They don't, some claim to be powerlifters or rugby players...the latter is my excuse  :P

I am a powerlifter...in one year I won the East Coast Classic AAU Raw 198lb class in powerlifting...and took fourth at Mr. PA contest with no drugs in a non drug tested contest in a middle weight class of 13 guys. You do not have to be fat to be strong. That is a fallicy. You also do not have to be weak to be ripped...that is a cop out.

Tell it to these guys:
hahahaha getbiggers aren't impressed with them garraeth, unless you're 164 pounds at 1 percent bodyfat and bench a pair of 27.5's for 5 reps and fit into size Smedium Hollister and Old Navy skin tight black t shirts they aren't impressed.

heh I'm not impressed w/ them either, they are sickning on multiple levels...I've mentioned my 500lb college roommate before, he sat there eating McDonalds while bragging that he could legpress 1200lbs.

yey.

he legpresses that every time he sits up
well they both bench 800 and Jeff squats 1200, that impresses the shit out of me but i know there are much stronger keyboard heroes here on getbig. ::)

wah wah wah if you don't train strongman you don't train hard. we could throw the same accusation at you if you've never done oly lifting. or if you've never gone through the insanity that is a college wrestling practice. hooray, you drag a sled or flip tires. try a ladder series of doing nonstop grappling matches for 1 minute, 2, 3, 4, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 with a different opponent each time, rest a minute, then repeat the whole thing and you'll see "what intense training is".

::)

to answer the question, i've gotten a nosebleed before. also burst vessels in one eye. however, i've since learned not to do that so much, since it didn't really do anything except leave me real beat up.

MAGOO YOU WRESTLE?

Yeah, but their negatives far outweight their positives, imo.

Plus benching/squatting with a 2" or 3" rom isn't impressive. Now if they were my height and as lean, then they'd be moving 18"+ rom...lets see them do that!



exactly

jeff just looked like he was taking a crap and the bench is all about how to get your belly so fat that when you pull the bar to it the rom is about 2 inches.

westside has had some great success and great competitors, but imo it's mostly smoke and mirrors.

they're strong as fuck but i agree with g, the negatives far outweigh the positives.

i think wolfy's starting to see the light and has been leaning out between comps lately. well, lean for him anyway.

i've actually done two local level strongman meets here in STL, we used to train the events every Saturday and just lift weights during the week, eventually was using 215 pound tanks for the farmers, lifting the number 3 stone to chest level, doing a 650 pound tire flip and push pressing a 270 pound log.

nope, you're not strong, just really fat.

now get down from the basement. mommas got apple pah to nibble and poppas got some fresh wipped cream especially made for you. :P

dunno, is it really ok ???


is it really ok for you to live in your ma and pa's basement and get molested by them twice daily. :-\

no wonder you've been comfort eating squad. i don't blame you at all, and i don't blame you for pretending to be a 'strongman /pro bber' either. i mean if i was getting the daily treatment you've been getting i would probably act out a bit of a fantasy life too. :-[

i really feel so sorry for you squad. are you suicidal ??? :D

dude on the right's name is scott nutter. nice guy, has some GIANT tattoos on him, which is crazy when you think about the real estate. he recognizes he needs to lose weight, and as far as i know is at least attempting to slim down. jeff lewis is a hell of a lot taller than those two.

personally, i've always said i'd rather be mike wolfe than frank zane.

I wasnt saying that strongman training is the only way to go.  I dont even compete in strongman I compete in powerlifting.  All I;m saying is that some of their methods of training are extremely intense.  Your grappling story is great, but I thought we were discussing weight training intensity.

The physiques of powerlifters are absolutely revolting.  The fat guts, bloated faces, double chins, pimples everywhere, slimy skin and that waddle.  Yes the waddle....they walk like they have a bottle shoved  up their butts.

To all you young guys starting out,  please don't aspire to be powerlifters!

I just have a general hatred for powerlifters.  The way they prowl the gym floor, sniffing and grunting.
