lay nortom's latest lifting video is quite disturbing

[anabolichalo]

how come this guy squats and deadlifts impressive stacks of weight but cant bench for shit?

[anabolichalo]

by the way he's going bald

[The Abdominal Snoman]

androgens

[anabolichalo]

androgens

i dunno it's genetics mostly

a lot of guys with average at best test levels go bald


ronnie coleman still full head of hair after 8 olympias

[Obvious Gimmick]

Deadlifts  were all shit.

Bench was good. If not a bit light.

Squats were bad form but green lights and good poundage

All and all I give him 3 dildos up

[anabolichalo]

so layne quit bodybuilding and took up powerlifting right

or is he doing both at the same time?

i wonder how much more abuse his spinal discs can take

there is no question this will not end well

What do you mean? I would rate the bench maybe a bit higher than the rest.

really?

i thought if you squat over 600 you should at least bench 450?

[Powerlift66]

Some people got shit shoulders My buddy pulls 645 at 195 body-weight, but cant bench 300...
Weird..

well to my understanding what makes a good deadlifter breaks a bencher - long arms

[H.I.I.T.]

He tore his pec a few years ago so he prob goes light on purpose

[Van_Bilderass]

Nah, you will also have to take into account the style he squats with. It's a parallel, low bar squat/good morning combo. And take into account the style of benching and structure.

I would rate his bench higher than the squat. He doesn't have the best structure for benching. Him benching 450 in that style would be insane.

Also remember that he tore his pec and had surgery.

[Mawse]

yeah he tore a pec being a giant attention seeking douche

 he was doing benches with reverse bands with terrible form and his bb.com minions kept egging him on with 'awesome strength bro' posts, until he put too much weight on the bar and tore his shit trying to cheat it up for youtube


his bench is what, 350lbs? Not exactly impressive but poor responders usually seem to have weaker upper bodies and more leg/deadlift strength than guys with a good aas response.

i hear it speeds up genetics. IF you were going to lose your hair, it happens sooner.

That's hardly unusual for powerlifters. Taller powerlifters tend to be great deadlifters but lousy benchers.  Shorter powerlifters are often great benchers but not-so-great deadlifters.

Grade A douche with a sophisticated touch of being highly educated.
He must hate his body, who grinds out such "good" mornings and deadlifts...

[MAXX]

390 with a stop bad for a natural lifter? yeah okay.

[Palpatine Q]

who would subject themselves to that, my back hurts just watching that idiot.  it's all fun and games until something goes "pop"..just ask Ronnie Coleman.

I'm 47 years old and have never sustained a notable gym injury, no accident that I don't do singles and triples...ever.

It's dangerous and maybe stupid but it's so much fun. After you've stood up with 600-700-800lbs going to safe workouts and pumping it doesn't even feel like you trained.

My body is a mess but I will lift heavy until I'm in a wheelchair or stop altogether.

I think I read somewhere that Ronnie said, after asked if he would have changed anything, that he would have lifted more weight! Maybe false bravado after the fact. OTOH Yates said he would have been more careful pre-contest.

jar of flies was one of his weaaker albums

I tend to think so, too, but in all fairness to the guy, he did rip a pec just a year or two ago. 

[L00n]

a fine example of destroying your joints.

[Marty Champions]

how many natural supps does lay claim to take?

[deceiver]

his squat form is piss poor.that doesnt even hit the legs properly.


oh the natural boy who grows into shows is going bald, who wouldve thought.

he doesnt care, he competes as a powerlifter as well, number is the ultimate goal there.

btw bashing weightlifters for doing something "stupid and dangerous" sounds very weird when you abuse steroids... it's just as dangerous, just in different way. yes, there are tons of weightlifters and powerlifters who got away with it. going for max is only before competition, NO POWERLIFTER trains like that all year long. most of the time they are working hard on their technique, using much, much lower weights and slowly building them up to their max for 3+ reps.

layne has to do shit he does (goodmorning-style squat) because his structure sucks donkey balls for squats. i have even more respect for the guy because my structure is perfect for squats and still he outsquats me by a 100kg.
