Title: Shawn Ray had some strong legs
Post by: Zach Trowbridge on August 30, 2008, 08:52:29 AM


455lbs on squats, precontest, as the third exercise in his quad workout, well below parallel.  Goddamn that guy could train heavy.

actually that's either 335 or 365, there's 3 45's and either a 10 or a 25 on each side but it's still impressive with the form and the reps and yes Shawn had awesome quads.

the really impressive thing he did in that video poundage wise was doing db inclines with the 150's.

There's alot of stuff Shawn was exceptionally good at that you never heard him brag about.  Diet, training, everything else.  He was bodybuilding perfection.

He is parallel, but not well below that....

he said if he didn't keep his quads in check they could blow up like Platz , like Platz he was 5'7" those short fuckers are made for squatting

Sean Rey is NOT 5'7, he is about 5'4-5'5 MAX.

Flex was'nt strong at all for a ifbb pro.

Flex could incline 405-455 for reps, that si strong in anyones book.

Yeah, in one of his first training videos he does 495 for eight clean reps, breaking parallel with his heals elevated  :o

Fixed.  ;D

The guy has a tiny frame, probably 6.5 inch wrists, small joints etc.

Without drugs he never would have been big.

Shawn Ray was a bad ass. You can really appreciate more what a stud and personality he was/is looking back at the video clip.

Shawn is well over 5'7 and one of the strongest ifbb pros in the business. Don't let me talk about the gay gym you used to run in cali awhile ago. :-X

so do you believe you were stronger than the great Shawn Ray?

Sean you little fucking Homo, you are about 5'5-if even that, and maybe even less after Greg Reid knocked you out.

You are doing 365# squats in the vid-on drugs-that isn't shit.

I know guys who could hit 500 for 10 reps drug free at your body weight.

You're on a Flex leg press doing 16 plates-I have used 27 on that very same leg press.

You are not shit.

BTW-this guy had your midget ass beat at the 87 Cal- you know it and I know it.

Well I suppose if you're using a weight you can handle it doesn't matter too much.  I know I'd rather squat outside a rack because I'm claustrophobic like that.

Strangely that was one of his worst Olympias in 98. He came in heavier and close to his most cut but I think he got 5th. Looked awesome training in the gym but Shawn in 92, 94-95, and 97 (anyone but Dorian in top 5 really) could have won.
