I wouldn’t worry about it. Anyone who has been around here more than 5 mins, pays attention, and has half a brain knows who is legit around here, and who is making themselves feel better by speaking on the internet.

Shit I wish I had my head screwed on half as tight at your age, as well as a few of the other younger guys around here.

This summer I am looking to once again break past the 200 lb mark, only this time do it while maintaining a respectable level of leanness. I am currently sitting at 192 and around 10% bodyfat (I have used calipers in the past but I have a hard time believing that I am as lean as they say I am due to some FFB issues). I am also hoping to decrease the size of my waist and tighten things up around the midsection by incorporating more work for the inner obliques and transverse abdominis.

As far as lifts go, I am well on my way to hitting the following markers:

Flat bench: 225 x 5x5
Chin-ups: BW+45 x 5x5
Back squat: 285 x 5x5
Deadlift: 365 x 5x5, 495x1

I am also well on my way to rowing 150 lb dumbbells for 5x5 with strict form, which while not exactly a major lift, has always been something I like to keep track of.

Well I can deffinately account for WS4JB, Bug and Way because if you post most of you workouts everyday in the BOI thread and make up fake lifts you’d have to be mentally insane, and I don’t think any of those guys are. Plus Way has posted pics and he is a Beast of a 20 year old.

Now I’ve posted vids before of me benching over 300 pounds at 17 years old. I’m 18 now going to be 19 in a month, and I deffinately don’t need to prove anything to anyone because I have proven to myself what I can do and my youtube channel is all I need if questions are raised. My lifts have been consistently going up for the past six months and I think a 405 pound bench is very doable in the next few months, God Willing my shoulder heals, which I have much faith it will.

Now if you weren’t talking about any of those guys I don’t blame you for questiong peoples claims.

This thread was made to view goals and if people want to lie they’re only fucking themselves over.

nah man you’re proof of progress, i have a lot of respect for your dedication man, 18 inch arms is something to DEF be proud of.

I just think there are a lot of skinny dweebs on here who claim to do some crazy shit, when in reality, they take the info (the good info) on this site and forum for granted.

And as for Way, Bug, and W, they are all proof of hard work and dedication as well. Trust but Verified.

Don’t come in here and crap on peoples goals.

Good luck this summer, must be a pain in the ass lifting with the leverages you get at 6"4. Lifting is pretty much the only thing that makes me happy I’m 5"10-5"11.

How’s the squat/dead coming tall man ?[/quote]

It sucks man, like I mentioned above, I have a lot of respect for you, and I definitely know I can learn a thing or 2 from you. I’m not crapping on peoples goals, just crapping on what is already crap.

As for the Lifts,

I did back tonight and I got 365 up for 3 reps on my final set, feeling like my back was going to snap in half.

Yesterday was chest day, and i successfully did 3x5 with 225 lbs, a new PR for me

And I have yet to squat this week, but I 1RM’ed at 365 the week beforehand.

Good job man, gotta fight for every lb on those lower body lifts when you’re your size. And I was just trying to keep a positive vibe in here. Let people lie, they’re just fucking themselves over.

horsepuss · June 30, 2009, 10:33pm

240 lbs, im around 232 now so I know I have a good shot.i would also like to bring up my bench and squat tremendously.

MaximusB · July 1, 2009, 2:33am

My goals are to push the limit and see how far I can take myself. After getting the green light from the doc (I had 4 surgeries last year), I plan on getting back into it hard after a long extended layoff. I need to focus on my food more than anything because that is almost always where I struggle. I can bust ass in the gym, but it does no good if you hit up a drive thru and massacre it.

You can curl 205lbs for 6 reps? Wtf? I don’t think even waylander can do that, and he’s like, 6’2", 270-something… and benching in the mid 4’s… Post a vid?

Yes I can asshole!

And as of today I’m 280!

lol jk bug, you know I love you.

edit: I’m still skeptical though, biceps is one area that I have freaky strength in, I haven’t seen anyone besides myself ever curl that much heh. But who knows?[/quote]

My buddy Billy can, I will get a video.
