USC player, 200lb DB's, 8 reps, incline
« on: December 31, 2007, 09:01:32 PM »
The 6-foot-1, 305-pound senior has grown so strong that the Trojans had to buy a set of 200-pound dumbbells for their weight room just to accommodate him. "Before, the heaviest we had were 160s," said Chris Carlisle, the Trojans' strength coach, who adds that Ellis can now do sets of eight reps on the incline bench with the bigger iron.




legit?  ???

I believe it.....however it's absolutely not necessary for what he does.

Don't disagree, there a mainstay in my strength programs, but if i'm going to have a guy get injured, I'd rather see him injured on the field, not in the weight room, there is no functional reason to push that kind of weight exept for ego. Especially a D1 player.

thats true and i think most college strength coaches use barbells for heavy pressing.

      squats and inclines are two big lifts for lineman.

They are, but I usually use DB's on the incline for either change or unilateral movements, when I have my guys do incline BB, I have them use a fairly close grip to use more tricep....not as wide as regular presses but not as close as tricep presses. DB's are always more functional than BB simply because you use more stabilizers in the movement. Same with DB inclines, elbows in and on both I will use a 4-0-1 tempo.

Why not? It isn't even an accomplishment. Just eat all day, lifting for only eight reps,  will get most people fat and strong. What an accomplishment... ::)

No way. Flat and incline BARBELL work is VERY adequate for Max Effort work. NO need to ORDER bigger Dumbells if the 160's wouldnt suffice

bullshit, let's see some proof, for now the claimed "200's"= 130's, still a damn good lift.
