yes about that.
-
depends on bodyweight. a 400lb guy benching 315 for 4 isn't strong.
-
yes about that.
the funny thing about gyms these days is that you very rarely see that anymore as much as guys say they do.

See the difference?
-
bench - at least 2x bodyweight
squat - at least 3x bodyweight
fair and square
-

well they're skinny and that's their way of life, but take a guy over 200lbs and work your way up to 200lbs and theres nothing like it.

strength is relative...
...
your strong is "your strong"
...
measuring your strength would be to base it aginast the average..
if you are above average .. then you could be considered strong

-
Great shoulders on franco in that shot above.

Strength is all relative.
There is no one measure of strength. Power to weight seems to make the most sense though.

Id have to agree with TA
-

Epic chest separation too.
-
300/400/500 club.
it makes you stronger than most humans.
Of course you can have forumulas for being strong among the strong, but this works for pwning 98% of people.
-
Right here is relative strength

yea if were talking strong compared to general public then a 300 bench makes you a god. Compared to a bunch of bodybuilders its not so great.
-
a one arm pullup and closing a # 3 gripper is strong!
-
HAHAH

Ronnie can actually bench 600 and squat 900. the 2x bodyweight bench is a great example of strenght!
-
like i said earlier, it seems like all the time i've been on getbig that i've read about at least 40 guys who could bench 405 yet in any gym i've ever been to i've seen literally 8 guys in 14 years of training do a legit 405 bench.
-

Ronnie can't do either of those things by his own admission.

You know in all the years I trained I really haven't seen to many guys bench over 400 , its rare you see some bench over 405 ! I did see a powerlifter bench 585 for a single , the whole gym stopped and watched .

personally i know i'll never bench 405..i'll be happy if one day i do a clean 275..my wrists will break with any more weight..
-

yeah i hear you. did you see the epidsode where he's hitting that guy in the hotel parking lot?... the kids a ball of fire.

Banging two chicks at the same time.....now that's strong.

i've only seen three guys in 14 years bench 5 plates on each side, one guy did a single, one Samoan dude did 4 reps with it and one guy did a very hard single.

There is a 'legend' here who posts under the handle 'Mr Intenseone' who claims a 563 lbs bench @ 181 lbs bodyweight, although I think he's dyslexic and actually wrote that instead of the truth, which is that he benched 181 lbs @ 560 lb bodyweight hahahahaha.

I have been lifting now for about 10 years and in the last 6months alone I have seen at least 10 people bench 405. Personally I have not lifted 405 but I work out with two guys who can. I have just reached the 365 feat! It all depends on what type of gym you work out in.
-

If by 'training partners' you mean spend about 90 % time in the showers soaping each other 'thoroughly' and the other 10 % of their time in the gym towelling each other dry, then yeah, I too think they must be 'training partners'

Dear Friends

I'd say in all the Gold's I've been to in the past 5 years or so, I've seen one guy bench four plates or more. He was a strong kid who worked at Auto Zone, lol. I've seen three people deadlift over 500. One of them was me and another one was my buddy Big Mike. I've seen two guys squat 500 and neither of them was me. :)

Ehh, they would've been down to barely parallel at best. Not many people put up those numbers in real life.

I have small joints too. I have to strap my left wrist because I broke it years ago then injured it again.
Have you tried strapping them?

It was 535 you Aborigines sloth!

Mr.Intenseone has held the 181 pound bench press world record for over 25+ years now. Of course there's still no proof of said bench, though. ::)

yes because 1981 was soooooooooo long ago that the camera hadn't even been invented yet.

Lets face it, even if I had a camera it wouldn't do anygood, I posted a pic of Lori doing leg press and someone said it was a 1/8 of a rep ::)....so whats the point?

i believe that she did that weight, if you post a picture of yourself even holding 535 i'll believe you too, OK?

I'd believe it if there were like 2 photos, like you halfway through the rep and it touching your chest. Of course there's nothing at all. I think if I ever set a world record, I'll hope to have proof. ::)
