Post by: Livewire on July 12, 2007, 01:44:09 PM: 320 is kinda light by getbig standards. he must be dieted down.

either way, he's a walking heart attack by 37, so let him have his Kudos now ;)

Squad is a moron.

Do you believe in Jesus, squad? No one has him on video performing any miracles...

BTW, UT uses a formula to determine max lift/press. It's done by looking at how much someone can put up 10 times...in McClendon's case, he did 495 for 8.

His strength coach posts here, btw.

nope. 500 for 8 is wayyy up there even considering a 555 single. you'd think maybe 405 for 8 reps would be more realistic with that max.

i believe Jesus was just a normal man and had no special "powers" that you seem to believe he had.

Post by: MarvinEderFan on July 12, 2007, 01:52:16 PM: Only guy I've heard of (atleast BBer) who's done this is Eddie Robinson.

He did 515 for 8 in 1988 or something, and an unofficial WR of 610.

And he is a damned LEGEND.

So...video or I call bull.

Why do you care, Dave? Just go to the gym, do your own lifting, and mind your own business. You concern yourself WAY TOO MUCH with what others do. Can anyone say "self esteem problems"? ::)

8 reps is almost playing with the weight kind of strength... he wouldn't need a spotter..

Pay no mind to Dave, he's just jealous. He's been training almost 20 years and still can't bench more than 365. Brutal genetics for strength. His obsession with calling "bullshit" on people who lift more than him is a clear case of jealousy, that's all.

I don't understand why this is so important to him.

Wow, are you seriously spamming f5 on this thread waiting for Sarcasm to reply? Not even 2 minutes, good job. I guess it's understandable seeing as the gimmick that you spent 10 hours a day online for a month straight came crashing down on your head. It's ok though, your little pm meltdowns are cute. :D

Not to be a gay and use Ronnie or Kevin as bench marks of strength but this is a decent few reps stronger than either of them, I call bullshit! X

I can believe it.

How much does this kid weigh? Height?

I wouldn't have believed this but I saw some dude in college, a HUGE FAT dude bench 495 for 3 at 19 w/ no problem whatsoever.

I'm not discounting the possibility

Post by: TheEgoCrusher on July 12, 2007, 09:59:33 PM: West of the Mississippi, UT = Texas

East of the Mississippi, UT = Tennessee

Before you Texas homers chime in, Tennessee and Texas has an OFFICIAL marketing agreement regarding the "UT" emblem that they agreed upon 35 years ago, and it simply looks at what side of the Mississippi River a company wanting to use "UT" is located on.

FWIW, Jacques McClendon is a freak of nature. Not a FREAK OF SCIENCE like all of the I.F.B.B. pros and pro-wannabe's right now, but a true Freak of Nature. The guy is just flat out HUGE. You just have to see the guy in person to understand how big he is.

In Dante Doggcrapp's gym, it probably happens every day...

but in the real world?

Never.

There are not many humans at all who could do 500 for 8.
