Hahahahaha, look at this assclown!!!!!!!!!

Since I have long arms, If I wanted to equate the same amount of work a shorter armed fellow does, I would simply not do a full rep as I am doing more work by travelling a greater distance.

eh, no. The amount of work is relative to the weight (the distance the bar moves). It has nothing to do with your arms.

If you have short arms, it's less distance. 

[MisterMagoo]

yes, but you're still moving from stretch to contraction, which is where the muscle stimulation happens. if adonis did the same rom as the short guys he'd get far less effect from it due to not doing making his joint move as many degrees.

OWNED!

Adonis is dead right on that.  Obviously a guy with longer arms is going to have to move the weight a greater distance even though they may both be using full range of motion. Thus, weight numbers tend to be relative to bone structure and distance traveled.

Awsome.. 4 reps... Total dweeb......

[VICIOUS_BEAST]

these guys are starters and just happy 2 be able 2 reach 100 lbs......wow..i remeber the dayz when i couldn't get 100 up....ha,ha..we were all there once...

strangely, though, the best lifters in the world are all taller and have longer limbs. it seems counterintuitive, but it's true. my guess is that maybe your upper arm is three inches longer than mine, but that means your upper arm has three inches more muscle tissue with which to generate the force in order to move the weight.

I think it's due more to the fact that they can carry a lot more weight and muscle on their frames. Getting to that level is the tough part, though.

i think that's exactly it. sure a 16" arm is bigger on someone short than someone tall, but a 6'3" guy has a much greater possibility of getting to a 23" arm and an arm that size that's also longer is going to be capable of a hell of a lot more force simply due to all the muscle there.

Agreed. Once they get to that level is when they're just scary.

Not on the bench. You're wrong. Benchers have short arms. It's an advantage with the deadlift.

bullshit. look at glenn chabot or james henderson. most of the top guys are over six feet tall.

[realkarateblackbelt]

Look at top benchers specifically. Short arms. You know not what you speak.

[Jujoshu]

It's true some guys are tall that bench a lot but that doesn't change the fact they still have to cover a greater distance than short guys..Plus a guy that is 6'3 345 lbs should be able to put up more weight than a guy 5'6 200 lbs..In theory. Lot of variables in play tho like bone structure and genetics.

[AussieMuscle]

I wish i could do the 100's, im still stuck on the 20's  lol

[Jujoshu]

Lightweight!

[wes mantooth]

"Know what im sayin...the 100's kid" 

ahhh,  kids say the darnest things....makes me want to smash their ignorant faces......

[Karl Kox]

haaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaahhaaaaaaaaa


"Light weight"     " Ya buddy "

hhhhaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh hhhaaaaaaaaaa

Exactly.  I have read some of your other posts as well Jujoshu, don`t you have some sort of Masters Degree?

Either way, you always stand out as someone with great intelligence.

[onlyme]

The problem is with TA is he is FULL of excuses.  Rather than do something he has an excuse why he can't.  He has showed pics of him deadlifting.  Well since his arms are so long it makes deadlifitng allot easier, yet he only deads 600.  Why is that.  The funny thing is when someone brags as much as he does, they usually have soemthing to show for it and somethign to back it up, yet we have never seen anything.  This claim of deading 225 for 200 reps or whatever stupid numbers is sheer fantasy.  He has never done it before yet pulls those numbers out.  I used to like TA cause of hsi entertainment value.  I never believed he was serious.  But, lately he isacting like he is serious and when called out he ignores or just hope it goes away.  The problem is some of the young gys are believing his line of crap.  He has no respect on here or other boards.  NONE.  All because he can't back up what he says.  Ifhe was real hewould get his shit together and prove everyone wrong.  He would be a king then.  Till then he is just a Board Jester.

[musclehedz]

Damn these kids are skinny. Not surpisingly, cuz they are training their ego instead of their muscles.

[LASTREP72]

Dam I thought he was going to hit those with a deep stretch for a nice set of 12 or 15 (As his title says reppin with the 100s). I use 45kg dumbells (99lb) for military presses for 3 sets of between 7-4 reps FULL. But someone should post that Goggins clip where he does a set of 50 with the 100lb dumbells - now that was worth watching.

[Alex23]

The funny thing though is the fact that he is in better shape than most people that post here.

Yes, including you.

[gtbro1]

hahahaha check out the vid where hes "repping out the 110's LOL...monster 4 reps with spotter and 5 inch ROM lol lol
