The raw (possibly with knee wraps) 3 lift claims (squat, bench, deadlift) made for Rory are just a crock of shit yet the Ironage mods like MaxRep feel compelled to believe them and strike down the fellow who questioned it.
Well chris_mason (Lewis) thanks for the vote of confidence but I think you need to take a reading course. First, I am now nor have I ever been a mod at ironage.us
Second, I do not believe nor disbelieve the claims made for Rory as I do not know World record powerlifts nor was I present during the claimed lifts. I was a student/client or Rory's and I have became a friend of Iabadman and I did not have any desire to discredit either of them.
Third, if you read my posts I didn't have a problem with the guy "Lewis (chris_mason)" not believing the claims but I did have a problem with his very "getbigish" confrontational attitude. This was the only reason I asked the mods to delete his post and he was asked not once, not twice but three times to tone down his attitude a notch but kept coming back with more.
Ironage is not Getbig. I like it that way and want to preserve it for what it is. Does that mean I agree with everything that goes one there? No. When I don’t agree I just flip the screen and don’t contribute to a thread.
Just like the “Feats of Strength In the Gym Thread” a few years ago when you lambasted me for seeing a guy do 9 reps behind the neck with 405, you don’t read. You came at me as lying about this saying “no-one can do 9 reps easy in the bnp with 405”. I never said the guy did them easy OR strict OR that his form would pass in any kind of competition with judges. I’ve been training for 38 years and know what 405 looks like and so did the other people who witnessed it.
Like Hurricane Beef, I actually think you’re one of the few guys on the boards who we can learn from and who actually has some good things to contribute. That’s why the attitude kind of baffles me.
