Thanks Keith...!

Someone correct me if I'm wrong...but I swear it's 405. Still impressive.

I hate these "not very strong..." arguments. Irrelevant either way...but we don't know if he's at the end of his workout...dieted down, his 6th set...etc.

Dennis is very, very strong especially on pressing movements, those plates might be the same ones he used in his Back to Basics video that are really thin 45 pound plates, he did 5 on each side in Back to Basics for 3 reps.

Well...if there are 5...then it's 495.

yeah i think it was, that clip isn't of Back to Basics but i think the plates are similar, those were the craziest looking plates i've ever seen, they were like a half inch thick, plus he had that crazy ass training partner growling at him and barking like a dog, that guy is nuts.

davidpaul · « **Reply #54 on:** January 21, 2007, 01:45:21 PM »

they are 5 20 kg plates, so its 485.

He's a bodybuilder...who gives a f**k about how much he can lift?

Last time I checked...there wasn't a "bench round" at the Olympia.

BTW...not for nothing, but isnt he using 405? The video is a little dark..but if those are 45 lb. plates..I count 4 on ea. side.

Well obviously Dennis cares about how much he lifts cause if he did not he would have went lighter. BTW I think the guy IS strong though and agree its not about the weight.

It looks like Dennis cares for why would he have someone record such a thing...I really don't think anyone gives a shit how much he benches. But when he puts it out their like this...Why not comment on it...By the way a bodybuilder that has to take close to a whole minute trying to sych himself up for a lift diff/cares about the weight he uses...I thought he was going to go into slapping himself on the face or something...

Hell everyone on this board thinks that Rusty was strong as hell in his video and the guy only got 315 for a few reps(granted he was super setting with pullovers) but hardly what anyone would call real strong for a guy using hormones to the max...

Why record such a thing? To film a DVD to sell...simple.

He wasn't "psyching himself up"...he was getting his breath and his bearings.

let me guess,

you know 40 hawaiians that could easily do that with no spotter for 20 reps.

yes, i'm sure dennis is going to want to risk a serious injury just to impress you.

hows he risking injury by the spoter not pulling the bar?

no its not if you two cant pull 100 pounds up with one arm then i feel sorry for you. if you cant easily row 100 pounds for 20-25 reps then your weak sorry. theres no man a grown man cant easily pull 100 pounds with momentum coming from the bottom as well, making it lighter. you should first learn about physics, then go to the gym to try this experiment for yourself

Again, have you ever trained? Does that guy look like he is exerting himself like in a one-armed row? I feel sorry for YOU having such little common sense and retarded thoughts.

i highy, highly, highly doubt that Dennis inclined 585 for 2 reps, he's strong but not THAT strong.

Thats what he said, and I he's not the sorta guy to make shit up. I believe it

asani · « **Reply #63 on:** January 22, 2007, 08:33:13 AM »

If I did not know better, I would say that Bob is against heavy weight lifting or anything that challenges your strenght. So, Bob, how much you bench?. That's the most popular questions for anybody who look like they can press a ton of shit. There was a famous powerlifter who said that Bodybuilders are all muscles, and no strenght. Eventhough I did not agree with the statement, but sometime it proves the point. We are all assumed that looking like Hercules comes with a lot of strenght and power. and yes, I have yet to find a guy whose honest about his LIFTS and that goes mostly for Bodybuilders. and that's just my opinions

The Squadfather · « **Reply #65 on:** January 22, 2007, 08:55:49 AM »

Bob has said before that he tore either his shoulder or pec benching 500 and he hasn't done a flat bench since, he's a pretty strong guy though, he did a bunch of reps with 5 plates on each side of the flat Hammer Strength bench and very deep reps with 125 pound dumbbells on the incline on War for the Worlds.

people need to realize that, yes, while the guy could be pulling 100 pounds up, he obviously isn't. there is little to no exertion happening there and i would honestly say if he's helping on any rep but the last on is isn't until the bar is most of the way up, and even then it's a feather touch.

let's try this again with a different example:

lol what a pussy, the spotter was deadlifting like 600 pounds of that!!11111one

haha your a fucking dweeb, does the guy look like he's exerting himself? well lets look at the facts

1)i cant see his face, so your question is retarded
2)why would him bend his legs to not spot
3)he has his hand wrapped around the bar
4)his is bending at the waist with every rep

that is not common sense by the way you dumb shit, common sense is knowing your mother is older then her daughter, not how much some guy can spot on incline benchpress.

i would say based on the above facts, the ridiculous amount of weight, and the hand on the bar from the lift off, that yes he is in fact helping quite a bit.

any other complaints genius. work on the common sense.

i didn't realise that it was going on a DVD...Thought it was someone using a camera phone...No biggie

So you believe that he doesn't care about weight?
