1/8 reps
But also 1/8 the muscle, or no? does that count for anything? :D

Only lift that counts nowadays is the deadlift.

Damn, what an explosive tit. Way more impressive than the fatties and their 3 inch records.
Though Chuck Vogelpohl rocks nonetheless.

That was a nice lift, even if you're one of those guys that scrunch up your face at all the new wraps and things-
Ffwd to about 1:50.
.
He was also very lean because he's going to try a bodybuilding show.

He's done 760 with just a belt. ;)

i'm not a huge fan of using knee wraps when squatting but the instability is from the wraps, not because he can't handle the weight. take the tight as fuck knee wraps off and he could walk it out much much easier.

Hail to the Dinosaurs!
Let's continue yesterday's theme about
what constitutes real world, no nonsense
strength training goals for a drug-free
lifter -- and again, let's do it by looking
at the standards in the 1956 classic, WEIGHT
TRAINING IN ATHLETICS.
Yesterday we talked about the two hands
military press with barbell. One rep with
a barbell equal to your own body weight is
rated as superior. 50 pounds over your body
weight is unusual. 100 pounds over your body
weight is world class -- as in, that would
put you up there with World champions in
Olympic weightlifting in the 1950's.
Let's move on to the bench press -- and pls
remember, these are based on standards from
the mid 1950's, so we're talking about drug-
free lifters, no support gear, and strict
performance.
Benching a barbell equal to your own body
weight is good.
50 pounds over body weight is superior.
100 pounds over body weight is an excellent
performance.
200 pounds over your own body weight puts you
up there with the very strongest men in the
world.
What about barbell curls -- as in, a single
STRICT curl (using 2 hands)?
Remember -- we're not talking cheat curls,
swing curls, power curls or anything else that
looks like a walrus trying to do a back flip.
A single lift in the 2 hands barbell curl with
a barbell loaded to 80 pounds under your own
body weight is respectable.
50 pounds under body weight is superior.
Anything close to your own body weight for one
rep in the STRICT barbell curl ranks you among
the strongest men in the world.
We'll cover squats and deadlifts tomorrow -- so
be looking for my Thursday morning email!
As always, have a great day, and if you hit the
iron, hit it hard and heavy!
Yours in strength,
Brooks Kubik

Hail to the Dinosaurs!
Let's continue to talk about re world strength
standards for drug free trainees.
Again, these are taken from the 1956 book WEIGHT
TRAINING IN ATHLETICS by Jim Murray and Dr. Peter
Karpovich. I use the 1950's as a starting point
because we had (1) no drugs, and (2) no support
gear. So these are good standards for RAW lifters
and for those who (wisely) have opted to train
drug-free.
To recap:
1. The Two Hands Military Press with Barbell
Pressing a barbell equal to your own body
weight for one rep is rated as SUPERIOR STRENGTH.
Body weight plus 50 lbs. is rated as UNUSUAL
strength.
Body weight plus 100 pounds is rated as WORLD CLASS.
Note that we're talking about STRICT pressing. No
leg drive, no knee kick, no back bend. Just stand
on your feet and push the bar overhead with arm and
shoulder power.
2. The Two hands Barbell Curl
These are the standards for the STRICT barbell curl.
(STRICT! -- no cheating.)
One rep with 80 pounds under body weight is rated
as RESPECTABLE.
One rep with 50 to 30 pounds under body weight is
rated as SUPERIOR.
One rep with anything approaching body weight is
rated as WORLD CLASS.
Note: WORLD CLASS means as strong as the World and
Olympic champions in weightlifting. John Davis, for
example, curled 205 pounds at a body weight of about
220 pounds.
3. The Bench Press
Once again, we're talking strict. No bouncing. A pause
at the bottom. No raising the hips. No back arch.
Body weight plus 50 lbs. -- SUPERIOR STRENGTH.
Body weight plus 100 lbs. -- the goal of an ADVANCED
lifter.
Body weight plus 200 pounds -- WORLD CLASS.
Marvin Eder, weighing 195 lbs., bench pressed 480
lbs.
Chuck Vinci, a two-time Olympic Gold Medal Winner,
pressed 325 lbs. at a weight of only 125 lbs.
Remember, these were RAW lifts!
4. The Squat
No knee wraps. No super suits. No bouncing. Strict
style all the way.
One rep with body weight -- achievable by any man.
50 lbs. over body weight -- starting to develop
superior strength.
100 lbs. over body weight -- your goal to work toward.
This should be achievable with hard work.
200 to 300 lbs. over body weight -- WORLD CLASS.
5. The Deadlift
Body weight plus 150 lbs. is rated as being within
anyone's reach.
200 lbs. over body weight is rated as SUPERIOR STRENGTH.
300 lbs. over body weight is rated as ADVANCED LIFTER
status.
400 to 500 lbs. over body weight is rated as WORLD
CLASS.
I hope that gives you food for thought and helps with
setting real-world goals for strength and power
training!
Yours in strength,
Brooks Kubik
