To the OP, you need to work on your lying skills. In your previous post you stated that you did more (145 for reps on flat bench) and now you’re saying you set a record by doing something 15lbs less?? Also like was stated above only 17 lbs in 7 years isn’t really something to be proud of.

And you said at 18 you benched 300, well isn’t that what you said you still do now? So no improvement over 5 years, ok.

Also like others im curious about your squat and dead numbers.[/quote]

I dont squat and i recently deadlifted 525 lbs. As for the 300, back then I could only do it once. When I last did it, it was for 9 or 10 I think.[/quote]

Dem Hoes in your avatar are busted. Face ain’t pretty and titties be on the floor. You could of never played football in the NFL or college because you didn’t have the balls to play in High School. Curtis Martin, who Im sure you have no clue who the fuck he is, didn’t play until his senior year of high school.

Your whole T-Nation persona is bullshit. Your whole life has been an excuse thus far and you smoke black and milds. Of course you do. I want to see dem DB 130lbs touch that chest and go up until your elbows lock out. I want to see you pull 525. Why don’t you squat? Let me guess it hurts your back. Another excuse. You a goofy. Peace.

One of da hoes in his avatar is Skyy Black; she’s getting fatter by da year. Check her appearance on da Maury Show on Youtube. She was thin. I don’t know why da porn world has no standards and regulations concerning how much weight a model packs on.

A couple days ago I went to the gym…and inclined pressed a pair of 130s, thats 260 total for all you math fails out there, for 8 clean reps. I stepped on the scale before my workout to check my weight, and it said 177 pounds. And all I ate that day was two snackers from KFC.

When I get a camera Im going to have someone video tape me doing it and put it on youtube. Im so proud of myself.[/quote]

Apparently you’re a grammar fail out. It happens.

Congrats on the record. That’s an awesome PR.

I blame the free buffets. Far too much fried chicken for a girl to resist - she has obviously eaten more than her fair share of it. Her relative strength must be shot to hell.

No matter what you say, you are very jealous. Why idont know. If you wasnt you wouldnt have invested so much time and energy trying to disprove me. Look at my pics and how im built- at 177 pounds. Yet I dont do any of the crap you see in bodybuilding magazines, but you probably do to the fullest and still cant get like me. My look is just a by product of my strength.

If I posted pics and was just bone skinny or a fat slob and made the same claim, you wouldve just called me a troll or whatever and left it alone. But the fact that you keep going on and on means that even if you somewhat doubt me, you probably believe me some, but you WANT me to be wrong because when I get around to posting youre just going to be even more jealous.

This one is dedicated to you, Clip. Enjoy!

My adopted grandmother lived to be 108.She was born in 1887 and died in 1995. She didnt exercise or eat right. She ate her share of fried chicken and porkchops and really didnt do any exercise at all, but lived almost 110 years. Some people are built for certain things. [/quote]

So now you’ve inherited favorable genetics from your adopted grandmother? I’d give you a 10/10 but marks were deducted for failing to include the mandatory number of typos and for unnecessary repetition (you were too eager to make sure we didn’t miss any bullshit). Otherwise, it’s pure textbook trolling. 7/10.[/quote]

The parallel I was drawing is that doctors say to live long you must exercise and eat right yet she did none of this and outlived lots of people who do exercise and eat right because she had good genes. I remember hearing that her father, who was born a slave, lived to be 116.

So you read in bodybuilding books that you have to eat specific foods and eat them a certain time a day and a whole other litany of things to get bigger and stronger. But there are people like me who just may not have to follow those rules and still get the results. Read about somoatypes which I cam across on the internet. There are 3 classes of people:

mesomorphs, endomorphs, and ectomorphs. Most people are a mixture of 2 of the 3. I am an ectomorph and mesomorph mix. I have long arms and am very lean whic makes me a ectomorph. I am a mesomorph because I gain muscle and strength easy.

Mesomorphs are usually average size for their height but their body size is made up more of muscle and they are usually stronger pound for pound. I have a medium sized frame. I can probably make it to about 210-215 if I ate like a bodybuilder, but honestly I wouldnt want to be any bigger than that. I do not wish to be a pro bodybuilder.[/quote]

Clip, you weigh 170 pounds. How are you drawing the conclusion that you gain muscle easily? If your numbers are legit, you have an above average ability to gain strength. However, you do not have the same ability to gain muscle or you would not be 170 pounds…get me?

You need to take a break from this “superior genetics” argument of yours. I was a strong kid, I put up 350 on bench at 17 years old and was 260 with abs before I turned 19. You don’t see me starting threads and then saying “sorry guys, my genetics are just better, tough luck…stop being jealous”. It’s gets old man.[/quote]

People are jealous otherwise they wouldnt react the way they do. Dont blame me blame them.

I can’t confirm his numbers, but Bruce Lee did a lot of supplemental work on strengthening his bones and connective tissue (I recall he used a lot of isometrics), so that aspect of his training could’ve pushed up his poundages. [/quote]
Alright, thank you for the answer.[/quote]

You’re welcome, Silky. As I said, I can’t confirm that Lee could press 300Ibs. Chinese Shaolin monks have demonstrated incredible feats of of strength and durability for centuries. Many of these feats have been explained away as nothing more than parlor tricks - pretty much the equivalent of modern day illusionists- and many of these same tricks were part of Bruce Lee’s reportoire. However, these “miracles” usually require years of intensive training and conditioning.

This links in with some early strongman acts, which were also not as impressive as they first appeared: audiences were amazed by strongmen smashing rocks with their bare hands (in reality they were breaking porous limestone, which was far easier to break than normal rock).

Strongmen also wowed onlookers by snapping a chain fastened around their chest by muscle flexion alone (all that was required to make this trick a success was a suitably weak and tight-fitting chain… well-practised chest expansion would do the rest).

I’ve seen some downright absurd feats of strength relative to bodyweight among lightweight powerlifters. I recall one 180lbs kid pulling 660lbs raw and 705lbs with gear and just failing to lockout 750lbs and I think he was still a teenager when he did that.

So yes, I know that it’s possible to put up big numbers at a light bodyweight, but until I see evidence I treat it with sceptism. Don’t brag unless you can back it up, in other words, put up or shut up.

89

you aint pressin 130’s mayne get da fuck outta here

90

e-stats are very important.

91

I have no problem believing your stats until you say you can’t get a video. Every gym I’ve ever been in everybdoy wants to be associated with the person thats super strong or has an incredible lift. Are you that much of an asshole that none of the people in the gym have a camera phone that could send a video of you doing 130’s?

I’m pretty sure that those “300 3x8 on bench” numbers are bogus. Joe Lewis (who was Bruce’s private student, friend, and prize student, who I’ve had the good fortune to train with) has never once mentioned Lee performing this feat (and Joe’s a huge strength and conditioning fanatic, so if he had I think Joe would have mentioned it). He’s mentioned some other pretty impressive feats of strength, but never this one.

I’ll ask him next time I get the chance to train with him to either confirm or deny those numbers though, just to be sure.

Keep in mind that wikipedia can be edited/imputed into by any one. There really are no checks and balances to make sure the information is authentic.

That is awesome Brother, setting new standards make you a happy Man.

You’ve trained with Joe Lewis? Hah, I’ll admit to a slight bit of envy, the man’s a living legend.

Although I don’t doubt that Bruce Lee was exceptionally powerful for his size, I wouldn’t be at all surprised if his lifts were exagerrated. You only have to look at the many conspiracy theories surrounding his death to know that the man is sometimes indistinguishable from the myth.

[/quote] I agree with Matsa - that’s an awesome opportunity! Joe Lewis is one of the greats; I read years ago that he received his 1st dan from the Japanese within a year. That was almost unheard of at the time - even for the Japanese.

Yes, Wikipedia is a very dubious source of info. It’s OK for giving some context to a point, but not as a means of providing concrete proof. The only site I consider less reliable is Yahoo Answers :wink:

The OP’s posting style is a little TOO different from headhunter’s, thats what stands out at first sight.

A little too difefrent :slight_smile:

If that was intentional, nice work HH :slight_smile:
I suppose the “old white man using beat-up obese sistas as an avatar to draw attention towards and poke fun at the burgeoning incidence of obesity in african-american females” motif has something to do with your past on PWI.
