I would rather believe someone telling me they overheard Danielson say, "Sorry, I don't swallow".

He is seen holding the weight. We don't see him actually do it. Usually there are spotters on hand that get out of the pic. Also, he is dieted down so, i'm prety sure it was not an actual workout. Also, bbers usually lie about the weight they use and how much they weigh. Flex and other mags usually use fake wheels for their shoots

In contest condition no less.

This is just as bad as Earl1972 saying he doesn't want to swallow a hot mouthful of...ok I've said too much.

are you insinuating that Earl has personally tasted Levrone's ball gravy, Matt?

I dont.... take any of the oics in flex seriosuly or claims...
some of the dubios claims i have seen
eddie abbew..
bench 630 for 6 reps
ernie taylor bench 540 for 6 reps
also a lot of pics of pros using
5 plates for bench no spotter..
claude groulx.. markus rul....
there is one of art atwood i think inclining 6 plates.... with are milos spotting..
...
i dont go by any of that stuff.. i go by videos...
it always shows who is bullshitting....
eg in an 2001 copy of flex.. i think it had.... an whole article on victor martinez talkin about... heavy inclining.. and how he inclines 5 plates for 6 reps....
...
when i saw him on video.. h was struggling with 3 plates on the smith machine...

lol no way! I read in MD that Victor was able to do a couple of sets with 315 for 10 reps at 19 years old!

Colossus_1986 · « **Reply #13 on:** August 25, 2006, 04:15:40 PM »

Yeah but that was probably offseason. Nobody really lifts heavy in contest shape (except:Branch and Jo.Jackson)
The flex pics are bullshit.
Look at JP Fux...tore the living shit out of his legs doing a photo-shoot with way too much weight.
The last week before a show, and the week after, the strength is not fully there, so it's insane to think they can do those weights.
They stage it, it sells the mag, and Ben Weider goes home and swims in his diamond-encrusted jacuzzi.

The videos are the best way to judge it.

DragonsBreath · « **Reply #19 on:** August 25, 2006, 05:11:41 PM »

Take a close look at the article....real plates are on the outside for "camera purposes" and the 3 fakes one are in the middle.

Haidar is not that strong. That's Coleman weight!!! Haidar is like a third of his size.

Com'mon FLEX magazine! Be real for once!
