I can curl a barbell without hardly closing my fists at all, just chuck it up with a loose grip
He needed strapos for a deadlift of just barely over 400lbs. I've started (albeit limited) training after a few years off due to massive injuries (that Brian is not at risk from, they happened at work you see). Naturally there's things I just can';t do right now (pending my next consult with surgeons to see what can be doine about totally severed supraspinatus on both sides) so I can;t in gooid conscience do standing curls but can do concentration or preacher. deadlifts potentially but with overhand grip only at this stage. Anyhoo for shits and giggles I put 405 on the bar (tried 400 previously) and whilst it wasn't graceful like a swan I managed it. so I can already out deadlift him. I suspect the same is true for the bench even with the various tears to the rotator cuff set in general *(aforementioned complete tears being the worst but a number of partial tears throughout). Anything competition worthy as far as overhead pressing is likely out for life, but I'll get some modicum of performance back.
I could go on past performance levels all of which destroy brian, but he ssys they don't count s sadly neither does his disqualfied NOT A RECORD curl performance, so I offered a new fair one. Time will tell.
What really gets me is his bullshit attitude.I reckon Wes is a good bloke, hes open book. Never claimed to be bnigger ronnie or stronger than Ed Coan, But he has numbers on the board tells it like it is and so on, and has toppled more than a few bigger blokes through hgard work and conditioning. In my wildest dreams I couldn't beat him in a physique comp. But that arrogant knobjockey talks shit about him as if he's better. He even iirc tried to claim he was on par with BigRo for fucks sake. It's not just the delusion it's the condescending nonsense.
Knocks someone for smoking then turns out to smoke himself *(we know ya do Brian). Knocks someone for their failure (in his eyes) to plan for their future financially when he himself is living off daddy's inheritence. It's why I keep pooking the (*teddy) bear. I want him to stick around till he loses it all. He's more than half way through his inheritence, he's lost his wife (we know it bri bri) and he's just a fgew steps away froj serious multiple organ failure from decades of his drugs over training and nutrition approach to a sport he just DOES NOT have the genetic predisposition to do well in.
