Title: King Kamali : 585x6 flat bench
Post by: Cleanest Natural on December 17, 2008, 02:19:18 PM
In the positive section King Kamali claimed 585x6 on flat bench ...Maybe I'm not doin the math right but he benches 90 lbs more than Coleman for 1 extra rep ??????????

This is at his strongest...

Worst genetics for arms I have ever seen. Milos has better arms than Kamali.

BTW, he looked better in 1984 than he did in 1988.  :-X

I do have to say that he DID make some sick improvements from 1988 to 1991, but again, he looked better in 1991 than he did in 2001.

To me, Kamali is like Cutler. HORRIBLE genetics for bodybuilding, YET, they both didn't let that stop them, even though it should have.

He probably did it in the style that he trains in. I know it is loose with spotters, and I want to say not full range.

Here is the Rumor I heard...More or less...

In New York a couple years back, he ran his mouth and couldn't back it up...Some dude was in the gym and did 12 reps with 405 on the flat bench like it was nothing...Rumor has it that King kept telling "his buddies" that it was OK but nothing close to "his league"...King would throw as many 45's on the smith and have countless spotters help him move the weight a couple inches...When the guy found out about King's comments. The guy was waiting for Kings chest day to come up and sure as shit King started warming up chest(the guy even had a buddy ask King what he was training that day)...He went over to king and the had words and the guy said lets see what you got...But only on a real machine...After King warmed up to 225 on the smith machine flat bench, King said your lucky I just did chest yesterday, blah blah blah or some shit like that...When asked about warming up chest, King stated something like " I always like to stretch the muscle I trained the day before"...Well needless to say, King disappeared from the gym the next day and wasn't seen for weeks if not months later...By then, he stopped doing flats on the smith and complained of an injury altogether...Who knows how true this story is...But it makes alot of sense about the way King used to train and the fact that he is throwing out retarded numbers like these...

Post by: kiwiol on December 18, 2008, 01:54:17 AM
As a general rule, you can't really say how much a person can lift based just on what they look like, but in King's case, given the kind of guy he is who takes a million pics in the gym and outside throughout the year, you can bet he'd have tons of pics and videos of him doing said feat if he really did do it, which I don't think he can. I doubt he can even do 405 lb. 315 for a few reps on the smith machine with a spotter or 2 is probably closer to the truth. He can prove us all wrong by providing proof, of course.

When Ted Arcidi became the first man to bench 700,his best bench was,I think,565X5.So Kamali is stronger then Ted Arcidi.The best Raw bencher out there today is Jeremy Hornstra,and he can not do 585X6,but Kamali can.I dont know why these guys just dont jump in bench for money meets and take all the cash.They could do it without even training for it.

However,we still have Johnny Jackson claiming an 815lb squat with ZERO gear[ass to heels]and yet in full gear his best is 821.Thats bodybuilding for you.
