Haney did four plates for five or six reps in his 1987 video with the same "gym form" which I would do 305ish for one with. If I stay natural, I'm not sure if I would ever get four plates, but I think 350-370 might be a possibility.

I hope Lee gets this transferred to DVD. Do you guys notice bodybuilders are usually pretty bad at marketing themselves? Lee is one of the best ever and he is like "the forgotten BB".

I just watched this, funny how he talked about not taking steroids in the beginning

So if you're Ukrainian you would have known what is said underneath my avatar and you wouldn't have called me russian you dumbass. Ukrainian and Russian there is a difference and don't even get me started.

I was born in Ukraine when it was still called russia! So actually I am Russian. It really shows because of how my physique is superior to yours.

So don't call yourself Ukrainian if you are of russian orgin I can't stand that, a complete disgrace to Ukraine. So you are a russified Ukrainian unfortunately. But to call yourself Ukrainian you would atleast think you would know and speak the language that is spoken there whether you are russified or not. I have a major problem with russian in Ukraine. russian better not become an official language.

you understand this?

So you couldn't read Ukrainian and you couldn't tell the difference between Russian and Ukrainian languages.
With your grasp of English that is a total of three languages you can't read in.

Laying the empty bar on top of four plates aside doesn't count as lifting them.

God, it was so nice when you got spanked and had your little time out.

I didn't say I lifted it yet.. I am approaching it and have 315 reps for 2 easy reps.

pretty sure I could do it if I use that crappy powerlifting form..

brianX · « **Reply #42 on:** March 17, 2006, 05:32:30 PM »

315 for 2 reps isn't even close to a 405 max. I've done 2 reps with 355 and still can't do 405.

Four 45 pound plates with a 35 pound bar and assuming you use collers so add another 10 pounds is only 235 pounds. Man your weak as hell! If I were you I would choose another hobby. Lifting isn't for you.

Ain't that the truth. Once you start benching over 350 it gets harder to add any worthwhile weight. At least thats what happened to me. I benched 275 at 20, 350 at 21 and it took me a solid 4 years to hit 405 at 25 years old in 1986. After I got to that point at around 230 pounds at 6'2" I lost motivation and just switched to dumbells and concentrated on doing just inclines. I think that was the upper level of my potential anyway and without steroids or eating myself into oblivion I never would have gotten a heavier lift. As I remember I felt great that day. Today at 6'2" 250 or so I don't have nearly the strength I had at 25. I think its a combination of age, using almost all machines, isolation movements and little free weights and a shitty diet.
