Benching 315 lately?

[chaos]

100% bullshit.

For Chrissakes, Getbig has some colossal bullshitters.   

You're quite the colossal bullshitter yourself, stud.

[Hulkotron]

We've had two studs in the last few pages claim 225x40.

[Krankenstein]

coach is a fucking dumbass. He truly thinks chains and bans will increase your 1rm.....Ill take him to the science books on this shit and own his ass on the topic............ Chains and bans are not required to increase maximal strength by any means, and are quite pointless. Lifting submaximal weights at maximal speed  with accomodated resistance using chains and bands like he does with his athletes  is for looney tunes...

Tell that to the guys Louie Simmons trains you shit stain.  Those guy warm up with your max.

Cite a specific claim of mine....

I can do 33 at the end of my benching.

[Coach is Back!]

LOL, ya but seriously not kissing your ass or anything bro but I consider you probably the most knowledgeable guy here on couching and training and of course for athletic performance and training methods are important but all I am saying that they are not the bread and butter of achieving strength gains.

Like a bodybuilder, he needs to train and he needs to eat to getbig of course that is a given but the genetic elite in strength did not get to world class strength from some lousy training program, I am sorry but they didn't, they had the gentics and the mentality to supercede their limits and to be frank training had very little to do with it, I know it sounds stupid but it is true.

I ran a marathon in 09 and it took me slightly over 4 hours (i know pathetic) now the guy that won did it in less then 3 hours (I think 2;40 or something). Anyway the guy did not run different them me and had I done everything he did in training, would have not made a difference bro. The body functions instinctively and genetically at a world class level, some secret training does not produce the world class athlete, it simply doesn't, these guys are born great and training is just a marginal mandatory tool, nothing more.

I couldn't finish a marathon in 4 weeks let alone 4 hours

who the fuck are you to tell me about louie simmons? I know more about westside, know more guys who trained at westside, then you will ever know in your little finger....

[Coach is Back!]

Then tell them they don't need bands and chains and.see how that goes over. lol

[flinstones1]

thats cause its louie's way or the highway......you do what you do to be there.

.but have you ever  talked to someone behind closed doors who trained at westside and holds world records there, what they really feel about louie's training methods  

[Krankenstein]

Yes, because GH15 told you everything....    I would love for you to tell the guys at EliteFTS they don't know their shit either.

I would bet that you wouldn't have half the totals you do if you weren't pumping more shit in your body than the winner of the Kentucky Derby son.

Well, being that my little finger has no cognitive abilities, thats not saying much about you.  Now perhaps you want to try again?  

Hmm...he's 64 y/o and puts up better numbers than you.

Oh hell yes. They also know if they don't like it they are free to leave. If it didn't work they wouldn't stay. Do you think if those methods didn't work, the elites at Elitefts wouldn't use them.as well?

As far as I know Louie has changed his ways......I was referring to the classic westside system. 1 max effort day, one dynamic effort day using weights at 50-60 percent of 1rm at maximal speed for 8-10 sets of doubles...followed my specialization work. I have no idea what goes on at westisde as of 2012....Im referring to old westside, guys who trained there in the 90's and early 2000's..... I know guys that have  left there, and felt they improoved.

 As for the guys at EFS what does that mean? Half the guys on there hate Louie....even ones that trained at  westside. Only guy I know over there that  preaches his old methods is Tate....

Actually 40 reps is on a bad day 45 reps is more accurate, want to wager something on this?

[tbombz]

Lol @ thinking 315 for 13 is impressive

[nevertrustanyone]

Cite a specific claim of mine....

your claim that you're not a gimmick....

[polychronopolous]

Incline

FCKING BEAST!!

You continue to make consistent gains year in and year out...props man, that's a helluva lift!

great post.

[Sherief Shalaby]

I'm surprised everyone's so crazy about 315lb. Its really not that impressive like it used to be. I've seen quite a few guys including myself handling that at the gym no problem.

for any one on steroids, big or small it's not impressive at all..

for any natural it's very good especially if you are a small guy like me lol.. dont tell me every natural guy who is 80 kg can do it for 3 reps.. now at 75 kg i can do it for 2 reps..

[Sherief Shalaby]

when i was 21 i was bench pressing 145 kg/320 lbs for one rep and a friend of mine who is naturally much bigger than me and one year younger was bench pressing 140 kg/310 lbs for one rep.. then he started to take steroids,.. after one year i was still pressing 320 lbs and my friend was pressing believe it or not 240 kg/530 lbs for one good rep..

[Sherief Shalaby]

to the ones who dont believe onetimehard cant do 40 reps with 220lbs, lol, i absolutely know he can.


me myself, i cant do that, the record of mine was maybe 20 reps.

you are very weak for being on steroids

[mesmorph78]

225 I've banged for over 40

[Sherief Shalaby]

in my defense,its just hrt

i just did 220 for 18 in the gym today

 

i can do this and i am natural 

[outby43]

225 I've banged for over 40

where's the proof?

[Busted]

do 315 every week for 15 as i pyramid up to 405 for 8

[Ursus]

Lol @ thinking 315 for 13 is impressive

The thing is is it 315 for 15+
