Congratulations on your accomplishment,

It goes to show that some people can build a large amount of development without training with what most trainees would consider is heavy weight.

About 12 years ago I remember seeing a 5 ft 2 bodybuilder who must of weighed around 200lbs in fairly solid condition train. The kid was going no heavier than 40lb dumbbell curls, 225lb squats, 180lb lat pulldowns, but he was massive.

All this while I was squatting double what he was doing for just as many reps; I didn't have the leg development that he did. You could play connect the dots with the pimples on his back, and I was clean so I'm sure that that had a large impact.

But it also shows that some people will respond favorably to less than others.

How many people can start at least 10 threads about how great they are in one day?  Adonis only starts about 5 and I can't think of anyone else.  

Seriously Alexxx, stop.  You're an idiot and your really not helping yourself.  You are not a future mr. o, you're not even a future mr. local jr. high.  You're a chump and you keep on confirming you're a chump with every post you make.  "I have 18 inch arms", "I weigh 240lbs"..blah, blah, blah....you're a moron.

Haney did four plates for five or six reps in his 1987 video with the same "gym form" which I would do 305ish for one with.  If I stay natural, I'm not sure if I would ever get four plates, but I think 350-370 might be a possibility.

I hope Lee gets this transferred to DVD.  Do you guys notice bodybuilders are usually pretty bad at marketing themselves?   ???  Lee is one of the best ever and he is like "the forgotten BB".

Funny thing is I never remember seeing Ty in a competition.  I couldn't dig him up on www.musclememory.com either.  Maybe he was just big for the sake of being big?  He looked about 5'10 and could easily compete in the 220s judging by his condition in the video.  He was harder than Haney (just not as big).  He was the first to tell Haney that he had the potential to break Arnold's record.

Bench is just an ego lift anyway.

I am pretty sure he never competed. He was awesome. He had the right frame of mind and if he had decided to compete he would probably place second only to Haney. I like the intensity those two trained with!

Guys,

Realistically 4 plates = 225 lbs (assuming they are 45 lb plates)

Great Job Alexx, keep up the good work.

I thought 240 was an idiot but you are now leaving him in the dust.

what did you put in for the last name?  It was not Ropeman, that was his nickname because he was very vascular....I can't remember his real last name but I think he placed 2nd to John Sherman at the 93 USA in the light heavies....

ha, I was thinking "Feldman".  Here is his stats page courtesy of Tim:

http://www.musclememory.com/show.php?a=Felder,+Tyrone

I remember Haney was about 5'11 or 5'11 and 1/2, and Ty didn't seem too much shorter, so I would have guessed he would have competed in the 200-220 range.  But there have been some huge guys at 180 as well.

So don't call yourself Ukrainian if you are of russian orgin I can't stand that, a complete disgrace to Ukraine. So you are a russified Ukrainian unfortunately. But to call yourself Ukrainian you would atleast think you would know and speak the language that is spoken there whether you are russified or not. I have a major problem with russian in Ukraine. russian better not become an official language.

you understand this?

So you couldn't read Ukrainian and you couldn't tell the difference between Russian and Ukrainian languages.
With your grasp of English that is a total of three languages you can't read in.

Laying the empty bar on top of four plates aside doesn't count as lifting them.

God, it was so nice when you got spanked and had your little time out.

Ain't that the truth. Once you start benching over 350 it gets harder to add any worthwhile weight. At least thats what happened to me. I benched 275 at 20, 350 at 21 and it took me a solid 4 years to hit 405 at 25 years old in 1986. After I got to that point at around 230 pounds at 6'2" I lost motivation and just switched to dumbells and concentrated on doing just inclines. I think that was the upper level of my potential anyway and without steroids or eating myself into oblivion I never would have gotten a heavier lift. As I remember I felt great that day. Today at 6'2" 250 or so I don't have nearly the strength I had at 25. I think its a combination of age, using almost all machines, isolation movements and little free weights and a shitty diet.

I did 585 at 290 in 86'.  Hall of Fame photographer Gene Mozee took the photo below for M&F that never made it.  That is 550.  In 95 or so, I did 405 for 21 but really 23, they didn't count two.  I did a 505 incline almost 10 years (around 95') after doing the bench and almost 10 years after my last shot of Test.  I did 6 months straight of test cypionate 200mg for 6 months, 1cc a day.  At 247 I did 500 drug free in 1980 with Joe Gold spotting.

Right now I can do 315 for 12 on a good day.  I feel like a girl.  I am afriad to try 405.  I told my workout partner by the end of this month we shoud be doing it, but I'm not sure.  I don't like to struggle with weight so I may wait till I can do 315 for an easy 15 or so.  It is very embarrasing right now considering I am so much heavier yet weaker.

And Alexx if you can only do 315 for 2, then you are a long way from 405.  But, in your terms I'll be doing 800.

Therefore you don't have any real information about WWII, only that shit which they have use to brainwash your little little brains. I have met many people like you from countries which were part of CCCP, and like you, they have just a same totally wrong point of view to that matter.  So why don't you pop that head of yours out from your ass, and read some real history books. Here in the west we hold them in the public library, and you can choose from wide variety of history books. Not just some "Glorified Soviet history for uneducated morons" or other propaganda books like that.

The Nazi's invaded Russia without a problem and stayed there for months. The only problem came when Hitler had to overstretch his army to deal with the English and the Americans. In reality if America hadn't butted in..Hitler would of Occupied Russia without a hitch. Hitler was fighting Russia and England with ease until America joined in.
Russia lost over 20 million people..Germany only lost about 6 million.

Here is the real deal:

Only a small percentage of truly natural lifters will bench press over 400 lbs raw using good form.  The percentage that can do over 500 lbs is ridiculously low. 

So, if you see someone benching that much weight it is highly likely they are anabolic users but possible they are clean.

In reality if America hadn't butted in..Hitler would of Occupied Russia without a hitch. Hitler was fighting Russia and England with ease until America joined in.
Russia lost over 20 million people..Germany only lost about 6 million.


America shipped so much machinery, arms and ammunition to Russia during the war it can't even be calculated. True the Russians lost so much blood during the war but the would have surely been Hitlers Liebensram "living space" if it wasn't for the USA and Britain.

Nonsense. The war had already turned decisively in the Russians' favor before the US got involved in Europe. The Germans were defeated near Moscow in 1942 when Stalin called in reinforcements from the east. The Battle of Stalingrad and the Battle of Kursk were over in 1943. Hitler himself said that the war was lost at Stalingrad. The Russians were already near Poland by 1944.

The Battle of Britain was over before the Germans even invaded the Soviet Union. Fewer than a million uniformed troops were killed on the Western Front in WWII. Well over 90% of the fighting occurred on the Eastern Front. These are indisputable facts.

Haney's arms were only 17 inches so it's a wonder he could bench that much.

OK, but the Germans were at the gates of Moscow in 1941. Winter hit. Both sides just basically sat out the winter. The United States supplied the Soviet Union with literally thousands of ship convoys worth of arms, fuel, machinery, technical experts, you name it to Archangel and Murmansk from 1939 on. Starting Dec, 7 1941 after Pearl Harbor when the Germans idiotically declared war on the USA is when the tide turned and Adolph Hitler and the Riech were doomed. British Lancasters and American B17's and started pounding German war machine factories and destroyed the Luftwaffa. Without this there would have been no Russian counter offensive in early 1942. American capitol and unmatched manufacturing capability in the Allies favor is what won the war. The Russians were doomed if the USA had not entered the war. The Germans would have destroyed Russia and made peace with the USA and Britain. Plain and simple. The Russians DID supply an overwhelming amount of manpower and once supplied by American manufacturing thus arming the huge Russian armies that did overwhelm the Nazi's in the east. But if not for the western allies the germans would have owned Eastern Europe lock, stock and barrel. Remember, the German's were treated as liberators in Russia until the SS came in and started slaughtering civilians by the thousands.

I was in Atlanta a few years ago.  I found a gym and who was training legs but Vince Taylor.  He asked me if he could work in.  Sure, as I was expecting him to add more plates to the 10 I had on each side.  Instead he removed 4 from each side and did 12-15 slow deliberate reps and didn't add anymore plates than 8.  I was kinda supprised with the development his legs have, but he told me that's all he needs to stimulate growth and he hurts his ankles when he goes too heavy.  I was expecting like 20 plates a side and 2 gymrats to add extra, but no, just 6,7 and 8 for 3 sets.  I watched him on the Hack squat machine and his max was only 2 per side.  I guess with superior genetics you don't need to train like an animal.

The German reserve 3rd class troops nearly halted the Normandy Invasion, the only reason they lost is because they ran out of supplies and ammo...

And where Stalin and the Russians would be without the help of the allies? That is just why we can't say that russians win the war. They would be losers big time without that help, without allies helping and keeping nazis busy in every orher frontiers. And how Stalin thank for this? He wipe out few million russians, just about for fun... nice guy that "Father Sunshine" of yours  ;D :o ;D
