Now that Matt C is absent ?
-
Well there are always going to be the fortress, tommywishboners here, so they usually are there. Van B has put up sick numbers as well. robcguns does crazy weights and volume, but is currently walking completely around the planet and won't comment. SC moves some sick weights too.
But for the other day to day posters, it's a good question.

Soul Crusher still has the best gripstrength
P4P overall it's still Josh , Robcguns and Fortification

I hope robc is not doing the One-Big Mac-a-Day-Walk-From-East-Coast-to-West-Coast- Diet program.

Sev is probably pretty strong for 110 lbs.
-
I'm not the strongest by a long way, but I can currently pull 6 plate deadlifts so I pass my own "you must be this height to enter" test for strength.
I'm probably about 210lbs. I'd like to get to 7 plates.
Squat is pretty rubbish though, I'm guessing 200kg would be my current limit.

Weigh around 210 lbs these days, been injured in my shoulders, back and elbow, still doing rehab and treatment , but went to the gym the last week
When my elbow was at its worst a few months ago , i couldn't even lift a smartphone (0.3 kg) och a fryingpan

Shoulder injuries really do make upper body work absolute hell
I broke something in a shoulder, deadlifting about 2 months ago.
Couldn't press 15kg dbs without pain. Slowly getting better now.

My best numbers were:
Squat 705lb
Bench 496lb
Dead 683lb
Browsing since 2009 and never post, doubt I qualify in the same manner as the likes of Marty Champions and Bhanks.

Yes being just under the magical 500lb bench press (at an Arnold Classic PL comp nonetheless) still eats away at me daily. Thanks for the reminder haha.

How's the pulling going?
I've finally come to realize that my muscle building genetics are horrendous
Over the last 8 weeks I was running 700 MGS of test weekly 100 MGS daily, getting 200 grams of protein daily and eating 2700 cals on the daily and added ZERO, ZILLICH, SWEET FUCK ALL muscle tissue so I'm not gonna try and climb that fucking tree no more
I'm gonna compete in sanctioned raw bench and strict curls comps
My base starting strength is decent and once I shift the focus to pure absolute strength Ima gonna SHINE

This fat tub of shit once bragged about being able to " bench " 500lbs in powerods also claimed being mistaken for a pro bodybuilder ::)

This thread title such an obvious trap to entice Mazi to return. Instead he’s forced to read the title from his cellmate’s flip phone and driven further into madness. Well played OP, well played indeed.

Glad to see strict curl being discussed again, finally!

No joke, the strong fellas here could try a curl max with an ez-bar, see how it compares to (blank). Could be a fun thing to try. I'm in no position to vy for top spots in it right now but might cycle it in for fun if others also want to do it. I think I did like 155lbs for 10 and another 10 pretty loose to very loose back in the day, a loong time ago :D

So how much of a bench press is that for you then?
I weigh around 112kg at the moment so no I cannot bench 5 plates a side for a rep, does that make you stronger than me? I think not.

It's possible that they use calibrated plates that are in kgs at a meet in the US.
It's also possible it's all in pounds
What's important is that someone saying their lifts in pounds on a known US centric board does not mean they are from the US.

One thing that puzzles me is if you´re just "stretching" a muscle, why then do you increase Bodyweight if the muscle is not getting bigger?
it´s not just water & Bloat regardless if on drugs or not.

Can anybody here legit raw bench double bodyweight with a full 2 second pause at the chest?
I will do that at least
Once I put in the strength orals that'll give me 30-40 alone
And I haven't even honed my bench skill/technique yet
-
Interesting..
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12132390/
Muscle growth is accounted for by muscle cell enlargement (without nucleus duplication) and an increase in muscle cell number by mitosis of pre-existing differentiated muscle cells. De-differentiation and division of muscle cells, migration of muscle cells and late development of muscle cell precursors have all also been considered as possible mechanisms for muscle growth

Pretty much any guy at a powerlifting meet and 80+kg is going to be pulling around 6 plates or more so I think it's more likely that I'm not.

Rocket you should do a powerlifting meet. Unless you are at a large state (or whatever your county’s equivalent is)or national event there are that many guys in that weight class making that pull.

Why the fuck would I pause for 30 fucking seconds?
Will Tennyson did a meet and they made him pause for 2-3 seconds
Most paused are less than 2 seconds in reality

Yes there is an increase in muscle protein content. What some mean is that there isn't an increase in number of muscle fibers, but imo that hasn't been fully investigated esp. in drug using folks, as you can see in that quote, there are other "proposed mechanisms." Of course "muscle" is mostly water so what you see on the scale isn't all new contractile tissue i.e. muscle protein.
-

They just can't do that much IMO and IME. If they give you 5kg that would be absolutely fantastic. One non-steroid drug that I would use if I wanted to max my strength is clenbuterol or other drug in that class, over a long period of time, many months, at a dose you can't really even feel, say 20mcg and increasing if or when you don't feel the dosage anymore, don't get the sides e.g. the shakes.

I took 250 mcg of cheque drops and my strict curl went from 100 pounds for one all out max single 6 fucking days ago to a 5 clean reps with my 100 pound max
So from one dose of 250 mcg I got 5 reps with my max weight
Next workout I'll most likely go to 500 mcg but that seems to be the max dose according to the net sources I checked
So come at me bro😅

Take any powerlifter or very trained person, say someone who has been maxing a lift, curl in this case, and give him cheque drops and see what happens. If the drug works exceptionally well, a single dose might give him half a rep, i.e. might make him complete a lift he otherwise would have failed, best case scenario. Any steroid at any dose simply does not make someone do five reps with an otherwise max single, that's ridiculous, complete lunacy BRO :D What's your best ever max single on bench? If you get 5 reps with that after some cheque drops then we'll talk. The reality is that almost no top lifter is taking cheque drops or even methyltren. Not saying they couldn't benefit but if you're already on say test and Anadrol then it's not at all certain these special compounds will add much as a guarantee. Do drugs to tolerate hard training repeatedly over time is where it's at mostly. I would do some nootropics and adaptogens and things of that nature on top of steroids to dial in my nervous system. Things like clen to shift fibers towards more type II fast twitch fibers.
I did like methyltren as a stimulating steroid but Anadrol is basically the only one that gave me a little acute strength at a high dose several hours pre-workout.

I've only used cheque drops once so its not enough to comment on them yet
And to be fair that was my second time doing strict curls in years
My max paused bench is 110 kg I plan to hit 140 within 2-3 months while staying under 162
I can make 48's from 162 if I can weigh in the night before
I now weigh 158 at like 7% and I can go down to 4% if need be, so that would allow me to gain like 9 more pounds of lean dry muscle although my muscle building potential sucks ass and quite frankly I don't give a flying fuck if I can more muscle
Just came across this
DOUCHEtte had a world record in the bench and here he pressed 325 but he weighs over 2 bills
He got 135 in the strict curl while Will the Thrill got 125
I can most likely do 115 but for sure 110 and I just started

I notice strength from clen too and alot of energy of course but at higher doses for getting ripped it can leave one weaker as it burns all that fuel and depletes minerals. Not eager to take that again, or tren and all the rest really.

Clen is also slightly anabolic
So next order I'll be getting it along with halo
Thinking of making me pre bench stack clen, halo, abombs and cheque drops 😁😁😁

Yes, I had really mean cramps from that stuff, specifically abs. Anecdotally Taurine seems to help and it has been shown it depletes Taurine. I think the trick is to use very little initially. It's an old asthma drug of course which some used for decades straight. I don't think they all were cramping and shaking constantly all that time, like with everything you get used to it. It's not a game changer by any means but if trying to maximize things might be mildly useful. The observed fiber change to more fast twitch is interesting. All the athletes now have prescriptions for albuterol or salbutamol or similar, everyone has asthma. All the winter athletes have cold induced asthma; interesting how all the athletes are suddenly asthmatics. :D

Strange that.
It's a CNS activator so the ability to attack the weight explosively is up.

this has piqued my curiousity - is there any research/anecdotal evidence on amphetamines and lifting performance? Im curious if a low dose before a competitive lift might offer an advantage. I'm also suspicious if the dose was high enough, that form would break down and lifting would be negatively impacted. But I don't know nor am I willing to be a guinea pig.

I've used Vyvance periodically for the past several years. There's absolutely an advantage, perhaps not a huge increase in absolute strength per se, but it can put you in a focused and "aggressive" mindframe, not hostile towards people but more interested in lifting and doing things in general, more "active." Ephedrine used to do the same for me but I haven't seen it in decades. Though in general, if something causes too much euphoria it might make you rather just chill or just sit staring at a wall or fiddle with some useless task endlessly. I'd say about 10mg of dexamphetamine or other equipotent might be a good dose and not too much. I think meth for ADHD is prescribed at about half that dose.
I thought the story of this Finnish soldier during the winter war was amusing. It increased his performance too much.
"Koivunen was a Finnish soldier, assigned to a ski patrol on 15 March 1944 along with several other Finnish soldiers. Three days into their mission on 18 March, the group was attacked and surrounded by Soviet forces, from whom they were able to escape.[3] Koivunen became fatigued after skiing for a long distance but could not stop. He was carrying his patrol's entire supply of army-issued Pervitin, or methamphetamine, a stimulant used to remain awake while on duty.[4] He consumed the entire supply of Pervitin, and had a short burst of energy, but soon entered a state of delirium and eventually lost consciousness. Koivunen later recalled waking up the following morning, separated from his patrol and having no supplies.[5]
In the following days, Koivunen escaped Soviet forces once again, was injured by a land mine, and stayed in a ditch for a week, waiting for help.[5][4] In the week that he was gone, he subsisted only on pine buds and a single Siberian jay that he caught and ate raw.[5][4] Having skied more than 400 km (248.5 mi), he was later found and admitted to a nearby hospital, where his heart rate was measured at 200 beats per minute, and he weighed only 43 kg (94.8 lbs).[5][4]"

thats him - not photoshopped. looks like he's had a big weekend.
but on a serious note thanks for the info. I've heard of vyvanse - it's used here in Aus for adhd/autistic kids in varying dosages. dex too. the former isn't too readily seen around the traps but dex pops up on the black market a fair bit. the experienmce I've had dealing with dickheads on meth when I was doing door work is that they have energy and frenzied strength (for a time) but little co-ordination. and zero brain function almost.
-
this has piqued my curiousity - is there any research/anecdotal evidence on amphetamines and lifting performance? Im curious if a low dose before a competitive lift might offer an advantage. I'm also suspicious if the dose was high enough, that form would break down and lifting would be negatively impacted. But I don't know nor am I willing to be a guinea pig.
Anecdotally, I was told to the promoter of the 2014 GPA Worlds in Sydney Australia that the headline lifters were doing amphetmamines prior to their main lifts. For what it’s worth, I trust the messenger 100%, and you can find the names of the competitors online, i.e. konstantins Konstantinovs (RIP), Benedikt Magnusson etc

The ones that do street meth are a sorry bunch, the most enervating people you can deal with. There's some difference between doing grams and doing some 10mg. I love the stuff but in several years I haven't ventured above the adult 70mg pill (about 20mg dex spread out over the day). At least in my case there hasn't been a temptation to escalate and it keeps working just fine. If you google you can find some article where Kazmaier mentions how he uses it in training. Prescription stims used to be so common, there have been mentions that Arnold used them too. I mean who didn't? Some strongmen have mentioned that you can't take a lot early in the day because it will just zap all your strength, you take it before later events. There's a reason they don't test for steroids but do test for stims, would be very bad publicity if someone keels over and he was amped up. Though there are a lot of designer stims that are just as effective, if not more, but not tested for.
Tucker Carlson mentioned that he knows someone who saw Biden getting shot up with amphetamines at least 3 times during the election. I'm sure it's there for Trump too if he needs it, as an old guy there will be times when he needs more focus. JFK used it and doc said Kennedy mentioned how it gave him mental clarity. Kennedy used Halotestin too.
Lady, take some Ritalin, stop moping, and get to vacuuming and playing with your child.

I'm not a comp powerlifter, never was, but I wrote this in a PM. There are several former or current competitive powerlifters here, do you think this is potentially good info/advice?
"Powerlifters don't typically go to absolute failure on the comp lifts very often at all, preferably only in comps, the idea is to ideally not miss a single lift during prep, they just go with the daily projected numbers, according to preset plan. But say you do a triple on bench, each rep should be performed as if in a comp or it doesn't count at all. Lift-off, command to start, pause, lift, rack on command, could be in your mind if no spotter. Failing a rep on a competitive lift in training sets a bad precedent mentally. Ideally you only take a chance on second and third lifts in comp. Assistance lifts you might do more "bodybuilding style" but even there top lifters often want each rep to be perfect and standardized in execution, how else to truly know if you're making progress, know what I mean? If even tempo changes you don't know. I have never done a PL comp because there are no untested feds here, but if I were to do one, I would go about it the way I described. No shit lifts ever on the competition lifts, everything should be perfect and ingrained in your psyche."

I'm no PLer, but with BB-style workouts it's definitely easy to fall in love (nh) with progressing the numbers, e.g. doing more weight for more reps, and fool yourself into thinking you're making progress when really the "quality" of the reps you're doing is just getting shittier and shittier and that's why you're able to do more. Harder to do that with PL-style where the weights are too heavy to get away with such fuckery.

That’s absolutely right, well aware that I’m posting to GetBig USA.
Hah, took your time to confirm that - I caught mild heat from all the people thinking I was crazy for saying you had converted them.

That's a damn good bench weight only a long way off LB for LB strongest.

Coach (Joe Marino) had a huge bench.

Many getbiggers are losing track of the P4P qualifier in this thread.
585 bench is crazy strength absolutely but if you weigh 400 lbs it is not particularly "pound-for-pound" strong.
Deonte Wilder would knock out Marvin Hagler easily but who is the better P4P boxer? Most would say Hagler.
MattC weighs like 175 and presses 120-lb dumbbells for 12, that is very strong for his weight.

I benched 495 at 198 = 2.5 x Bw. I thought that was decent going. ;D

That's fantastic but I assume it was in an early Inzer? Otherwise that's insane. Still absolutely fantastic in a shirt.
I was about 20 and benched almost 190kg+ on my first loong Dbol cycle, put on a very tight Inzer and it split down the middle trying for 220kg = first pec tear :'(
-
A double bodyweight raw bench is ELITE
Blakely paused pressed 440 in the 220s but he cut weight from 237 so technically that wasn't truly a double bodyweight bench

Equipped it's still very, very good. I'm assuming the approx. time period he was competing but those early shirts weren't that great, 30lbs added would be great, usually it was maybe 22lbs.
Squat wraps might add upwards of 90lbs, the squat suit might be less. I tried those early suits and goot nothing but I didn't practice it. I had an absolutely INSANE effects from a deadlift suit - 110+lbs! 300kg to 350-355kg over night. Then took me like 12 years to do that raw.

Thats a huge increase just from the suit on deadlift.
You're a very strong deadlifter. 👊🏻 👍🏻

It was insane the boost I got. I even did a top down dead in the suit with 380kg. Then when I was lifting the same same raw I thought to break out the old suit, 400kg, here I come, so I thought... it gave me 5kg wtf ??? What a bummer, couldn't figure it out.

I never got shit in squats from wraps except some security and confidence. I did notice a difference with a belt though. Never tried any suits. Buddy I used to lift with could do 405 raw, throw on a shirt and suddenly 545 was going up. ;D

That's odd when you tried the suit again it only gave you a 5kg gain. 🤷🏻♂️

Got around 40 - 50lbs out of good set of knee wraps.
I could squat & deadlift without a belt - other than giving some add stability
& confidence it didn't add anything to poundages in fact if it was on tight it
Would hinder my deadlift.
Thank you - I believe I may of got more only I swapped to bodybuilding
& competing.

That's odd, lifters get a few pounds out of just sleeves, now the rule is you have to be able to get them on by yourself :D Wraps give me at least 40-50lbs but I guess it depends on a lot of factors like squat style and leverages, but usually everyone gets at least 10kg or 22lbs I would say, and 90lbs is the the top end for powerlifters.
I have never, ever seen anyone else get 115lbs out of a deadlift suit when lifting conventional, usually it's about 20-30lbs. Sumo many got 90lbs though.
I posted this a while back. This was when my max off the floor raw was exactly just 660lbs! 815lbs here, did 837lbs the week after, just bouncing off the suit, 16 years ago LOL :D
-
mate thats exceptional! I note it says 16 yrs ago - do you mind if I ask what age you were then or now (I'll do the math!)?

Doc Blakely was in Finland many years ago and he meet Riku Kiri and he said Finnish men are very macho :D

I'm 48 now :'( :D I was at my strongest like 6-7 years ago (in my profile pic). Started deadlifting at 15, a couple of years ago I developed pain in my upper back and I thought, well it's obviously a disk issue. MRI showed nothing except "possible impact on bone marrow." Anyone know what that could mean?

I don't know if Finns are particularly macho, the sterotype is that they're quiet. Two Finns start drinking and the other says cheers! "Are we here to chat or drink?"
It was said that deadlifting was the national sport of Finland. Nowadays the big Americans seem to be crushing everything. It's the massive amounts of overfeeding :D

I read about some drinking challenges in Finland where guys died. They also used to host sauna comps but then a Russian died so they had to shut it down. Brain dead challenges ::) I haven't drank in like 20 years, just never took to it, the hangover wasn't worth it.

not sure if the Drinking is so bad now in Scotland, like say the 70s & 80s. Glasgow was a rough place then & when passing through i had a drink in a few places that were sawdust on the floor :D

Robin who was a straight on alcoholic
And Barry who was an English teacher like me, he often helped me but once he refused to help me so I blocked him and never contacted him again :D

I tried every variation I could think of! For me the toughest deadlift variation is with bands, the tension is insane. In the pic below the bands I had on must have added 300lbs at the top, felt like the traps would detach.

If you really want to put your charm to the test, you should really try to flip a straight dude sometime at da club. If it's a social science experiment, you don't even have to say no homo. If you reported back to the guys here in great detail, you'd probably get blue stars and a one way ticket to 1st ballot hall of fame status.

I used to be 180cm but I think I'm now 179cm. So I used to be 5'11 but now I'm just under, midget territory :'( I think 6'1 or 6'2 would be pretty ideal, what do you think?

Someone gave me 7 bottles of Winstrol in oil for free. I put a ML in each delt a couple of times a week and it gives me a bulge of maybe 1.5cm on each side LOL. It's noticeable even in a tshirt. It kinda looks weird in a tank top in the gym, near 50 year olds don't usually have rounded and capped shoulders like that :D
