Jelloman4571647545499 Posted August 7, 2007 Report Share Posted August 7, 2007 He's well over 6' tall with long arms. He has a six pack, and most likely a lot lower body fat % than you. His ROM is that short because of immaculate form. Thanks for playing lil fella, but, you failed miserably. so could he stop a bullet with his chest?

Guest Hal Posted August 7, 2007 Report Share Posted August 7, 2007 Halbert, do you compete? Where do you train? Not anymore. I did compete APF, SLP, AAPF, etc... I trained in my basement and at a high school gym where I coached powerlifting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hal Posted August 7, 2007 Report Share Posted August 7, 2007 What do you weigh and what are you pushing... My usual competition weight is 181. My usual raw bench is anywhere around 405-450 depending on placement in my training cycle. I don't compete in sanctioned meets raw. My shirted bench is 550. I haven't trained in a while, so I would need about 1.5-2 months to back up those numbers. There was a pic or vid around here a while back of me doing something like 600lb board presses.

At the age I was competing I was the strongest drug free teen in my weight class. Now that I'm getting older, and no longer training for max effort, I'm nothing more than above average.

coltboostin Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 There is a guy in my team that competes @ 164, and tossed up 410 at the last lift. He looks like a mini triple H with his pony tail. He is about 5' 4". All natural. Being short is not advantageous, but having SHORT ARMS is. I am not blessed in this area with my ape arms.

ORourke Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 *Serious question* Isn't it bad to arch your back way above the bench like that? I've been told that you could severly injure yourself benching like that, but obviously those guys weren't benching half a freaking ton...

Furthermore- at competitions (at least up here) your but has to stay on the bench for the entire lift, or your lift is disqualified.

Tell me that when you 50+. I will gladly push you around in a wheelchair. It may not be THAT bad, but its nothing I would recommend to do in your daily workout.

Amy Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 When I had a 98 at a event this year (Arnold Classic party) there were some HUGE ass people there.. wow! Anyone who can lift that much is amazing my book! WOW! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a pic or vid around here a while back of me doing something like 600lb board presses. wow. i never quite made it to 405. got to 390, when i weighed 235lbs, but i can't afford to get hurt at all, so 315's the highest i go now. for someone at 180lbs, that weight is insane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam1647545489 Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 I lift alot of weight everytime I take a piss... Seriously though, I never really understood these guys. I mean it is amazing what they can push up but I would rather be a guy that doesnt lift that much but has perfect form and alot leaner/more ripped look.

Its good to have goals. BTW-when will I be in my "prime", and why dont you just get to that point now? No need waisting time right? Ok, should I have my dad call you now or later? Arching your back like that won't hurt you. It takes a long time to even be able to do it. Later is fine. Im working in the garage right now.

No need waisting time right? Later is fine. Im working in the garage right now. you are already probably past your prime i have been arching my back like that for about 16 years since i have been benching. also have hit 405 in the gym two different times raw at a 175lb bw, so im pretty sure arching your back when you bench wont hurt you.

Again-IMO its not worth the chance of issues down the line. While I am 60+, retired, and loving life, you "may" be going back to the hospital to see what surgery they can do to help with your deteriorated discs. I will stick to benching flat back, thanks.
