David Henry's comments in new MD!

[bigmikecox]

Henry is not a powerlifter, so who give a fuck what weight he uses.  There is not a "how much do you deadlift pose".  All that matters is that he comes into a show in good condition.  Yes, pros use anabolics.  But you still have to train hard and eat good.  You can't take drugs and not train hard.

i agree with you Mike, problem is that Dave is the one who made the claims so obviously he thinks it matters.

I always subtract about 15-20lbs when a pro says what his bests lifts are.  Unless you see them do it, don't get caught up in what they lift.  Also, subtract 10 lbs from their contest weight.  Do you really think Dex is 230lbs??  C'mon.  Ronnie and J. Jackson are the two guys that are as strong as they look.

i'd say subtract a loy more than 15-20 from their lifts and to me the only place Johnnie looks strong is in his upper body, the man's legs are toothpicks.

It's okay guys I understand...it happens to the best of us. Let's just put an end to this thread...when one uses the MuscleTech stack...anything is possible. Dave may have been being modest...I wouldnt doubt it if he uses 160's but didnt want to seem to cocky. Muscletech supplements are the magic bullet. It is the end all and be all of all success in the strength/BB game.

Henry is with Muscletech? I thought he used Sprayflex.
Check it out, he is on here:

“After I took second at the 2002 USA Championships, I decided to compete only 3 months later at the National Championships. Being on active duty in the military, I wanted every competitive advantage I could get…I was looking for something that would allow me to take my physique into the winner’s circle. I started using the SprayFlex Extreme Anabolic Stack right away and the results were amazing. My strength levels were incredible and I came into the Nationals bigger, harder and incredibly shredded. Everyone said I was the most conditioned, ripped competitor in the whole show as I cruised to victory, and pro status, winning the middleweight class. You’ll get crazy results with this stuff and I’m excited to bring it with me to the pros. Thanks, SprayFlex!”

he left out the part about Spray Flex helping him cure cancer, stop bullets and leap tall buildings in a single bound.

[ManBearPig...]

that's some awesome natural gyno he's got there.

[bigmikecox]

Scientifically erroneous.  You CAN take drugs and not train hard.

What you can't do is take drugs and not EAT lots.  Steroids do not create protein, just greatly increase protein synthesis with or without hard training.

Fuck your scientific BS.  Take 1500mgs of test a week and use light weight and see how big you get.

[sarcasm]

f**k your scientific BS.  Take 1500mgs of test a week and use light weight and see how big you get.

you'll get a lot bigger than someone who takes nothing and trains the same way, that's the point he's making Mike.

I agree. It's more like a 20 percent or more exaggeration on the lifts and a good 10% bodyweight exaggeration. I remember reading Muscle and Fitness in junior high (about a quarter century ago), when M&F wrote about light heavyweight Mr America Tim Belknap supposedly competing at about 220, and supposedly squatting 655 for 20 and benching 485 for ten...

 I was later told by someone who trained in the same gym with him back then that 100 pounds was added to the bench and a good 150 was added to the squat for that article. His actual competitive bodyweight and actual lifts were very impressive in and of themselves, but the ridiculous exaggerations really strain credibility, to say the least.

I've noticed this trend to be a rule rather than an exception over the years unfortunately.

 Those are insane numbers. I hope no one took them to heart

[gordiano]

HAHAHA!


This is just as funny now, as it was 6 mos ago..................

[phyxsius]

in his article in the new MD a guy writes a letter to him saying "i'm tremendously strong, i incline the 170's for 4, squat 750, deadlift 715 and close grip 415 for 4" and Dave says "those are good numbers, when i posted that i did one arm triceps extensions with a 130lb. dumbell some internet nerds said i was lying and i said i'll tell you what, i'll let you come to my gym and i'll give you 130 dollars for every rep you complete, needless to say i didn't have any takers" what do you think?

With 4 spotters on each side?

Looks like someone got the Kamalism

[SteelePegasus]

Squat 750?

LMFAO.

If he claims a raw squat with 750 lbs, with belt only, I think he's seriously bullshitting or somehow misinterpreted what a squat is.

Quarter squats doesn't count.

The squat Ronnie Coleman did in Cost of redemption - no lift.

YIP
Zack

he could do it....1/4 squat on the smith machine..with the safety guards on...and 2 4 spotters

[The Squadfather]

Bumping a getbig classic.

hahahahahaha.

[HUGEPECS]

  All you people gotta back up the truck and think about this for a minute...don't you all here realize that David Henry is on the MuscleTech Stack?

 The little guy uses Anatorp70, CellTech, NitroTech, Gacik, Leucik and Ceakic...it's obvious you people never used the MuscleTech Stack. MuscleTech is proven to bring a one arm dumbbell tricep extension increase in strength up to 1879%.

 Dr. Marvin Huer says so...he isnt just an actor in a labcoat with a clip board and text book open on the prop-counter top...he's a credible super-scientist who has been doing research for over 10 years at many universities across the country.

 I'm willing to bet Dave Henry was able to do no more than 45's maybe 60's on that exercise...now that he is using the MuscleTech stack...rumor has it he is already slinging the 150's.

Ah,,,, the power of muscletech products. these muscletech guys are Marketing geniuses. they're able to feed  us and even try to convinced us that muscletech is the ultimate in sports supplements. Well, I guess they have the money to lure every Bodybuilder in the pro circuit to show up at the studio all pumped up and tell us HOW MUCH THEY LOVE MUSCLETECH.....hahahaha

[beatmaster]

big lies, i'll bet he can't do 50 or less.......... unless he's taking muscletech

[dizzleman06]

King can get 675 easily. LMAO.  I think im gonna go for 500 tomorrow with my twelve spotters

this...is not 675, it is 645 because that type of smith machine the bar is counter-balanced to 15lbs.  so it is 645 and if he were to try that weight on a free squat he would be severly injured due to the fact that he can't lift it without several people helping...

[mesmorph78]
