Author Topic: Ron Harris strength claims!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Read 43256 times)

On the "Daily Pump" section of his website, Ron Harris claims to have recently incline benched 315 for 6 reps. He also claims to have done bent-over rows with 365 for 8 reps. Does anyone actually believe this twat can lift even half of what he claims? He admits that he can't deadlift 500, but he's doing bent over rows with 365 for reps?

BULLSHIT

Considering he is around 230Ibs I think 315 for 6 on the incline bench is decent and believable for his size.

Obviously I can't do it, but I find 315 for 6 to be perfectly believable

Both sound believable.

Who is Ron Harris?

brett43 · « **Reply #5 on:** April 05, 2006, 04:55:17 AM »

This is his website www.ronharrismuscle.com

He has a great blog that he writes everyday called the daily pump. If you sign up you can receive updates via email each day. He has been lifting for twenty years and is a very lean 230 so it is definetely beleivable. He is not the kind of guy that would make shit up.

Unwitting architect of one of the better titus meltdowns on getbig

Stop being a hater and put your energy in training.

The gymowner of the place I train, only weights about 187 and presses 308 flat. Back in the days when he competed he pressed 374 incline at a weight of 195. Yet he's quite short, 1,6 m, short fellas tend to press more without any logical explanation.

Ron is a good dude (Boston boy!)
seen/met him over the years at various New England BB shows
very down to earth
his lifts = believable

BULLSHIT

Have you ever lifted weights? What is so unbelieveable. Ir this was a pro BB people would say he is lifting nothing special but it's unbelieveable for a 200lb plus lifter with 20 years behind him. I can incline 225 for a couple of reps and plenty of 'normal' guys in my gym row 225. I think you were either being sarcastic or do not work out consistently or heavily.
peace, the Doc

Harris seems to be a decent guy + a good example of what someone w/ average genetics but lots of perseverance can achieve as a bb.

Key telltale sign of avg genetics but strong will is great quads but so-so upper body --- which is exactly what Harris has.

Well this thread sure backfired!

Ron Harris has arm implants.

Therefore, he is hardcore.

I knew Ron when he used to train at the old Astro Gym in San Gabriel and the Golds Gym in Pasadena.....he was a cocky little so and so!!

315 for 6......"brute chest strength"

Pazuzu · « **Reply #17 on:** April 05, 2006, 08:15:20 AM »

Seriously, is that supposed to be an outrageous strength claim?

If he said 405 or something, I would have to call bullshit, but 315 is not a big deal for a 230-pound guy.

sarcasm · « **Reply #18 on:** April 05, 2006, 08:16:42 AM »

he has also claimed to squat 700 and hack squat 9 plates per side.

LuciusFox · « **Reply #19 on:** April 05, 2006, 08:17:08 AM »

Ron seems pretty honest, not the kind of guy to make up stories.

it's the new "hip" thing to do here at getbig...everytime anyone says they did anything you have to claim that lift is bullshit and everytime someone has a halfway decent bodypart you have to claim synthol even if it's a pic from like 1985 or something...

an123 · « **Reply #22 on:** April 05, 2006, 09:08:49 AM »

Isn't he the guy who had those horrible arm implants? Strength claim doesn't seem unresonable though.

Pazuzu · « **Reply #23 on:** April 05, 2006, 09:27:35 AM »

Arm implants? Harris? Must be a different guy - Ron Harris the writer has huge legs but his arms are pretty weak. If he has implants, he should have got bigger ones.

Because too many people here don't even work out and have no idea what's reasonable and what's not.
