I know that Kamali likes to throw around numbers he really couldnt imagine doing, but was Tom Prince as strong as he was made out to be? I mean 455 shoulder presses for reps etc is unreal, and the guy was built like a mutant.
What was your most productive way of trainnig, did you like to match the big numbers or did you go for the reps?

Prince by a landslide...

chick do you think working a muscle once a week is enough?

CHICKAMANIA IS RUNNING WILD AROUND THE WORLD! LOL (REMEMBER THE FLEX ARTICLE BACK IN THE DAY WHEN U GOT UR PRO CARD?!)
HOW U GOIN BIG BOB????
OUT OF CURIOSITY HOW MUCH WOULD SOMEONE LIKE TOM PRINCE BARBELL ROW, DEADLIFT, SHOULDER PRESS, TRICEP PUSHDOWN FOR ABOUT 6-8 REPS?????
-
can you give any exampes of the poundages he used at his peak? The guy was a beast, absolutely massive and thick all over. I dont know why everyone has a go at him cos i wasnt around when he used to post - if it was even on here when he did - but i always admired the guy for his genetics and power.
-
yeah u r right. did u seem on the battle for the olympia 2000 vid? he was huge.
-
Tom Prince had the sickest hamstrings in bodybuilding. They didn't even look real.
-
and probably the thickest side chest pose too
-
huge legs too.
-
hows prince looking these days?
hivs a bitch ;D
-
Why would you make such a stupid post?
-
i dont think its stupid .... perhaps gay sex + needles - 110lbs lean body mass = HIV
-
Why would you make such a stupid post?
what is tom doing these days? i thought i read in flex he had a health worry (years ago i read this)
ps- CHICKAMANIA IS RUNNING WILD ;) ;) ;) ;)
-
Why would you make such a stupid post?
I wonder if he would say it to his face.
-
lol ... u sound like tom
back when he was 300lbs he told me to "come say this shit to his face" ... somehow i doubt hed have the same bravado now that hes 180 soaking wet ;)

Lets see...I've trained with him when he's done seated DB curls with the 90's....front shoulder press on the Smith Mach with 5 plates/side....hack squats with 11 plates/side....squat 700....front pulldown for back with 400 lbs....Flex leverage chest press with 5 1/2 plates/side....

thats sickening, how can anyone manage those lbages? was the 700 for reps Chick? All ive heard about him is he could military press 455 for 3 reps, bench 550 for a couple, curl the 100's etc but wasn't sure if it was true. How the hell did you keep up with him? Also, to answer my original question, what was your preferred method when training with him - high reps at a reduced weight or low reps to look respectable next to him? ;D

Keep up with him? You must be joking....
I was always respectable when it came to strength, but no where near this freak...there's a reason we called him
"THE THING"...

I remember on Mayhem (http://www.chadnicholls.net/forums/showthread.php?t=2061&highlight=Hack) when he said that he did 12 plates aside. Said he only got three reps, but he got it. I guess you weren't with him when he did that? <Not being snide, just asking, really>
Did TP ever say anything to you when you two didn't train together, like "Yeah Bob, I got 12 plates aside for hacks today!" Kind of in a show off manner, or rather, that you two were just generally interested in each others lifts/progress.

11....12 can't remember every single detail of a workout we had 4 years ago, bro...sorry.
No...he never bragged about his poundages, it was just his way of training.

i live in toronto ... feel free to stop by venice gym on warden if youd like to call me a pussy to my face bob :-*
-
O.K. toughguy....
-
im certainly no toughguy bob
but now by your own "logic", if you dont show up at my gym you are a pussy... not only that but you are a much bigger pussy than i am because rochester is much closer to toronto than toronto is to san fransisco (or wherever tp resides) :D
-
I can see you're right on top of things numnutz...I haven't lived in Rochester in 5 years. I live in L.A., Tom lives in L.A.
Since you said TP told you to "say it to his face"...we can obviously assume you were talking like a tough guy back then also....guy's like you are a dime-a-dozen.
-
actually bob ... tom prince said "say it to my face" cause he let someone on the internet get him all worked up into a hissy fit
i guess thats what happens when youre high as a fuckign kite while posting ah bob?
is it true you got knocked the f**k out by a 160lb marine for runing your mouth bob?
i guess youre not much of a tough guy either, bob ... even when you have 100lbs on someone, bob
later, dick :D
-
No, it's not true...don't know where you get your stories from.
Your posts give you away...you're a sad, pathetic little fuck, another wannabe that's got a chip on his shoulder a mile wide because he couldn't make it...now the only way to think you're important is to post anonymously on an internet board, and try to bring everyone else down to your level so you have company....
Scram loser...
-
not true? ... just like theres no oil in those arms huh bob
http://www.myspace.com/jimmyjitsu :)
-
what about deadlifts and barbell and dumbell rows?
forget the asswipes and hecklers bob! answer my questions please...like this one???

and probably the thickest side chest pose too
He looks awesome in this pose. I had the privalidge of watching him guest pose at the Canadians in 2000. He looked Freaky. Too bad his health went down hill. I hope he's doing alright.

0-2 chump.....keep 'em coming.
Anytime you feel like backing your big mouth up, let me know..I'll be more than happy to wager anything you've got toughguy....pick the test, pick the Doc, whatever.
Let's see if you've got balls as big as your mouth.

Exactly what I figured....now get lost.

Sandy, why do you always evade the question?
-
to be honest i didnt take bob seriously ... but if it makes you feel better:
bob come up to toronto and we will find a polygraph and ask if youve ever used synthol(or the same product by any other name) in your arms
happy
-
Anytime....
Any fool could look at a picture and see that my arms have never been injected with Synthol, or any product remotely like it...you're only showing your ignorance in reguards to BB.
Poly, MRI, X-ray...whatever you want....how much money are you willing to lose?
Here's a few pics...'04, '05, '07...educate yourself.
-
looking HUGE in that 2nd pic Bob

Bro, to some people, no explanation will do. You don't have to prove anything to no one.
-
hey bob,
out of curiousity do u get alot of people coming up to u at the gym or when they see you (non-bodybuilding fans/ or peeps who dont know u from bb) because of ur size???
i've always wondered wat it would be like being a pro in the gym and the reaction of people to the physique.
-
how many people thought milos had oil in his tris?
chick thinks you are all fuckign stupid, there is no way to tell if someoen is using synthol just by looking at them unless they go way overboard ;)
-
If there is no way to tell...then why do you assume I have?
-
i give up on asking chick questions he hasnt answered any of mine yet >:( >:( >:(

sorry bro...must have got lost amogst the bullshit...
yes, we (pros) always get lots of people approaching...as most people dont get to see a pro bb all that often, they get a kick out of us....they are so unfamiliar with our sport that they are fascinated by the whole thing, which always turns into a 2o min. Q/A....
still cool though.....
-
Chic, aren't Tom Prince's shoulders kind of messed up now from training so heavy for so long? Has he ever said that he wishes he had trained more like you instead of going so heavy all the time?
-
sorry bro...must have got lost amogst the bullshit...
cool man...thanks for the answer.
and dont worry about the haters.
;) ;) ;) ;) ;)

Oh yeah...2 shoulder surgeries, 1 miniscus, 1 umbilical hernia.
I'm sure if given the choice to do it over again, he would have made many different (and smarter) choices....I truly believe he could have been one of the best...
-
so i guess even non-pro or amatuer lifters like me should be careful and not try to go to heavy.... but when i think of my fav pro's.....i just wanna lift the whole gym on my shoulders! lol
thanks for posting chick...i love it when the pro's interact with the fans.
-
I learned a long time ago from some of the best in the business both BB and PL that you should always listen to your body. Even if you have a routine and plan, listen to your body and adjust or modify accordingly. I never write a routine, I use a loose idea of what body part I want to work that day and then as my body tells me I choose which exercises and to what extent I go. Knock on wood, 15 years and no major injuries using this technique.
-
da_bi_da,
thanks for ur advice! i agree...i used to be abit of a 'hero' in the gym...trying to lift too heavy and doing heavy shoulder dumbell press, close grip bench, and deads and rows.
lets just say i need to see a physiotherapist for my right shoulder and left elbow from that stupid lifting i did a few years ago (left elbow - on bench the left is weaker than right and cos i went so heavy it overloaded and hurt my elbow. right shoulder- being a dickhead with heavy shoulder presses i have teaked something in the shoulder... i used to do 160 pounds barbell shoulder press for decent reps...pretty good for someone in their first 2 years of lifting.
i also used to do 360-400 pound deadlifts, 240 poounds barbell row, and 100-110 dumbell rows.
i trained more like a mix of powerlifter.bodybuilder and alot of strength...my strong points are strength and muscle...my achilles heal is i have a tendencies for body fat.

Bob we have all seen the pics of Tom at a much smaller weight since his health issues....What is he doing now that he isn't competing? How is his health now? Does he still train at all?
-
wow u were really strong...bet u were big too
thanks man... yeah was big...its too bad i didnt follow as great nutrition as i do now.
but i hope to one day return to great strength... at the moment i can only lift lighter weights and regaining my strength!!!
keep lifting!

Stronger than you.... o wait you benched 400 and deadlifted and squated 700 right ::)

exactly...i'll post videos..stay tuned.
-
ok well i think anyone who can deadlift 400 pounds and shoulder barbell press 160 pounds all for reps, tricep pushdown the entire stack 160 (perfect form) in their first two years of lifting is doing a great job.... ::) ::) ::) ::)
-
Thanks for answering our questions Chick. Nice to be able to talk to a real pro!! I really wouldnt worry about the hater theres a reason why your a pro and he is posting internet threats!!! He should probably spend more time training instedd of yappin!!! Truth is anyone can use steroids so if he thinks that is all it took to look like you he can go and do that. Meanwhile anyone who's ever taken any type of juice knows they dont do miracles they aid in the process!!!
-
hows prince looking these days?
hivs a bitch ;D
Do you act like a moron just to get attention?
-
Chick,
Do you have any good stories you can tell us from back in the american gladiator days as titan
Your avatar should get a prize...

Bob is one of the best natural pros out there....The NGA has come along way.
-
Meanwhile anyone who's ever taken any type of juice knows they dont do miracles they aid in the process!!!
completely agree
the only part i dont agree with in your post is that the pros have wayy better contacts than you and i...
makes a big difference when you and i pay $10 for a sus amp and a pro might pay $4 if not less...
