LOL.
He was no doubt talking about his best lifts. One would assume that he was nowhere near contest shape at the time of these lifts. A smart man would avoid jumping back up in weight by 30lbs really quick just to prove something to people who often never post pics of themselves.
Call me crazy, but I have this sneaking suspicion that the mind behind that kind of progress isn’t now leaping into action to vindicate himself to some meaningless posts on the internet. Put plainly, I’d be disappointed if he gave a shit.
Well, you’re gonna be disappointed. Someone here posted a link to a bet: if he can curl 350 for a single in good form he’ll get a few grand. Apperently Charles accepted. We’ll see if he shows or comes up with an excuse.[/quote]
Disappointed that he took an offer to earn a few grand in a few minutes? Hardly. I’d have been disappointed if he did it just to silence some nattering critics.
I really hope he does it because people eating their words is so satisfying sometimes =p
Dudes arms look pretty legit, I’m inclined to believe it. Really there’s just no reason not to with shit like this… if he doesn’t oh well he exaggerated a bit, and if he does it gives you something to aspire to. More power to him, he’s a fucking monster(and at 28 he has time to do some serious damage if he gets some nutritional coaching =o)

So do I. Mostly just cutting water and dieting for about the same time he did.
TRUST ME! You are much weaker around showtime than in the off season. Even if your weight doesn’t fluctuate much compared to off season or contest weight.
This post is making me think you are here just to argue and your running out of things to argue about.

Y’know, I did a 15 repper on the bench a month or so back, very wide grip and my entire chest was cooked for nearly a week.
This thread made me laugh. There was a time when people actually LOOKED UP to dudes who put in time in the gym and got big ‘n’ strong as a result. Greg Kovac’s ads may have been complete bullshit but they got me and half my friends into lifting weights.
Nowadays it’s far more popular to take potshots and stay small, apparently.
The 350 lb cheat curl and 495 for 8-12 sound retarded, but;
He’s a bodybuilder and couldn’t care less about touching his chest, his grip, benching in a Smith machine or any other of a wild number of variables that mean a difference of many pounds between a gym bench and a legitimate powerlifting bench press
At around 2:45 he does 315 cheat curls for multiple reps…as an accessory exercise.
I don’t find it unbelievable that someone who spends a good amount of their free time either in the gym or preparing for it and who uses partial reps on most of their exercises is capable of doing that much or more on a similar exercise.
In any case, bullshit or no, his physique is undeniable as is the amount of hard work that went into it.

Sorry, we could all sign a petition against stick people drawings and send it to them if you like.
After watching the vids of his 3 hr workouts and CT post about the truth of overtraining I’m going to crank the volume of my workouts up a few notches!

No I’m still arguing about the same shit, and ya’ll keep retorting with the same shit, so we’re dancing a big ol’ shit stained circle 'round here. The facts are the guy is massive, but he’s feeding everyone a big line of shit so he comes across as some genetic superman. “I only eat once a day! I bench 500lbs 10 times! Behold the power of rice and beans!” I mean, come on guys.

I agree he is a bit of a moron with the lines he gives… He’s a bad liar to he contradicts himself MANY TIMES in the vid. " I dont drink water in the gym " When about a minute before he said that he was sipping at the water fountain.

I am really confused as to why you all even care this much about what he says or why you insist on acting like he is LYING as if he has some agenda by saying he is lucky to eat once a day. That is a fucking expression. It generally comes from people who don’t pay attention to how much they eat at all.
If a man who doesn’t lift weights says he is lucky to eat once a day, do you all call him a liar simply because most of the time he eats twice or three times? Do you call him a moron and start analyzing every single word uttered?
This man is 300 fucking pounds of solid muscle. That doesn’t come by accident and even if he pays little attention to his diet in terms of being able to explain in detail the exact number of calories he eats (something most pro’s are NOT aware of), none of that erases the fact that he has made more progress at that height than most people on the planet ever could no matter what they did.
What makes you all try this hard to discredit someone?
I can see why most pro’s stay silent about exactly how they eat to gain most of their size if this is the outcome. This man did a quick interview with Polumbo.

Because HE IS LYING. He’s not confused as to how much or what he eats, or how much he lifts on what, he’s point blank making shit up. And, when you make absurd claims like that people are gonna call you out on it. From the tone of his voice it sounded like Palumbo didn’t belive him either. I’m not trying to “discredit” him, I’m pointing out the nonsense coming out of his mouth while apperantly offending the fanboys clinging to his 370 lb preacher curling arms.

…but the only people looking like tools here…are the people that give a shit this much. This man has achieved more than me or you. How about putting more effort into closing that gap rather than worrying about how many fucking times a day he says he eats.
If he did post a video of him doing 370lbs cheat preacher curls, you would simply call BS and claim it wasn’t a complete lift. There is no winning with people like you.
You focus on faults. The rest of us focus on what he did RIGHT.

You don’t know me well enough to make a claim like that. If I saw a video with the people who put up the money there watching it I’d gladly eat my words. I’m not focusing on faults, I’m pointing out bullshit. Huge difference.

No difference at all. You don’t seem to be noticing that this guy is actually bigger than many pro bodybuilders who have been at it for a decade…and he has never competed before.
Your entire focus is on how he said he eats once a day if he’s lucky and how much he can fucking curl.
I don’t give a shit how much he can curl specifically. What I did take away from it is to stop fearing longer workouts (in excess of one hour) as long as I am eating enough to support it.
Whereas focusing on that might have actually gotten something positive from this thread, we instead get to watch as you go off again and again about how he’s “lying”…as if you would be such a great interview if someone jumped you without you being prepared.
Most of the people in this thread trying to call him out would look like complete morons on film if someone ran up to them out of the blue and just started filming and asking questions.

This is what struck me as the most impressive part of the interview.
The guy competed, trained, and dieted all on his own, and WON.
What happened to people just realizing that in order to be that BIG you have to move BIG weights, that you don’t get that big or that strong without adding more and more weight to the bar?
Maybe I’m just adding fuel to the fire, but if people would concentrate on THEIR OWN endeavors and not get hung up on someone else’s maybe, just maybe, they would achieve something just as note worthy.
