Refrigerator Perry only 465?

 

[min0 lee]

He was never really in great shape, he was just a big guy.

 

[Doublebase]

I don't believe Shaqs.

 

[biggfly]

JaMarcus Russell at 335?? I am embarrassed for him..thats ridiculous for a guy of his size, and playing pro ball...he is getting beat by NBA guys and actors...

 

[AKIRA]

I don't believe Shaqs.

Agreed.

I also have a hard time believing Will Smiths.

 

[Ben dur]

will smith in "I am legend" looked pretty stout

and he is a little older now than he was 10 years ago in I robot



on top of that he is black




its possible IMHO

 

[P-funk]

I guess you think he's got a big sausage in his pants too?...

Like me?

 

[biggfly]

Brady Quinn...true
Vernon Davis...true
Matt Leinart...prob true
the rest seem skewed except the lower ones(i.e Reggie Bush, etc.)

Why would he be separated from this thread?

 

[Ben dur]

just seems a little out of character

"god wants to know how much you bench"

 

[min0 lee]

True, I never see him wander off to other threads....that may not be a bad idea.

 

[Ben dur]

woot woot

i guess that puts me about with the Prez

i perfer DB's though

85's x 8

 

[min0 lee]

"god wants to know how much you bench"

[Ben dur]

You're pressing 85lb DB's x 8 and only max 205?

 

[min0 lee]

Damn...I had so many questions to ask.


Min0---250-275---free weights

Lee---90--130--machines

 

[Ben dur]

You're pressing 85lb DB's x 8 and only max 205?

i work out by myself so
i have no spot 95% of the time

im unacclimated to the bar

 

[Ben dur]

ive never pinned myself...

but i would hate to attempt a PR and fail with no spot

 

[min0 lee]

Same here, just take step by step.

 

[Ben dur]

btw i just threw a few numbers in a few different 1rep max calculators

and 170x8 shows about 210x1 on most

we are talking about DB's versus Barbell

but thats what i work out with, barbell is abnormal for me
so the numbers reflect


is this unusual? should i make adjustments?

 

[Ben dur]

btw there is no way in hell i could even 1rep max 100lb dbs

Most of those are probably bullshit.

700 lb bench press with that one guy? Give me a break.

With three guys holding the bar.

Doesn't even show the whole lift.
