Can anyone on GetBig perform these?

[The Squadfather]

i'm sure Mr. Intenseone could do it after all he bench pressed 535 weighing 181.

[Man of Steel]

That functional strength is very impressive to watch, but even though that 145lb gymnast can do all that gymnastic stuff I'd still wager he couldn't bp 250lbs for more than 2 reps on his best day.


Amazing abdominal strength and flexibility.....still very impressive.

[beatmaster]

it's all about balancing and technic, the guy is strong as hell also and probably working for  le circe du soleil

[The_Punisher]

these little guys are strong to say the least, but if they go up in bodyweight, let's say 200lbs+, I doubt they'll be able to do all that shit

[Ursus]

My friend Paul McIlroy is a true freak reps one arm chins. and handstand pressups full length (hands on 2 benches) till head nearly touches ground without any support

Look up Jespar benicasa i think his name is and a move he called the CTI close to impossible

Exactly, strap 100lbs of additional muscle mass on em and I'd like to see some of that.  At that lighter bodyweight I think it's more about cardiovascular endurance and extreme flexibility; granted they're very strong, but I'd still like to see him bp twice his bodyweight for a couple reps.

[Ursus]

no excuse unless they are 280lbs

men over 260lbs have done true one arm chins. with weights attached and for reps

[Mr. Intenseone]

so what functional strength do you have?

Most of the time when I train, I don't train like a bodybuilder would train, or at least I don't train like that anymore, anotherwords I don't train by just isolating a particular muscle group, I integrate my program with a combination of basic strength and multi-joint movements especially in my hips, glutes, hamstrings and lower back. But basically the definition of "funtional strength" is purposeful training, training the muscles for movement!

Vern? 

[legbreaker]

very impressive, but rarely will you see a over 250 pound guy performing impressive bodyweight exercises.  This guy looks to be in the 165 range or so and is in a gymnastics center.  Could he do it if he put a 85 pound vest on??

[Richard2004]

Alot of strong jokers on here..... but can anone perform these feats of strength?

No they can't...and these are admirable feats of strength for a trained gymnast...but neither can these trained gymnasts perform RAW standing barbell presses of over 400 lbs., bench presses of over 600 lbs., barbell curls of over 250 lbs., and jerks from the rack with over 500 lbs....as can very strong powerlifters, bodybuilders, and Olympic weightlifters.

You are trying to compare apples and oranges!

[Fury]

what do you mean by that specifically?

It means it's another lie in his long list of bullshit stories that have no proof or backing. 

[Mr. Intenseone]

Vern? 

Huh??

[Princess L]

Vern? 

Huh??

Thought you were referencing  Vern Gambetta

[onlyme]

How many people would rather be a fat strong as fuck powerlifter or bodybuilder over someone who do incredible things with their bodies (like Freerunners) when you are on survival mode in the wilderness.  WHen it comes down to it like hiking, traversing, rock climbing, hanging and all round endurance I would muchrather be someone who has functional strength like a gymnast or Freerunner.  Imagine going across a wooden bridge and it collapses.  You have to hang on.  How long do you think a powerlifter or bodybuilder is going to be able to hang on compared to the others.  Not Long.

[sandycoosworth]

i could do most of those with a bit of cross training

[Mr. Intenseone]

Thought you were referencing  Vern Gambetta

Wow, I can't believe someone on HERE has heard of Vern Gambetta, I went to one of his seminars last year, how do you know of him?

[Count Grishnackh]

Most of the time when I train, I don't train like a bodybuilder would train

I think from your recent pics everybody already knew that   

[Mr. Intenseone]

I'm sure your mind-muslce connection was incredible on those 65 lb shoulder presses! 

[Count Grishnackh]

I'm sure your mind-muslce connection was incredible on those 65 lb shoulder press! 

Every guy I know who is 235 with abs needs straps to machine row 180   

[Mr. Intenseone]
