Why has everyone suddenly turned against Keith? Has he been outed as a peadophile or something? He seems like a good guy thats had an intersting life - unlike the majority of basement dwelling internet warriors on getbig.
Whats he done to piss everyone off?
Only a few have and some of them are gimmicks. I could care less about them. I have close to 800 Pm's from people on here that are all positive and supportive. Many still ask me for training advice. I may not look like what I did below anymore but I still know more than most of the guys on here that are pretending and afraid to post their pics or tell us their names. Anyone, (most) who posts on here and talks shit and refuses to disclose who they are in real life is a troll and not taken seriously. I have had many people PM me to tell me their real name so that I know they are real, even their email and we communicate back and forth.
For all we know most of these guys are just kids who get together and come on here to put down guys and try to make them look bad who in real life kick their asses all the time by the same type of person. It is the perfect "revenge" for these guys. Hide behind a computer and say what you want to guys whohave acheived more than they ever will. Attempt to make them look bad while hiding behind a computer. Means nothing to me. I love coming on here cause its funny and informative at the same time. Guys like TA who has done really nothing in their lives are now big names on here. Big deal.
As for my strength. Never have I bragged about how strong I am now. In fact I have said it a million times that most of you on here that actually train are probably stronger than me now. I can't help that at that moment. I haven't been able to train like I used to since about 2000. I was fine to train right after the bite. The reactions and sickness didn't happen till a couple year later. When I lived in Vegas I was still pretty strong. I could still do 405 for reps and 315 BNP. Just not as easy or as many times. My weight was up in Vegas though. It wasn't until I got back here that my leg started bothering me when I couldn't lift anymore or even get around easy. It is also when the Lymphodema set in and my leg started getting really big.
Not sure if I was stronger than James but I do know that I would never have a spotter like he does. The msotI ever benched was only 585. It was very easy and I did try 600 right after but lost it and I never tried again. I had a mindset that I would bench 600 before the World Championships. The day before I left for Vegas for them is when I tried. I think I could have gotten it if I didn't do so many sets before. I was to tired. And I never tried again. The most I ever bench after that day was 545, but I did get a 505 incline in 1994 or 95 at The Gym.
Onlyme claims to bench 400lbs for 20 reps does nt he?
And somewhere on here I think I put a retraction to this statement. I entered a bench for rep contest here and I thought it was 405. Well someone PM'ed and said it was 315. So I put on here I made a mistake and it was 315 not 405 I did for 23 reps. It was almost 20 years ago, so I don't even remember.
And when people on here think I am name dropping or bragging, I don't think I am. Even though I think I do think I mention to many peoples name on here. But I do it when that person I name is being talked about. Or I do to show validation. If I say something I did you can ask who I mention if its true and they will tell you. Instead of how many people on here just say shit that no one can find out if it true or not I include names and places and stuff so if you want to check call them or ask them when you see them.
And I am proud of what I have done. It took allot of work and time for me to do what I have done. And the biggest thing is that the situation I am in now makes those times even better. So I like to tell them. And so far from the PM's and other messages most other like them too. So the few who like to rag on me about it keep it up cause its funny.
And to answer the question about James and me. He is stronger now. But, I would have love to train with him back when I was strong. It would have been funny.
