Again, talking regular bodybuilding lifts...squat, deads, presses and variations of each, and bodyfat being equal, Ronnie would kill everyone, anywhere, anytime. Lets see, if Ronnie could deadlift 805 for 2 five weeks out of a show with no supersuit or special equipment or powerlifting technique AND squat over 800 for reps four weeks from a show in the same manner, on could only imagine what he could do if he let his bodyfat hit 12-14%, practiced lifting primarily for strength, did not exhaust himself with many sets of reps before, wore a supersuit, etc. What, maybe a 1300 lb squat, 1100 lb deadlift, and bench press with 300 lbs dumbells if they made them....hmmmmmmmm.

Could he literally press a ton?

Lenny: Pfft, forget it, Homer. While it has been established that eggs contain cholesterol, it has not yet been proven conclusively that they actually raise the level of serum cholesterol in the human
blood stream.

Well, I regularly use over 1000 lbs as part of my workout weights so I'm quite sure that there are many pros that can double that for a rep or two.

Just curious...does he use complete range of motion, b/c leg press is one of the most "abused" exercises around. People always say..."yeah, I put on 10, 12, 15 plates a side for 10 reps!" Then you watch them and they come down 3 inches. I make sure my knees are BURIED in my chest on ech rep and doing it any other way is a partial in my book. Some guys that claim a 1000-1500 lb leg press often will have trouble with half that in full range!

I dont know, but I will see how much the video is. I also put my knees into my chest, but I have been liking the hack squat machine lately. I know what you mean though as I see plenty of people pile on more weight and hardly get any motion out of it, I am not assuming he is a jackass like that but I guess I have to find out. When you watch Ronnies video, while he is wicked strong, some of his lifts are very sloppy/short range of motion.

Not his ass to the floor 600 lb front squats...or his 200 lbs dumbell presses...or his 500 lb bent rows.

But there is a difference, as I'm sure you would agree, between cheating to simply say you can move more weight, and cheating b/c through years of experience you find a certain "groove" for an exercise that works best for you.

I know that if someone were to watch ME train that they would see some exercises done "textbook" and others that would look like "cheating" rather than what is really "my groove."

Watching him row is crazy, but his dumbell presses seemed a bit off to me, mostly his dumbell laterals though. I'm not putting him down, as far as strength goes he is nuts, again I would site reference to the rows like there were donuts on the end of the bar.

I agree, the more time I spend with movements I am feeling more natural in performing them. I seem to go low on the chest with presses compared to alot of people, no pain here so I'm happy with it.

If you mean the Zen-master 4th degree black belt, he seems like a cool guy to me. Maybe you are the pussy, jealous? Or if he is a pussy I can't imagine what you must be.

Look at those arms, he is huge.
