515 is actually my all time best same backwards so I stopped there

Damn! Im close asf. Although this lat strain probably gonna be for another 2 weeks and then I'll be cutting...so lime willing ....I will make a bid for the crown late next year lol

I applaud this. Work on chicken legs though.

I find it insane that people can squat so much. We live in the computer age, why are people so strong they can lift heavy cargo up mountains and shit?

Nice work. I'm trying to get my squat back up to 225 for reps.

The best part of it is that none of it matters where they think it does.

Current me would whoop the shit out of power lifter me.

BUT HOW DO I REDUCE MY MAN TITS THO

When I got my black belt my uncle told me he could still shoot me dead with his colt 45

Good job dude

I think clomid nolvadex and bench pressing

god i love these videos thank u so much

That is sickkkk

I'm currently at 265 pounds (120kg) for reps squatting. Have a dodgy ankle that I fucked up the ligaments in a while back. Only recently got back up to that so looking forward to moving up

Don't the spotters usually stand on the side? ONe on each side, especially with that kind of weight?

I usually see the power lifters do that. I tend to stay out of the way... Watching them lift that heavy shit makes me feel like my nutts are going to explode and end up catch a hernia. Wild.

Good shit thou.

What you cutting down too? Why wont you just body build from there/where you are?

im a little confused on the initial part....are u asking whats the point of it? or how is it possible? but thanks regardless! uve been lifting for a while if my memory is correct...whats your programming look like ?

PERSONALLY I have no allusions that training for strength and training to fight are not 2 completely separate skills........its tough tho because im interested in boxing but I don't think there is a physique that would allow for both powerlifting and boxing at an advanced skill set....and im not really interested in judo...my body is in bad enough shape from PL lol



well first off lose some weight u disgusting creature lol. nah fr fr....lose some weight....then hit cable crossovers and flys....bench press is all well and good but its not the best exercise for isolating chest (you should still bench press)

thanks my dude

thanks homie

and that's awesome man, sucks about ur ankle.....trust me I know what its like to work thru injuries haha...assuming urs is from soccer (football). 265 is nothing to sneeze at tho good job bro...lemme know if u ever want any lifting advice I GOTCHU

yeah usually in the elite powerlifting meets when they going insane weights they will have a team of spotters....one on each side at least and one behind the squatter as well

thanks for sure tho man, im at 210 now so my plan is to cut down to around 195ish reason being that I don't just start trying to build off my current physique right now is that I have lot of additional body fat that needs to go.....the whole idea of turning fat into muscle is a myth broheem...you can recomp....which is basically the real life version of that concept....losing body fat while putting on lean muscle mass......this is a lot harder to do and a lot slower than just focusing on one or the other tho ie putting on lean muscle mass or losing body fat. the most optimal way to do it is to focus on one goal at a time for a 3month period.

I will be doing a bodybuilding routine the entire time im cutting weight tho so don't think im just going to be dieting to lose weight the whole time I will be lifting with a bodybuilding routine immediately

Yea, I know the turn fat in to muscle is a bogus myth and building lean muscle mass is a very slow process but word.

How much fat are you trying to lose, tho? Shits fucking tough being that guy with ZERO percent body fat. My boy's a body builder and does all that extra shit like competes and trains and all that and his body fat percent is like 1 fucking percent and he tells me every day it's nearly impossible trying to sustain that shit.

What I don't get is how much he fucking eats. Like the dude takes 20 shits a day because he's consuming so much throughout the day and shit...

Fuck, I was at 225 - the heaviest I have EVER BEEN and I"m 6'. I've dropped down to 205 . MY goal is 185 and lean/tone the fuck out. Not trying to go over board, just trying to tone up like I used too be. Ever since the birth of my 2nd child man I've fucking slacked off, lost my abs. Still got the immaculate roman warrior chiseled chest and arms but the abs are wayyyyy gone LOL. Good shit tho. I know we've had this conversation before but what's good with competing? You going to do it or nah? A lot of money in that shit bro and exposure... Especially if you win shit, I know Olympia magazine gave my mans a contract and he makes a good chunk of change off of modeling for their magazine and shit... Getting paid for doing what you love and have a passion for is awesome.

yea competing in physique competitions is hard......I have no interest in it personally because as he said...maintaining body fat percentage under 5% is a nightmare. I only want to get down to about 10% ..at 10% my abs will be visible and i can maintain it easily without killing myself dieting. one of my boys competes in physique and he just does roids so he can be that lean but he still trains like an insane person and eats like a truck...personally none of that is appealing to me lol. though I do eat like a truck...currently eating 3500cals a day between 6meals.

an yea as far as abs some people swear abs are made in the kitchen (basically if u get skinny enough u will have abs) but I believe that only to a degree....if u work abs u can make them thicker so they will have deeper cuts when u do shred down to visible weight

as far as competing like I said I wont ever compete in physique but I am going to be competing in a powerlifting meet in Baltimore next year

Word.

3,500 calorie diet, isn't the average 2,300 or some shit?

yea pretty much...usually on the nutritional facts labels on food they state that they are considering an average person who consumes roughly 2000 cals a day
