[mesmorph78]

I remember the article still have the magazine, ernie had his own column in fle then, in the following months article someone wrote in and asked him i he really did 405, he said yes
 

[SF1900]

That is how he got those large triceps. 405 pound extensions and lots of protein.

[Hulkotron]

Yes Ernie likes steaks and working triceps.

Man, I was expecting that Photoshop that huge dude in cutoffs, doing one arm tricep extension with what liked 5-7 25-35 pound plates at each end of the dumbell.

This dude, who is a real person, just Musclemag did a photoshop, someone mislabelled it as Vic Richards

[titusisback]

Dude, it's 5 plates / side. I found the original photo.

good warmup

[mesmorph78]

Funny thing is doing even 225 on skulls is impressive .... Why use fake plates to depict a rediculous impossible weight...

Hey Mes, is Ernie Taylor Jamaican?

[Figo]

With all the natural champions that get drug-like results from dedication, genes and just training really hard,

I think its possible Ernie really dedicated himself to developing super strong and huge, synthol-like triceps, with injection sites and everything, through sheer drive, triceps genetics and hard work

How he balanced himself sitting down with a weight behind his head, that many can only squat, is also quite a feat

[doison]

Apparently you haven't seen his triceps.  If anyone can do 405lb, it's him

Look at the other side, looks like only 2 plates that side. Photoshop instead of fake plates?

Jamaican decent possibly

[Krankenstein]

Look again, the other side has more then two.

[Donny]

So? Dude, you don't build massive tris like that with pussy-weights...

I already did 200lbs for reps on the incline like him on the picture a couple of times. Lets say I go from 400mg/week of PED to 4000mg and start eating like a pig. In theory I think could approach the 400lbs level but I think my elbows would get ripped apart much earlier.

and yea those plates look fake as shit

[Julio Ceasar]

Wow, what a beast!

Yeah you see 400lb tricep extensions all of the time.

[prizm]

Most I've seen done on skulls is 315 by powerlifter Jeremy Hoornstra...but the guy also benches 650+. 

[polychronopolous]

Probably simply switched the whole barbell to one hand and repped out 8 or 10 kickbacks right after for a superset.

[POB]

Wow, what a beast!
