Yeah, he's kinda strong I guess.  LOL.  What really impresses me is that he doesn't throw the dumbells down like a Branch Warren-esque douche bag.

Yeah, I always try to avoid that [unless I fail the rep]. Although my gym only goes up to 120-lb dumbbells. Marty Champions said I wouldn't be able to get them after that video where I did one lousy rep - but I can do them for at least 12 clean reps now. I think Marty being 6'6" with probably an 80" wingspan makes it harder for him to do presses.

Regarding Branch Warren, if he's dumping much heavier dumbbells after going to full failure, I can sort of understand that.

I think he's turning 47 this year, and he's still massive. I now sort of understand why these guys stay on - because the attention muscle garners at the size of an IFBB pro must be nonstop. Still though - I fear for Branch's health, and I fear for the health of the dumbbells that he haphazardly dumps on the ground at the end of each set.

Well that's not so much. Coleman did 2x190s in his video I think. And that guy the other day... I think 250 + 250 presses.
