That reminds me of Adibisi from Oz.

Warning: this is one of the gayest bodybuilding gallery I have ever seen.

I need to wash my eyeballs that really is very very very very very very very very very very very very very Gay[/quote]

What, scared you might like it?

Lunges are amazing, pics are horrid.

Amazing how many can’t read the 585

Those pics are pretty gay but he looks in good shape and is obviously strong. Sometimes people fake the plates but hard to fake that bar flex.

Advice to all non-gay males - do NOT get your photos taken in a g string anywhere near a bed unless there is a hot chick in the photo (and make sure people can’t photoshop the girl out of the picture).

Do you call people gay in every one of your posts or just the ones that I have seen?

Trying to tell us something here?

Before we get too far into the “gayness” of this character, I have to confess that I’m not convinced that he’s got 585 or 495 or even more than 300 lbs on the bar. Just load it up with 5 kg olympic weights.

Just look at the ease at which he walks out, turns, and again. The inertia of 585 doesn’t lend itself to such easy movement particularly from such a light guy (well under 300 lbs). IMO.

Yea, if you look at the third and last plates on the bar (at 50seconds in, after he turns) you can see that they are smooth and the rest are not.

If the others are 45s, and those are 5kg olympic weights, then that puts him at 449 lbs, which would still be incredible.

I have no idea how much those round plates are though.

Respect to him.

So wouldn’t this translate to near a 1000 pound squat?

Why does he have to turn and go down the aisle? Why not just take a couple steps back and perform them?

Because he’d hit stuff turning around.

Video of Lunges w/ 495… more reps better form.[/quote]

Well, I didn’t think his form was that bad at all, considering he was going for a 1RM. He touched the floor with his knees, that’s about all you can ask.

And when was the last time bumpers were that narrow…?

I think you make a good point. Right before performing his first lunge he does a quick semi press with his shoulders and actually makes the bar jump a bit. There is no way he could do with an actual 585 lbs.

And some of the balancing and rebounding doesn’t fit the physics of a super heavy barbell.

I mean why not just do them by the rack? Why does he have to turn around?

Absolutely. I’d say it’s merely 300 pounds. What makes me so suspicious is the little jump and the first fucked up step. If there was frikin 585 pounds in his back I think there would be some problems with that fucked up step. And the bar doesn’t even bend that much.

Myth busted!

(can’t be like 100% though, you never know)
