The hulk just appeared on Palumbo's new radio show
Lou States that Coleman is the best bodybuilder ever,
Claiming he spotted him 4 years ago, squatting 615 for 15 perfect reps!

I agree - hasn't Ronnie squated 800+ in one of his videos and also one front squats with 495?

615 for 15 isn't completely unbelieveable for someone of Ronnie's strength.

He did 7 plates for 2
then 6 for 10

Said he could get 6 for 12 but they were filming so he'd try 7 a side first

You guys are clueless. You should all go back and watch Ronnie Coleman's videos.

He squats 800x2, 600x10 easy and front squats 595x4.

If Ronnie chooses to go higher reps he does 600x15. Now any more stupid questions?

Tom Platz squatted 635 for 12 about one month before one of his final Mr. Olympia appearances.

I have little doubt Ronnie could squat this amount of weight for this amount of reps. Of course, not contest "good", but in his own inimitable style, as can be seen in his videos. Kinda like a non-lockout-fast-partial style.

You can bet Platz's reps were tight, Olympic style, though. Guy was a FREAK. Even Coleman at his best (most drugged) would have gotten smashed in the squat rack by The Golden Eagle. (Ronnie would collapse Tom in pressing stuff.)

That was 525, not 500, and it was during his comeback stint in 1993. Whoever uploaded vid assumed it was just 5 plates, as it's all you can see from that view.

Tom at his heaviest in mid 80s did much more than 525 for 23 reps.

Just like Fred Hatfield who was behind Tom did much more in his prime than at that FIBO event.

Anyone who can't buy credible and consistent reports of Tom's feats without "proof" simply have no idea of how powerful a squatter he was and do not know their iron history. Which is fair enough, as long as they don't play the part of the asanine skeptic

If Tom could do 525 for 23 at 200 lbs BW in 1993, 5-6 YEARS post his olympia days, what do you think he could do at his heaviest and best in mid 80s????? Rhetorical question, as I believe I have the answer. Tom did 20 reps with 600 lbs at his best. That's the heaviest high rep number I recall from his statements.

Bear in mind, Tom never counted reps...his spotters or training partners did. He was much more into feel than numbers. Thus why he doesn't exactly know how many reps he did with 225 and a dime for 10 minutes straight. But more than a 100.

Asking for "proof" of Tom's feats is fair enough if you just want to see it, but certainly not to play the asanine skeptic.
