Bodybuilding in itself is kind of homosexual. We have to come to those terms at some point in our lives. At least the competition portion of it.

I'll see guys posing in the mirror at the gym and I think to myself, "What a queer." But then I catch myself doing the same thing.
 
Current stats: 6'8, 320 pounds, high bf% from bulking (damn cheat foods)


I dont really max in attempt to prevent injury, so here are my best current lifts...

Bench press - 315x8

Dumbell bench - 130's x 8

Curl bar curls - dont know

Hammer Curls (dumbell) - dont know, but i've done regular standing rotating DB curls at 65's x5

Straight bar curls - 135x3

You guys are all very strong... shizzzz...

I need to start trying to jack my strength up again. All these stats are intimidatingly good.
 
I am happy to say I did hit 270 for a tough 1 on seated press this past saturday. Now it is onto my goal of 275. Just the look of hte plates is awesome

standing military : 215-5 or 245-1
squat (w/ knee wraps): 505
deadlift - 545

Hey, as long as you're making progress and as long as you're happy with the progress you are making, that's all that should matter. We all start somewhere. Do you think Nick started benching 700 overnight? Personally I recently started squatting again because I've always had problems with my knees. I front squatted 235 for 8 and my knees were screaming! But they feel a lot better than they used to. So what if I don't use a lot of weight. I've been happy with my leg development over the past two months since I started hitting the legs hard like I used to. It feels great. By the way, I've noticed that lunges have really helped with my knee problems.

I'm in the same boat man. Knee surgery was a ***** but I try to use it as fuel to make me stand up and crush that weight. I just put it in my mind that I want people to see the weight I'm pushing up and when I squat down they see my scar an go "O **** HE DID THAT WEIGHT AND HAD SURGERY?"
 
Bench press: 545 lbs x 1
315 lbs x 25
225 lbs x 54

Incline press: 470 lbs x 1

Incline Dumbell bench: 160 lbs x 20

DB curls : 100 lbs x 2

Tricep pushdowns: 11th plate x 4 (on lat machine not tricep)

Deadlifts: 600 lbs x 1

Squats: 600 lbs x 1 (a$$ to heels)

Leg press: 2500 lbs x 3 (full reps)

Stiff Leg Deads: 405 lbs x 6

DB Shoulder Press: 140 lbs x 10

All my lifts are done raw - NO shirts or suits, wraps, "hands of spotters" or belts. I hate these things and they make the lifts awkward feeling (belts and wraps never put on a shirt or suit), but I did use lifting straps on the deads.

NO I DO NOT JUICE AND NEVER HAVE (ANY SHAPE, FORM OR FASHION - NO PH, PS, AAS)! However, I do bust my a$$ and lift hard and heavy with 3-4 rest days per week. I am 5'8" 245 lbs and 25 years old...been lifting since 9th grade (football).

'Preciate it! Those lifts have always sucked. I see how much other guys do and it pisses me off :twisted: I am working on them but I am by no means a powerlifter and I have never competed in a competition. However, I got interested in bodybuilding about 3-4 years ago and I am going to try to do a show in 2008.

...any pointers how to get the dead and squat up?

Thanks bruh! I am a firm believer in maxing the body's potential first before someone takes such measures but to each his own. I don't and probably will never use roids, but I do enjoy reading and studying about them and all the good and bad things that they can do - never hurts to understand. I know my competition will be pretty stiff since the majority of the bodybuilders I know juice heavily but I probably will look into doing the drug tested competitions. In thinking about this though, it's kind of weird since most of the federations I've seen only require that you be drug free for 3-7 years with no regard really to the time before but oh well.

...any info to the contrary would be very much appreciated.

You guys are a strong bunch, I know it is the internet and all, and just like I was 6 feet even in my college football program (I'm 5'10" if I'm lucky) there may be a little exageration now and again. I don't theink I am calling bull****, but if you could share a video of the 315 X 10 skullcrsusher, I think that would be awesome. I always thought I was kind of a freak on that particular movement, and can do a pretty clean 225 X 10. I have worked out with some pretty strong benchers, 500 plus, who cannot touch even 225 X 10.

Go on youtube and search "Nick Winters" :thumbsup:

You'll be presently surprised. I've trained in the same gym as Nick in the past. I can def vouch for a lot of the numbers he's saying. I may have not seen the actual lift but number that weren't too far off.
 
I've got to see 315 x 10 skullcrushers. I know Nick is an incredible lifter, but properly performed skullcrushers with those numbers would equate to a 1000+ pound RAW bench.
 
Just based on what dozens of people I've lifted with that have varying builds can skullcrush in comparison to what they can RAW bench. Not trying to dog Nick, I'm well aware that he's an incredible lifter, but just saying I'd like to see it. I'm assuming they're done with a short ROM or something.

Gotcha, I've skullcrushed 135 for a good number of reps before and was j/w the correlation because the most I've ever benched is in the high 3's. Since my number is a little less than 1/2 of Nick's then I should be able to bench between high 4's low 5's. I guess i'm not benching to my full potential :sad: lol
 
I might be wrong. He could have incredible tri strength, and lack lat strength or something. The guy I've worked out with closest to Nick's strength, could SC 225 x 6-8 and could raw bench 600. For the record, I don't think Nick is lying, I just want to see it, really I do.

I remember Nick used to complain on here that his tri's were his weakest link bench-wise. Maybe he corrected the problem, though.
 
Alexander said:
Good lord, if tri's are his weak link he must row 585 for 15:blink:

Yeah, I know. I think that 1-2 years ago so maybe he's brought his tri's up by hitting those skullcrushers hard. No idea. I haven't seen him post anything around here in a while.

so where would you guess my bench at, i do skull crushers 165x8-10, and 180x5.

Personaly i don't see why there would be any need to lie. Why do you think half the posts are BS?

click on the link to my training thread in my sig. I have a video posted up almost every training session.

Nick's got tons of vids as well.

My guess is your right on 500lbs. Damn i'm good:bb:

EDIT: ah damn...thats your goal. Mid 400's based off the skull crushers alone. Alot is dependent on technique and what else your utilizing.
