In the radio interview - tribute to Ronnie, Brian Dobson (the owner of Metroflex) said that Ronnie front squated 600 pounds for reps, 700 pounds bend over rows and incline pressed 220 pound dumbells for 14 reps....said that they didn't recorded these feats of strength on camera and that they wished they did.....
Wow if these are true claims.....Ronnie is superhuman...discuss :)
-
no way 700lb rows
the rest i could almost believe
-
I definetely believe the squat and press.
-
It's ronnie we are talking about, why would Brian make this shit up? If there is one guy who doesn't need to have fake stats its Ronnie..

with the 700 pound rows, he probably meant t-bar rows. Didn't he put 12 or 13 plates on.

Maybe he meant that........

i would believe t bar, but not bb bent over rows
-
hes on video squatting over 800 actually, and doing 200lb's for 14-15 reps. He barbell rowed 405-495 not 700. Its all in his vids ????? You people new to internet and bodybuilding?
-
no on the 700 pound rows and 220 pound db inclines for 14 but the front squats i believe, he did 585 for 4 on the Unbelievable.

Yo Squad I've done 150's for 8, and I'm a tiny tit. I think Ronnie could manage 220's for 14.

nope, sorry man but that claim ain't gonna fly, look at it this way, Pat Casey the first man to bench 600 plus top set was 5 with a pair of 215's and he was way stronger than Ronnie on the bench press, i believe what he did on the Unbelieveable which was a pair of 200's for 7 half reps was his all time best and that's still fuccking amazing.

220's

no they weren't dumbass, they were 200's, i have the video and he did half reps with them.
-
thats after he did.. working sets up to 200lbs for 12 easy reps on the flat bensh..
so yes i believe he can definetly do 220's easy..
for all we know on unbelivable that could be a bad day for him...
220s would be nothing if he did inclines first...
forget what anybody else did
-

Sorry dipshit, i haven't watched the vid in a while. too busy working and stuff like that, you know, life.
I thought he did 220's in one of his vids...could be wrong though.

IDK, since I've never handled a dumbell over 160. I can imagine the difficulty of just balancing a dumbell that heavy but I still think Ronnie might be able to do it.
Benching is quite different than pressing dumbells, and I've seen guys who bench 100 lbs more than me but couldn't handle 130's.
Who knows, you might be right.

Yeah i think i believe all those claims but only because it is ronnie. If i can millitary press 100's at 150 pounds in my weakest and dryest state i believe he can easily do 220 on incline.
-
I'm calling bull on all of it, 600lbs front squats for reps? There are World class OL SHW lifters that wouldn't be able to handle that. And they practice the lift daily. I'd give Ronnie maybe a single high above parallel with that type of weight.
220lbs dumbbells for 14? Sorry, I really think even the best bench pressers in the World would have a tough time with that. These huge ass shirt numbers that folks see at meets have really warped people's idea of how hard a real 440lbs for 14 reps in the bench press really is.
Heck, even balancing and getting the dumbbells into position would be a laudable strength feat.
Etc......

on flat he did them for 12, on incline i belevie it was 9. keep in mind he was 5 weeks out of a show dude, at probably 3-4%bodyfat, he was absolutely shredded in those videos.
at 320 or so i can easily see it, that would be 30-40 pounds more bodyweight, so its beleivable.

wait a minute, are you saying you pressed 100's for full reps, Leafy?

fucck man, 100's at 150 bodyweight? if that's true that's one of the best feats of strength compared to bodyweight i've heard of, shit that's what 75 percent of bodyweight on shoulder presses with ONE ARM. :o

yeah, i call bs. notice that he did it at "his weakest" too.... ::)

take some time and read the first post you jerk, if you don't know any words, ask.

sound about right...
anyway why would they lie...

Would you really say they were half reps Squadfather? I didnt think he could really press them any further...mainly as the 'bells were so long.
-
I would believe Ronnie's lifts. I assume they meant T-bars, so yes i can imagine he would be capable of that. Squat, definietly capable of that. Incline press, maybe. We've all seen the vid of him doing the 200's on flat bench for reps. I believe he could do 220's on incline, but not for 14.
And leafy, sorry man, but i just don't buy your claim. If it is true, thats crazy then.

i cant even look at the 100's let alone press them. if its true, leafy bug is a thug.
-

Yeah i agree, they weren't half reps, the dumbbells were just so damn big that they would be kinda awkward to press. And he did 12 reps with the 200's i believe.

for sure, its just watch the video. 200īs for 12. Yeah, not text book form (as almost anyone know its not Ronnie style) but i doubt anyone here will say its easy to do that just because his form is not perfect ;)

ronnie could deadlift new york city if he wanted
-
ronnie could handle 220lbs dumbbells for a few reps im sure...he did 200 for 12....on the flat db press
id say maybe 5 reps with 220lbs
front squats with 600lbs is def beliavable ...maybe 2-3 reps.
700lbs rows? cant be barbell rows. and i doubt very much he could do rows in the corner with that weight either....maybe a couple of "shrug reps".
-

yes they were half reps and i'd tell him that to his face, the size of the bells has nothing to do with how far you bring them down.

calm down tiger...form police ::)
-
take some time and read the first post you jerk, if you don't know any words, ask.
i stated the lifts he has actually done on video dipshit. In other words if he did 800 squat on fucking vid or 200 for 14 press on vid or maybe the 585 front squat on vid then why would these no vid claims be such a big stretch ya fucking asshat. Esp considering he did these a few years ago. Some people can get stronger in the gym cupcake
-

you dont know what your talking about if you think theses were half reps, one is touching his chest and stopping just short of lockout, and the other is a little higher. form is as good as any for a bodybuilder or gym lift. theres no fucking judges there. would you like him to go through his chest and lockout? locking out is bad form for muscle growth an puts alot of stress on the joints, its just stupid to do.
also, he is about 4% bodyfat there, add 40 pounds bodyweight(offseason) and he could do 220's on incline for a nice few reps i imagine. take him up too the 20% bodyfat of most powerlifters and dude is DEFINITELY doing 220"s for that much.

bullshit, he didn't touch his chest on ONE of the incline reps and you're using the same tired bullshit "locking out is bad for the joints" excuse that every partial repper makes, let me find a picture of Pat Casey pressing the 215's to show you what a REAL rep looks like.

is there a vid of ronnie doing inclines then? I was basing my judgement on the vid where he's doing flat presses with the 200s...

it's on the SAME VIDEO after he does the flats, he does flat db, incline db and flat flyes.

I dont have the full video i'm afraid so cant really comment. Does he do 200's on incline as well then?
-

i take that back, he does three quarter reps, he comes about 2-3 inches from his chest, check out the 30 second mark.

700lb BORows is horseshit
220lb db inclines for 14 is horseshit.......maybe 4-6, but 14? horseshit
600lb front squats for a few reps I'll buy.

the flat bench, perfect form.
cant find the inclines, but your not suppose to touch your chest, i take it you never did any kinesiology in school? it is a recipe for a torn rotator, look how low the elbows go when you bring it down that far.

LOL, one dumbell is literally a half inch from his chest, the other one is like 2 inches. he always reps shit all fucked up like that. in redemption his flat bench is on an angle and shit, probably why he injured one side.
your a jew if you think locking out is proper form for hypertrophy, its just showing how ignorant you are.

3 quater reps with heavy poundage is actually harder then full locked out reps. I start to do full locked out reps when i get too tired to handle the weight.
-

yes it is, i lock out on heavy sets because it gives my chest a break from the weight. squadfather is just a real fat dude that doesnt workout.

I think ronnie can do it as i can do 405 for 5 and he is 70 pounds heavier than me

I beleive Ronnie can do the 220`s for 14 reps.
You gotta` fugure that in The Unbeleivable,he did the 200`s albeit it in not quite textbook form,but,he was training for a contest and only a few weeks out.
Off-season when he is heavier,the 220`s seem possible.
