Ronnie's 310lb barbell curl

[sarcasm]

Chris I have no ego at all.  And to tell the truth I never have.  I never went around bragging what I did.  I never thought I needed to.  My problem now is I have to bring up my past cause at the moment that is all I have and it's the only way to validate what I say.  I like this place and I like the fact that most people respect me even though I look the way I do.  And I think it is because at least I a past that may be worth talking about.  It was when i was the strongest and it was when I was in shape.  That is why I don't challenge anyone on here now.  Why would I.  I suck.  I have admitted how fat I am.  I am pretty stupid if I don't realize I am a slob now.  I went from going to the gym twice a day to several years of not going at all.  I am back in the gym (or was) and I was getting my strength back and taking off fat.  But, I still have a way to go.  I have set my target now for the ASC next year.  I am hoping to go.  But, no matter what, I say what I say from experince and from actual events.  And whenI have a pic to prove it I post it.  I have no videos cause really back then we didn't think about it and I didn't have a video camera.  Believe me I wish I had.  

315 for a few reps on shoulder presses and 405 on flat benches........i wish i sucked that much.

And you equate breaking a guys arm being strong.  Well then god damm I am twice as strong since I have broken two guys arms.  One in Texas (the pic) and Bruce Wey at the83' Nationals.  He is the guy on Over the Top who drinks th oil.  There was a 175 pounder who actually broke 3 guys arms in one contest.  It was the first time he ever competed.  After the 3rd guy he started crying and quit and went home.  Breaking a guys arm means nothing abut strength.  God Chris I hope you don't debate me on this too.

Come on, why be so goofy about matters?  What broke the arm, weakness???  Lol, that is just silly.  Of course strength has something to do with it.

I have never asked you to document anything and have never said I did not believe your claimed lifts.  You are a very big guy and I believe you could have done what you claim.

ASC next year.  I am hoping to go.

Keith, do you mean Arnies strongman show?

[ILLICON]

how many of you people started lifting last night........ I highly doubt he just picked up 310 lbs and curled it. his wrists woulda shattered

[onlyme]

Keith, do you mean Arnies strongman show?

No just to go and say to my friends.  I would be intrested in doing Strongman if I got back down to 300.  At that weight I could do pretty well.  275 280 though I could have better stamina.  I have a bad lower back.  I ruptured my L4 and L5 way back so some things I just wouldn't do well in.

[gracie bjj]

i remember back in the early 80,s at daimond gym seeing johnnie morant curl well over 280lbs in good form,ive seen some poundages thrown up back then on different exercises that most people wouldnt beleive if i told them

see, right here keith. here is a statement that even your deluded self knows is bs, just like everything else you say. you couldn't even follow through on some lousy teeshirts.

if you were going to be a strongman/anything, you would have been so whilst in your prime. get real man, you didn't even do squats or deadlifts for fuck's sake. don't even mention your name and strongman in the same sentence.

you are seriously delusional, lazy and fat and, frankly, you always have been.

[crome]

Who said ronnie would not be able to cheat curl 315?
If these guys can do 255lbs for so many reps, i dont see why
Ronnie should not be able to to 315 for 1-2 reps or so.

wow thanks for posting this. i doubt those dudes could do anywhere near that now....steroids must make you strong as hell! because those guys dont even look that huge or cut.

it amazes me though i think the said 15 reps with 255 that takes tremendous strength and wind power!

[buffbodz]

I would guess after the ruined career of JP Fux, that most if not all adds showing great strength moves are fake.  JP lost it all doing a squat for a pic and I would think most BB have learned from that.  When a crowd is around that's something else, but when it's just you and the photographer, I would guess most if not all weights are not correct.

I guarantee that if Keith met up with Odd Haugen, you would see some genuinely awesome feats from them both

I would love to see Keith get training on some heavy strongman events that wouldnt necessarily effect his back, Odd could help him in this regard, for instance, I bet Keith would piss a respectable axle lift

Also, Keith [if I recall] has an good grip on him, I would be interested to know what Keith could pull on a rolling thunder handle, and again, as Odd is pretty much THE man in this lift, Keith would be receiving the best tuition out there

Wow another no name no picture stalker.  Why do I attract the gay crowd that knows nothign about lifting.  Enough with the t-shirt thing ass-wipe, FedEx has accepted 100% of the responsibility.  Get over it.  Show you pic and give your name or STFU.  You stalkers and internet tough guys are hilarious.  Are you truly that little and weak.  I give you permission to try and put me down if it makes YOU feel better. It does nothing to me.  I have proven my past.  Now prove who you are or like I said STFU.  Oh! I heard your mom calling you for lunch.  Talk to you later.

Woten, now if I agreed to this I would validate what the Beast is saying about me.  Me and Odd don't see eye to eye but I know we repsect each other.  I saw Odd compete in 2002 and 2003 live and I was in amazement.  Theold guy is stronger than all hell.  He is very impressive and I am very happy for him.  No way in hell cold I keep up with him now.  The only thing I can say is we did armwrestle in 1989 or 1990 and well, he didn't fair as well.  But no matter what he is stronger than I am now.

And Beast you asked me why I didn't do the Strongman back when I was strong.  Cause I didn't want to.  Pretty simple.  In 1984 or 85 I did submit an application to enter but was turned down.  Unlike you we can't all be Gold Medal winners (Special Olympics), the strongest guy at Jack in the Box, and whatever other titles you own.

[sarcasm]

i've seen Odd Haugen train some of the evnets when he was here in town for a strongman meet and i can gaurantee you that Keith would beat Odd on every pressing event there is but Odd might have the edge on some of the otner events, i watched this 52 year old man (at that time) pull a beer truck so fast that i didn't believe what i was seeing, he's also bigger than i though he was 6'3" 290lbs.

I actually don't think I would do any good excpet in the pressing events.  Unless I got my lower back and started working legs I would do pretty shitty.  Odd is unreal.  His grip is awesome.

...he cried and went home?..I think I'd feel lousy after breaking 3 people's arms too!  Goes to show that the toughest guys are human after all.

again, zucc and quinn were using FAKE WEIGHTS. this is beyond any doubt and it was well established at the time. it was purely a pr exercise wwf style and it worked, obviously.

i'm sorry, but anyone that believes zucc and quinn did that amount of reps in that style with 255 is a child or definitely someone who has no idea on the subject.

onlyme, don't give that bs about you not wanting to compete in strong man. you had no problem competing in arm wrestling which is not even close to the prestige of strong man.

you didn't squat or deadlift. is this not true?

i believe you were bloody strong, but only on in the ego lifts, bench, curls and shit. if your back was so sore back then (that you couldn't do squats or deads) how were you doing '300lb relatively strict curls' then i think you had the potential to be very very strong, but that's just an opinion that can never be proven.

btw, the only person that can 'verify' your lifts (ray mentzer) happens to be deceased. how convenient.

i would suggest that if you were actually performing 300lb strict curls alot more than one person would know about it. maybe you can get kaz to verify it since you knew him so well  

you have been caught lying again onlyme and your only comeback is to try and rag on the person calling you on you on your bs. . it's your m.o and it's pathetic.

i know who you are because you want to be known. good for you, but that's your choice. i don't wish to be known, at least at this stage, but that's MY choice. last i checked we live in a democracy

Well actually the only other person who can verify my lifts on Getbig are MaxRep.  If you live in So Cal go to the Golds in Redondo Beach and ask a guy named Jim Rowland.  i used to train with him too.  He is a big dude and a fireman I think.  Back then he had some of the biggest bicep peaks anywhere.  Go to the Golds on Sahara and Decatur.  Go around 4 or 5 pm.  Look at the strongest guys in there and ask them if they remember teh hawaiian looking dude who got bit by a spider.  Ask them if I was strong and I did 315 BNP or super setted with on the flat and incline with 405.  Other than that sorry man.  You'd have to come to Hawaii and ask any ofthe strong guys at Golds on Oahu. Ask Francis Silva who was one of the first guys to bench 600 at just over 200. He actually trained me to get my incline to 505.  This is totally 100% drug free and close to 10 years after I took anything.  Sorry you don't believe me but there are plenty of people who seen and can verify what I have done.  I have you names not just this guy or my friend.  Call and find out.

And about squatting.  I ruptured my 4th and 5th lumbar doing squat and to this day still goes out.  I have deadlifted and used to it but again it hurts my back.  Since you obviously don't know much about the lower back and its pain it can inflict.  In allot of exercise I can't do because of it.  In others it affects me none.  Genrally anytime I have weight above my shoulders and I am bending.  Helping people move makesit go out.  Do you want the list of hundreds that have seen my back go out too. 

I'm glad I have time to answer all your questions about lifts I did nearly 20 years ago.  I inclined 505 around 1994 or so and the most I have benched since 1987 or 86 is 495.  Not that I couldn't just because I never tried more.  And the reason I didn't do the strongman is because they turned me down. And to this day one of my best and closet friends is still the youngest competitor ever to compete in the WSM at just 19.

Do you have anymore questions.  Oh but I think Gene Mozee might vouch for me too but not sure if he ever saw me curl.  He came to the gym to take pics of me for M&F but not sure if I curled for him.  I know I benched for him.  He took this pic at Rays gym.  I'm not really sure why I have to validate myself to you.  Especially since you don't knowmeor I know you,

[onlyme]

By the way can you list your lifts and show your pic so we know for sure you are even someone who goes to a gym.  So far NO ONE has vouched for you.  Maybe some pics and vidoes of your lifts will do.  Also, can you give any names to verify your lifts.  Thanks, I am sure you understand, since I have been on here for two years and just about everyone knows who I am but no one knows who you are.  I am sure you can see where it would be hard to listen to a guy who has neverr lifted.  And please just don't come back with a yes I work out answer.  You'll need to prove it. Thanks for your cooperation

[gracie bjj]

onlyme thats some heavy duty weight,your tendons must be like steel cords to throw up that type of weight,impressive liftin imo
