No, that's the other Dubai, the one that's in India too.
There's billions of people and towns so they have to use the same name twice.

Many years ago, I trained with a guy who benched a little over 600 raw. Just watching him lift that much weight was insane. He would close grip bench 455 for reps, it was so easy for him.

Ryan is a complete retard. He is a nice guy but a few screws loose.

I met him back in 2004 I think.

One of his bench DVD's is in the garage somewhere. It was right when he was big into shirted benching.

Ryan said he had raw steroid powders and just scooped them into his mouth without weighing them out. A bit reckless.

Shit, 20-25 years ago when I was in college and messing with steroids you could order 1,000 BD 5mg dbol for like $180. Depending on what he ordered, not a very big deal.

Yeah as I recall I paid 150 locally for those 1000 ct bottles. I don't know how many bottles I went through but it was quite a few. Later also Danabol 500 ct bottles. Seems like no one makes 5mg tabs anymore, it's always 10mg now. Takes less space I guess. As a kid I remember watching TV and the cops said you could get 100 tabs of Russian Dianabol for 1 dollar on the black market here in Sweden! :D

Kennelly was the guy that almost fought Mark Anthony when he was being a dick during one of the Arnold Classics.

I saw Glen Chabot do a triple with 650 at my old gym in Springfield Mass.

He did 722 at the Arnold Classic in 2002 IIRC......he was 315 with abs !!

I didn't see it but my friend spotted an early 20s guy doing 280kg/617lbs a while back. Who here would spot that kind of weight if asked? Not me! At a minimum it would have to on a bench with those safety rails or in a power rack with the safeties at a minimum plus I would demand side spotters too :D

Eddie Hall couldnt lift 600lbs from that angle

That's exactly it, or worse he gets it on the neck or face. Even if there were 3 spotters there's not enough time to save the guy, it happens too fast.

It's idiotic not to use this type of bench or a power rack.
