Beast........I appreciate the respect at least on my end ,because I know you like to come here to have fun [to each his own] and really be positive [so I appreciate the respect for real]. But bro , where do you kids not see that he was trying to help alot of people out by just using the kid as an example. He wasn't trying to promote the kid ,he is not a sponsored athele by his company. All he was saying is that kid is strong for a 22yr kid ,has nice clean looking physique [who knows if he is or not ?.......but I have a way easier time believing this kid is clean rather than Locket], and the guy has some athletic ability to boot[can dunk at 5 '10] .The first pic shown had him doing a 585 assisted beach I believe and Dante even aknowledged that the spotter was helping probably took away at least 100 -150 away from the lift. All that was being said was that was damm good for a 22 yr old lean kid [probably clean lifetime] ,he can hoist some heavy iron. How many guys here can do a real 405 raw bench no matter how long or hard they train ? [Squadfather ,obvisously a built guy that has trained long and hard admits he can't ...........I know most guys would get crushed with that weight even with 3 spotters. I personally have trained off and on since 10 and I am 37 . I did use juice from 23 to 25 and at a fair conditioned 300lbs[on gear] I have benched 535 2-3 reps on several occasions . Now at 37 clean for 12 yrs at a pretty lean 240-245 [but certainly nothing great] and can get 405 for a very hard 3-4 [ sad but true ] And I have been told I am gifted and I always been stronger as well more athletic than 99% of the people I have ever witnessed in person.....If I even tried to support 765 or even 585 on the bench it would smash me right now even with a spotter. And that is a fact. Even with the gay ass " Jimmy the iron bull Pellenchia " [ remember him for the 90s .......do a search on this guy from the 90s ......he had the joints from hell ......could do some amazing cheat lifts and assisted stuff ...even got a MD and Twin lab contract for his lifting ability....do a search on him.....the kid lifts just like him] What Dante is saying is that reguardless of form or assistance just to support those weights without getting hurt is amazing...........ever try to walk out of a rack with 765 on your back ? It freaking hurts..not fun at all .....I had back surgery last dec [ my second one ] and very slowly working on my squat and deads [despite having back pain still which really sucks] but my lifts in the squat and dead lifts are very slowly creeping up.[ but still a couple hundred pounds off of my bests] If I tried to walk 765 right now ,I would be crushed instantly even with a spot. All Dante is saying that for that kid to do the shity lifting style he does ,not get hurt, and develope a pretty darn good physique along the way is pretty amazing. He was making the point so that some guys on here don't hurt themselves chasing something that ain't going to happen.
How many guys on here risking their health or freedom by juicing ? How many guys spend all their hard earned cash looking for new supplement proticals ,fad dieting techniques or exercise routines, or even on books/ mags? All he was saying ,if you enjoy bbing then give it an honest shot. Do everything right for a few years.[ diet ,heavy progessive training, lots of rest , zero drugs] Then after a couple of years of consistant effort it will become apparent that you are something special that has some hard choices to make [like this kid ] or you should just train for health, to look / feel good , and for the benifits to your mental health as well. He is basically saying this because too many guys use just to be the big guy at the bar or gym, try to turn nothing into something with drugs[ yes ,there are pros and many top ams like this .....but do these guys make it or is it worth risks they are taking?],and to be honest most of the hardcore lifters aren't lifting 10 - 15 yrs later .[ and they end looking like shit ........so why even go there ? Oh yeah , out of selfish ,obbsessive , insecure behavior.......right?] So Beast, Dante was trying to help you and everyother guy out there .For you guys to jump his shit and turn this into a let's all attack Dante because he full dogcrapp pillow party is wrong. He honsetly gives a fuck about you and all the guys coming up .Yet he can't even post here unless he is prepared to defend himself........don't you honestly [ don't be a kid here ] think that is wrong ?[I know you guys what to have fun .....by why with a man that could and wants to help you guys?] ........I would love to post here ......I have lots scoops from inside pro football ,MMA , powerlifting,and of course bbing. I am a for real a never was been ,my body could never hold up .I don't have the genetic abilty that the guys that make it have to stay healthy .But I have been to the fringes ,know lots of tops guys in those sports mentioned , and I have lots of expirience to learn from. But would I ever be dumb enough to post stuff here ? Nope ......the whole thread would turn into ....you are a bullshiter .....stupid attacks ......and other crap that makes it worthless to post [ I am sure dante feels the same] When I was younger [I might not have listened ] ,but I would have loved to read the shit Dante had to say .[he had a newsletter and in fact that is how I met him so I did ....lol] but we are older [which sucks....ha ha ] and wiser now . And a much much better perspective of things...... I would love to help you guys out ......But ..........
