I saw a jacked bodybuilder in my gym the other day hit 585 on straight leg deadlift for 6 easy reps with straps only.

And you never will. A rule of thumb for non-powerlfters that I use is 2% per rep. So what you can perform 10 reps is 80% of what you are strong enough to perform 1 rep. So if you can bench press 315 lbs for 10 reps, you are strong enough to perform a single with 394 lbs (315lbs/0.80).
[Note; the 2% per rep becomes unreliable for higher reps]
We don’t want to talk about you. We want to talk to you. Come back.

No, made a mistake one time. Not sure how it works with reverse image searches but I’ve been bit in the ass before. Some photos I have were published. Although I’d love to show you, and if I wasn’t posting on an AAS forum, I’d be fine to share. I have thick skin.

What are you, some Donald Trumps bastard son, or what?
I have never understood what is the problem of posting a pic for so many people? Unless your father is a cocaine lord, no one gives a shit about your face or pics on some forum… I have posted mine lots of times and was never arrogant enough to think that anyone i know cares…

Seems to be a newish desire to demand pics of dudes on here. You’re in another country @hankthetank89, different here. Not Trumps son but high enough in a position of power that I’d like to leave a smaller digital footprint. If we were on a forum talking about recipes and dating, sure. We are talking about our illegal habits. No pics. Other guys want to post them more power, I don’t need to see them to comment on their drug use or to validate mine, I’m validated enough.
Maybe its the Tren, I never participate in these debates hahaha

Okay, I see the point from a legal liability perspective.
The only bodybuilding-like pictures I have are years in the past, to the point that I am not at legal risk. And my TRT is all under MD’s supervision, with prescriptions.
But on the other hand, you do post here… That sure isn’t what I would call hiding.
Forum handle a lot different than more identifiable pieces of information.
why in general? I understand security concerns for certain people.
I’m all ears. I have no internet savvy friends to ask. Those folks on Facebook sure know no fear. So, tell me.

The real question here, from that picture alone, is how did the guy on the far right beat the guy next to him?

That picture and my 2% rule of thumb are mutually exclusive
I posted a headless shot of a show pic on another forum. I had a PM from a chick who took a screen shot of my full pick she was able to find. The title was “lesson learned”. I asked a younger friend about it. He took a cut out of my face from another post, used it to find my bodybuilding pic. He then recut the head off, searched again and got it.

Thats because the full pic was already on the net…
If you post a picture ONCE without a face, no one has the version of it WITH the face… And face or no face - you can only find pics that are on the net…
For example, 80% of pics i posted here were the only time i actually sent or posted or did anything with them, so they are not backtracable.
edit - also, when speaking of legal issues… do cops in US actually sit on forums and try to catch some dudes with half empty test vial under their bed? really?
in my country you can kill a person and no one will ever find you… i have seen CSI where Americans trace you from a camera in ATM and see your cars number or shit, but really do they give a fuck about some below average bodybuilder using some test?
No it worked the same when it was headless. It’s not just facial recognition. Anyways. You’re probably fine where you are. Any guys from the States, take a look into the forums that are specifically steroids, not only a subset of a forum. Plenty of stories of legal troubles, and not many sharing photos especially if they’ve been talking about drug use. I wouldn’t worry if you have nothing to worry about right? No use debating, I won’t do it again.

It matched the headless photo, with the non headless photo that was the same but not cropped, right?
Anyways to those who didnt understand why @RT_Nomad asked for numbers…
Dr. Mike also believes that hypertrophy is measured by strenght and reps. And you can measure it in any rep range. Very good info in this video. It basically says everything i already wrote but in much better way.
