Strongest IFBB Pro these days ??

[affeman]

Holy shit, the guy is 2 weeks out of a Pro show in Spain and is doin' 4 plates high incline presses on the Smith machine for 30+ reps + a drop set with 3 plates, are you shittin' me?

I saw Nathan de asha do 4.5 plates front press for 10 last week

Also 5 plate bench

9 plate belt squat

[38 returns]

So he trains hard every day

Best gym I've trained at by a mile
Also viking press with 170kg

[joswift]

hes dieting and as such in a deficit, he isnt really goping to gain anything so close to a show
Its way too risk doing heavy weights so close
Last two weks for me is flushing and pumping sets to keep the muscles full.

By "front press" do you mean OHP?

If so, that's practically unheard-of & 100x more impressive than a five plate bench.

IIRC the push press world record isn't far from five plates, and that's for one rep.

This, for instance, is an incredibly impressive lift:

Sorry seated front press on smith

Some say the strongest was Ronnie, but now Nick Walker may be even stronger

[Fortress]

I’ve said this many times … and I have caught heat for saying it.

But it is FACT.

A majority of top-level bodybuilders are strongest during the two or three months before a competition.

During this time, they are blasting the most gear. As well, there is something to the hyper (and predominantly unnatural) fat-burning process that massively boosts strength and performance. Heck, some fat-burning drugs themselves have dramatic performance-enhancing effects.

This isn’t speculation.

I have seen this TIME AND AGAIN, as well as have been told as much, first hand, by countless IFBB professionals and legends.

It doesn’t matter for me this guy, not like he’ll go far as a pro, might as well lift as heavy as he can

Fuck Nick walker and the horse he rode in on!!

I believe Dallas Mcgarver was the strongest high level bb.

He was doing 900 deadlifts and 500 bench inclines for reps.

He was also using more gear than anyone so makes sense...

Dont think anyone close right now but could be wrong

Yeah those deadlifts were absolutely ridiculous. His physique on that day was also absolutely ridiculous. He was so jacked he looked potentially fragile, something would have to give. One of the most impressive things I've seen.

Johnny O, and Efferding were very strong.

MAny very strong guys out there today...

being a strong bodybuilder always come around to bite them in the ass

if you're pro - you're paying your mortgage on appearances and contract/instagram money

you become some strength clown and have to produce ungodly feats of strength to make money

instead of concentrating on the movement , specificity and building quality tissue - you have to be a whore to numbers

then you get injured - it seems like very "strong" dude Is just waiting to get hurt and then talk about that

best bodybuilders have longevity , no injuries , no cool ultimate squat vids (haven't seen jay cutlers 800lb squat vid but Ronnie is in a wheelchair )

(speedy Gonzalez accent)
heeeez ze strongest bodybuilder in zee world I teeenk

[beakdoctor]

Damnit. Don't make a thread about the strongest bodybuilder if you aren't going to talk about his strict curl. What kind of bullshit is this? Sure levrone and Ronnie were strong but ever notice how they shied away from the strict curl? It aint for pussies.

Didn't Levrone curl the 100lb dumbbells for a bunch of reps, though?  Even if he cheated, that's a hell of a lot more impressive than a 160-pound "strict curl" for one rep, lmao.

That's why i do high rep stuff now, I'm strong yes, but it's high rep stuff

In all fairness Levrone was on steroids when he did that
