WARNING!!! GROSS PICS OF LARD: Is this the same powerlifter from the Arnold?

[davidpaul]

Thats Steve Wong at the WABDL Monterey meet.  He is a good lifter and If you ever get to meet him he is a nice guy.  Big as f**k too.  As for the rest of the comments on here,  I still dont understand how people can talk shit about a sport they know nothing about.  Its all weight lifting isnt it?  Nobody commented on that picture with Mendelson looking actually ripped at over 300 pounds, even though Gene looks like shit standing next to him.  I personnally am not a fan of Gene since he will only lift at his meets under his conditions it seems (with the exception of that Olympia embarresment), but he should get a little credit for his accomplishments.

I think mendy has a lot more respect because
a -  he looks good.
b -  he has the raw bench record.

[Joey Tito]

That is positively disgusting.  I just threw up a little in my mouth

Did you spit or swallow?

[bigtraps]

I wonder if that guy knows how much of a dork he looks like with that skull cap and glasses.  WOW.

[BM OUT]

The guy wears glasses because he has an eye disease and his eyes are light sensative.As far as the skull cap,your right.Ive NEVER seen a bodybuilder wear one of those.Oh wait,did you check out this months MD?Of cource that looks cool,but with Gene its stupid.Good point.

A face only a mother could love.

My brother actually took this very pic of Gene Training. Try to wrap your heads around this... What he was doing here was holding 1300lbs at arms length for 10 seconds!! It took his helpers a minute or two to pry his fingers off the bar because the nerves in his hands clamp his hands shut from all the trauma he puts them through holding that weight. I know Gene, he is actually a good guy, it's a shame he takes so much heat on the internet.

Yeah, but look at where the safety bars are set on the sides.  He's just moving the weight about 4 inches.   

And I laughed my ass off when this tub failed so badly at the Olympia.

[MikeThaMachine]

His brother goes to my gym. I love it when guys talk about him cause they look at me like an asshole when I say I am not impressed by his bench numbers at all, they say "1000lbs is 1000lbs, only people who are jealous would not be impressed". Fuck that I am not impressed by guys who are 100lbs overweight and can't put up more then twice their weight without a bench shirt. Gene is just a tub of lard in a bench suit who hasn't never done a full rep o nthe bench press in his entire life cause he has always been a fat ass. Raw lifts even by fat guys is way more impressive but I like to see actual fit guys go for bench numbers not guys who move the bar 4-6inches and call it a day.

Agree 100%! Even though he lifts 1000lbs he is not the strongest bencher. Best bench can only be measured raw.

I am sure he is a nice guy, his brother although a little weird is a pretty nice guy (except he has been known to leave weights on machines). Either way many do not respect his profession and how he does it.

[The Squadfather]

Remember a few years back when Triple H was doing commentary for the show? Some fat powerlifter named Gene came out and got crushed while trying to bench something like 1000lbs...

is this him again? If it is, what is this idiot thinking?

&search=Chad%20weight%20lifting

yeah i'm sure you could outbench gene anytime all while being totally ripped to shreds at 315 pounds and 1 percent bodyfat, while owning your own Fortune 500 company, studying for your PhD and training for your World Championship cage fight while your Playboy Playmate of the Year wife looks on, right "growthfactor"?

hahahaha, yeah "big Mike" let me guess, you're satisfied with going for a "full range of motion" with 185 for sets of 8 and getting a good pump and then moving on to "shaping movements" right?

[BM OUT]

If Gene is such a piece of crap,please explain how he squatted 1005lbs with very little training in the squat?Or maybe you could explain his 2300lb total.Yes,there sure are a lot of internet legends on here.Gene was the first to bench 900 and the first to bench 1000 but you guys are waaaaay better because you dont use a shirt.EVERY SINGLE legit fed uses shirts,sorry.As soon as you bodybuilders start banning synthol,dnp,spot injections,implants,esciclinine,t-3,etc then perhaps you can make judgements on gear in powerlifting.Untill then you sound like a bunch of do nothing idiots.

you have to remember Billy that these guys on here are all 310 pounds at zero percent bodyfat who bench press 700 for sets of 15 raw, who fuck models all day, have PhD's, make millions of dollars per year and would clean up at the Mr. Olympia if they ever chose to compete, these guys aren't impressed with anything.

Yet again you use a reductio ad absurdum (look it up, Slim).  All we're saying is, we're disgusted by this mound of obesity--don't worry, we're not talking about you, Dave.  I must also add that I am struck by Gene's surgically corrected gyno.  Look closely at his "pecs"

let's see your massive shredded body then, Joey, hahahahaha, then again you won't show shit because you're another anonymous little skinny/fat chickenshit bitch.

Don't you get bored regurgitating the same old one liners over and over?  This stuff stopped being funny by the time you logged your first 1000 posts on getbig (in other words, your first two weeks on here).

[Joey Tito]

Monster projection.  How long were people calling YOU this, then Alex23 tricked you into posting your pics?  Now you're singing a different tune, eh?

How long have you been training?  15+ years?  And ALL you have to show for it is a 17.5" fat arm?  No WONDER you stayed anonymous so long, until you got tricked into becoming "known"

[Joey Tito]

Dave, I see that you have nothing to say in response.

You know, there was a time when half a dozen Squaddies would jump to your defense in every thread.  But now--silence.  Absolute silence.  Why the change?  They saw your pics and were unimpressed.  They realized that you are just a prolific internet troll, a loser in real life who seeks validation online from belonging to a "gang", a loser who spends most of his time online, a loser who is nothing but a fat blob who would weigh all of 180 lbs soaking wet if he actually lost the DD bitch tits and protruding fat belly.

[Van_Bilderass]

They usually save the suits for the meets.  If you ever saw one of those fat slobs trying to get into 1, with the help of 3 guys and a can of baby powder.  Funny site, but a chore better saved for once in a while than every workout.

Nah, these suits are easier to get on. They are open back. I think shirt specialists like Gene use the shirt a lot in training.

[250Ben250]

Cant these people come up with a better look than the classic "Fonzy" thumbs up pose

I saw this guy last night at WalMart but he was riding out on a motorized wheel chair. I had no idea he was a famous powerlifter. True story.

[MikeThaMachine]

hahahaha, yeah "big Mike" let me guess, you're satisfied with going for a "full range of motion" with 185 for sets of 8 and getting a good pump and then moving on to "shaping movements" right?

Not exactly tubby, I know your goin for his look but I for one am not....


I would find it much more impressive if a guy who weighed 250-300lbs put up 500-600lbs then seeing a very obese guy move the bar just a few inches in a suit. I am sorry I have an opinion, I mean I guess I shouldn't have one.
