RORY's STRENGTH FEATS!

[alexxx]

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!

Don't you strugle with 3 plate machine tbar rows? How much where you benching at the time 225? lol! Seriously let me know.

Come on Alexxx, why would he tell you? So you can laugh at him some more.

You have to wait until he tells you everything BEFORE you start laughing at him

This coming from a choad yodler who can't count and is too much of a pussy to show him (or her) self. I'm sorry, did you say 5'11 230lb and 17" arms, you're HUGE for a typical high school basketball player.........Aaahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahaha hahaha!!!!!!!!!!

The world record bench press in the 242 class is around 605. That means he could bench a world record weight for two reps. Totally impossible.

Just do the math. If those lifts were accurate, Rory would have at least a 2200 lb powerlifting total. I don't think even Ed Coan could do that.

But Rory didn't weigh 242 in the offseason, he was up around 280 and at one point hit the 300lb mark, but I still never seen him do a 605 bench!

Oh brother, 120's on side laterals.  Where do people come up with this crap?

[Mr. Intenseone]

They were partials and I was there!

[The Freakshow]

I could maybe see Big Ron do 585 on his absolute best day ever, but he does have long arms, so 550 is more realistic.

The 'Natural" Michael O"Hearn does 505 for two reps! http://www.mikeohearn.com/updates/updates.html

[The Freakshow]

Natural?

Impressive for his height.

I believe he's natural. I just posted a response to that question in another thread. http://www.getbig.com/boards/index.php?topic=46591.150

[Bast000]

highly doubt he's natural, maybe off drugs now.

[Max_Rep]

Oh brother, 120's on side laterals.  Where do people come up with this crap?

Maybe because we've actually seen him train?

[Petrucci]

On one of the war of the worlds videos with Bob, there are Johnny Jackson doing side laterals with 95 or 100 lbs...The guy is known for his great strenght and he do it bouncing the weights (well, i doubt anyone ever did this with perfect form...so its a super lift anyway...). So while not impossible, its difficult to imagine someone doing 120...
 But on the Ronnie´s bench press thing, i cant believe he can do(or did someday) 600 on bench press...He struggles with 500 i think on CoR and if you watch M3 with Levrone, he do the same weight with a lot more easy and better form (and if im not mistake, he do 500 on INCLINES to...thats a ph*cking lot of weight)
 Ronnie is king, but Levrone is better on pressing movements...(witch is obvious with his gigantic shoulders and triceps)

Rory is stronger than Ronnie Coleman!

He sure is built better than Ronnie. Rory didn't sport a 40"+ waistline.

Rory was more overrated than Draper, he was a Jeff King wanna be with the brain of Corky....

[bmacsys]

Rory used to train with Tony Mandarich who was a helluva strong SOB and they lifted some monster poundages back in the day.  Those poundages for Rory are totally believable because he was every bit as strong as he looked, as opposed to many of the walking chemistry experiments of today.

Tony Mandarich. How exactly was he strong? When he played for the Packers he got manhandled every week by the opposing defensive lineman. He sucked, he was a total fraud. Legend has it he wouldn't shower in the packers locker room because he had gyno.

[BroadStreetBruiser]

Did you ever train with Rory or seen him train?

have you?
