Title: 525lbs raw BP by Dennis Cieri
Post by: The_Punisher on July 30, 2007, 11:52:49 AM
I heard a lot of people are talking about this guy as one of the strongest sub-200lbs outthere. But I don't think he's ready yet to join the big boys

he's a big boy in the upper body and i'd say he's juiced for sure although nothing too crazy, he's put together well but he's not huge by any means but he is one incredibly strong bencher to pause 525 like that and then hang with it when he hit that sticking point, i thought he'd never lock that fuckker out.

He's one of the most drug tested men in powerlifting. He has been training for 24 years or something.

i believe he is the "closest" thing on this earth to a true "drug free" champion. he may have used but i'm positive he's clean 90% of the time.

i've met him in person and he is not big at all, you would never believe he was as strong as he is. also one heck of a nice guy.

he has insane lockout strength.

also the guy cracked his sternum in 2004 when he dumped over 600 pounds on it doing a shirted meet. they had to cut the shirt off him. he came back and tried the 2nd attempt anyway a few minutes later. a true warrior.

i competed against him years ago in USAPL.

i want to know how he does it and hasn't tore up his pecs and rotators yet ???

he's got very wide elbows and actually has a fair rom for the raw weight he benches. it makes me cringe just watching it.

probably handles that weight every week for years.

Exactly.

He's been powerlifting since he was 14. i think he is 38 now.

some guys are natural bench pressers, if youve lifted enough you know what i mean.  I think it is the attachments of your rotator cuff and basic structure that makes some guys just natural bench pressers.

           A friend of mine lifetime natural 205 does 425 no problem, another short italian guy 5-7 170 pounds does 385 no problem.

It's required by powerlifting rules for every lift, even RAW lifts.

who fucking cares how much you can lift. i dont get it...   its not like we are living in caveman times where only the strongest survive or anything.  physical strength has no value except if you a professional athlete.    these guys would be better off and much happier if they put all their "strength training" time into bodybuilding.   they would get more pussy too.


that guy looks like dog shit. big upper chest, decenht outer head triceps, decent front delts...but the rest if fucking pathetic.
Title: Re: 525lbs raw BP by Dennis Cieri

why does it matter if he's a bodybuilder or not. I would bet my bank account that any offcycle BB wouldn't come near a 525lbs bench press.

its EXACTLY like bob chick said "its not how much you can lift, its how much you look like you can lift."

Because lifting big is for real men.

I don't care what bob chic says.

Post by: candidate2025 on July 31, 2007, 12:25:39 PM
yeah sure it is.

takign pride in being able to lift huge weights is a sign of insecurity, brotha. just like everything else you calim to be "macho", and for "real men".


a "real man" is not worried about seeming masculine and strong..     only homophobic (which in reality is just a term that describes someone who is scared that they themselves might be gay; so they block everything out that seems gay in the slightest; just so they might never SLIP into faggetry.), uncultured, and undeductaed men care about lifting big.






bodybuilders CAN be insecure, and that is their motivation. but for a big portion of us, including myself, its because we are sex fiends.

Jesus Christ! Saying powerlifters are insecure? Not compared to bodybuilders, not even close in general. The amount of degenerates and insecure people in bodybuilding is staggering.

Powerlifters love to train. It's not like they can use their lifts to boost their ego constantly in regular life. Unlike bodybuilders who "wear" their hobby 24/7.

Thank you.

This kid is such an idiot. Bodybuilders are insecure about their bodies and need muscles to get pussy, pretty sad really. i've competed in powerlifting and bodybuilding, i've seen the difference first hand. you should see all the drama these bodybuilders create backstage. powerlifters usually help each other out and give each other advice.

Dennis is a world class athlete who loves to train heavy. Just like people love to play baseball, football, box, grapple, bodybuild....etc.

Kids these days are so fucking stupid.

care to discuss the legality of seat belt laws? how about whether or not impeachment should be used as a political tol? how about we debate the difference between economic liberties and social freedoms, plus how and why each of the two political parties in this country will only choose one of those inalieable rights to protect??   or maybe we can discuss the events that led up to the civil war, what the root causes were, and what the people were told the war was about at the time?    maybe one of you guys would like to debate the effectiveness of  F.D.R.'s new deal??

thank you Hedge. have you seen him before?

Only seen him lift in person once. I've seen many of his lifts on youtube and elsewhere on the net though. I'm quite the fan. ;D

 He doesn't looks like he could lift 315 to save his life. Or let me put it this way: He doesn't look like the best benchpresser in the world.

If you put him in street clothes, he looks very average. And IMO, that just adds to the legend that is Cieri. 8)

A fcuking tank.

USA's got the best RAW benchpressers in the world: Cieri, Lewis and James Henderson, et al.

IMO, RAW is where it's at.

Seems like a crazy fcuker lol. Heard he considered quitting competing because of elbow problems or something like that?

Hope he doesn't, because he's another badass US benchpresser.

IMO, he's top 10-15, pound for pound. Maybe even higher.

exactly, and joe (uses the 'coach' moniker now) did it RAW at a mere 180lbs.

this guido could really learn something from the 'coach'.

go on coach, tell them how you can just take insulin and blow up to 260lbs of ripped muscle?

hahaha, just you guys wait, coach knows his shit mayne. 8)
