Chick Stats in MD

[Chick]

Chic, give Rusty back his trophy!

No trophies for 8th, bro....

Wasn't my call...I would've had him in the top 5 as well.

[OneMoreRep]

405 for over 20 reps, come on Robert Michael, if that were true, I'd suck your dick.  Shit, I'd suck your dick without you proving yourself, but really, why lie? 

[Chick]

Your guess is as good as mine..it's the age old dilemma when judging- Who do they reward, the guy with the better genetics, shape, proportion... thats soft?
 Or the guy with superior conditioning, hard, ripped, but aestetically challenged?

My personal preference is to place the guy with better symmetry and proportion higher...apparently, the jjudges went the other way with high placings for Stewart, Claude, and Stan...

So you concede that there were elements of the judging that left something to be desired?

[Chick]

No...it's a preference.

Like I said, it's tough to place someone when they have everything except for conditioning. With a different panel, he easily could have been in the top 5...

Thats the thing with BB and controversy will be forever around and probably why a reason why there isnt a strong mainstream following, it comes down to personal opinion

[the shadow]

Yes, I've done 405 for 22-23, can't remember...

I've done 405 on the SQUAT for 30 reps...

I've done 1,000 on the leg press for 50...

I was never the strongest, but I could do high reps with heavy weight all day long...

dude i believe you in every sense..your arms are just awesome man.i still remember when you had johnnie jackson on your fit show..you simply looked awesome and you totally dwarfed johnnie and i guess your arms are bigger than 21inches..they looked like 22inches to me...huge

[chris_mason]

Same thing goes for a natty too.

Some people think that their muscles have a preference over how a load is delivered. Like your biceps know that you are using a Hammer Strength preacher instead of a dumbell and they refuse to respond because they think machines are for pussies. fucking imbeciles.

Your point is well taken however there is a bit more to it.  I am not claiming this to be fact but when you consider that the human body has evolved in a world with movements that were much more like barbell training than machine training it is certainly possible that it would respond better to the former than the latter.  There are no constant resistance lifts in nature.  When you pick up a stone you don't have a cam to vary the resistance according to a pre-set formula.

Here are the results of the king of the bench, held at the olympia expo.

Lightweights
Joe Luther 420 pounds
Joe Mazza 420 pounds

Middleweights
Jeremy Hoornstra 615 pounds

Heavyweights
Brian Siders 625 pounds
Nick Winters 625 pounds

Reps for Lightweights
Joe Luther 225x30
Joe Mazza 225x29

Reps for Middleweights
Jeremy Hoornstra 315x27

reps for Heavyweights
Brian Siders 405x15
Nick Winters 405x14


if that doesn't tell you something............... .

I will say one thing, the bench for reps portion was done right after their max attempts.  Nick just missed 650 twice before repping out with 405.  He is good for 20+ fresh. 

That said you have an excellent point and I think Chick's memory is VERY rose tinted on this matter...

[bmacsys]

Go enter yourself in an Cyanide capsule eating contest.

Fuck, thats funny.

[sarcasm]

i have no doubts that Bob is a strong guy but i think he claimed 30 reps in the SQUAT with 405 not BENCH PRESS but realistically i'd put his numbers at 435 bench, 550 squat and 1300 leg press still very respectable numbers but not what he claims.

[The True Adonis]

I`d put his waist claim at about 34-36 at best.

[brianX]

1000 lb leg press for 50 reps.

[sarcasm]

I`d put his waist claim at about 34-36 at best.

exactly, i think Bob has one of the better physiques in the IFBB, shit at least he's got some height but i'd put his measurements at 51-52 chest, 34-36 waist, 27-28 legs and 19-20 arms, still very good.

[HUGEPECS]

I've never claimed to do 405 on the bench for 3o reps...I know I've done over 20, but 30 would be a stretch.

The other claims are true. measurements as well.

These are all time best, some exercises I don't do anymore...the waist measurement is also true, it's contest sized...certainly not off season.

I've never claimed to be the strongest guy in the gym, never cared.

what's up chick. I watched War for the worlds last night. It's fcuking great, man Where can I can #2 if it's out yet. great job, dude

no offense Bob but there's no way i believe the 405 for 22 reps on the bench, that would make you one of the strongest shirt free benchers ever.

[Mars]

Haha.

[IceCold]

For the SECOND time...I never said I did 405 for 30.

I used to do sets of 12 with 405...fairly easily. Theres plenty of people to vouch from Samsons gym in NY.

Try reading AND comprehending.

no, you said over 20.  that's close to 30.  how is that not reading and comprehending.

i doubt you EVER did 405 for 12. 

you also claimed a max of 525, which is somewhat belieavble.  if you can do 405 for 20, you should be able to do much more than 525.  your max would be close to 600.

[240 is Back]

No trophies for 8th, bro....

Wasn't my call...I would've had him in the top 5 as well.

Which athlete would you have had OUT of the top 5?

[ARMZ]

Which athlete would you have had OUT of the top 5?

Himself..

[gibberj2]

I've squatted 260 for 6 reps 

[ieffinhatecardio]

Damn do I hate agreeing with a suicidal 14 year old but I'd say these numbers are accurate except for the squat. I'd bet 550 for ass to ankles squats is a bit high.

[Scimowser]

405 * 20 = 405*1.63 = 660

[Jr. Yates]

405 * 20 = 405*1.63 = 660

you can go by those equations but only to an extent. like people saying your deadlift should be higher than your bench and things like that. everyone is different.

[gibberj2]

yea. i can squat but not deadlift
