According to pg. 134 of the latest issues of Mens Fitness (we get it at the gym):
"...I'd warm up with 135 pounds, then add another wheel to make it 225 pounds, and then get 40 reps each with 315, 405 and then 315 again."
That is an exact quote.
Am I missing something?
40 reps with 405lbs?
-
hahahahahahahahahahahaha.
-
I want to see you try 40 reps with 405?
-
Skin tight jean shorts might be conducive to squatting ???
-
Sorry were you guys laughing at the claim or lauging because you feel it's easy?
405 for 40 would be quite a feat
-
I want to see you try 40 reps with 405?
i can only do 10-12 with that, the reason i was laughing was because there is no way he did 40 reps with 405.
-
hahahahahahahahahahahaha.
give me a break...40 fuckin reps..what, do these guys think we will be like "oh wow thats cool man" lift claims are hilrious..
squadfather...what are some of the whopers you have heard in your day....i think mat duvall might take the cake

My bad.
Funny sometimes I read these things, like a claim in an ad of shoulder pressing 315 for 20. Then on shoulder day I feel like a pussy struggling with 275. I try 315 and can't even get it half way up.

Again, someone bigger and stronger than the average person has to tell lies about his lifts ::)

you ain't the only one, if i tried 315 on shoulder presses they'd be carrying me out on a stretcher, i couldn't move a 315 shoulder press a half inch.

I thought for sure you'd mention 240's incredible squatting feat.......

hahahahha, exactly Mal, Duvall claimed he could Smith Machine shoulder press 635 for 2, hahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaa a!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
oh yeah....that was too funny...i asked did his finger slip from the 3 to the 6....and he was like na...he did 635...and i also think it might have been behind the neck
-
BTW, Austin's got some good size wheels (or used to before fucking himself up). But I call bullshit on that claim.
-
oh yeah....that was too funny...i asked did his finger slip from the 3 to the 6....and he was like na...he did 635...and i also think it might have been behind the neck

Yeah I guess it's good to keep it in percpective. A few of us on here are pretty strong I would imagine just not "Muscletech" strong.

Actually, 240 or Bust "only" claimed 20 reps. 8)
Quote from: 240 or bust on June 15, 2005, 07:35:43 PM
Hi Cheap Stomach,
I'm glad you asked. I get asked all the time about my squatting numbers and I'm always happy to help a young fan.
One fateful summer, I got that free rack, a Sports Authority set, and started. I squatted 2 times a week for one heavy set of 20 reps. Now and then I'd add deads or benching, but most of the time, it was just squats. I pigged out at the same time- I had just quit teaching and had nothing to do but lift, eat, and play PS2.
By the end of the summer I had gained 30 pounds (most was muscle- i finally filled out) and I was regularly doing 300 pounds to parallel for 20-rep squats, just like the internet article I had read had described. (We've all read that one- and it works!) It was at this time I joined a gym and started to break weights over 300.
315... 335... 355... the weights went up as my reps begain to dip below 20. I always had a spotter or two, and usually finished without assistance. Soon I was using 405, with 2 spotters, every other weekend on Sunday, with knee wraps. I got up to 8 or so very sickening reps that first time, and nearly sharted. Rough day. But I continued on. It got easier as I hit the early 420 and 430s.
Hurricane Charley came shortly thereafter and destroyed my beloved SOS Gym in Pt Charlotte, FL. So, I joined a new gym in the fall. By this time, I was working a ton and attending FT classes. I started doing cardio- for the first time in 2 years- and couldn't run 1/8 mile without stopping. Shinsplints followed. But after a while, the cardio came easier for me.
Today I usually squat without a spotter and typically don't go over 315 for 10 slow safe reps. I don't use wraps, and I don't weigh 220 anymore. I'm at 191 today. My knees ache most days from the cardio, so I am careful about risking heavy leg work while dieting.
Cheap Stomach, I thank you for your letter. Best wishes in all your endeavors. Also, I feel my placing at the Ironman this year was due to the fact that I am too involved in politics and that I defended my wife's Olympia placing. Peace.
-240 or Bust.

Again, someone bigger and stronger than the average person has to tell lies about his lifts ::)
are u shittin me...you believe in the easter bunny..dude he didnt do no damn 40 reps with no 315 let alone 405..
-
The sad thing was it wasn't in an ad, it was an interview, which I take as a bit more credible.
Here's what his workout would look like
Squat
135 X 20 reps
225 X 20 reps
315 X 40 reps
405 X 40 reps
315 X 40 reps
RIDICULOUS!!!
For perspecitve, here's Steve Kuclo doing 405lbs for 20 reps:
-
When I was a really hardcore wresting fan in undergrad (it got kinda lame) Stone Cold was always wearing a knee brace. I can't see him squatting anything, maybe leg presses though.
-
hahahahaha, then he lost his mind when i called him on it and challenged me to get in the wrestling ring with him. ;D
exactly...like "wrestling" ::) with him would some how validate his bogus ass lift claim...
-
are u shittin me...you believe in the easter bunny..dude he didnt do no damn 40 reps with no 315 let alone 405..
That is what i am saying. He is bigger and stronger than the average person yet still has to lie about his lifts...
-
exactly...like "wrestling" ::)with him would some how validate his bogus ass lift claim...
hahahahaha, he hasn't been back on here since, can you even imagine six 45's and a quarter on each side for SHOULDER PRESSES? hahahahahahahahaha. ;D
-
That is what i am saying. He is bigger and stronger than the average person yet still has to lie about his lifts...
ohhhhhh ok...my bad...sorry bout that
yeah if i was the interviewer...when he said that, i would have just got up and walked out...
-
hahahahaha, he hasn't been back on here since, can you even imagine six 45's and a quarter on each side for SHOULDER PRESSES? hahahahahahahahaha. ;D
right...like i work with 255 and thats for like 8...now i figured that on average...for those basic lifts...pros do like 100lbs-150lbs more than me.....but dude..400lbs more. Dude makes me question everything he ever says
-
Haha Jessy Marunde did 405 for 20 reps and now this clown claims he can do it for 40 reps. ::)
Why do these people lie about their poundages?
-
I thought his knees were shot. When did he do this??? More BS.
-
exactly...like "wrestling" ::) with him would some how validate his bogus ass lift claim...
No big mal he really did leg press 405 for 40
haha
-

255 for 8 is phenomenal for seated shoulder presses if you're lowering the bar below your chin, believe me that's more weight than you see being handled on that movement in 95 percent of gyms, i gaurantee you most pro bb'ers don't go much heavier than that outside of the Smith Machine.
-
ohhhhhh ok...my bad...sorry bout that

No worries.
I can never understand why someone who is obviously extremely strong has to inflate their lifts. If he had of said he did 20 reps with 315 and 15 with 405 (which is probably closer to the truth) it is still heavier than your average gym user.

yeah i bring it down to the chin. and i dont have a spot because im lifting alone again..but i think that pros juiced to the grills do more than my fat ass

dude platz did 495 for 23 and there are guys who can bench 405 for 20+. a 4 plate squat for 20 is really impressive but certainly not WSM champion level. hell marunde can behind the neck jerk 495.
that said, 405x40 for a guy who has two knee braces? no way.
-
hahahahha, exactly Mal, Duvall claimed he could Smith Machine shoulder press 635 for 2, hahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaa a!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
;D ;D ;D 635 X 2 ;D ;D ;D My favorite alltime BS gym story.
-
he was out here in Aus training in our gym whislt filming a movie, he trains like a pussy and his stunt double reckons he cant fight, what a letdown, stone cold pussy.He didnt squat more than two plates a side for more than 12 reps the whole time he was here.
-
arn't both his knees seriously messed up
i dont even think he could unrack 405...lmao

Remember that Platz was in a suit and with wraps and belt. Although it were the old goldline wraps and the Marathon suit (awesome suit to squat in), it still helped.

240 is as strong as Kuclo wow :P
Squadfather aint far behind him either ::)

lol 240 is a joker, thats a given
but squadfather sounds serious...you look pretty strong man..but 10-12 reps with 405...COMMON!

he definitely wasn't in wraps, just something around his left thigh. and i'm willing to bet it was just a singlet.
-
Well, he did SOMEthing to get that neck! ;D

I stand corrected. I watched the clip, and it does look like a singlet.
And no, no wraps either.

I have done 405 for 15 slow, deep, close stance reps (shoulder width) at 215 natural with just a belt...no wraps or anything...no spotters...in a challenge with another guy who could squat pretty good too...he did 14. 8) I promptly puked my guts up afterwards. I also have competed and won several national level power lifting competitions and Stone Cold has not...a wrestler does not train for power lifting, so I am highly skeptical of this. Do I think he is probaly strong and could kick sopme serious ass in real life outside of the ring...yes. Just as it would be silly for one of us to say we could wrestle him with no training, it is silly for him to say that he could do this kind of thing without training exclusively for it.

i rad a article on him years ago when he was still wrestling and one of these writers went around with him for 1 week for the interview. he wrote that he went to the gym and was doing leg presses because of his knees (this was when he was still wrestling and at his peak in popularity) matbe their was a misquote and it shuld say leg press? people with bad knees dont do 405lb squats.
-
i can only do 10-12 with that, the reason i was laughing was because there is no way he did 40 reps with 405.
Bullshit u can do that, u fat piece of shit.
-
Bullshit u can do that, u fat piece of shit.
I'm a fat piece of shit and can do it easily. What's your statement got to do with how strong someone is? 405 for 10-12 doesn't make you a god. Sounds like a brutal case of internet jealousy to me. If some of you people take a look at people who train for strength, you'd be surprised at teh body types you'll find. I've got a kid I'm working with ATM that deads 600 (suited ofcourse), 19 years old, and is only 185lbs. There was a LEGIT vid posted yesterday I believe with a kid, only 20, hitting 405 on the bench for 10.
-
Okay, there's obviously a TYPOGRAPHICAL ERROR, and 40 should read 4.
135 X 20 reps
225 X 20 reps
315 X 4 reps
405 X 4 reps
315 X 4 reps

Why the hell would one waste time posting a video on get big of a typical everyday squat session? Give me a fucking break. Unless you have the legs of my 8 year old sister or are stricken with MS, there's no excuse for his lame ass to not get under that way unless it's "that time of the month" every leg day.

Ya know,now that I think about it, the only people that I hear squealing for vids are muscle worshipping closet clowns. A huge public outcry to see someone lift weights is typically a sign of it. Look bro, if you want to buy a pair of my undies, just say so, you don't have to be a tool about it. ;D

You look like a big dude. I would think squatting that much weight should be cake. People just scream bullshit to cover their own insecurities and e-stroke that fucking ego. I get why people crack on you but for a squat any everyday gym goer can achieve? Talk about choosing their battles.
...on a side note if you're still squatting. Talk to TheHeckler. Dude has given me some solid squatting advice and helping me push it towards my goal of 500 on the squat. Unless you've got enough bullets in your gun as is.

like i said squatting and deadlifting have always come fairly easy for me i'm still a little over 500 for 4 since losing weight on my squat and over 500 for a single on deads, now if he can help me improve my bench i'd be happy. ;D

stone cold has no knees ... i really doubt this
-
Your first time out you tried to pick up 500 from the floor? ???
no no..i hve been doin them for like 2 months now...but i would only stop at like 315 for 4 sets of 8...but then i just stayed there.. but 2 weeks ago i had a new training partner.. and he was callin me all kinds of weak and stuff...so we progressed up to 5 plates...he did like 4 reps...and i did one...

I was fixing to say. DAMN MAN! I'm still trying to get 600 off the floor. I can get 660 strapped and belted from below my knees on the rack but that last few inches is killing me. I'm hoping the introduction of squats to my routine will help that. You sound like me. I've only been squatting for about a month now. We've been missing out on the good shit. Deads will take you places man.

its decent. pretty strong for a natural.
dont think you can do 12 * 405 squats though. and you will never prove it cause you are a loudmoutch bitch.

Ofhreally? For me very strong, OK My squat record is 5 plates each side with 6 reps.But,I train with 3 plates and i feel it very heavy.
Let alone my dead lift,i am really weak.My best dead is 4 plates each side.
I train my pec with 260.

I train my pec with 260.
I am really weak... :-[
That's not weak at all. That's very good weight. I haven't hit 500 yet. I think it's all a mind fuck though. Every big bump I've made to this point has been anyway. I psych myself out. Monday night I hit 425 like cake for 5 easy so went for broke, in the cage ofcourse, with 465. Hit it for 10! 500 though? 35 more lbs might not seem like alot until it's on your shoulders. You're ahead of the game...more so than most you'll see. Stick with it big'n. In another year 4 plates off the floor will be your warmup. ;D

in general:
big boned americans as gh15 says. most of em look like shit tho. fat pigs who move big weights but look more like "powerlifters".
Guilty. 230@15% isn't skinny by any means.

In most gyms its pretty rare to see people squatting and deading 500lbs, but for most of you Americans it seems to be nothing.

I was fixing to say. DAMN MAN! I'm still trying to get 600 off the floor. I can get 660 strapped and belted from below my knees on the rack but that last few inches is killing me. I'm hoping the introduction of squats to my routine will help that. You sound like me. I've only been squatting for about a month now. We've been missing out on the good shit. Deads will take you places man.
Yeah i hate i started so late...im 25 years old and im so narrow and flat when it comes to the back...i have monster arms shoulders and a nice chest...but it looks like im a model instead of a bodybuilder.

Actually, 240 or Bust "only" claimed 20 reps. 8)
Quote from: 240 or bust on June 15, 2005, 07:35:43 PM
Hi Cheap Stomach,
I'm glad you asked. I get asked all the time about my squatting numbers and I'm always happy to help a young fan.
One fateful summer, I got that free rack, a Sports Authority set, and started. I squatted 2 times a week for one heavy set of 20 reps. Now and then I'd add deads or benching, but most of the time, it was just squats. I pigged out at the same time- I had just quit teaching and had nothing to do but lift, eat, and play PS2.
By the end of the summer I had gained 30 pounds (most was muscle- i finally filled out) and I was regularly doing 300 pounds to parallel for 20-rep squats, just like the internet article I had read had described. (We've all read that one- and it works!) It was at this time I joined a gym and started to break weights over 300.
315... 335... 355... the weights went up as my reps begain to dip below 20. I always had a spotter or two, and usually finished without assistance. Soon I was using 405, with 2 spotters, every other weekend on Sunday, with knee wraps. I got up to 8 or so very sickening reps that first time, and nearly sharted. Rough day. But I continued on. It got easier as I hit the early 420 and 430s.
Hurricane Charley came shortly thereafter and destroyed my beloved SOS Gym in Pt Charlotte, FL. So, I joined a new gym in the fall. By this time, I was working a ton and attending FT classes. I started doing cardio- for the first time in 2 years- and couldn't run 1/8 mile without stopping. Shinsplints followed. But after a while, the cardio came easier for me.
Today I usually squat without a spotter and typically don't go over 315 for 10 slow safe reps. I don't use wraps, and I don't weigh 220 anymore. I'm at 191 today. My knees ache most days from the cardio, so I am careful about risking heavy leg work while dieting.
Cheap Stomach, I thank you for your letter. Best wishes in all your endeavors. Also, I feel my placing at the Ironman this year was due to the fact that I am too involved in politics and that I defended my wife's Olympia placing. Peace.
-240 or Bust.
Need anyone ever say anything else!!!

True, I've never seen anyone deadlift over 500, not in my current gym and not when i was at university. There was a guy who might have squatted over 500 in my university gym, he competed in the highland games. Strong as anything but i never felt the need to count the number of plates he used.

serve that story with some parmigiano

There aren't many that do it here. But at Metroflex down the street, it's nothing to even get a look about.

have you talked to gay moore?

I've done 315 for 30 before but I couldn't imagine doing 405 for 30 much less for 40.
All of you know that wrestling is real and their claims are true.

Who?! ??? I got an invite to go in there with a day pass with a friend. If you're talking about the owner no I didn't meet him but he's a marketing genius when it comes to gyms. Look at the names he draws to his place and hte peoplpe he caters to.

Agreed.

didn't read the thread so if this has been posted sorry but....as far as I know Austin's neck is shot so I don't even know if he could put 400lbs on his shoulders without having major pain plus both of his knees are in terrible shape if I remember right, he wears braces on them when he wrastles from what I remember....he hasn't wrastled in awhile so maybe he got them fixed but still...

I hate to break this to some of you guys who are on Squad's case...being ripped does not make you stronger. I am sure I will hear the same crap now, but I do not look much different than him...I am 5'6 215-220 pounds...not ripped just big...or fat as some of you are saying. I have deadlifted 615 for a double with no belt, conventional style, 100% natrual. I can slo bench around 365 and squat mid 500's. His claims are not far fecthed at all at his size. In fact, I have some really small guys do some crazy lifts. I saw a guest lifter at a power lifting meet at 165 squat 600 for five good reps. He was sauced but who gives a shit...that is raw power, and he looked like he was just an avergae dude walking down the street. So to summarize...a guy at Squads size can surely squat 405 for reps...not 40 but reps. Also, having some fat does not make you weak and being ripped does not make you stronger. Thank you, drive through.

Big mal...maybe you are just getting bad advice about how to train or diet. For example, if you want to squat and deadlift 500 pounds...you actually have to do the lifts AND you cannot go to the gym 7 times a week and do cardio for an hour so that you have abs for the beach. You do not squat and deadlift 500 pounds by accident...you have to actually try to accomplish it. Hope this helps.

Morbidly obese? Dude you have just shown everyone here how little you know about lifting weights / body building. This does not even need a reply.

that wasnt a meltdown. most of what nick says is true.

I'm a fat piece of shit and can do it easily. What's your statement got to do with how strong someone is? 405 for 10-12 doesn't make you a god. Sounds like a brutal case of internet jealousy to me. If some of you people take a look at people who train for strength, you'd be surprised at teh body types you'll find. I've got a kid I'm working with ATM that deads 600 (suited ofcourse), 19 years old, and is only 185lbs. There was a LEGIT vid posted yesterday I believe with a kid, only 20, hitting 405 on the bench for 10.
Shut up!
-
how much you want to bet? come to St. Louis and watch me train, if i don't do it with God as my witness i'll sign over the deed to my house to you.
Your still talking, like anybody is going to believe u now, go crawl under a rock.

confirmed word around here is you are just a big fat biscuit boy.
and the word about u is that your a sick f**k.....

Can Tom Platz, Ronnie Coleman, Kevin Levrone, Dorian Yates, or even Mariusz do 40 reps with 405?
stone cold you big bullshiter you....

Man to be hoenst, I do not know if a human quad muscle could possibly hold the lactic acid that would build up during this. I am constantly surprised by what the human body is capable of though, so I would never sya it was impossible...improbable, yes, impossible, no...a wrestler who needs to be training for other things...complete and utter BS.

exactly, watching Platz do 23 with 495 i think that MAYBE Tom at his peak could have gotten 35 or so with it.

There is other good examples out there...look at the NFL combine. The record for benching 225 is like 40...42 I think...but the guy wieghed like 350 pounds who did it. At that ratio the guy who could squat 405 for 40 would have to weigh like 600 lbs. =P

matter of f act i was just watching the NFL combine the other day on the NFL Network and a big mexican looking lineman did 40 reps with 225 and a couple of years ago there was an OG from BYU who did 44 at around 300 bodyweight.
-
The sad thing was it wasn't in an ad, it was an interview, which I take as a bit more credible.
Here's what his workout would look like
Squat
135 X 20 reps
225 X 20 reps
315 X 40 reps
405 X 40 reps
315 X 40 reps
RIDICULOUS!!!
For perspecitve, here's Steve Kuclo doing 405lbs for 20 reps:
Yep with good form like that 20 reps with 405 is hard big time!
-
it is possible after all platz did do 23 reps with 500 pounds
-
"...I'd warm up with 135 pounds, then add another wheel to make it 225 pounds, and then get 40 reps each with 315, 405 and then 315 again."
and thats the bottom line, cause stone cold said so
