No, I am sure he doesnt.  He has his partner PRONE and a little more 'strategically placed'

"greater muscularity" is a vague, debatable term. That there are people with lager muscles gained without drugs is beyond debate.

SF is that a typo? 400+lb weighted dips ???

That would be seriously impressive

No typo.

He holds a "world record" for doing one rep weighing 198 + 435 lbs. And reps with 400 (or just below 400, don't remember).

Here is one of him weighing 185 doing dips with 2 people hanging off of him:

that's what a number of people who saw him train said he could do, i think John Grimek himself backed the claim up.

Read up Marvin Eder. He's not a fraud or anything, but widely held as pound for pound one of the strongest guys ever.

He trained with reg Park at one point, I believe. Doing squats with 550 and 400 lb BB rows.

He was a serious beast. One of the strongest men who EVER lived.

His pull-ups were insane too.

He once won a muscle beach contest doing 10 reps on dips with his bodyweight + 4 children....!!

He couldn't afford weights as a kid so he did dips and chins (weighted) all day long at the playground.

He did a 220 lb dip (one rep) at age 16 I think.

Pat Casey, who benched 600, looked up to Marvin and his dipping abilities and "copied" them - and pushed almost as heavy weights on dips.

There's also an article from 51 I think - he peaked in 53 I believe - that describes Marvin doing 8 sets of 10 reps with 220 lbs tied to his waist. Normal training.

His stats are so widely documented and backed up I see no reason to doubt them.

yeah Pat was known to do dips swith 300 punds plus his bwt. of around 310, also inclined a pair of 215's for 5, the first legitimate 600 pound bencher.

hahahaha, what a freak of nature, try to get most "pros" these days to do even one set of dips with just bodyweight.

PAt Casey was a f--- beast.

I think it's pretty cool he looked up to Marvin and basically "copied" his insanely heavy dips.

Marvin Eder and Doug Hepburn once had a muscle beach contest where Hepburn got his ass handed to him when Marvin did like 8 one-arm chin-ups. lol

It's sad more pros don't do heavy dips.

No one has even come CLOSE to dipping what Eder and Casey did.

HAHA that's the truth! or their sloppy form on the lat pulldown machine - most of them can't even do a pullup/chinup!

That's impressive stuff. I can see why you are "MarvinEderFan" now :)

Me too. In fact I will do them tomorrow.

I've done bw 230 (while fat) + 144 lbs for 6 reps and 3 reps with 155 lbs and 2 reps with 166 lbs. Not spectacular, but ok.

I once did 35 sets of dips in one workout. Total tonnage of 32 or something. lol

Seeing the pics of Eder dipping so upright prompts me to be even more upright doing dips. Will try it tomorrow.
