I just wanted to bump this to show new members how not to try to start a criticism thread.

What a douchey attempt.

There are thousands of delusional individuals on youtube, why pick one who appears to be handling things pretty well.

Notice how each rep is fluid in motion like a well-oiled machine.

He knows his center of gravity and fulcrum points well.  Again. Impressive.

unless that guy is very tall those dumbbells look like they are made up with 7.5lb plates and not 10lb plates
Title: Re: Monster incline DB presses
Post by: TheEgoCrusher on September 28, 2006, 09:34:47 PM
Could tell about the plates.  If that is 145, that's damn impressive for that many reps.  Couldn't tell how much the guy weighed.  I'm guessing 250 as his face didn't look too fat, but it's hard to tell.  If he weighs 300+ plus, that's not as impressive but still powerful.

thats kinda rediculous man. lets say if it was a barbell incline can you really see someone repping 300 pounds that many times? i can see the biggest and baddes repping 15-18 but not 28?????????

The one arm pulldowns are not impressive as with one hand it completely makes more of an advantage as the body will shift to compensate for the workload

I am certain that I have done 5 plates one-armed.

the one arm pulldowns i believe because it's not that hard but the 145lb. db's for 28 video is not real.

Post by: gracie bjj on September 29, 2006, 07:35:32 AM
thats insane to say the least,ive never even seen anyone come close to that,maybe 10 or 15 reps tops but never 28,impressive bigtime

I don't have experience of that machine, I just paid attention to the number and the excellent form TBH.

One thick German dude no doubt though.

You've got to be right, but it's weird. Even if those plates were only 7.5's, the dumbells would still be 125 lbs. I can't imagine the dude would have the time and resources to put together a complete pair of fake 145's. Looks like a dinky home gym in the video to me.

But 145 x 28? Something is smelly

the guy did like 30 reps.

could ronnie, kevin, etc. do that many reps?

possible fake weights.

the guy wasnt even struggling, and he doesnt look like gary frank or scot mendelson.

Ronnie would do it easily. He does 150pds inclines like its nothing and willingly stops at 20 reps.

28 reps with 145 means that he could do at least like 8 with 200´s a la Ronnie...I know there are strong people out there but this guy doesnt look AT ALL that he can manage this kind of weight...
well, who knows? ???
Title: Re: Monster incline DB presses
Post by: Hedgehog on September 29, 2006, 01:03:10 PM
I watched the clip again after reading sarcasms post, and the weights look weird.

With that being said, he's strong, here's 12 reps in the smith machine incline with 320 lbs.

It just seems way too easy for this guy...I retract the arm size comment; he does appear to be a very large dude. If those are indeed 150's I am fucking impressed I mean 25 plus reps, textbook form like it's nothing and not even to failure, even Ronnie wouldn't be able to do that.

I'd like Sarcasm's opinion on this  ;D

i already gave my opinion, i don't think that video is real, i believe the pulldown one but not this one, it reminds me of this Cybex plate loaded bench press we used to have at a gym i used to go to, you would see 150lb. guys pressing 3 and 4 plates on each side so i decided to try it out one day and i ended up pressing 7 plates on each side, 4 plates felt like 100lbs., if a guy doesn't have the size relative to the weight he is pressing 99.9 percent of the time there is an explanation.

Yeah I don't think that is real.

We have a new atlantis lat pulldown machine and a little guy training there told me its so easy. The dude weights 135 pounds and was doing 225 pounds for 8. So I decided to go try it and ended up doing 20 reps with 310 pounds. Couple days later I came back to tape the lift for you bitches and got under the 310 pounds again and couldn't budge it.  :(

Hi,

another german user on this board told me at  www.bbszene.de (german Bodybuilding Forum) that somebody is talking about the incline dumbell presses at youtube.com.

1. I know this guy for 43 years, "it`s me"

2.  i`m 6 "3", my weight is around 275 lbs (+-)

3.  I train for 25 years now

I never made the claim that these dumbells are 145 `s.  The real weight is 52,5 kg. It`s an old dumbell stack made in germany in the early 70`s (1972). the weights are 3,5 kg X 7 + 0,5 kg X 1 on each side of the dumbell. The weight of the dumbell grip is around 2,5 kg.
the heaviest dumbells i ever pressed where 75 kg (165 lbs) for 7 reps + 1 forced rep.

I don`t compete right now, just train for myself, 

6 years ago (with 37) i won a local power-endurance competition in my region, which was organized by 2 local gyms. The organizer claimed before that Bodybuilder/Weightlifter have no endurance and can`t rep out with very high reps. The weights for the exercises where equal for all (Squats, 80 kg, Deadlift 80 kg, Benchpress 60). I know he was wrong....My total where close to 300 reps on all 3 exercises. Of course i was the heaviest, or 2. heaviest on that contest (total 14).

Hope my english is good to understand, "tell me pussy or whatever.....it`s only an internet-Forum, so that won`t bother me a lot"

Keep on pumping....i hope to "rep-out" for another 25 years!!!

Karl/Germany (Charlys69)


P.S.  i don`t know if this is the real forum-area for this. Between Ronnie, Jay, ...and all the other great champs it`s honestly not my place......

That`s Bertil Fox in the early 80`s. But it's defin. no incline press, i suggest he trains his biceps, the upper half of his reps maybe train his shoulder a little bit (but it could also be dangerous for his rotator-cuff).
That clip maybe is from hiy video "Brutal Fox".
Bertil fox is sent to prison (lifetime) in charge of killing his wife + his wifes mother in St. Kitts/Caribean sea.
I saw him in the late 80 `s in Germany at the FIBO (Worlds biggest Bodybuilding & Fitness Convention)

There a not a lot of guys that can do what you just saw.
Title: Re: Monster incline DB presses
Post by: Charlys69 on October 06, 2006, 10:29:53 AM
i train 99 % of the time by myself, but speak a lot to other Bodybuilders/Powerlifter/weigthlifter,...

also i read the major BB-Magazines, watch Training-DVD`s. Most important change in my training was 10 yrs.ago when i read the book "blood & guts" from Dorian Yates, an shortly after that the video(Blood &
guts..) which inspired me a lot. I will say "form" is important + also "weight/resistance" is important.
but with both you can be to strict or to heavy. so a form that`s it`s ok and allows to use a "good" weight may produce the best results. If you train all the time to strict, your weights will be lighter, which is not optimal. Usingto heavy weights at the other side don`t allow proper Form, so that the stress on the "target muscles" is not the best it could be, but thestress on the tendoms/ligaments/joints is so high that injuries and pain is more likely to occure.

it`s like Lee Haney said 20 years ago, "intense is good, but to intense is not good".

If you want to get true perspective of Karls strength watch the video when he does dumbell rowing with a 100kg dumbell.I watched all the videos he has posted a couple of days ago,very impressive strength with perfect form,and a unique way of training by pausing between reps.
Title: Re: Monster incline DB presses
Post by: Charlys69 on October 06, 2006, 01:19:08 PM
It`s a training system i "test" for the last 2 months. It`s called "PITT" (PITT-Force).
The guy who made it popular in Germany is Karsten Pfützenreuter who was a competitive Bodybuilder
in the 90 `s in Germany and won his state-championship in Nordrhein-Westfalen (the region with the highest population in Germany) in the light-heavyweight + also compete thereafter as a heavyweight.
His wife Nicole is act. a Female Pro Bodybuilder in the IFBB and competed several days ago in Atlantic City. Karsten right now is in the States with Nicole (NY-City).
He trains many Athletes in germay with PITT. He started out using that system in 2000. I personally know
act. German Bodybuilding + swiss Bodybuilding-champs who trains with that system.
OK, "a system is only so good as the people who use it" but "PITT" works very well.

I don`t know if there is further information in english about that system. On a german Website  www.Body-Xtreme.de is the meeting point for many PITT-Users. And there will be more an more every week. So stayed tuned, i think you will hear more about it in the US in the future.

Title: Re: Monster incline DB presses
Post by: crownshep on October 07, 2006, 03:39:05 AM
Karl,i`m very interested in what the basics are of your PITT force training sysytem,can you explain them to me,and do you plan on putting up any videos on youtube of your leg training using this system.
