Guy Cisternino - "I got this motherfuckers."

[SF1900]

Guy is pretty intense when he works out. Reminds me of the Dorian Yates video, "Blood and Guts."

"Sometimes to get back to where you were you have to go back to your roots. No made up exercises or science based bullshit. It’s simple, you pick a fucking weight, you press it as many times as you can with good form, at least that’s what I’ve always done, and that’s what I’ll continue to do!"

Strong dude,never cared much for him though.Also why not just put dumbbells down?A month or so ago I was doing incline dumbbell presses with 150-170s and I pick them up myself press them myself then put them on my knees at end of set and stand up and put them down.I never understood throwing dumbbells.Its rude and stupid behavior imo.

I don't recall Dorian screaming and shouting?

Your level of humble brag is almost on par with mine. What you SF?

I was referring to the intensity.

I routinely use the 160-lb dumbbells for sets for 8 on the flat, and quietly place them back on the rack.

One day I put them back and clipped my finger between the rack and the dumbbell, like Gunter did in his portion of the Battle for the Olympia 2006 video. That's also funny because Gunter and I sport similar size. Although I'm 5" shorter.

I know your being a wise ass but I make no noise when I use big dumbbells.You wouldn’t even know I’m in the gym whether shoulder pressing 120s or hammer curling 100s no noise.I don’t slam weights,drop them or toss them.

Wait. You press the 170's?

My max on the flat is the 140's for 8.

I too, use gym etiquette.

You just said you did the 160’s for sets of 8??

I was training with dumbbells for a few months and was weighing around 250 and got up to 170s for a few good reps,believe it or not I’m stronger on incline than flat on dumbbell presses.Flat dumbbell pressing is awkward for me.They might have been 175s we have dumbbells going up to 120s and we gorilla tape and duct tape 7.5s,10s,12.5s And 5s on them to make them bigger they are covered in tape so can’t remember if 170 or 175s.Either way I’ve been lifingb for 27ish years and I train hard so I get really strong on certain things.Im good on incline dumbbells,shoulder press,barbell curl,hammer curls,dumbbells rows,dips and flat barbell bench when shoulders aren’t hurting so I have strong cycles and I run hard for a few months then step back.Im nothing special just when I focus on a movement I get good at it.

I can prob do the same as you on flat dB press and if I remember correctly you are much lighter.

[Matt]

I can prob do the same as you on flat.

You incline more than you flat? Is that due to injury, or...? Just wondering why that would be. Great lifts nonetheless.

[robcguns]

Yeah on dumbbell presses I’ve always been noticeably stronger on incline,it’s just a more natural movement with dumbbells for me and I get a good groove where as flat dB is awkward and I can’t find a comfortable groove so I do get some shoulder clicking and pain.

Thank you.Your 140s for 8 are crazy at your weight so I’d say your stronger than me.

[Matt]

I was just sprucing up my numbers for effect.

That said...my max bench press was 315 for 8 - full reps, but bounced.

I suspect I could have hit the 160 dumbbells on the flat for 2-4...may have required a boost/lift-off. Not sure if that translates.

Only one gym in my city goes over 140's. In fact, unless something has changed, only two gyms go to 140's. One maxes out at the 140's, and one goes over the 140's. The heaviest gym in my city is owned by Thunder Bay's Strongest Man himself, Kyle Rayner.

Matt have you considered moving to a city that would offer heavier dumbbells?

Yeah-he invented the T-bar/partial squat move. Brilliant!
