There is a lot to address here.
First off - wes: thank you for the support!
I feel like I am extremely realistic about my lifts. I would be confident in putting this to the test, to see what's what.
If you peruse my Instagram posts, it's very clear where I'm at and why - I've been on a hypertrophy program all summer, so of course I'm not at my strongest. I started training for strength again on September 1st, and benched 295-lb right off the bat, which B. Hank takes to mean that's where I'm at, as if I won't be back to 315x8 again, like clockwork, just from muscle memory.
For this reason, I'd like to put this to a test with a 01-01-2024 deadline. I'm confident I can best B. Hank's lifts while giving him a 30-lb body weight advantage.
Obviously, there is no way to test for anabolics, but...I would be willing to prove I weigh in at 190, and allow B. Hank to weigh in at 220. I'm confident in my lifts at 170 - and especially at 190.
To address some B. Hank's negative comments about my lifts.
I have also pressed 350lbs for 2 reps something Matt has never come close to doing.
For some reason, you need to frame everything like a competition, and it's not good enough for you to merely acknowledge that you pressed slightly more than I did [while weighing 220+, a full 50-lb heavier than me when I pressed 340], you need to describe it like it wasn't even close [when it was extremely close].
Here's 320x6 while weighing 170 - I forgot that the bar there weighed 50-lb, making this 320-lb:

https://www.instagram.com/tv/CeldRFRAoOS/This one is more recent - I benched 250x6, with around a 0.6s pause between reps, up to 0.8s of a full second for some reps:
https://www.instagram.com/reel/CxuEwWut2AE/Here's my 225x25 bench press, while nearly a decade since my most recent injectable gear cycle [2006], with 30 days of 15-20mg daily Dianabol for a month in 2008 in there, still YEARS before hitting this:
In what world is a person who does 320x6 has that person "never come close to doing" 350x2?

My PR/max bench presses of 340 @170 and 345 @183 are both very close to your PR/max bench press of 350 for 2, and you were likely 220 or 230 when you pressed it.
Matt also uses anabolic he is not a natural athlete.
The number of cycles I have done over the past 19 years since my first one, I can count on my hands. And most have been wussy oral-only cycles.
Whilst I can say that when I LOOKED my best, I WAS using steroid, that is not the case with my max lifts. In all cases, I was not only clean, but off for YEARS.
A 2006 cycle can't be given credit for PR's achieved years later.
But honestly I don't care what he lifts because none of that changes the fact he doesn't know how to hold a fucking dumbbell. That is why its rolling his wrist backwards and sliding out of his hand at a 45 degree angle fucking morons. He could probably lift more if he learned how to hold a dumbbell. He would also get a lot more development if he stopped ego throwing shit around. Who the fuck talks about maxing out machines and record leg presses and half rep shoulder presses?
Both give an idea of a person's strength level. I have an issue with knee valgus, and I want to comfortably leg press 1,000-lb before going back to squats.
Anyone can diminish any lift if you want. Someone can say the same thing about your max strict curl - that is a very unorthodox strength lift. But it still shows what your biceps strength is, so it's fine. Why don't you focus on max deadlift strength, or another more traditional strength test?
I'm sure you have your reasons.
My reasons are:
Bodybuilding is extremely fake. And I don't want to hit certain strength targets, only to not be that strong all the time.
My strength goals are LIFETIME goals intended to be MAINTAINED. I know I'll get back to a 500+ deadlift, so my goal is to get that as close to 550 as possible, then to MAINTAIN that. I don't want to get to 510-530-550 [where ever I land], only to drop back to 450-lb, and wax and wane.
Since my goals are LIFETIME goals [both as strong as I want to get AND numbers I want to maintain for as long as I possibly can], I am in no rush to get there.
That also explains my unorthodox style.
As long as I'm moving closer to my goals each workouts what's the problem?
You critique the unorthodox way I do things, while you have an unorthodox strength record on here for the strict curl. Who cares if it's a weird lift, if you have the board record [assuming you do]?
Also, for the tenth time - my dumbbell presses are NOT half reps - they are marginally imperfect reps with good weight, and still more than you overhead press, so I don't know why you're judging my form.
There is NOTHING wrong with this depth - but of course you you go lower than I do...you are pressing 50-lb dumbbells. This form is fine, and it's using actual decent weight:

Ronnie Coleman maxed out his gyms leg press after he did his 800x2 squat in a suit. It was a good test of his leg strength.
Every time he writes about lifting he is dropping 50lbs in bodyweight then adding 50lbs to his lift and then saying that would be good lift at that weight right but he doesn't weigh that and doesn't lift that not even close.
I'm ~200, and could probably pull an ugly ~500 literally in my next back workout, and in two weeks, I could be ~190 pulling a cleaner ~500 again, then bringing that DL up, and bringing my body weight closer to 185.
You continually project your own goals and techniques on people. My goal is to get as
close as I possibly can to a bench/squat/deadlift of 350/450/550 [with gym form, knee wraps, a belt, and straps/chalk], and improve my body composition and get down to 185 body weight, or whatever is a healthy weight for me with a good look that I can
maintain for years, if not decades.I am achieving this firstly by getting my lifts to those numbers...and THEN reevaluating and deciding what would be a healthy weight for me.
And it NEEDS to be a HEALTHY weight, and a look that I like...that I can MAINTAIN.
I'm in this for life. My goal isn't to just keep gaining more weight like you seem to be doing [as if being 238-lb is healthier than being 188-lb], and you are projecting your goals on me.
My goal is to get my strength and look at a level I can maintain, and to keep that look until I'm 45-50-55...as long I can do so, with my TOP priority/constraint being HEALTH.
What's wrong with that?
I have no reason to believe being 200+ is "healthier" than being 185.
It's not just about how much weight and muscle I can put on. You project your bodybuilding goals on others, from what I can tell.
