bullshit.

For what a picture is worth I have seen him handling over 400 lbs raw. As to whether or not he could have done it I never saw it but it certainly is possible.

400 is a LONG way from 500.

440 for 10 is not that much. How many of those fatfucks at the combine do you think could do that? I'd say about 20% of them.

Excellent research, but just because he wrote it don't make it so. One thing I've learned is most of these guys are notorius bullshitters.

heh!

Here are some of his other claims:

born: 6/10/38

height: 5'9"
offseason weight: 220
precontest weight: 211

arms: 21.7"
chest: 57"
shoulders: 60"
waist: 27.5"
thighs: 27"
calves: 19"

His arms I would say are no bigger than 18 and chest 52 maybe! After all he was pretty narrow and got dwarfed by Arnold and Sergio.

At the NFL combine? they were struggling to get 25-30 reps with 225. Maybe a select few. The rest would get buried.

the reality is that there are only a handful of men in the world who can bench 440 for 10 unequipped and NO ONE at the NFL combine could do it that's for damn sure.

even if he really did 500, he couldn't do 440 pounds x 10

and he didn't do 500

I knew Surge personally and trained with him quite often in the early 90's. Although he preferred to train light, he was TREMENDOUSLY strong!

I would challange his claims frequently. One day he took me up on my challenge and TOOK ME TO SCHOOL!!!!

From that day on, I never doubted any of Surges strength claims. He is the real deal.

It is obviously not my place to discuss wether he is natural or not. You'll have to ask him.

On that particular day, I was doing lat pulldowns (admittedly, not one of my stronger lifts) with heavy weight and sloppy form. Surge came up and started swearing at me with his french accent, something like "You are not uh bodybuilda, such sloppy form, yada, yada, yada"

I told him He trained like a girl with light weight and basically couldn't wipe my butt.
He then said that I should do another set with as much weight as possible for as many reps as I could and he would do twice as many with the proper form.

I laughed out loud and stacked the weight and started swinging. I can't remember how many I got, eight or so.
Then he proceeded with PERFECT form to methodically do 16 reps SLOWLY without swinging. Shut me up real quick. He was 54 years old at the time, I was 19.

that's not hard to do with 100lbs. on the stack.

The strongest bencher I saw is this black dude who supplies the region in steroids.

the guy is fucking huge, 5"10 260 really lean.

I spotted him ( I didn't touch the bar ) while he was doing 4 plate and a half on each side for 4 reps with a 3-0-1 tempo !

not that guy is on gh, IGF-1, lot of test and god know what else.

anyway he is WAY bigger than Serge and had a fucking hard time doing those number.

IMO, Serge is full of shit

He was AWESOME! I used to make him show his abs to everybody that came into the gym.

That year Arnold actually asked him to guest pose at the Arnold Classic. Something happened with the Weider's and the IFBB and they prevented that from happening. They don't get along with Surge.

I didn't take his advise because I thought he was insane!

I trained chest with him one day and we did like forty + sets.
