Seems like he’s always been a pretty cool, no bullshit guy. Interesting to note though, in the pic above from his contest last year where he came in 2nd, he doesn’t necessarily have a gigantic chest for having been a 600+ pound bencher in the '90s. Just something to think about, folks… training specificity.[/quote]
Lol that vid was awesome. Excuse my ignorance, but what do you mean about training specificity as it relates to his chest being not as large as you would expect given his past? (maybe he was a tricep bencher cuz his arms are gargantuan lol)

Just that he trained like a powerlifter for decades and became a top-level bench presser, but even though he was one of the best at the “king of chest exercises” (in the bodybuilder’s world), he didn’t develop a jaw-dropping chest.
Contrast that to someone like Johnnie Jackson who, I believe, benched 600 or near it in addition to “training like a bodybuilder”, and he has a much more fully-developed chest. Just making a comment on ‘know why you’re training and don’t expect XYZ result if you’re actually training for ABC.’

I think it is pretty common form for powerlifters to have tricep dominant pressing techniques. Hence, the giant triceps and average chest in relation.
