Nice synthol'd biceps LOL. Struggling with 150s as well hahaha

[bigbobs]

thats not an Olympic bar

I think it's a 30 lb bar.

thats why I left the title as "3 plates" not "315"...either way, 300 lbs is a lot.

hahaha he's not nowhere near struggling, it's a pretty high rep set actually.  He's curling more than 50% more than Dorian does in Blood in Guts in the pic above!

[England_1]

Those aren't even 150s.....more like 130  count the plates.

LOL it's 150...I saw the video, and if you count the plates including the two on each end after the 10's you'll get 150.  Love how people make excuses here, one of the reasons I wasn't bothered to post pics for so long.

There are 6 10lb plates on each side plus a 5. That's 130 buddy.

Nasser is WEAK LOL.

Struggling with 130s correlates perfectly with his showing at the 225 challenge. A monster 15 reps hahahaha

Ok, here's the scoop:

150 lb dumbell presses is NOT impressive in case you didn't know that. My personal best is 6 x 140 lbs at around 240 lbs. My contest weight is around 200 lbs. Nasser is around 30-35% heavier both offseason and onstage. So, he should be pushing 200 lbs. Him pushing 150 lbs dumbells is less than he lifting his own bodyweight! Pathetic!!

Newsflash!!! That's what strong pros such as Coleman do! Translation: Nasser is weak in this exercise. And since this thread was about presses, discussing this further is pointless. We can also safely assume that nassers bench using a barbell is weak. Otherwise, there would be a video available to prove otherwise.

Amen

You forgot the fact that those aren't even 150s, they are 130s look for yourself

He does 140's before that, and the video shows the 140 on the end of the plate, and from there he grabs two bigger dumbells for his next set, the one above.  At the end of a long chest workout he does incline barbell press with 315, I didnt take a screen shot of that....he didnt come close to failure on 225 x 15.

And you havent addressed the question as to why nasser is curling more than 50% over what Dorian does in Blood and Guts (I think 165?)

Thanks for the correction. Another confirmation that nasser is extremely weak for his bodyweight

BS on the 6 x 140 claim without pics, either of your lift or your physique.  Nasser gets over 10 reps with the 150's...there aren't many more impressive dumbell bench press clips I've seen, and I've seen a ton of pro bb videos.  And no the thread is not entirely about presses...it started discussing an incline barbell press picture, and continued to accusations that Nasser is weak overall and trains like a girl, so I posted several lifts.  I also love how you havent addressed ANY of the other lifts LOL.

[England_1]

Agreed; Nasser was extremely weak for his size and it showed on stage. Even Shawn Ray commented on his tape about big weak guys like Nasser. Shawn did 180lb DB for incline bench whereas Nasser struggles with 130 lb on flat LOL

[titusisback]

 I also love how you havent addressed ANY of the other lifts LOL.

70 lb laterals not impressive.. I use 60 lbs myself. Again, he should be lifting 35% more = 80-85 lbs. Verdict: weak for his bodyweight

[titusisback]

This is how it's done

post video of nassers lift.. not screenshots. I bet his reps aren't even full

[titusisback]

Oh yeah.. how is 585 partial deadlifts supposed to be strong when for example Coleman and JJ pull 800 lbs off the ground for reps.. FULL reps! I bet nasser's deadlift max when doing full reps is around 450-500 lbs.

[Meso_z]

Nasser LOOKS like a strong guy but he is NOT.

[Meso_z]

I think it's a 30 lb bar.

thats why I left the title as "3 plates" not "315"...either way, 300 lbs is a lot.

Do you have a vid?

It's 10 reps though, equivalent to about 4-5 full reps.  When I do rack deadlifts I pick a weight I can do about 5 times and I usually get about 10 off the rack.  Also, love how you're switching your stance from "Nasser trains like a girl, he can't bench over 225, etc." to "well Nasser isnt as strong as Ronnie Coleman" LOL

[titusisback]

Also, bigBS THINKS nasser's a strong guy but he is NOT.

Keep loving. There's still no proof nasser has ever pressed anything even remotely heavy. Pressing less than your own bodyweight is WEAK. Girly, one might add.

Why did David Robson's post get moved to the dump?

No disrespect to Nasser here, but who the fuck does a 315 PBN wearing red suspenders, purple socks, and blue jean daisy dukes?

Definitely not me.

I would add a winter hat and a pair of sunglasses to that outfit.

when you can shoulder press 3 plates a side, you can wear whatever the fuck you want!

Yes, these lifts are very "girly" 




Tell you what--I CHALLENGE you to find any other pro's video curling anything over 255, hell, even anything close to 255 k?

[titusisback]

150 lb dumbell presses is NOTHING compared to this
