FOR QUAKEROATS - VIDEO PROOF OF LIFT CLAIM (Part 1)

[QuakerOats]

Squad-STFU you fat 5'3 350# slob.

 ALL of those reps were clean-ALL OF THEM.


PLUS, those were more SHOULDER presses than incline presses, if he lowered that incline to 35-45 degrees he would be hitting 135#'s.

so i take it that a spotters hands on your elbows="clean" reps to you?

[Bobby]

Props man! reps look good to me, going lower might be risking injury.

I did delts today too, nowhere near the 120's though. I did 85s for 8, 90s for 6 and 95s for 4. can't do much more on 2300cals a day...

[wavelength]

Okay, so about a week ago I made the following lift claims - dumbbell presses with 120lbs for 10 reps, incline barbell presses with 315lbs for 8 reps and 465lb squats. Quakeroats called BS -  understandably of course.

So I'm in the gym today and it's delts and triceps and I decide to take a video of me doing said dumbbell presses with the 120s. Just to show I don't lie about my lifts. The footage was filmed at the world famous Temple Gym in Birmingham - Dorian's place.

Here is the Youtube video:-

Quakeroats - an apology if you please.

great lifts, props!

You said they were 3/4 reps, not spots.

They were not 3/4 reps, they were clean, or 99% clean.

Spotting on the final 2-3 reps is just that -spotting.

He had the bench almost straight up. That is a damn good shoulder press.

If he had the bench at 35 degrees, a low incline, he could hit 135-150's.

is this a lovehandle?

[NarcissisticDeity]

No he's just like Yates with really thick obliques lol

As soon as the hand touches the elbow, it's forced. Not to take anything away from BigJ, still amazing lifts.

when did i say he couldn't hit the 135's? and FULL reps are the plates of the db touching the shoulder.

[Overload]

Strong mofo.

True. But the risk of injury is exponentially higher. He'll get the same development by using the ROM he's got now.

/one shot rotator. i know

Thanks for the positive comments guys! 

The dumbbells in our gym go up in 10lb increments from 110lbs onwards - I've done the 130s in the past and I'll probably start them next week now I can do 120s without too much bother. I reckon I could do the 140s for a double at the moment but it's finding a spotter to lift it up onto my shoulder that's the hard part!

[JohnnyVegas]

Thanks man!

You need to get the incline lower......and yes, the hard part of anything over 130 DB's is getting them up top.

I used to pull them up onto the top of my things, at the knee, and then kick them up-but anything over 120 or 130 and I needed someone to hand them to me at the very top.

Quaker owns ND's obsessed mind lol

Good reps but the last few you got major help, IMO you could've gone a little further on your own before getting an assist.
