220'S??? Don't believe it. Not full range of motion atleast.

Hell, When I was down at Metroflex two years ago, Ronnie was 325 and shoulder pressing the the 150s for 7. People don't realize just how hard that is to do. There are 220 pound dumbells there. Fuck, I can't even lift one, let alone two.

this guy walks into my gym 7'2 740lbs (yeah we all know hight and weight by simply looking) he walks up to the bench and simply by staring at the bar it started moving, simply amazing, anyway he puts on 395 and im thinking no way but sure enough he does 76 reps (yup we stand and count in front of people in the gym) then he gets up and at this point hes sweating and breathing heavy and he throws on another 8 plates on each side and he just throws it up and down, I simply lost count (yup when they do the light weight usually for more reps we dont lose count but on the real heavy that most do only a few we do lose count)

Oh before I forget he was a real nice guy too (yeah sure because when someone outsizes you you convince yourself hes a nice guy because your gay ass cant do anything about it if he was a asshole, meanwhile the 175lb kid is always a asshole)

get real people you sound stupid to those here with a half of brain

his thread is more like a bodybuilding.com thread not for here

No directly. Just what i want to say to you is that these records look enough ridiculous to make you believe anything.
Dont get me wrong. I dont say that you must believe that 220s. Just its not 100% impossible...always..

I think many of us have seen Ronnie and his incredible lifts in his videos, but not too many us have ever seen him in person lifting like that. I was curious about some of the better lifting any of you have seen in person in various gyms.
For me , it was when wroking out with former top AAU America contender , Rick Postin . This was in summer 1986 at his incredible , hardcore gym that used to be in Tampa. I was lucky enough to train with him. He did 315 for 5 decent reps press behind the neck , seated with a basic barbell at a body wt of around 230. He also did 275 for 7 reps on tricep EZ bar skull crushers.

In my book any basic barbell, DB , free wt move is a lot more impressive than a leg press or hammer machine, etc.
:DI did 9 good , strict reps a few years back with 315 on the BP in front of the freshman football players at my school. Not world class but the yound lads were impressed to see a coach do that in person.

I am getting back into basic for reps these days, any others?

I saw Dan Kovacs (powerlifter) repping with 5 plates per side on the incline bench. This was in my old gym near Pittsburgh, PA

I trained at Chester's Gym in Hickory, NC in the mid-90s.

While there, I saw powerlifter Grant Pitts (6'0", 350+) regularly rep out with the 150s on DB press at the end of his shoulder workout. He could do 405 benind the neck press for @ 5 reps. There was a picture of this between the squat racks... That was daunting, as an 18 year old, seeing a man press WAY more than I could squat! Don't get me started on what the man squatted!

Another man there, Gene Howell, 2nd (beat LaCour) in the Heavies af the first Team Universe(@ 5'8", 240), was a beast in terms of raw strength. I watched him squat 715 for 10 reps wearing a belt and wraps. No squat suit or briefs.

Finally, there's a dude in Va Beach, Jake, that runs a DSD that I have seen deadlift over 700 lbs., in a meet, at @ (I'm guessing) 210 lbs. I say guessing because he was between 198 and 242, ripped year round and not terribly tall.

Sometimes we give to charity as well.

One day, I decided to bang a "9" because I felt sorry for her.

I live to give, what can I say?

That you?

Of course not!

I said between 198 and 242 because the meet where we lifted, he was in the 242s, which is for lifters that are...

Wait for it...

Between 198 and 242 lbs.

I saw a guy about a month ago. Built guy, Did 3 sets of front squats with 8 plates. Not power lifter stuff, but the most i seen. BTW, he was wearing spandex shorts

My friend is 180 lbs. He doesn't lift. I nagged him one time to lift. Then he leg pressed 650lbs for 3 x 10 reps.

Im like WTF? He also does ball out cardio for 1 hour 2 times a day!!! Everyday!!
