Title: Strongest in your gym
Post by: Ursus on March 21, 2010, 07:42:31 PM
Well what are the biggest lifts in your gym?

At one stage we have a 550ish bench and a few 650+ squatters and deadlifters for a few reps. They were on gear obviously. In my memory in my gym there was one guy did a 500lb bench!

I go to a gym in the burbs, not too many beasts in there besides me.

300 kg deadlift for 8 (?) reps. It's on Youtube but I'm lazy.  :P

Also 245 kg deep squat from a lifter under 90 kg.

Not many bench pressers in the gym.

 Looks like he just smoked some meth or something. He keeps rushing back and forth. I like the 5 inch squat.

WTF? Any more info about who this dude is? He has an uncanny resemblence to a guy a know named "Big Steve" who trained out of the Leaning Tower YMCA in Chicago.  Big Steve had OCD which was getting progressively worse.  I havenen't seen him in about 4 years. The dude in this video looks A LOT like him and definately has the OCD going. Could it be him?

Haha I have no idea bro.  I see the black guy sitting kinda in front of the camera all the time.  Next time I do, I'll ask him if he knows what all went down.

I'm the strongest in my gym...which isn't saying much with a 425 bench.

People pay me compliments all the time and I'm like "this really isn't all that strong....i know 100 guys online that can bench twice what i do"

Back in the 80s my gym was rife with drug usage. Guys who still train now attest and confirm we had some real strong guys.

These are the strongest?  Does Wolf or QT go heavy?  (you know what I mean by heavy - heavy for a pro).  I can't remember the last time I saw a pro go heavy.  I'd say maybe Cormier but he doesn't lift nearly what he used to back in the day.

When I travled alot I easily have trained in more than 200 gyms in US, CHina and Mexico.  I was almost everytime the strongest.  I would go into these gyms and some people would look and then after a few sets I would have guys and everbody coming up to me to say how strong I was.  When I moved to Hawaii though things changed.  There were plenty of guys stronger than me.  So it was humbling.  I was never strong in my legs though
