I don't need to watch any videos to know when I'm being lied to.

Hope that helps.

You've been hit in the head quite a lot right?

i don't think anyone even took the time to read the link Goudy, and if they did the wouldn't care.  People at getbig are not interested in chinning.  They like b-pressing and squatting because it better suits their obese condition.

Hmm the way he puts down the bar on the bench, like its nothing. Squat looks very real, the bar is bending, deep squats. guy had super strengths.

The generally acknowledged all-time chin-up/pull-up king is a guy named Alex Lowe. He was one on the worlds premier free climbers, technical climbers & high altitude climbers. Cat was unbelievable and absolutely indestructible. A legend in the climbing community. In a daily workout, which indeed lasted the entire day, he would complete 10 sets X 75 reps of various PU's & CU's. Cat did them as easy as I do bodyweight deep knee bends.

He was killed by an avalanche in 1999.

I don't know much about him. Some of you guys can probably correct me but he did get better after something bad happened to his lower back.

those are primarily muscle endurance feats (and I'm not sure that they are that impressive).  Does he have any strength accomplishments to boast of?

As far as powerlifting and bodybuilding go... no not really. Cat did climb Everest without supplemental oxygen and he was one of 19 people who have ever climbed all (14) 8,000m+ mountains in the world. Only 13 of those are alive, all the others died somewhere on a mountain.

10x75 reps probaly doesnt correlate to strength as well as you may think.

Though i guarentee you no matter what weight you are if you do that amount of reps you can easily rep 2x b/w which is astounding strength
