now remember this guy is like 5'6" 220 lbs., 495 incline barbell press, 5-6 reps....545 flat barbell press, 3-4 reps.....700 lb. barbell squat, 5-6 reps

Well his range of motion is 1 inch so he gets 5 spotters to hand him the bar and than help him lift it off. $:-\$

sarcasm · « **Reply #2 on:** February 26, 2006, 05:29:57 PM »

my bet is that he couldn't lift those weights off the rack.

It does seem a bit far fetched but 220 at 5'6" is pretty big (i didnt realise he was as big as that)

sarcasm · « **Reply #4 on:** February 26, 2006, 05:36:27 PM »

he's saying that he's stronger than onlyme who is 6'0" and at his strongest was 300 lbs. and inclined 505 for a single and flat benched 585 and is probably the best presser who posts on this board, he's lying his ass off.

Looks good, but certainly doesn't look like a physique capable of incline pressing that much weight.

The photo at the top was when I won the nationals as a middle weight and the other photos are of me around 90 odd kg after not going to the gym for like a year or so .I am know back up to around 96 kgs after training soild for a year now
This is when i was around 95 kg

paul84 · « **Reply #10 on:** February 26, 2006, 05:56:16 PM »

Do you have any pictures at 250lbs? Or gym shots or something?

HRDCOR · « **Reply #11 on:** February 26, 2006, 06:00:28 PM »

Probibly some where , I was a big puffy bastard though , hence why I was quite strong, I think the scientific term for it was Bulked Up !! that was Priests fault !!

Some verfiable lifts for comparison:

Anthony Clark, one of the greatest SHW bench pressers of all time, 495x3 incline press

Don Reinhoudt, one of the strongest SHW powerlifters of all time, 545x1 incline press

Dru Patrick, a current SHW powerlifter with a particular aptitude for upright pressing movements, 530x1 incline press

Thats cool I was only doing 440 !!!

Ok what about lee priest whom I have been with when he has smacked out 4 1/2 plates aside on the incline smith for like 10 reps !!! where does that put him in the scheme of things, plus my training partner of 6 years whom could bench 6 plates a side for like 3-5 reps ,and could Db curls 55kgs for reps , and could shoulder press the 90kg db,s for 6 reps or so , where does that put these guys

Dude I would love to show that but I wont be , cause like I have already said I lifted very heavy way back when I was competting and weighed around 250 lb bulked up and juiced up, now I weigh around 210 lb(clean) and have only been back training sort off hard for around a year after taking a year completly off, at best now I could probibly manage 5 plates a side for a couple of reps as I havnt been under the squat rack seriuosly for years and I could manage about 3 plates a side on the incline , ( I did do 5 plates a side on the hammer incline tho the other day which I was impressed with)
I am not trying to shit any one here , jsut at my strongest I lifted some pretty descent weight , I could always out lift most of the big guys in some movements like the squat , the incline press and the leg press , remember I am not very tall and was juiced to the max ( well my max any how), but there were always guys stronger than me that I asure you !!

FREAKgeek · « **Reply #17 on:** February 26, 2006, 08:45:47 PM »

I believe it's possible. Shorter guys usually have favorable leverage. You also don't have to be very big to be blessed with great neuromuscular efficiency.

SS · « **Reply #18 on:** February 26, 2006, 09:07:47 PM »

I believe it. just look at Mr Intense he's 5'6 and can shoulder press 3 plates on the smith machine!

Alexxx I don't to be able to press shit. All I have to do is wipe you out of my asshole and poof you're gone.

Cavalier22 · « **Reply #20 on:** February 26, 2006, 11:58:12 PM »

onlyme were you a better pusher or puller? what was your best deadlift ever?

505 on incline, jeezus man taht is strong as hell

Van_Bilderass · « **Reply #21 on:** February 27, 2006, 12:53:18 AM »

5-6 reps with 495 @ 250 would pretty much make him the best incliner ever. Unlikely. Probably had a guy spotting him if he had that weight on... you know, the type of guy who says "it was all you" but pulls from the first rep.

BULLSHIT. 6 plates a side for reps would make him one of the strongest benchers ever.

Scimowser · « **Reply #23 on:** February 27, 2006, 02:46:30 AM »

6 reps on the shoulder press with 200lb dumbbells? Who is this guy, cos he has Ronnie Coleman beat by a long long way
