People, im not calling bluffs on anyone.All im saying is that he might touch his chest with the weight. i can do 180 kg where i pause 2.5 inches off my chest, but do i count that as a benchpress? Hell no. My maximum is 130 kg where i go down under control, pause at the bottom, and go all the way up.[/quote]
I doubt you would be able to unrack 180 kg.

I never do this but I’ll make an exception.
Bull…SHIT.
2.5 inches does not knock 50kg off your bench. When I did 140 off my chest, I did 140x3 to a 2 (ie 3.5/4 inch) board. I’d be lucky to do 180 off a 4 (8 inch) board.
Jealous hating makes you look like a dweeb.
OP you look pretty good. Might wanna work the squat and deadlift a bit harder tho. Should add some nice thickness to your back and round out the whole package nicely.
This is how someone should look before they start dieting for a contest: Strong, Thick, Solid, Smooth, Lean, and Pale.
I would only say that you should work on erector thickness and trap size. You’re large everywhere but your neck, upper traps, and middle traps. Some combination of Deadlifts, Rack Pulls, Shrug Variations, T-Bar Rows, and Barbell Rows will surely do the trick. Your traps will probably blow up pretty fast as I imagine you’ll be able to handle a lot of weight on Rows and Deads given that your Chins and Squats are so strong.
You must be leaner than you look because you don’t have a six pack but you do have some lower lat definition (something most people with 6-pack abs lack). So I attribute your lack of abs to poor lighting.
The two weaknesses you need to work on are lighting and trap size…the easiest things to fix in bodybuilding. Congrats on already doing the hard work.
James can pull 220kg no probs, think he’s going to start deadlifting weekly to build up his back.
He’s not a fan of training to get a six pack but his genetics allow him to have one… >:o(
yeah lookin thick set bro good base to really work from, depending on how serious you are about competing mate you could do with some calve raises? haha good luck on cutting down for your fight butterbean
Y would i be jealous from someone i dont know? i have nothing to prove.Lighten up Hanley. All i did was ask the OP about his technique when benching.
Since im not familiar with inches, ill rephrase my previous quote. Benchpressing, while pausing 10-15 cm off the chest is a lot easier than going all the way down. It is a useful technique in order to increase your benchpress, but it does not count as a benchpress.
To the ericbynesjr and defect no im not going to post a video. I do not really care whether you believe me or not. and by the way unracking 180kg, and going halfway is pretty easy to get 2, the average joe can achieve that in a matter of months. The challenge is in the bottom half of the benchpress,defect.
To the guy who has a gay bikini shot in his avatar, and anonym, i appreciate ur opinion.but i was not being jealous,i was merely asking a question. The irony here is that u came off looking like 2 lame guys, 2 ashamed to post their pics,and throwing off remarks about other people, when it is clearly not ur place. when u r brave enough to post pics of urself, u can talk.
But do not talk the talk if u cannot walk the walk.
OP, good work young fella. Keep going. Dont change too much, but perhaps focus now on exercises that you havent focused on up to now. That will round out any weak points in your physique.

I have pictures of myself on this site, so half of your retarded fucking argument is out. I’m not the one claiming outrageous things. I never said any of my lifts/my body was up to par with anything. I never claimed to be able to lift more than I can lift. Until you post a video, you are full of shit. Since there will be no video posted YOU ARE FULL OF SHIT. I’ll eat my words if you post said video, but the chances of you doing so are pretty low, mainly because you can’t do it.
Defect, y the insults? I was not talking about u not posting ur pictures. I made it clear that i was talking to the guy with the gay bikini picture, and anonym.
I do not give a crap whether or not u think im full of shit, im not posting, or training, to prove anything to a guy, who just began training, and needs some serious liposuction.
I would redirect my energy, if i were u, into finding out how to improve urself, rather than trying to prove others wrong.
Says the guy whos 170 and has been training 4 years. If you wanted to take this to a personal level we could do that I guess. I may have just begun training, but, my LBM is as much as you weigh, we are the same height, I am stronger in every lift, and it seems I have made more progress in my little time than you have in your four years. To me it looks like you are the one who should be working to better yourself, not me.
But I do appreciate your comment about my little bit of pudge. That will be gone within a few weeks, but your criticism is noted, even though most people who actually know anything about bodybuilding realize my fat gain was pretty small.
Note, the throwing out of horrible numbers/stats by me was only done becuase the asshat called me out on them. By no means do I think I am better than someone for being bigger/stronger, only if that person is trying to convey that message about themselves would numbers/stats even be brought up, and only then to shut the moron up.
Dang man, looking thick. Nice. You’re going to look great whenever you decide to shred up.

Either i have 3 wrong rulers and a wrong tape measure, but 15cm is about 6" not 1.5". Even 10cm is like 4". Is that what you tell girls after u tell them u have a 1.5" dick? “im not familiar with inches, but its about 15cm” as a cover up?
OP: You are big. Keep it up. Dont let this steel_12 get to ur head. And as someone said, i DOUBT he can even unrack 180. Him saying ur chest was small looking at in a double-bi pose was totally uncalled for. From what i saw, even in double bi, i can see some chest thickness. Set him straight and post a side chest or something.
what the hell is going on? hell of a lot of bitching going on where’s the T? more like oestrogen nation at the moment . . haha snap out of it lads. . . steel stop talkin nonsense 180kg would snap your arms off

Wow, you are just massive. I didnt realize your training knowledge was so indepth and complete… seriously, why you on the haterade?
This guys accomplishments are quite impressive given his time training with loads of more potential to massively improve. So how bout instead you STFU and actually go train instead of parade around here like Mr Lanky Armchair expert.
Why must you bring down the state of this forum with your ridiculous comments. You think the average joe could partially B.press 180 kgs within a few months??! Is that before or after his wrists break and the barbell crushes his ribs? The problem is that the people on this forum actually train, see big people striving to move big numbers and understand that 180 kgs is far heavier than you suggest.
Keep your inflated tales of glory for myspace or some other outlet where people may ignorrantly believe you.
i dead lifted 275kg (605 lbs) 2 day grrrer! STEROIDS are kicking in…only joking does d-bol count? cause its only a pill!
I hope this is a joke statement.

LOL!
Great looking physique!
It looks like you put more effort into training upper body than lower body.
