Post by: shiftedShapes on May 07, 2006, 09:01:22 AM
at least until someone can post better ratios than me.  At 150lbs here are some of my PRs

dips + 105 lbs for 2

chins + 105 lbs for 2

hand stand push up + 35 lbs (weighted vest)

I can do both in total weight, assuming the chins are done with an underhand close-shoulderwidth grip.

 shiftedShapes, you're strength is not even close to Alexxx's. I've personally seen him do chins with 6 plates attached to his waist and dips with the same weight. You're not even close :-\

Title: Re: I'm the getbig BODYWEIGHT STRENGTH CHAMPION
Post by: Ursus on May 07, 2006, 12:50:59 PM
at approx 220lbs the b/w becomes negligible. where a few people can squat 3x at 200lbs, its almost impossible at 500. hence wilks etc.

anyway at 220ish i can do

190% dip below parallel
150% chin
150% bench press
Title: Re: I'm the getbig BODYWEIGHT STRENGTH CHAMPION
Post by: shiftedShapes on May 07, 2006, 02:32:27 PM
goudy sounds like you have me on the dips and I've got you on the chins.  I've always been better at pulling than pressing (i've got a narrow chest compared to my limb length)

Can you match me on the HSPUs?

hand stand push ups

they are great.  I have gotten a lot stronger on them.  now I can do them with ~125% bw or I can do them on books for extra depth for reps.   For some reason I'm making much better progress then when I was just working on military press, also it's nice to be able to work out at home.

Do you put your feet on the wall or do it without any support?
Title: Re: I'm the getbig BODYWEIGHT STRENGTH CHAMPION

i know a fella who can do them unsupported. he can do 22 full ones in a minute WR is 33. He done it just for fun one day, doesnt take them seriously at all. he used to do them on benches so that he wa soff the ground and able to get a better ROM
Title: Re: I'm the getbig BODYWEIGHT STRENGTH CHAMPION
Post by: shiftedShapes on May 07, 2006, 02:50:01 PM

on a wall although I have been meaning to learn to do them unsupported.  Basically I just need to learn how to do a static hand stand and the push up shouldn't be that hard from there.

Goudy if your friend does 22 unsupported in a minute that's awesome.  Is he a gymnast?

I don't really try to rep out with them anymore but I doubt I could do more than 20 supported against a wall

I reckon I could manage a passable 3x bodyweight deadlift. (600 ish lbs)

IF.... if I used straps, doing sumo-style deadlifts with my feet as far apart as the plates will allow.

I'm a midget (5'5'') so my range of motion would be reduced to about 4 inches in this situation... does that count??

If you tried to get into that stance you'd be pretty close to a full split at 5'5"

you might tear your groin worse than dorian did his bicep.

Gains

just did hand stand push-ups plus 40lbs (weighted vest) for 2 reps

I'm about to see what I can do with 54lbs added.

stay tuned for reports from my living room HSPU station

I missed, probably tired from two sets with the 40lbs added.  Maybe next time.

Post by: JPM on May 15, 2006, 08:59:00 AM
Goudy: Sorry but I'm not too swift, and a little thick, when it comes to math or am I not understanding your post & numbers. The 410 dip & 320 chin, would that be weight added onto the body during the lift(s)? Or would that be including your bwt (220lbs) to form a combined weight overall. Example; dip 410= bwt 220 with 190lbs strapped on? If that 410 is a true added weight than you must use a lifting harness with a plate stacking rack for dips & chins. And you certainly are much stronger than the late, great Pat Casey and even Marvin Eder, both known for their dipping strength.

A couple of guy's I've known have done in the low 300's (weight added) range for dips in workouts. And some others in the 180- 200 lb range with chins for workout reps. In any case these guy's weighted in the 270-300 bwt range. Anyway, just wondering. Good Luck.
Title: Re: I'm the getbig BODYWEIGHT STRENGTH CHAMPION
Post by: Ursus on May 15, 2006, 02:07:38 PM
Marvin eder is an idol of mine. No the weight is my bodyweight included. I believe that the WR is a 634lb dip, 434added pounds.

i really do want to at least get into the 300lbs added weight in dips. would be a great achievement. unfortunately at tehn min ill make do and keep plugging away. same is for dips. approx 220lbs added so maybe 100sh added lbs for chins.
