Batistas big 3 lifts

[Scimowser]

In an old interview he said that when he was bodybuilding his squat and his deadlift were both over 700 and his bench was 525. Now even these days hes a massive guy, and was apparently ALOT bigger when he was off season but then his height comes into play. Do you think that his squat and bench are valid numbers? I would say within 50lbs for sure, everyone has a slight exaggeraation.

There is always a slight exaggeration. I would say his lifts are in the ballpark tho... Not one of those fools claiming things he is not even close to being able to do.

[alexxx]

He doesn't look like he can move a lot of weight.

Those numbers are absolutely true. Further, during the Olympia broadcast on ESPN, Jim Quinn was heard to say that he witnessed Billy smith measure Batista's bodyfat in Gold's Gym, Venice, just before Wrestlemania. According to Jim, Batista measured at 0.00 % bodyfat which was the lowest ever to be measured for a wrestler. True story.

he may not be able to push the numbers mentioned, but i think he does push a lot of weight, isnt he like 6'5/6'6?

All drugs

Possible but not highly likely.  I can easily believe a touch and go bench of over 500 lbs but I have a hard time with the squat and deadlift numbers.  The squat is the bigger reach in my mind.  That said, who knows?  He could very well be that strong.

[davidpaul]

I bet this guy can move some weight.

why don't you show his legs, we all need a laugh.

[TheAnimal]

lol thanks for the laugh just the thought is enough for those who have watched a show with him in it

[Spike]

I thought 'Lashley" or whatever was the one with the elevated liver enzymes?

[Farcry]

pictures do these guys no justice, batitsa is massive, a 700 pound squat is probably a lie but the others lifts i wouldnt doubt

***A LOT

[TheBigAristotle]

I think these might be true because back when he went by the name Leviathan when he was training to be a wrestler he weighed a LOT more than he does now. He was pretty fat compared to what he looks like now.

[brock125]

I saw Batista training in my gym about a month or so ago. He wasn't lifitng heavy at all. He was training back doing partial reps on pulldowns and shrugs with 85 lb dumbells. I think his 3 big lifts may have been done in his powerlifting years before WWE. Like most wrestlers he probably just trains to stay in shape without risk of injury.

According to Jim, Batista measured at 0.00 % bodyfat which was the lowest ever to be measured for a wrestler. True story.

And you are just dumb enough to believe it. That speaks volumes. If someone told you the guy measured a negative bodyfat reading I suppose you would have believed that too.

Jim Quinn did witness this, I think eh was 0.0% at Golds Venice, he was the only person to measured so low along with flex wheeler.

Very true. Plus do not forget that these guys cannot be too bulky as it will affect their ring performance. They need to be extremely in shape all year round. Remember that tey are wrestlers...not bodybuilders.

[natural al]

dude's a big guy, structurally he's huge.  His shoulders are very wide and his waist is very small considering he weighs well over 270.  I bet he's pretty close to those numbers.

Nobody living has ever been o% bodyfat. Its impossible. Also these bodyfat tests, even the hydrostatic weighing aren't 100% accurate. Plus you get misreadings. Plus bodybuilders tend to be BIG LIARS.

Why I am doing this I don't know but it might be wise to realise he's taking the piss with a rapidly becoming classic line from getbig.

It never seeks to amaze me that anyone would put up a # like 0 bodyfat.  You'd be dead.  Even rotting corps's have a higher % than 0.  3-4 is super shredded, you know that, 0 impossible.  What would it be after a 1/2 hour grewling match?  -2%?

bro, it was measured by bill smith, the same dude who measured Flex Wheeler in 03, jim quinn witnessed it.

There are some dumb motherfuckers on this board.
