RORY's STRENGTH FEATS!

[sarcasm]

i dont see how you can say hes stronger than ronnie with those numbers. Ronnie has a max squat and dead of about 850-875 and a max bench of 600+.

Ronnie can't and never has been able to bench 600, those are words coming straight from his mouth.

[The Freakshow]

605 lbs bench for 2
780 lbs deadlift
800 lbs squat
120 lbs side laterals

495lbs bench presses supersetted with bent rows(same weight) for 4-5 reps

That would pretty much embarrass any bodybuilder past or present.

Back in the late 80's Rory used to train with up an coming football GIANT Tony Mandarich who was 6'5" 320lbs (back then that was unheard of).

He used to come into the gym where I trained in Whittier, CA. From what I remember they were both crazy strong. I can't recall exact weights, but those claims don't seem out of line for those guys.

Ronnie says he WARMS-UP on chest with four sets of 500lbs for 12 reps on the bench press. So I think he can do much more than 600lbs. Unless he's never tried it.

of course he does, that's why he struggled his ass off with 495 for 5 on Cost of Redemption, he told me and a friend of mine who is a big bencher at a guest posing that the most he ever benched in his life for a single was 550.

Well I've never asked him personally. Because to be honest with you, I don't care how much he benches.

However, I did read an article that claimed those numbers. I also watched the Battle for the Olympia where he pressed the 200lb dumbbells for 12 reps without a problem. So i HIGHLY doubt he "struggles' with 495! IMO

[davidpaul]

Ronnie's max bench is probs 575 max - with no equipment.

[Mr. Intenseone]

It's bodybuilding, who cares who is stronger than who!

[Hedgehog]

i might believe the 505 rows with sloppy form but not the 605 bench, 780 daedlift or 800 squat, not in a million years.

A fcuking 605 lbs bench. For a double.

Some people are too much...

watch Cost of Redemption dumbass, he does 4 non lockout reps with 495 and has to have Brian Dobson pull on the bar to get number 5 and he was OFF SEASON and 310lbs. or so he claimed, that's very, very far from "over 600", the article you're talking about is that bullshit one in Flex after he won the 03 Olympia where they claimed that he barbell rowed 585 for 12, benhed 500 for sets of 12 and squatted 800 for 12

"Dumbass" huh? How much do you bench fatboy??

[sarcasm]

we're not talking about me, do you have an answer for the info i gave you in that last post?

Oh brother.

Where to start with you?

But it's not really your fault.

It's the fcukers over at FLEX, I don't really understand why Shawn Perine is letting this shit continue. It's not doing anything but taking away from the strength feats of bodybuilders, bodybuilders and strongmen.

I talk about real feats.

And the question is?

[sarcasm]

And the question is?

what do you think about the FACTS i gave you about Ronnie's REAL lifting capabilities?

[Hedgehog]

And the question is?

How do you think those numbers in Cost of Redemption holds up to the numbers in the juiced up FLEX article?

Which do you believe more in? The article in FLEX or what you see footage of?

I trained with Rory for a long time and we never deadlifted, I've seen him go as high as 550 on bench for a double, the bent rows are legit, never seem him do an 800lb squat, 120 on side laterals are legit. Other than that.....who cares it was 20 year ago!

[The Freakshow]

I don't know what to tell you. I haven't seen the video.

Regardless, as I stated in my previous post, "I also watched the Battle for the Olympia where he pressed the 200lb dumbbells for 12 reps without a problem. So i HIGHLY doubt he "struggles' with 495! IMO"

bullshit, i'd have to load the weight myself to believe the 550 for 2 bench and i'd have to see the 120lb. "laterals".

[IceCold]

Back in the late 80's Rory used to train with up an coming football GIANT Tony Mandarich who was 6'5" 320lbs (back then that was unheard of).

the same tony mandarich that was drafted by the packers and is considered the biggest draft bust in the history of the NFL.

What city do you live in??? We might be neighbors.

That's him.

But his football performances are irrelevant to his strength.

I live in Sunset Beach but grew up in Arcadia and trained at Astro, Muscle Digest, uptown Gym and Olympus.

Swing Laterals.

Not Side laterals.

Trust me, I DONT believe 99.9% of what I read. The media is full of crap!!!

However, like I said, I did see BFO where he did 200lb DB's for 12 with no problem.

[Bast000]

120lbs "swing" laterals don't count.
