I'm not trying to compete with yasser's contest condition of placings in case you've misunderstood (again). As far as strength claims go, I've listed some modest lifts many agreed are not special at all. But we're supposed to believe there's a video of yasser inclining 495 lbs. That's hard to believe but I'll believe it when I see it. As simple as that.
Well, let's see pictures of him after retiring at 300 lbs with abs. They don't exist? Got it.
Again, I've never compared myself to yasser as a competitor. His placings were quite good, but he got his ass whooped not only by Dorian but Flex too. But if you're belittling what I've done, can you tell us what great achievements you have under you belt?
You never explicitly tried to compare yourself against Nasser, however when you continuously bash a certain pro like you do the fair question naturally arises as to how you compare to him yourself. As for my myself, I've never continuously bashed any pro bodybuilder on a bodybuilding forum, and therefore I don't have to answer to compare my achievements with theirs.
As for the incline barbell press video, I chose the topic of the thread as an intentional play of words in that in actuality it was a video clip screenshot of a Flex magazine picture; was just meant for irony purposes, which you obviously did not seem to get. However, that said, I dont find it unbelievable that Nasser would get 1 or 2 reps out with 495 on incline during his prime, as he does have some pretty incredible shows of strength like the pic doing 1-2 reps of seated dumbell press with 200 lbs, and videos I've seen of him doing overhead dumbell raises 200 lbs for 5 reps, barbell curls with 255 lbs for reps, etc. Unlike you, I do not need ot see a video of EVERYTHING to believe it's possible...just like I didnt ask you to show a video of you doing 140's for incline dumbell press but I still acknowledged that it's believable.
David Robson, an unbiased third party, confirmed that Nasser today is over 300 lbs, and although his recent pics are not topless (since he no longer competes), you can easily tell from his definition in his forearms, calves and lower quads (when wearing shorts) that he is very lean and obviously lean enough to show abs. Once again, only a pumpkinhead would insist that is not true and NEED to see a picture or a video for proof.
And no he never got his "ass whooped" by Dorian or Flex. In a subjective sport like bodybuilding, it can easily be argued that he deserved to beat each of them from 95 onward. He also did beat Flex very decisively at the 95 Mr. O (3rd vs. 8th place), and in 97 he would have beaten Flex again otherwise Flex would not have backed out of the Olympia while making up that silly Ninja story
