Are you implying that Italian Lifter and Wes are still going at it about which of the two really deflowered Mae West?

Hahaha, what I am saying is that Wes and Italian Lifter were the inspiration behind the line "A hit, a very palpable hit." from Shakespear's Hamlet, when they were sending eachother WYHI tapestries by horsemail

Yes, it is clear that Wes and Italian Lifter are NOT made of such stuff dreams are made of and won't shuffle off this mortal coil that easily.

All depends if you touch your chest with the bar or stop 6 to 8" away like most pros do.

Hulkotron · « **Reply #53 on:** July 25, 2012, 06:50:17 AM »

Most pros seem to "touch" (slam) the chest to get a rebound effect then have about a 5" range of motion, claiming this "isolates the pectorals" (oh brother).

225x20 is not that impressive for a heavy guy who has been training years!

true, but if you don't train for high reps much, it's pretty good.

Ursus · « **Reply #58 on:** July 25, 2012, 02:14:40 PM »

If someone can do say 12 reps it would not be that tough to get it to 20 as its more conditioning than strength in my experience.

adonis claims 315 on the incline for 5-6 in his permafrost days could you replicate that?

mesmorph78 · « **Reply #60 on:** July 25, 2012, 03:11:01 PM »

I could probably manage 1 or 2 with a good ''bro-spot''(dead lifting as I press and saying its all me)

Ursus · « **Reply #63 on:** July 25, 2012, 03:15:12 PM »

This is a few months old and my 2nd (possibly 3rd) exercise and last set

315 lbs. (BW) x 18 reps
225 lbs x 42

Viking11 · « **Reply #68 on:** July 25, 2012, 08:19:33 PM »

I used to see a lot of his videos he posted on youtube,can`t remember his username,but he was strong on all his lifts,especially rowing movements.

That's close to my best. 225x19, forget what my bw was. Prob 240+. Can get 225 for 12-14 at 220lbs right now. Always wanted to get 315 for a solid set but the closest I ever came was 295x7. Damn strong though Goudy. Your natty?
