Was that 200lb per hand? Or 200 total?

Reason I ask is I know a lot of people who press more then 200lbs...shit I can almost bench 200 and I'm a wuss(using a normal bar though). But if it's 400lbs then that was fucking impressive.

Pils its 200 a hand.. It wouldn't be a big deal if it was 200 total.

Ebumar · Post by **Ebumar** » October 6, 2003, 3:50 pm

That's amazing. I can throw up 110's, but 200, shit. That's freaking crazy.

The Winsterol/Deca-durabolin coctail makes him vary strong, but makes the penix vary small. Plus he'll have bitch tits 5 years after he goes off the juice.

Grats 400, tho!

LOL! PILS! You the man!

Did you watch the movie heh.

200lb total would be impressive....in Kindergarten!

Ebumar · Post by **Ebumar** » October 6, 2003, 5:53 pm

Benching, 200 is easy. The dumbell press is a lot harder because of how you have to balance the weight and how it has to be lifted. I can probably get up like 270 on the straight bar, no incline/decline. My normal reps for dumbell press is 70's though. I've maxed at 110, but could probably go higher. 200 is simply amazing, he has to be on something.

Yeah that's what I was thinking but the link
http://www.irongame.com//videos/RonnieC ... 12reps.mpg

See it says 200lb...

But I saw the dude and he was huge and those weights were pretty big...so I had to ask.

I don't mess with free weights. I think it would be a bad idea when you factor in my spinal injuries...so I have very little to compare what I saw in the movie with.

I wanna know how many pounds of steroids he's taken... I bet it's more than 400.

Ronnie Coleman is Mr. Olympia. He is probably tested for steroids pretty regularly.

Asheran Mojomaster · Post by **Asheran Mojomaster** » October 7, 2003, 12:10 am

Omg thats nothing!!! I can do 400...with my legs...haha. Really thats amazing, I am so freaking weak in my upper body that I cant see how anyone does shit like that. I can only bench like 140 and I can prolly do 60 or so with the dumbells. (BTW, before you laugh, 6 months ago I could only bench 70 or so and could only do 30 or less with the dumbells, prolly less, I'm making progress!!)

BeatSoggybiscuit · Post by **BeatSoggybiscuit** » October 7, 2003, 1:04 am

WOW, that is intense!

I've been working out pretty regularly for a while now, when I max out I can bench like 320 on a bar, I can't imagine doing 2 150's, let alone 2x 200's, thats just fuckin nutty

Elidain · Post by **Elidain** » October 7, 2003, 5:04 am

That is impressive I started lifting again in June and I'm benching 130 for 12 reps 3 sets. 400 pounds is a good goal. Haha

Kwonryu DragonFist · Post by **Kwonryu DragonFist** » October 7, 2003, 8:32 am

Yes, Ronnie Coleman is considered one of the strongest bodybuilders out there (on the Olympia scene that is).

And Kyokan is correct! He is tested regularly for jungle-juice.
That is true, but that only says so much hehe.

Skip LaCour also states that he is natural hehe.

Nonetheless, Ronnie is one strong m*thaf*cka!

If you are doing 3 sets, 12 reps, all at the same weight, then you are wasting your time. Intensity is the key. Basically you should not be doing more than 3-4 sets and each set's weight should be chosen so that by the time you do your last rep, you are at complete muscle failure.

FYI, those chumps who hit the gym 5-6 days a week, lifting a couple hours each day are wasting their time and will never make gains unless they are hitting the juice. The dumbest motherfuckers are the ones who pump out 8-10 sets at a certain lift, then hit another lift which is basically in the same muscle group and pump out another 8-10 sets (ie bench, then incline). Go read High Intesity Training by Mike Mentzer and John Little for more details on why these guys are wasting their time.

I only lift weights for twice a week for maybe 45 minutes and have increased my maxs by an average of 15% in the month or so that I've adjusted my routine.

Kwonryu DragonFist · Post by **Kwonryu DragonFist** » October 7, 2003, 10:31 am

Mentzer was the King!

Great Knowledge and it sure helped Dorian!

Mentzer VS Arnold

Who should have really won?

Was Arnold the "right" Winner?

Pilsburry · Post by **Pilsburry** » October 7, 2003, 10:52 am

I do 3 sets...150x8, 165x6, 180x4 on a good day (that's on the bench machine, not dumbells or even a real bar, adjustments made for wobble would fuck me up).

I'm down to a body weight of 149 lbs @ 5'10"(from 190 in feb when I quit EQ). My goal was to take off as much fat as possible before bulking up. I'm just now (like 2 weeks ago) starting to really concentrate on lifting and taking in the calorie intake to grow....but it's like 50/50 because I still don't have a 6-pack or even a 4-pack. You would be suprised how much fat you can store on you without looking fat, I thought I had 15-20lbs max lol.

I just usually don't bench or curl max amts because of my neck injury (2 crushed disks and the vertebre are all out of whack) and a slight lower back issue that I have not had looked at. I'm supossed to go to physical therapy 3x a week for the rest of my life on the neck hehe....I went once like...8 yrs ago. They also mentioned surgery to fuse my spine.

I do a lot better on legs and such that don't have a chance of pulling forward on my shoulder area.

I think I'll be happy with like 10lbs more of mucle on me and maybe 2% less body fat. Possibly benching 220 and curling 110..at 155-165 lbs body weight. In otherwords tone as hell...but not big. Hoping to hit this goal by May heh.

At that point I'll slow down on weights/cardio and maybe take martial arts back up if it will fit my schedule (I might be getting a night job).

BeatSoggybiscuit · Post by **BeatSoggybiscuit** » October 7, 2003, 7:03 pm

Thats a misleading pic - Arnold is definitely not flexing. If you've seen the movie they made about him and the other "muscle beach" bodybuilders and the competition, I think its Pumped Up or something cheesy like that, you can definitely see the difference between that and when he's seriously flexing. Dude was MASSIVE.

Kelgar · Post by **Kelgar** » October 7, 2003, 9:31 pm

Mentzer was the only man to ever recieve a perfect score by all judges when he won Mr. Olympia his only time.

Elidain · Post by **Elidain** » October 8, 2003, 1:08 am

On the topic of Lifting and working out. I went from 290pounds 2 years ago to 215pounds this june before I started lifting. I was walking and and eating OMGIAMRETARDEDCAUSEALOTISTWOWORDS less.
Now the time comes where I want to drop the rest of the fat from my stomach area and get that wonderful V shape. Any type of workouts I should concentrate on and such. I can't seem the extra fat from the stomach area. Also I have done lots of crunches.

Glad you said that, I am gonna have to try to change the way I work out soon I think and maybe if I read those things it will help me some. I know the owner of the gym I go to pretty well and gonna try to get him to help me out and show me what I am doing wrong. He's like 55 and can still bench over 300 and has like maybe 4 or 5% body fat at the most (not as impressive as some people, but very good).

I'm not an expert but do you do side crunches as well? Or just the ones where you come straight up? That helped me a little.

But the maint hing is you can't really selectively lose weight in your belly. It comes off where ever it feels like.

I do 300 crunches normal and 100 on my right and 100 on the left. (500 total) 2-4x a week. I also use the crunch machine with the weights set to 100lbs+..and at 149lbs you would think I would show atleast a 4 pack....but I don't. Because I still got my last 5 lbs or so sits right on top of them.

I figure, fuck it, I'm just going to call it my reserve tank.

Work on your lats, traps, and delts. When you get the muscle, then work on losing the fat. Doing cardio work after your weight routine bumps your fat/carb burning ratio to 75/25, but of course will minimize gains. Do this after you've reached your plateau.

Draaxx · Post by **Draaxx** » October 9, 2003, 1:53 am

how would one get their chest in better shape without access to a gym? Ive got 2 10lb weights and 2 5lb weights (weeee i have to do insane #'s of reps to feel anything) Im happy with my arms/back but its harder to make your pecks more muscular or less fatteh without a bench machine or something.... non-lazy EQ-retired bastards.... explain!

Kilmoll the Sexy · Post by **Kilmoll the Sexy** » October 9, 2003, 12:25 pm

If you just want some better pecs and don't have a machine, get some dumbells sets and find something you can use to mimic an incline bench. Do presses with the dumbells at a 45' incline and use lower weight dumbells to do butterfly presses. There was a time when I had nothing to use but some big ass pillows that I could lay back on to use for incline....but you can always find something if you use some imagination.

There's this crazy exercise they do in the Army and shit called "teh pushups."

You lie face down, with your palms on the floor and elbows a little below parallel to the shoulder. Then you push your bird-chest off the ground and begin exercising. Extend your arms fully, then go back down, but don't let your head, stomach or chest hit the floor until you're done.

In the movies they yell stuff like "One two three four! I love teh marine corps!" to enhance the burn.

Deward · Post by **Deward** » October 9, 2003, 12:52 pm

Don't forget about good old pushups. I guarantee that if you do 40-50 pushups every night before you go to bed you will see results in less than two weeks for those of you who never work out. I try and do pushups every night right after I brush my teeth. You can also do diamond, inclined(feet on a chair), and wide arm pushups to really work different muscles. The main thing is to do them properly. Your body has to be straight and rigid and you need to drop your shoulders lower than your elbows.

This of course does nothing for your gut though. You need to get aerobic to burn that off. I have found that if I pump the pushups really fast it will get your heart rate up nicely and tire you out a little before hitting the pillow.
