I can curl more than Jesus

at approx 220lbs the b/w becomes negligible. where a few people can squat 3x at 200lbs, its almost impossible at 500. hence wilks etc.

anyway at 220ish i can do

190% dip below parallel
150% chin
150% bench press

goudy sounds like you have me on the dips and I've got you on the chins. I've always been better at pulling than pressing (i've got a narrow chest compared to my limb length)

Can you match me on the HSPUs?

Ursus · « **Reply #28 on:** May 07, 2006, 02:33:52 PM »

HSPU's what are they. i gonna start chinning properly again heavy too

hand stand push ups

they are great. I have gotten a lot stronger on them. now I can do them with ~125% bw or I can do them on books for extra depth for reps. For some reason I'm making much better progress then when I was just working on military press, also it's nice to be able to work out at home.

Do you put your feet on the wall or do it without any support?

Ursus · « **Reply #33 on:** May 07, 2006, 02:42:57 PM »

i know a fella who can do them unsupported. he can do 22 full ones in a minute WR is 33. He done it just for fun one day, doesnt take them seriously at all. he used to do them on benches so that he wa soff the ground and able to get a better ROM

on a wall although I have been meaning to learn to do them unsupported. Basically I just need to learn how to do a static hand stand and the push up shouldn't be that hard from there.

Goudy if your friend does 22 unsupported in a minute that's awesome. Is he a gymnast?

I don't really try to rep out with them anymore but I doubt I could do more than 20 supported against a wall

Ursus · « **Reply #35 on:** May 07, 2006, 02:52:16 PM »

he is a world class powerlifter. a real enigma and a very good friend. he look s more like amodel at 6foot and 150lbs but the strength he has is unreal. a 240kg deadlift no hitching straight up

lol he doesnt have time too lol. owns a pt business, goes to uni and has a gf. not a lotta spare time

The Luke · « **Reply #38 on:** May 08, 2006, 03:48:28 AM »

I reckon I could manage a passable 3x bodyweight deadlift. (600 ish lbs)

IF.... if I used straps, doing sumo-style deadlifts with my feet as far apart as the plates will allow.

I'm a midget (5'5'') so my range of motion would be reduced to about 4 inches in this situation... does that count??

The lift would count, but no straps!

...without the straps I'd have to revise my estimate to about 1x bodyweight.

If you tried to get into that stance you'd be pretty close to a full split at 5'5"

you might tear your groin worse than dorian did his bicep.

Sounds like a challenge!

Gains

just did hand stand push-ups plus 40lbs (weighted vest) for 2 reps

I'm about to see what I can do with 54lbs added.

stay tuned for reports from my living room HSPU station

shiftedShapes · « **Reply #45 on:** May 14, 2006, 09:05:51 AM »

and....

I know you have all been on the edge of your seats waiting for my follow up report....

wait for it.....

I missed, probably tired from two sets with the 40lbs added. Maybe next time.

a 410lb dip, 320ish chin, 330lb bench did them roughly in head
