Not a mistake, you lied.
Conciseness, a sign of intelligence.
Walter can defend himself...you are either one in the same person, or two separate anonymous posters who agreed to "verify" lies for one another.
As for you saying I lied - oh, that's rich Mr. "I ran a 4.33s 40-yard dash as an 18-year-old woman, the first time I ever tried it."
But no, I didn't lie.
The confusion was:
My max squat ever was 385x2 below parallel [absolutely contest form, UNLIKE my max bench press or deadlift], while weighing 170.
Walter claimed there was no way I did that.
LOL.
Don't get me wrong - 385x2 to proper depth is decent [IMO]. I could MAYBE get 385x2 tomorrow, but probably only to parallel. But I'm 200 now, which is an advantage in and of itself + with bigger/fatter hamstrings, I can "bounce" off my hams. It also slightly decreases the range of motion [having fatter hams - if the judges see your hams lower, it will be more likely to get green lights]. Similar of bench press: having a chest maybe 1-2cm thicker @200 vs. 170, my range of motion on bench is actually shorter.
So body weight is an advantage overall, and an additional POSITIONAL advantage for squat and bench press. Not so much deadlift - the opposite may even be true to an extent. But for bench and dead, body SIZE produces a more advantageous position, in addition to the strength you get weighing more [even if the weight is literally +20-lb of extra fat]. OH - I should point out I may be good for a 385x2 parallel squat now [or at least 380x1 to parallel], but that is WITHOUT knee wraps.
With knee wraps, I am probably marginally stronger now at squats than I was at 170. But I AM 202-203 now, as opposed to almost always being exactly 170 [range = 169-171...sometimes lower into the 160's...seldom higher into the 170's]. So with probably 33 more pounds, I'm only JUST barely stronger than I was at 170.
Age may be a factor, but it's also that I'm not as willing to injury, so I'm holding back about 5% on my lifts. Meaning, I could probably bench press a much more intense 355, and pull at least 525, with risky form.
I'd be willing to bet ANYONE $550 CAD [only $402 USD] for my Subway card
that I can lock out 550-lb on deadlift, with 24 HOURS NOTICE.
I'll send that money to OneMoreRep RIGHT NOW, and by this time tomorrow, I WILL lock out 550-lb.
But I'm purposely holding back, because as sturdy as I am, I feel we are all more prone to injury as we get older.
I have ALWAYS held back - just the STUPIDITY of Walter Sobchak thinking I was doing everything I could to be as strong as possible. LOL. If that was my goal, wouldn't I have just juiced to the GILLS, and stuffed my face, like most fat Strongman competitors do?
Health and other considerations ALWAYS constrained what I do - but if Walter REALLY believes I was ever anywhere CLOSE to maxed out [or on juice often, let alone HEAVY juice], I'm willing to make him a $2,000 bet I will deadlift 600 by June 1st.
That WOULD require juice [not necessarily much, but over a sustained period of time], and of course - require eating more [which I HATE]. I also don't want to lose my hair, and don't want my face getting fatter.
Seems strange to me to achieve a goal that not only harms your heart, but diminishes your looks in the process. Nor do I understand why so many think a better physique is worth permanently losing their hair. A full head of hair is something I find women consistently value. I don't want to lose my hair.
Oh yeah, if I juiced so much, how on earth would I have a PERFECT HAIRLINE at almost 42?
Yet more proof I only ever dabbled - mostly in low-dose orals, and only injected gear in 2004, 2005, and 2006.
I think I got bunk gear in both 2004 AND 2005, then pneumonia cut my ONLY real cycle off after eight weeks in 2008. The not so great gains turned me off from even moderate gear usage.
I only suspected very recently, I probably just had bunk gear [bunk Sustanon in 2004 + real Dianabol, then bunk Dianabol in 2005 + real Test Enanthate - then ALL REAL Test Enanthate [500mg], Equipoise [200/250mg], and Dianabol in 2006, but cut the cycle short due to getting pneumonia. That 2006 back double biceps picture was from that cycle.
My best LOOK has always been from GEAR. Every time.
But my max strength/lifts have ALL been not only when I was clean [clean for YEARS], but literally weighing 170-lb. A few exceptions exist, like maybe max hammer curls, or some other obscure lifts. My max big 3-lifts were ALL clean AND at 170 [exception: my 345 bench was at 182.5, but I got 340 @170 in that June 2014 video I recently unearthed.
What proof do I have that those lifts were while clean? LOOK AT THE VIDEOS. I'm CLEARLY not at my biggest/juiced size in any of my max lift videos, compared to pictures of when I was on cycle.
When it's CLEAR from the pictures that I'm 190 and leaner on juice, why would Walter assume I'm juiced in videos where I weigh 157-170, when I'm not even lean/full [tells of using gear = looking fuller]?
But back to my point:
I did not LIE about Walter's 385x12 front squat claim - I was MISTAKEN, because I conflated my saying that *I* squatted 385x2 and him not believing me, and HIS claim of a 315 front squat for reps.
The memories got merged, and I remembered it as him claiming a 385 front squat for reps.
I was MISTAKEN, and I CORRECTED myself.
I did not lie.
In any case, I have corrected my mistake.
A 315 front squat for reps claim is believable, but I have no reason to really trust Walter Sobchak on anything. But he could be telling the truth there.
I'll post my 2006 juiced picture shortly.
Also from 2006:
