500 on incline. Yep...........O'Hearn

[Coach is Back!]

The rare time I agree with you.

In this instance the topic is his lift which is impressive and some people can't even acknowledge it.

It's like that squat video between him and Efferding. Holy shit that was awesome. Give credit when credit is due. Dudes legit.

[BB]

I'm curious as to what years Mike was a California Judo champion, not to mention power lifting champion.  What years did he win all these phantom championships?  And one last question for Mike, if he's reading this in between selfies.  What cycle did you take to pull off the 500 bench in the video?

Mike isn't lying in my estimation, but he is over hyping a bit. Still a very strong guy -

The strongman contest he won was the Iron Warrior Decathlon of Strength - http://www.marunde-muscle.com/forum/showthread.php?t=20085 . These are a small California based contest that had something to do with Metro Flex Gym of Long Beach. It is a medley of OL, Strongman, and Power Lifting lifts.

The Powerlifting meet I can find for him is 1993 California ADFPA on 3/13/1993. He won the #242 class with a #650 Squat, #705 Deadlift, and a #452 Bench.

http://freepdfhosting.com/9bf6f248cd.pdf .

Here's a Powerlifting USA page with the #242 rankings for 3/93 through 2/94 -

O'hearn at #94 in the squat, not ranked on the bench, #23 deadlift, and #76 for total.

Looks like someone transposed the numbers on that page too, #1708, should probably be #1807 which would make him a lower 30's ranked on total lifter.

I'll see if I can find more.

I understand and find the threads about the selfies funny, but I don't understand while people outright hate the guy, seems he is not a dick like heath is or anything.

guy is strong as fuck and I would love to have a physique like his enhanced or not, which I could care less about nattys/users fake natties etc.   If mainstream society wants to remain on a witchunt about PEDS and uneducated about things then fuck them if someone claims natty and they buy into it, in fact I encourage it, fuck em

I remember seeing those titles listed in the MRP Nutrivet ads from champion in MM2K way back. This would have been around '95ish. Perhaps between '90=95 woule be a good guess.

I'm feeling the love....for O'Hearn.

[The Abdominal Snoman]

Why doesn't Hearn walk into an all Natural Raw bench press contest and break the world record for natural lifters? He wants the world to believe he's all natural. Surely a man with an ego like Hearn's would love to have that title.

What say you Mr. Hearn? Your incline bench press would be a world record for flat if you were all natural. lol

Since when is 455lbs , 500lbs  He clearly was pressing 700lbs on the incline, 100% lifetime natural steroid and rogaine free

[BB]

On the Judo thing, I can't call it either way.

He mentions being inducted into the Masters Hall of Fame Martial Arts, which is true, but that hall of fame is young(established 1999), smaller, and has multiple categories for everything from real fighting to acting. I can't find what he was inducted for. The website for that org - http://www.mastershalloffame.org/ .

--------------------------------------------------

In this video -

.

One of the comments was -

"Mike was a jr. national champion in judo when he was a kid 12 or so."

That means he might of won it circa 1981 - 1983, based on a 1969 birthday, and allowing a bit of swing. I checked in Black Belt magazine, and couldn't find him listed, but that doesn't mean much.

-----------------------------------

Also, in this interview - http://www.ironmanmagazine.com/profile-mike-ohearn-renaissance-man/ , he mentions -

"When I first came down to California, I met people involved in judo, and within a year I won the Mr. California Judo Championships".

I couldn't find a contest by that name either, but I can't tell if that was the actual name, or if it was garbled by the interviewer. If it was correctly transcribed or remembered, "Mr. California Judo Championships" sounds like it was smaller tournament. California has a lot of Judo players, you'd think someone would remember it, if it was a large contest.

------------------------------------

Just for fun, I also searched Black Black magazine for any O'hearn mention, and find him pictured here -

http://books.google.com/books?id=j88DAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA65&dq=mike+swain+mike+o%27hearn&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjf0Ni98P3JAhVDMSYKHdtSBrAQ6AEIHDAA#v=onepage&q=mike%20swain%20mike%20o'hearn&f=false .

The guy in the blue is Mike Swain, who is a pretty big Judo guy based in California. I wonder if he trained with Swain, or if he just get picked to be a model? It was the only time I could find him mentioned.

[BB]

One last thing, I checked the old rec.martial-arts archive to see if anyone mentioned him, this is the only thing they had. This was a huge group in the old days of news groups -

1996:

"Does anyone in the Judo World know what happened to the California
Heavyweight Judo Champion, Mike O'Hearn.  He was being touted as the
second coming in the martial arts world, and boasted of going to the Olympics
but I didn't even hear his name mentioned at the U.S. trials.  Didn't he
qualify or did he pull out for other commitments? --
Charles Verrastro"

"Who in the world is Mike O'Hearn?  California Judo Championships
doesn't mean much.  CJI puts them on annually, but usually it's just
another local tournament (state is too big to travel to these, we got
LOTS of tournaments here...).  He never made it to the trials.  He
never won a national tournament.  Where was he supposed to be
training.  I can say, with certainty, that he has not won a
significant tournament in the past 5 years.  Before that, I'd have to
check back at the records...

-Akeem"


For some reason, google groups won't direct link, but just search here - http://groups.google.com , search string -  o'hearn rec.martial-arts .

Looks like 455

[Mike]

I'll never hate on him for his strength and ripped physique, but his wig, eyeliner, narcissism, lies, and social media addiction are all fair game.

This is where Im at.

I have much respect for his physique and strength accomplishments but all the other bs and "natural" talk really makes me dislike him.

The dude openly associates with Piana.  If he had a PR person they would tell him cut ties with that guy.  

[phreak]

Can't fault O'Hearn for posting such an incredible feat of strength. I'd be wigging out if I just lifted that

If ever I tried lifting 500 Lb in the incline, there'd be hell toupee.

Yes i do not understand all the shit he gets. He does lift what he says.

I agree. Piana probably using an opportunity to get some free spotlight from Mike.

Meeting O'Hearn must be a hair raising experience.

[phreak]

Meeting O'Hearn must be a hair raising experience.

Must be confusing for his wife. Kiss him on the head, she gets called a carpet muncher.

[OneMoreRep]

Mike is a very nice guy who doesn't bash on any other fitness professional in this industry.

Is he natural? I highly doubt it, but who cares.

Is his hair real? I highly doubt it, but who cares.

Aside from these minor details, I do believe firmly that he has a phenomenal physique that looks perfect for advertising/promotional and sponsoring purposes. That guy has fitness cover model written all over him. I also believe the guy is incredibly strong.

He is approachable, kind to the fans and always willing to help others out.

Haters can hate all they want, but at least he isn't going around fucking grapefruits or getting popped for selling drugs.

[Man of Steel]

gorgeous natural lift

[guyincognito]

He ought to be careful. That kind of lifting will put on way too much size and BOOM, no He-Man role and Hollywood stardom for Mannequin Mikey.
