Bighandsome,
why not just disbelieve?
450-500lb. deadlifts aren’t uncommon or especially remarkable for those you regularly deadlift and aren’t lightweights.
bangs, of course it isn’t, but I wonder how many people who lay claim to this or any other number are being truthful? A 500lb dl for your typical gym goer is not a small lift, but around here everyone seems to do it.
BigHand…Don’t believe 450-500lb deadlifts??? That’s really not that much. It’s funny how people who can’t do something always call bullshit about those who can.
If anyone doesn’t beleive me, videos and pictures of my lifts are posted at KevTRice.com under the Pictures and Video sections. My squat was sanctioned by three Colorado State strength coaches during our football testing. Watch the videos and critic for yourselves… my deadlift was pretty good, and my bench was touch and go with illegal form… and i don’t care. So don’t waste your words telling me how I couldn’t do that much in a meet, 'cause in a meet I couldn’t, but in the garage I can, so whatever.
Bighandsome,
518# deadlift, no AAS, no gear, no belt, no nothin’ (okay, chalk).
Not that big of a deal, really. I want at LEAST 550#.

man i’m the king of the gym on the butt blaster. not a man in the gym wants to get on there and challenge me. I see them staring at me with a look of disbelief on their faces. They are all green with envy i can tell
Well, so what if it’s bullshit? The bottom line is the guy asked, people responded. If someone doubts one of the respondee, why the fuck is the onus of proof on the poor guy? All he did was respond to some guy’s question and now he has to obtain a digital camera, wait 'til a heavy deadlift day, have some schmo take a picture of him lifting in his gym (where that sort of thing might make you look like an ass), and then figure out how to post it on the forum…only to have the challenger say, “Okay, I believe you now.” Yeah, great.
If they’re lying than fuck 'em, they know what’s what and who the hell cares? People can freely pick and choose whose advice they follow.
I couldn’t have said it any better Bangs.
At my gym there are A LOT of guys stronger than myself and I would look like a total shithead doing these lifts and getting pics to show a “non-believer”. If you don’t believe then get your ass out of that chair, off the pc, and back to the gym to practice these lifts and then MAYBE you will get to that level. MAYBE…
Wellput Bangs. I don’t care if people beleive me or not really. If someone wants proof of my lifts, they can come down here, look me up, and come to the gym with me on one of my workout days. Anyone who threw down some stats are obviously not ashamed of what they can lift, so maybe that’s why you’re seeing some good lifting numbers.
Never have done a meet so these are garage #'s.
Squat 320 (touch and go off a low box)
Bench 255
Deadlift 335
5’9", 210, 55 yrs old and only doing this for 2 yrs.
I truly admire those of you who are doing these huge numbers. Maybe someday for me too…
Oh lord, here we go again.
Nice work Major Dan. Esp. for 2 years training!
Exactly. Someone asked, and answers were given. Most of the numbers posted are absolutely meaningless since they’re not corroborated (which means “backed up”; I have to remember what forum I’m on here), so I don’t know why a lot of you really bothered posting, but that’s fine.
Josher, I was in Halifax 2 weeks ago. I’m from Nova Scotia. Nobody in N.S. can clean and jerk 290 lbs. Please tell me the club that you weight lift in. I likely know people there who can verify.
“A 500lb dl for your typical gym goer is not a small lift, but around here everyone seems to do it.”
this site isnt made up of “typical” gym goers.
P-Dog, yes it is. I have seen pictures of many people here and it is less than typical in many respects.
BigHAndsomeMAn:
ACadia University’s old football gym, which has been recently revamped with new equipment - so I guess it’s not so old anymore, but I like it. It’s on the bottom floor near the rink.
I’m “Josher’s” twin brother so I can verify that he clean and jerked 290. We lift at Acadia University. By the way we don’t compete at anything, just like to lift. Last year I saw a guy here hang clean 315 for a single, so there’s a few of us that can.
Jerome could verify that for you, since he’s my training partner. I do have other witnesses, but I don’t think they frequent this site.
Shit!,, the internet sure does produce some BIG lifters. Wow.
:-))
