ROFLMAO!!! WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?

Just watching that makes my back hurt.

[The Squadfather]

damn Zach how do you hold that arch for so long, that makes my back hurt just watching that, you did that 335 pretty easy though, that 455 wasn't even close though but you know that.

[The True Adonis]

Fat and Delusional.

He would surely place dead last at a Powerlifting meet.

Being THAT fat and lifting that much weight. LOLOL

[MisterMagoo]

my back is extremely flexible. holding it is just a matter of practice. i know it looks shady to you guys, and let's be honest if you're a bodybuilder what i'm doing there is entirely worthless. but if you're doing a PL meet, the tighter you can make your arch, the better you can do. as long as my ass and shoulders are down it's good.

yeah, the 455 was just sad. i bought that shirt recently and still can't get it on right. i'm probably going to ship it back to inzer for a quick modification (bring the neckline way down), then we'll see how that goes.

get a inzer 6 layered steel reinforced shirt as used to by big egen, you will be hitting 500 for reps.

All kidding aside.

Do you not care about the stretched skin you may have and the fact that you are obese?

I know being obese helps with lifting overall weight, I`ve been there and done that.  

Are you going to stay looking like this or are you going to change?  Just curious.

yeah i know about competition benching i had a friend and training partner who did 660 officially in a shirt and he was the same way he could hold that arch like that, he was 5'11" 295, he only did 500 shirtless but got a lot out of the shirt, that 335 looked pretty easy though.

[MisterMagoo]

eh, my skin's brittle. i had stretch marks when i was 215, the marks at 260 are a little bigger but not enough to make me all self-conscious. i also made sure to cover them up on my right side with a giant tattoo, haha.

like i keep saying, i have a meet on april 22nd (provided i can arrange a motel or something, that's starting to look a little tricky  ), and after that i'm going to take a few months and trim down. i'm no bodybuilder, so sitting at 3% is not only pointless but counterproductive for me. if i get down to around 220-225 that should be plenty, then it's time to work back up.

yes with two layers of ducktape.

i didn't realize you were as tall as you are.

thanks, man.

people forget how little or how much you can get out of a shirt is dependent on a lot of things. some guys have massively strong lockouts and great technique, so their shirted benches are 300 pounds over their raw. some guys have a lot of chest strength but not much at the lockout, so shirts won't get them nearly as much.

i missed 365 raw by an inch last week, mostly because i couldn't hold my form. i'll see if i can get that one on the old youtube.

[MisterMagoo]

i'm a good 6'1 or 6'2, yeah. with little-ass t-rex arms, a big help in the bench but it fucks me over hard on my deadlift.

Good for you if you really plan to pursue powerlifting.

Let me know if you need any deadlifting tips.  

[swilkins1984]

Maybe the guy was trying to turn a flat bench press into a decline. Looks like an ass though

That's a pretty good competition form.

[MisterMagoo]

Sorry, "Zack," but there is no way you're 260.  Your arms look 15.5", you have basically no mass to speak of, apart of course from your pot belly.  epic delusions

dude, if you want a picture of me on a scale, i'll do that today. i've been between 260 and 265 for the past few weeks. and my arms taped at 18.5" last time i checked. i have no damn reason to lie, so far i've backed up every claim i've made concerning my lifting. why would i start making shit up now?

You do realize that you will be around 150 or so if you decided to diet down.

Adonis is there any danger to getting to thin to the point that you lose the fat pads in your face that help everyone look young, Can one get them back to the original form.  I noticed guys that are really ripped have serious hollow eye syndrome making them look very old and their skin and eyes never look the same again even when they put some weight back. What is your opinion on this, is it a myth?

[benjamin pearson]

hahaha.... Zach is quite the delusional little bi-sexual

are you talking about Troy Alves, nycbull?

My Gay stylist told me that the other day!   The chiseled face look is cool though!


I think a lot of it has to do with people overtanning, as far as how the skin looks when lean.   One should never use a tanning bed and not go outside without sunblock.  Your skin will thank you!

Reebok should make a "The Pump" shirt.  It would blow up the chest until it touches the bar while it is still racked.  Then you could really show how strong you are.

[benjamin pearson]

ya part of that look imo has to do with being dehydrated as well
