Open Challenge to TitusisBack!

60lb side laterals are a piece of piss - I do them on a virtual daily basis. There's nothing special about that.

Cue Squadfather with my pic in three...two...one....

[titusisback]

I believe you're a former competitive bodybuilder, however again without seeing your pics that means schitt.  I've seen people compete who barely bench 225 for a single.

HAHA! So, you're saying you can be a competitive bodybuilder and be weak. You mean like.... NASSER?!?!?

actually i agree with you here, 60 pound bells isn't that much even on lateral raises but 140 pound db shoulder presses is HEAVY AS SHIT, plain and simple.

I'm sure you can move 60's somewhat, however actual lateral raises to your shoulder level I would imagine about 40 lbs a piece from your pic...MAYBE 45.

Depends how you do them...I think if you're doing laterals with good form then it's pretty darn hard to 50% of the weight you would bench.  60 lb dumbells = 43% of 140 lbs, which is pretty equivalent I think in terms of comparing one's lateral raise to dumbell press ratio.

BLOODY HELL!!!  

Squadfather agrees with me! Squaddy, you have just gone up a notch on my respectometer.  

Seriously though, 140lb shoulder presses are very good if true. Even doing inclines with that weight is decent and if someone is making that claim I would expect at least picture to go alongside it.

Again, nasser has twisted your vision of what is "strong". As others say, 60 lb laterals are FAR from being strong. Yet you find it impossible to believe. Jeez.. get off that nasser crack and smell the coffee already!

Do you realize there are powerlifters that bench 1000+ lbs when your homeboy nasser is repping with 225 lbs?

[SS]

Wow I'm sure some skinny guy that claims to shoulder press 315 behind the neck just made a guy like Sf's day cause you respect him

wasn't it like 5 post ago where you claimed you would make SF your bitch in the gym.

Who cares what powerlifters lift?  Nasser would destroy any of them in a posedown!  That's like saying Mike Tyson is a better boxer than Hulk Hogan lol.

60 lb dumbell laterals with good form is strong, I've seen very big guys pick up 70 or 75 and just lug them around...have hardly seen anyone do proper 60 lb laterals

[The Squadfather]

i disagree with titus in that Nasser could do far more than 225 for 15 on the bench at his strongest, i would say his strength was probably right in the middle of the road for an IFBB pro, not exactly Ronnie Coleman or Bertil Fox but not on the weak side either.

So titusisback was mediocre in his dumbell laterals but strong as hell in his dumbell press?

yeah i'm assuming there was a bit of a swing on those.

dude... I said I'm using 60s for laterals these days. Back in the day, I was stronger. Again, my BEST set of inclines was done with 140, but I don't move that kind of weight anymore. Comprende? Here's a pic again in case you didn't see it.

Looking good.  I would guess from that pic that you could bench 120-130 for reps in those days.

Haha, "very funny". If that's what you think, in that case based on your photos I'd guess your bench max is around 80-90 lbs 

[SS]

It's funny how guys like titus and Big j always "use" to lift that kind of weight

WTf are you guys retired now or something?

[CT_Muscle]

So what are 135 lb dumbbell presses for say a triple, world class as well?

[bigbobs]

Haha, "very funny". If that's what you think, in that case based on your photos I'd guess your bench max is around 80-90 lbs 

lol, you dont know how to take a compliment do you?  I wasn't trying to be "funny."  There isnt much difference between "120-130 for reps" and "140 for 6 as at very best," so we came pretty close to agreeing, yet you're still melting down lol.  Coming to an agreement is just not in some people's vocabulary I guess.

As said, my weights are downmaybe 15%. Yeah, I train just for fun now, don't compete anymore. Is there something wrong about that?  

[bigbobs]

What I also find funny is how Titusisback discredits what Nasser "used to lift" as well and only focuses on the fact that he isnt as strong today, meanwhile quoting his own "what I used to lift" compared to today's "my gym only goes up to 100s"

[titusisback]

Sorry, my bad. I thought you meant 120 lb in regular bench press. 

[bigbobs]

Sorry, my bad. I thought you meant 120 lb in regular bench press. 

lol, no I meant 120-130's for dumbell press

[titusisback]

lol, no I meant 120-130's for dumbell press

When I was ripped, I couldn't do even that. 140 lbs was offseason best with 40 lbs higher bodyweight. I remember doing regular bench presses two weeks out and 260 lbs was heavy as fuck, when normally I'd rep with 315 or so.
