First pic is dismissed because it was taken AFTER the JP incident when Flex started using fake weights, the Nasser pic was taken BEFORE the incident when they had real weights.
Second pic is dismissed becasue it's flat bench, not incline...totally different exercise.
ummm, you're conveniently ignoring this:
one pic in muscle and fitness (didn't even have flex back then) shows the golds crew at the time, consisting of the likes of alzado, gaspari, mcclish, eversons, etc and i vividly remember mike christian standing on one end holding 3 45s on his outstretched hand like a waiter would flamboyantly hold up a plate of food. zero strain on his face or body (he was wearing the typical string tank of the times) and that big shit eating grin he always had on his face (cocaine is a hell of a drug). even at 12 years of age it was obvious to me that these were fake plates.
i'm sorry bobs but loving a guy doesn't make him incline 495lbs.

in all the training vids you've seen of your man (and you've seen them all) don't you think it's in nasser's best interest to lift the most weight he can?
despite this, he has NEVER inclined anywhere close to 495. btw, your pecentage theory is beyond ludicrous and would make anyone with the slightest clue on strength cringe for you.
sorry bobs, but until you clear nasser's cum stains from your spectacles you will learn nothing.
