The Most Brutal Workouts in History

[Petrucci]

for what i understand the weights that are showing are not the weight he uses on ALL sets of that exercise...But his maximum weight...
while still incredible, some of these numbers are in his videos for anyone to see him lift them

What happened this weekend? Is it the 1st Annual Ronnie Coleman Dickride Festival?

NO! IT'S THE BROADSTREETBACKSHOT FUCK FESTIVAL!

[Iago]

well as it shows in the pictures, he uses 100lb plates at the bottom of the stack  The handle for the T-bar broke because the weight he used was too heavy for it, but that was like on the 6th rep or something

I don't remember any 100 pound plates in there and even if there were using the magic of math the total weight could not have been 585 if he had used a mixture of 100's and 45's, moron.  You can look at the thread with the recent pictures of Ronnie doing t-bar rows.  Not a single 100 pound plate on the bar.

My naive friend! In Ronnie Coleman the incredible video Ron loads 12 plates unto the bar. Now 13 x 45 = 585! How did I get 13 you ask? Go check how much the bar weights and go back to school kid!

just great, I'm a little suspicious about all these claims, I have to see it on his video

Sunday : Rest

Notes : The poundages listed represent those that Coleman often uses for heavier sets. At times he goes even higher , but these poundages are " typical " for him and no one else.

Coleman has used the same schedule and workouts through his career , except that , in order to utilize all of his favorite exercises, consecutive muscle-group worj=kouts are not indentical. These are his standard exercises , but one unlisted movement may be substituted per workout.

Amazing to say the least , apparently overtrianing doesn't apply to Ronnie and the thing I noticed was he did no standing calves rasies and the weights for his calf exercises seem " light " for a man of his strenght .

IF YOU CAN PERFORM THIS WORKOUT, YOU, YES YOU! CAN LOOK LIKE THIS!!!!!:

ok arsehole, fair enough. I didnt realise he only did 1 solitary photoshoot using T-Bars, my sincerest apologies for thinking i saw something i didnt. Seriously though ill fucking scan them and upload them for you since you dont have a clue. First plate is a 100, and there are 10 or 11 * 45's on the bar

[the shadow]

you can't fit 13 or even 12 45's on an olympic bar so how exactly would he do t-bars with 585?  i seem to recall the heaviest he ever want on t-bars was 11 45's which is 495 and the most 45's you can fit on an olympic bar.  the man is incredibly strong so why exaggerate?

epic bullshit

dude..coleman did 675lb t-bar rows in a flex magazine...that was 100% real

[thor_odin]

Never believe what pros say they can lift. They are not strong men or power lifters. I witnessed a very fat Lance Dreyer working out years ago and his poundages were lighter than mine.
