Title: Mike Tysons lifts
Post by: MoralMan on August 21, 2006, 02:03:22 PM
Dear Friends
Kind reagrds

What kind of weight do you think Mike Tyson could push?
He used to do weights after his prison years,
Someone told me they heard a 1 rep bench off 500lbs!! ::)

Yours thankfully

Not sure but Early on Leroy Colbert was his nutritionist when he was champ.

Then it was Chad Nichols after prison.

I highly doubt it.....Tyson's hands were always to sore and bruised due to all the rape and spousal abuse to handle that kinda weight.

Post by: pumpster on August 21, 2006, 02:07:16 PM
Like most boxers, he doesn't use weights much. His lifts wouldn't be that high because he's not even used to lifting in general; he's naturally strong and could build up the poundages fairly quickly if he ever trained regularly, but doesn't.

Chad Nichols said that Mike Tyson was one of the most naturally strong Athletes he had ever seen/worked with.

Also said Mike was and always has been steroid free.

I have seen Mike Speed rep 225 on Squat ass to floor.

I saw Tyson work out a few times and the guy spent more time biting spotters, smoking weed, and raping Ivanko plates than he did lifting. But for the sake of argument, I'll wager 42-1 that he can't put up 365 for a single.

More like 215 - 220lbs. (in his prime) now he's in the 230-240lbs. range.  Despite his age and decline in skills, he'd still OWN every member of the squad in a street fight or boxing ring.  hahahaha!!!

Tyson was a monster thick and thick!! He did a circuit type training 3 times a week. I can believe he can bench 500 because of his crazy powerfull  punches. He wouldn't do it bodybuilding style though and would use a lot of momentum. Tyson could knock down any of those UFC "fighters" with his eyes closed.
Title: Re: Mike Tysons lifts
Post by: IceCold on August 21, 2006, 08:35:23 PM
alexxx, please.

tyson has been offered a shit load of money by both k1 and pride to fight, but he will only fight boxing rules - as every boxer would vs. an mma fight.

from your previous comments on the video you thought was randy couture, you know nothing about the fighting sports. 

he wont be punching anyone on his back.

tyson is too stupid to figure out a dosage, line up that corresponding number on the syringe and inject it.

Onlyme is right, Tyson was never known for strength. he had insane hand speed and explosive punching power. that is why he was so good, add in some good footwork and there you have it...

when he was younger he was strong for his size but once he went pro he trained for explosive power and hand speed...i know he did mainly dips and chins for upper body training. i have one of his old routines somewhere i'll try to find.

I remember actually that Chirs said that Tyson slapped him in the back of the head and he did nothing back.  I think he knew while against and alot of guys size makes a big difference, but Tyson is Tyson.  Chris is a St. Bernard, big and could do some damage, but Mike is a Pit Bull, absolutely deadly.  I think later the story said that Mike apologized, because he did it for no reason and Chirs didn't seem to deserve it.  I can't remember how it exactly went though.  At least Chris isn't like Titus going around calling out pro fighters, he knows when to say when.

i can't believe Cormier would say something so stupid, he can't actually think he'd have a chance against tyson, i'd love to see him just get his head pounded in for talking shit like that.

Sarcasm, are you suggesting that Cormier isn't the "real deal"?

I remember actually that Chirs said that Tyson slapped him in the back of the head and he did nothing back.  I think he knew while against and alot of guys size makes a big difference, but Tyson is Tyson.  Chris is a St. Bernard, big and could do some damage, but Mike is a Pit Bull, absolutely deadly.  I think later the story said that Mike apologized, because he did it for no reason and Chirs didn't seem to deserve it.  I can't remember how it exactly went though.  At least Chris isn't like Titus going around calling out pro fighters, he knows when to say when.
thats about right, chris also said the only thing he was prepared to do was tackle him until help arrived. Chris knew better

There was a feature in FLEX mag's Hangin' Out (a great column by John little) a few years ago. The story was, that Chris was out at some club and he says someone slapped him really hard on the back of his neck. In his own words, "His hands are really hard, felt like a table. Anyway, I turn around all furious to see who it is and it was none other than Tyson. He saw the look on my face and immediately put his fists up. And man, I just stepped back - I mean, I was mad enough to hit him, but not stupid enough to do it. Anyway, a few days later, me and my boy Rico (McClinton, who knew Tyson) bumped into Tyson somewhere in Venice. Rico then asked him, "Hey man, why did you slap my boy?", to which Mike answered, "Aw. I was just jokin with him. He's a big boy, he can take it" or something along those lines.

Damn, I have a damn good memory 8)

Yep, you're 100% right. Damn, those were the days. No internet and the only news I got about the events in the bodybuilding world were primarily through FLEX. I used to love that mag. They had pretty good writers and articles. Now, of course, there's Getbig and everything else. I now realise that all those guys were



ALL DRUGS ::)
