oh brother, they've got a training article this month with Marius Pudzianowski and they've got a picture of him incline pressing 585, squatting 765 and shoulder pressing 405 ::) what do you guys think?

hahahahah, I'm surprised they didnt blow up his squatting numbers proportionately. That would put his squat in the upper 900's  ;D

Well, he is a multi-time winner of the world's strongest man competition... I guess it's "possible", but I doubt he would train like that every day...

hahahaha, the funny thing is that the pictures were from the same "gym" that the infamous Art Atwood 585 incline and Mark Dugdale 495 incline pics were taken and a with the same "plates" no less. ::)

I would believe t he Squat and shoulder press....that is, if the shoulder press are like the ones he did on the fit show. The incline press is bogus.

yeah maybe if he push pressed it but there's no way he strictly pressed it, especially standing.

Mariusz squat is very strong, the 765 would be no problem at all for him. The bench and the shoulder press arent even close, although he was benching 350 at 16. By his own admission his best lifes are:

Bench Press 605lbs
Squat 800lbs
Deadlift 870lbs
Scouser on Tour

i once saw marius bench 650 pounds for reps then just turn around like nothing and begin repping it out for 21's. he said all the taking off of the plates and such wear him down so he uses the 650 principle. were everylift is 650. kickbacks are tricky

Even if he really could do those lifts they still use the fake plates in the photo shoots.

I garuntee he wasnt even using as much weight as they say.  My friend used to train at Golds Venice and he watched them shoot the photos for Ed Coans article in M&F.  He said they had like 700 pounds on the bar and then some fake plates on the ends and just had him do a walkout with the weight and snap the photos real quick.  It actually doesnt even make sense to use real weights when doing a photo shoot for a Gay porn mag like Flex anyway.
