I think the "freakshow" should give up the dumbells and go for max strength in legs and dunk a baskeball like spud web, now thats a challenge, with more payoff/rewarding IMO. go4it

Freakshow is a pretty big dude, it would be quite a challenge to jump that high at his bodyweight...

I CAN DUNK!!! Or at least I "could" (it was never pretty tho). I have a bulging disk L5/S1. So landing with my body weight on that disk would probably handicap me.

I was playing basketball on a regular basis at the Lord's Gym in Compton just 18 months ago. Had to stop cause of the back:(

And Legs were my best body part when I was bodybuilding.

Sick bro! How tall are you and how much you weigh? Even moving them for the set you did is crazy strong in my book, not to mention your coming off a pec tear. I have always prefered DB presses for chest but all my pressing is on an incline. I m 6'2" with long monkey arms flat does nuttin for me.

I'm 5'10" about 250lbs. Moving the weight around is the worst part. You have to roll them to the bench. You couldn't possibly walk through the gym carrying 400lbs without hurting somethin'. Have you ever done Flat Cable Flys??

Great job! How heavy were you training when you tore your pec doing barbell bench? What was the max that you had done around that same time? Just curious. Thanks.

Your technique is wrong.

spinnis · « **Reply #37 on:** July 16, 2009, 03:21:38 AM »

You actually workout?

Get the fuck out of here.

Strong boii!

Pretty damn good. Better than that poser Rodney Roller at MD and his 200lb lifts.

is your spine condition reversable? dont u think the juice just might have something to do with that brother? i am not hating on you just trying to help just like everyone try to help el falconie

rayrod · « **Reply #40 on:** July 16, 2009, 05:10:31 AM »

Did u have a full or partial tear. I had a full tear and I can't do any flat pressing. Db or bb. I can decline and incline. Your fortunate to be able to gi heavy again. Everyone else I've seen with a pec tear is never the same

Good stuff Fred!

(nice website as well/watched ur video/products look/sound great)

Great lifts man! Depending on the surgeon, the pec that was torn can be stronger after the surgery, lifting heavy doesn't necessarily mean it will be torn again.

I tore it doing reps with 500lbs on the bench. Didn't max at the time so I don't know what I could have done.

Van_Bilderass · « **Reply #44 on:** July 16, 2009, 10:50:43 AM »

What kind of numbers have you done in other lifts?

Maybe I missed it but did you have surgery for the pec? Complete or partial tear?

I have a bulging disk (L5/S1). I hurt it building rafters in the garage a few years ago. I was up on a ladder and had a 4x8 sheet of plywood above my head when the wood fell backwards. I was able to stay on the ladder and not fall, but I pinched my disk.

If I train to keep my back strong and stretch consistently then I'm okay. But I cannot apply any serious compressive forces or impact.

I was very lucky! I actually caught it as it was tearing and stopped the exercise. I went immediately to therapy. I worked with Steve Murphy. The same guy that worked with Melvin Anthony after his tear and he also works with Jay Cutler.

I'm pretty strong on everything. Pulling movements are my weakest tho.

I haven't really tried pushing the limits since I started training again. But I will be posting more videos on different exercises in the near future. So we shall see:)

This is an AWESOME video of Stan!

He is a World Champion Powerlifter that weighs 275lbs + though. So that is to be expected.
