LOL..Good luck dude. For all he has accomplished it is only convenient he does not have any footage of these mythical lifts. Yeah...you may get a pic of him next to his buddies 70's muscle car or one of those fake pictures with a 3rd tier celebrity where you can tell they have no clue who he is...lol. Don't forget the Gillette commercial.... ::)
Well at least the dude has memories no matter how distorted they seem to be.
-
I remember Onlyme stating that his Bench and military press (seated) were his major lifts
I don't think he ever squatted alot ( under 405 if i remember correctly)
he was a great presser
-
onlyme was a standup comedian before his carreer in the bodybuilding and fitness industry.
-
I think Keiths specialty was behind the neck presses, somethin like 315 for reps

kieth was known for making young children cry by wiping out Mcdonald's whole stock just before school finishing hours.

Now his diabetes has hit a critical point that most never come back from. Sad really. He is a good guy.

Windsor we know you are gay but is this your way of picking up on me. Sorry honey. See instead of chasing around people on a board like you do I actually have done things in my life. You on the other hand claim to fame with your boyfriend and parents is that you can type on an internet board. Keep it up cause someday you will marry your life partner and maybe adopt a baby and live happily ever after. And my proof is anybody you want to call who has seen me. Call anyone in Honolulu in the powerlifting circle or at Gold's Gym and ask them what I lifted. See back in my day we just lifted and did it in front of people. Unlike you and others you take fake pics, use fake weight and video tape them. Sorry son, you fail greatly. In fact call up Gene Mozee who is a Hall of Fame photographer and I think he'll remember me. The people who know me and seen and know something about lifting know better. People like you are a joke, you mean nothing to anyone and you have no business being on a board like this. But, since this is the internet you now have a way to acheive stardom. In your little world you have made it and I feel good for you. But in real life you failed and I feel sad for you. Hope this helps
To answer the question. My best bench was 585. My best deadlift was 735. My best seated front press was 405 for a few. My best squat was about 405 simply because I never went over that nor did I squat much. I was I guess a good presser they say. When I did these lifts I was on Test. Cyp 200mg. for 6 months. After that 6 months I quit and have never done anything ever again. Almost 10 years later I inclined pressed the most I ever have done and that was 505. For kids who know nothing and can't fathom lifts like this cause they are small and weak, call anyone in Honolulu who trained with Francis Silva back in the early 90's. If you know anything and you know your powerlifting and have hung around real strong people you will know who to call. WIndsor I DO NOT expect you to know anything. But, hey you still can type good

By the way my glucose in below 90 so again you fail. Man is today the day you own yourself for a record high.

Awesome front press man, and all on pretty low amounts of gear, if any,i know guys on 10 times that who cant lift anywhere near those poundages

i trained through the late 80s/early 90's and there were alot more powerful lifters back then. guys that i knew used less gear and trained way harder. i won't even talk about the kind of lifts i witnessed, but i wish videocameras were acceptable back then. nobody videotaped workouts, they were there to train. i have know doubt that Keith was every bit as strong as he says, it just never occured to anyone back then to document it.
-
Great lifts Keith!!
I`m with Hazbin,I`ve seen some awesome lifts back in the day in the gym,and at meets.
Below paralell squats,legit deadlifts,and none of this silly benchshirt shit.
Lifting belt,knee wraps,and chalk were the support gear of the day.
Lots of posers in the gyms these days who train like pansys and just up the dosage to make gains.

just goes to show that some guys are born to press or squat or whatever, i have a feeling that Keith has always been a strong guy.

I think that's a key factor in why bodybuilders today look like crap compared to their counterparts from the 90s and a bit before. Guys back then emphasized training over everything else (not all of them, of course) while the guys nowadays are training light and just focusing on the right cocktail to take. That's why we've got guys who weigh more, but have very little maturity, separation, conditioning etc - they just don't look impressive anymore, with their damn guts and thick skin and all that.

Almost 10 years later I inclined pressed the most I ever have done and that was 505.
Haha. I couldn't even squat that. Amazing! :o

Very impressive Keith and I feel, unlike a lot of people, you are being very honest about your lifts and not exagerating. They are especially good considering the minute amount of test involved.

As Hazbin and some of the others said, we had no thoughts of taking a camera to the gym back then. They were not little pocket camera like nowadays. I just lifted. I didn't think about having to prove it cause the only guys I was showing off for at the time were in the gym with me. There was no internet and the cell phone just became available. How I wish I had that shit back then so I could show everyone. Cause I didn't think it was such a big deal. Seeing guys bench 400+ was something I saw literally everyday I was at the gym. I took ONLY the Test and I took 1cc a day for 6 months straight and then quit literally overnight. I had a goal of benching 600 by the World Championships and the day before I left I tried it. The picture below is taken that day. I weighed 299 and did the 585. I did it easy enough to try the 600 but it just came down. I think I pysched myself out plus I think I did to many warmup sets. But I never tried it again. I didn't start lifting really heavy again till around 90' when I would train with the big boys in Hawaii. You have to be strong to hang in with those guys. They did find it odd that I would not jump-in on the incline till they were at 315 or sometimes 405. I would do a few extra reps on the flat bench and didn't need to warm-up.
Believe me if I wanted to up my poundages I would. I consider some of my lifts very low compared to what others have done. My seated press is pretty good. My shoulders have always been strong since I was a kid. I know gymnastics helped my strength since I had been doing that since around 3rd or 4th grade till 8th grade. Ray trained me and he had me train very heavy. I also had another partner Jim Rowland who was unreal. He was strong and he had UNREAL biceps. A really good guy.
Anyway, I know the guys who were around back in the 70's, 80's and early 90's can relate. The newbies like Windsor and the non-experienced guys like AssHoleLick have no idea what real training is. And I really do wish I had pics of me training

they didn't have cameras back in the days of Arnold either.

Impressive lifts, 200mg of cyp :o, all brute strength.
-
Yip Keith comes across as a Very Matter of fact person..........take it or leave it, and its quiet obvious he was a very strong powerful bloke who just call's it as he see's it, and has done alot in his time (prime yrs) anyway all the best with getting yr health and weight under control again Keith.

I couldn't squat, bench, or dead what he could curl. :-\
-
I can verify Keith's lifts and also inform one and all that he knows a hell of a lot of good people and has done more for those less fortunate with no financial remuneration or publicity, unlikely many others I know who won't pitch in to lend a helping hand unless someone is there with a checkbook or covering the event in the news. No names will be mentioned but that's a fact and Keith knows who they are too damn well.
As for cameras during Arnold's time, he thrived on photos when he looked good and the physique photographers were usually there to cover his training. Arty Zeller was one in particular and there were many others whom I never met or ever heard about.
Arnold on the covers sold enough magazines so Keith was never in much demand by the Weider bros.
Needless to say. Weider never needed photos of Keith no matter how many hundred of pounds he out-lifted Arnold.

I have always had cameras but never recorded any record attempts done in the gym. Like Keith said, we didn't need proof. I don't even have a movie of my posing routines. Digital cameras make it much easier to take photos and not waste money on film. Still, I don't see too many people taking photos of guys lifting unless it is a contest. Those of us who didn't enter powerlifting contests just did our lifts in the gym with one or two guys spotting.
The funny thing about the internet is there is no way to prove or falsify any statement. Even if someone supported what we said or did others could claim they were gimmicks, etc.
Keith once beat John Breznk in arm wrestling. Now, that is some feat. John is the best arm wrestler of all time. Most guys on Getbig with 14 and 15 inch arms dream of benching 250 or maybe 300 pounds. I mean, would they believe anyone has actually done over 500?!

Yeah Vince, we are so unfortunate to have missed the oportunity to see you bust out 3 shaky reps with 185 on the bench press....
::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::)

Wow let me explain this one to you (since it is obvious you lack quite a but in the brain) See he was a bodybuilder who made his living posing in front of the camera and training. See the difference or are you truly that ignorant. If not I am sorry for you even more than I am now.

Thanks Johhny and Wes

onlyme seems like a cool guy,basiclly just be respectful with him and hell be respectful towards you,pretty simple.hes been there and done that and should get the credit for it,i think its cool to hear his back in the day stories.ive never seen him be a dick to someone who wasnt a dick to him first,i guess in keiths defense it can get frustrating when some of these little obnoxiuos worms on here call him a liar about his past credentials and encounters.he always has reputable people co signing for him on here so i dont know why people keep doubting the man

Hey, there always has to be someone. I have no problems with them though. They are just inexperienced and sheltered. I find it amazing how many people on here talk shit yet they have never been in a gym or live in some town or village where they are the best there is. Like AssHoleLick. He must live in some retard colony set aside by the government. That's the only explanation to his stupidity.

That was 200mg of cyp a day not a week , so not minute.
Not taking anything away from big keith cos he is indeed a muthafukin animal and power house and its more than just drugs that had him lift those amounts..
If I ran that amount of test I doubt Id be able to lift what he did, the big fulla has my respect.

Keith is a get big legend.
-
one word:
Spider ;D
-
I remember OnlyMe back in the day when I lived in the Torrance/Redondo Beach area. He's the real deal, bitches. Show respect.
BTW Keith, I thought you mentioned once that you did a cycle where you shot an amp of sus every other day to gauge the effect and was at your strongest. 200mg/wk test cyp is just barely over HRT (which I think is around 100-150mg/wk)

Keith has said he ran 200mg a day for 6 months when he hung with the barbarians..Im sure he will confirm this..sorry if that info is wrong Keith.

dude is the real deal
he lived more in 10 years than 10 years of 100 people combined on here....some wallys on here never leave the backwater of Ohio or Missouri or whatever fuck they grew up
Q. Where you in Hawaii when Arnold did his short stint?

Kind of. I benched 500 at 248 in 82 or 83. Totally drug free at the Original World Gym. I was also won the Nationals in 83' drug free. I did start until I was told by every other armwrestler that EVERYONE takes steroids in that sport and if I was that strong and good not taking them if I took them I would kick ass. Also, almost 10 years later I was still benching over 500 and inclined the highest I ever have at 505. In fact up until the summer of 2006 I was BNP 315 for reps and benching 405 for reps. That is 20 years after taking anything. I have gone done in strength where benching 225 was hard and then one month later I am back up to doing 315 for reps easy. I am lucky cause I think I have good muscle memory. I know the Test helped me alot though. It got me heavier and stronger and harder.

I didn't do a cycle, I did maybe a few shots over a two week period or something like that but I almost immediately started getting zits on my back. I have usually very smooth and tan skin so they stuck out and I quit immediately. Plus the girlfriend I had at that time noticed them very fast and said something.

No I wasn't around them when I was on. I hung around them when I moved to Hawaii. It was around 90' or so when we started to hang around and mostly while in Hawaii. I trained with them a few times in LA when I visited. So, it was quite few years after I was off is when I trained with them and they told me I was one of the only people who could keep up with them. And I wasn't as strong as I was before. The hardest thing we did that I felt was the lateral raises (DB). We would start at 60's or 70's and do 4 to 6 reps, then go down at 5 lb increments and slightly raise the number of reps. SO by the time we were down to the 5 lb dumbells we had to do them 25 times. It was hilarious watching us (how big we were) doing 5 lb DB's and struggling so hard with them where we barely did them. People who just walked in or didn't see us from the beginning thought we were joking. We did 2 sets of these and they killed me (us). And you do not rest at all between sets. It is unreal.

What did your PL buddies take back then, hazbin?

hahaha.

i never really talked to them about what they used. myself, i would use whatever i could get cheap, and not much of it. 1991 was my biggest and strongest and nobody would believe how little i was taking. years later, i used way more, but my head wasn't into hard training and i never got back the size and strength i had with low dose and crazy intense workouts.

Keith, tell us more about the barbarians!!

no, i bought a gym in 1992 and pretty much just trained off and on since
