In an old interview he said that when he was bodybuilding his squat and his deadlift were both over 700 and his bench was 525. Now even these days hes a massive guy, and was apparently ALOT bigger when he was off season but then his height comes into play. Do you think that his squat and bench are valid numbers? I would say within 50lbs for sure, everyone has a slight exaggeraation.
-
There is always a slight exaggeration. I would say his lifts are in the ballpark tho... Not one of those fools claiming things he is not even close to being able to do.
-
He doesn't look like he can move a lot of weight.

Those numbers are absolutely true. Further, during the Olympia broadcast on ESPN, Jim Quinn was heard to say that he witnessed Billy smith measure Batista's bodyfat in Gold's Gym, Venice, just before Wrestlemania. According to Jim, Batista measured at 0.00 % bodyfat which was the lowest ever to be measured for a wrestler. True story.

he may not be able to push the numbers mentioned, but i think he does push a lot of weight, isnt he like 6'5/6'6?
-
All drugs ::)
;D
-
Possible but not highly likely. I can easily believe a touch and go bench of over 500 lbs but I have a hard time with the squat and deadlift numbers. The squat is the bigger reach in my mind. That said, who knows? He could very well be that strong.
-
I bet this guy can move some weight.

why don't you show his legs, we all need a laugh.

lol thanks for the laugh just the thought is enough for those who have watched a show with him in it
-
I thought 'Lashley" or whatever was the one with the elevated liver enzymes?
-
pictures do these guys no justice, batitsa is massive, a 700 pound squat is probably a lie but the others lifts i wouldnt doubt

***A LOT
-
I think these might be true because back when he went by the name Leviathan when he was training to be a wrestler he weighed a LOT more than he does now. He was pretty fat compared to what he looks like now.
-
I saw Batista training in my gym about a month or so ago. He wasn't lifitng heavy at all. He was training back doing partial reps on pulldowns and shrugs with 85 lb dumbells. I think his 3 big lifts may have been done in his powerlifting years before WWE. Like most wrestlers he probably just trains to stay in shape without risk of injury.
-
According to Jim, Batista measured at 0.00 % bodyfat which was the lowest ever to be measured for a wrestler. True story.
And you are just dumb enough to believe it. That speaks volumes. If someone told you the guy measured a negative bodyfat reading I suppose you would have believed that too.

Jim Quinn did witness this, I think eh was 0.0% at Golds Venice, he was the only person to measured so low along with flex wheeler.

Very true. Plus do not forget that these guys cannot be too bulky as it will affect their ring performance. They need to be extremely in shape all year round. Remember that tey are wrestlers...not bodybuilders.
-
dude's a big guy, structurally he's huge. His shoulders are very wide and his waist is very small considering he weighs well over 270. I bet he's pretty close to those numbers.

Nobody living has ever been o% bodyfat. Its impossible. Also these bodyfat tests, even the hydrostatic weighing aren't 100% accurate. Plus you get misreadings. Plus bodybuilders tend to be BIG LIARS. :o

It never seeks to amaze me that anyone would put up a # like 0 bodyfat. You'd be dead. Even rotting corps's have a higher % than 0. 3-4 is super shredded, you know that, 0 impossible. What would it be after a 1/2 hour grewling match? -2%?

bro, it was measured by bill smith, the same dude who measured Flex Wheeler in 03, jim quinn witnessed it.

There are some dumb motherfuckers on this board.
-
In 2002 Bastisa was working out at World Gym in Sterling (now closed) and was curling 225 for 6 reps. Had a little swing, but nothing that would regulate it as cheating. He's a real nice guy too. Struck up a conversation with him and we both talked about food because we are of the same decent (he's half Filipino). When he's in the DC area I think he works out at Gold's in Tysons now.

You truly are an IDIOT if you ever believe that someone is 0% bodyfat. it is not possible. top competitors are around 3-4% the only way to acheive 0% is when you are DEAD and a box of BONES.
MORON...
Gee i believe everything i read, and hear.
I have a special drink that will make you HUGE only $1,000,000.00 let me know when you are ready to buy it

Are you for real ? It's not me who's claiming that you nimrod. JIM QUINN himself said that, on ESPN and it was BILLY SMITH who measured it. I don't see what the big deal is with someone measuring 0.00 %, given the drugs and stuff nowadays. It was only a matter of time before someone achieved that low a bodyfat level.
BTW, Flex Wheeler too has been known to achieve 0.00 % bodyfat. So there.

And you know all of this because you witnessed it yourself??? dont believe everything you hear on tv and read in the magazines. Remember all that weapons of mass destruction stuff? Yeah that came from the leader of this nation. people lie all the time OPEN YOUR EYES

For F*ck sakes >:( Are you now stupid enough to say that Jim Quinn, who's never been known to lie or even exaggerate, would lie about such a thing, especially on TV ? Not to mention that if you are right, it would mean a) Billy Smith is lying too and b) Flex Wheeler didn't achieve 0.00 % bodyfat levels either. Hahahahaha you are a retard.
-
LOL, pwned.
-
LOL, pwned.
Thanks man. It's people like luv2build who actually prevent mankind from making progress. I firmly believe in the not-too-distant future, bodybuilders will actually compete at NEGATIVE bodyfat levels, due to scientific advancements by the leading companies of today, like Muscletech or Gammo O. Lets see what these idiots have to say then. Hahahaha I'd love to see their faces then.

And you know everything he says is truth??? He can get away with saying something like that on tv because most of america is very ignorant and doesnt know any better. and yes i am saying flex didnt achieve 0.00 as well. YOU my friend are the retard for believing things with absolutly no proof to back it up.

I do have proof. Heaps of people saw it when Jim Quinn announced it on ESPN, not to mention several people witnessed the actual act of Billy Smith measuring Batista's bodyfat levels. What more do you want you idiot ?

Fine be negative and disbelieving. I'd like to see the look on your face when someone steps onstage at negative 2 or 4% Bodyfat levels in about 4 years or so, maybe sooner. Let's see what you have to say then. You're pathetic.
-

Too bad your inside matches your outside hahahahahahaha
Ok, balding dwarf.

Go ahead and BE negative. I'd like to see the look on your face when someone steps onstage at negative 2 or 4% Bodyfat levels in about 4 years or so, maybe sooner. Let's see what you have to say then. You're pathetic. And you pack fudge with Vince "Sweet Hormo" Basile

I may have 13.5" arms according to you but I can go outside without a bag over my head like you need.

Only one of my arms is 13.5 inches. The other two are 18.

How can you get a bodyfat reading below ZERO? Your kidding I hope?
-

No I am NOT at all kidding. Look, fact of the matter is, Flex Wheeler registered a 0% body fat. That means NO body fat. To get a negative (=less than zero) reading, one simply has to have 100% more muscle than fat. Very difficult to do, but not impossible theoretically. By way of an analogy remember the Kaisenberg coefficient and plug that into the mass-ratio formula. It's pretty simple from there.

All drugs ::)

It's not how much you can lift,
It's how much it looks like you can lift.

Hahahahaha try not to respond to the same post more than once - no need to make it too obvious that you're melting down. And FYI, Batista has measured at 0.00 % bodyfat level you retard.

You and some of the others on here should write a dissertation or something and get these theories published. They could be worth MILLIONS!! You would totally pwn everyone on here!
Damn it is cool to be watching this all happen from the ground up, unlike so many other incredible scientific advances (Muscletech, Myostatin, Bob Chick etc.), which have almost completely taken form by the time we get to see them :D

As convinced as you seem to be about this, you certainly have not convinced me. Surely body fat percentage is measured relative to total body mass. It is not relative simply to muscle mass. You seem to be forgetting that the body is composed of more than simply muscle and fat. And since all cell membranes in the body are composed of a lipid (fat) bi-layer then without an essential percentage of body fat (around 2-4%) there would be no cells and thus no body. It is physically and indeed physiologically impossible to get below 2-4%. Sorry to bust your theory but them is the facts.

Stop this sense talking. I have been informed in the past that "edumacated" types aren't welcome around these here parts. So take that brain of yours and your common sense while you are at it, and leave them at the door thank you very much :-X

You seem like a clever college bro, what you have to remember is that guys like batista and Kenny "Flex" Wheeler, are the genetic elite, if anayone is gonna hit 0.0% bf, its them. Secondly, they are were/are using god knows what to strip off the bodyfat. Lastly, Jim Quinn, a respect person in the field of bodybuilding himself witnessed both flex and batista being measured by the legendary bill phillips - at 0.00%bf!!!!!

This is the stupidest thing ive heard imy life, i'm an excraft butcher, what the fuck do you think your skin is? Fat you dumb shit, to be 0%. Fuck me pure fatless beef with no skin is around 1-2% body fat, thats the leanest muscle possible, and your trying to say a human body with no trimming of the muscle fibres and skin still attached is even close to this.
If you took even the leanest body builder and did an accuate break down of his fat levels slaughter house style he'd be over 3% easily

Bill Smith once measured Flex Wheeler's bf% as 0 on ESPN, the total sports network. It was at Venice Golds in California.

how do we know this? Cos Jim Quinn witnessed it.
-
it is a fact - not a theory - but a fact that anyone that has 0% bodyfat can not live or be alive. It doesnt matter how much muscle you carry or how light you weigh, there is no possibility of anyone measuring 0% bodyfat and having them speak to you about it. Theorise all you want, thats the truth to the matter
-
If the majority of the posts claiming 0% bf is possible are NOT "tongue in cheek", GetBig will be renamed GetStupid :'(

Are you an authority in bodybuilding? How many bodybuilders bf have you measured recently?
Were talking about Bill Smith and Jim Quinn bro, not Vince Goodrum.
-
i dont give a fuck who it was, 0% bodyfat is impossible
-
i dont give a f**k who it was, 0% bodyfat is impossible
here's the link
are you telling me an authority like jim quinn was lying?
-
Jim Quinn verified it on ESPN, the total sports network. Flax Whalton at 0% bf, you bitches!
-
Wasn't Billy Smith on American Gladiators? I think he was "Thunder" maybe, or I might be wrong.
-
Like others have said before it is not possible to have 0% bodyfat. Cell walls are made of lipids(=fat for you experts) as is the brain.
And don't get started on this negative bodyfat bullshit.
And when someones gets measured 0,0% bodyfat, and the measurements are made on different parts of the body with a caliper it means that the person is approaching 0,0% subcutane bodyfat. But there is a big difference between total bodyfat (always >0%) and the bodyfat stored under your skin.
-
Oh Christ LOL. I posted this on another thread, but I'll do it again to put an end to this:
You've just been the butt end of a practical joke. Check this link out
http://www.getbig.com/boards/index.php?topic=63470.0 (http://www.getbig.com/boards/index.php?topic=63470.0)
It's one of those Getbig things - like saying monster triceps. The norm is to start saying Jim Quinn and Billy smith measured 'insert name here' bodyfat which turned out to be 0/00% etc, etc. There's always 1 or 2 people who fall for it. This time, it happened to be you and a couple of others. YOU JUST GOT OWNED

blah, blah, blah.....ok Brainiac, then explain the great Jim Quinn's measurement? And don't call him a liar, or you will just look foolish.

Well..
This thread certainly went well, despite the fact I nigh on gave the game up early.
Good work kiwiol
