed in two bodybuilding shows last year THE NPC NEW ENGLANDS and THE EAST COAST USA both in May,[this was 6 months aftet totaling 2120 at 275 in a power meet.].I won the masters in both and placed 5th and 4th in the open.Nothing great,and I certainly have no future or real potential in the sport and realise that Im just a very average bodybuilder,but I did it just to show that I could get in shape anytime I wanted to.So,once again,you have assumed something that turns out to be compltely false.Again,there are some of us that post here that actually put our reputations on the line all the time.We dont need to become internet icons or get famous off of somebody elses accomplishments,or live through others feats.We actually compete and let that do our talking.As far as being defensive,yes,when a guy who has no clue of who Iam or what I lift, claims a women could burry me in strength,then I get a bit pissed off about that as Ive been training hard for 25 years and take pride in the strength Ive built.So,sorry pal,I cant speak for other powerlifters,but this is one powerlifter who also competes in bodybuilding as well.

Billy I wasnt being specific in my claims about Cathy, it is just the way you took it that made it so,Cathy held the world record for a female bench and could routenly out lift most guys in the gym, and in making this statement I was generalising the fact,I know full well there are many many guys out there stronger than Cathy, I was stronger than Cathy, the piont I was making was ,there are alot of guys out there that I know of or have seen over the 20years I have been involved in this sport that are very very strong indeed , that will never compete in any powerlifting show to prove there strength capablitys for it is not what they are about , and the piont of useing Cathy as a example of strength was to basicly say to the guys whom doubted my claim on the incline bench was that, there are alot of strong people in this sport and I happen to know one ,a feamle, who could probibly out lift the most of you. Remember this all started because someone said they saw mark Dugdale doing 5 plate aside incline presses and I said , yeah I can easily beleive that because at one time I to could do that as well !!!
  In regards to your competition in bodybuilding I aplaude you , to acheive something like that at any level takes courage dedication and a will that 99% of this world will never ever experiance, I have always said when I was competiting that as long as I can be the best I can be on the day then I can stand proud , and it seems to me you are a very proud man of your feats,and to be proud of your acheivements in life is a very special thing indeed , well done , my hat goes of to you !!

No problem.Yes,there are VERY strong bodybuilders out there.I have trained in the same gym as Renel Janvier and he was VERY VERY strong.I dont think those guys could get that type of developement without pushing big weights.I just dont no why there are so many that exaggerate lifts.You know,bodybuilding isnt about big lifts.If a bodybuilder can only bench 425 but looks like he can bench 650,why lie and say I can bench 600.Their build speaks for itself.If I looked  like a pro bodybuilder I wouldnt care what people thought I could lift.Anyway,I know of Cathys exploits and she was a beast,I just have enough trouble trying to keep up with the younger guys without having someone say a women is stronger as well,although Im sure that will be the case very soon.

Looks good, but certainly doesn't look like a physique capable of incline pressing that much weight.

No it doesn't. In the real world your physique only hints at your possible capabilities. Bodybuilders in a vain attempt at validity tend to inflate numbers,use fake weights, and various other means to show their appearent verility, athleticism, and health.

I stood right next to billy at both shows...he came down to 210 for one of them an 220 for the other..he came down from over 300+ pounds. That in itself is unreal. While his shape isnt the best his conditioning was better then most of the young guys as well. He was absolutely ripped and a really nice guy. I talked with him alot an we had fun batteling it out on stage. I almost shit when i saw his 924 squat as well. Billy lives in both worlds an not many can say that...hes a super heavy elite Pl'er and a shredded bodybuilder when he needs to be. Anyone who can do that gets my respect. EVerything billy is telling you is the honest truth...although billy you didnt like the ridicolous npc fees did ya..lol

You know I have to agree, every time I see a photo of myself I think , Dammmm I sure as hell aint pretty !!!

But you gotta give me some slack those 2 bottom photos are of me when I had taken a year of the gym and let myself "Relax" a bit and I got "a little puffy in the face", actualy the girl in the bottom picture is called Angela whom I was helping and she went on to get runner up Nabba Miss Universe !! awesom.

Actualy I am looking a bit better now, but still as ugly as hell !!

Oh and Billy, Renel Janvier --- I was there when he won the worlds in Aussie, he was amazing , I was blown away by his condition and look (as was every one elese) I think I have a photo of me and him some where !!!

Five plates on each side of the bar is 495.  The incline press is cheated almost as much as squats and leg pressess. A small range of motion will give anyone big lifts.  I have seen guys do half reps in the incline and claim it was almost all the way down.  When they are asked why they don't do the exercise properly they mumble something about it's dangerous to come all the way down.  The truth is that if they went all the way down they would have to remove so much weight that is would hurt their ego.  Another way I've seen guys cheat on inclines is moving their butt off the bench so that it's almost a prone bench.

The only thing Rainbow has been pressing as of late is his gay lover.  And from what I hear, his rom on that is pretty limited to, although he' s supposedly putting in high reps.

Dude your right I couldnt get it of the rack, due to the nature of the bench set up the rack is set back from the seated posistion thus making near impossible to get ideal leverage to get it up and over to the desired posistion for pressing , thats why a training partner helps you out with this movement , Shit dude dont you no anything about training , I mean do you even go to a gym ???, or do you even know any one called Jim at least, and how can you comment on me in a bulked up state when there are no pics of me in a bulked up state on this board ??? The pictures on here are of me when I took a year OFF training and cear and lost around 15kg of weight , which can be expexcted. but you beleive what you wanna beleive but trust me there are plenty of guys out there who can regulary move this type of weight , but since you can never ever see yourselfs doing such, the best you can do is dissbeleive any one who can , or could (couldnt get close now though ), remeber I never had said I am or was a marvel of strength , all I said is I have done that way back when !!!

LOL. It should be very easy to unrack that weight if you're doing five reps with it. I have no trouble unracking the weight by myself even when doing a max single.

You're obviously using partial and/or assisted reps, which is why you don't have the strength to unrack the weight. What a clown.

Benching, incline or flat, is one excercise where you really should have someone spotting you when doing a max single.

Hey toolarge4u.Are you doing the shows this year?Unfortunately for me,Ive had a rough year after those May shows.I tore my hammy in a meet in June trying to lift at 242.I squatted 700 missing 750,benched 500 missing 530 and ripped a hammy on a 660 deadlift[pathetic really].After that,I tried to lift in the IPA nationals at 308 in Nov.[I weighed 296].My training had gone really well but on my opening squat of 820,I lost my balance and tried to recover by stepping back and ruptured my pattelar tendon and broke my knee cap and fractured my ankle.This marked my 3rg surgery over the last 12 months[great sport].So,now Im rehabbing and trying to get back to compete in Nov.Then Im going to try and do the New Englands in bodybuilding again in May 2007 and hopefully qualify for masters nationals just to say I stepped on a national bodybuilding stage once in my life[not really concerned if I get crushed].
Do you have a video of any of the shows last year?Id love to get one.Let me know bmimnaugh@yahoo.com.Hope the training is going well.
