Exactly how strong are you?

[Nytol2]

that's really strong bro! Good to see dynamic results!

Thanks.

Hoping to get a nice carry over when I try a bench shirt, UK record for 100kg class is about 260kg (573lbs), so I have a long way to go, but I do not feel it is beyond me (never used a shirt before).

I think the deadlift is somewhere around 350kg (771), not sure about that, but I shall keep striving towards it .

bench max is 310..never maxed out on curls but ive done 125 straightbar for reps..

I press out 285 for 10 reps or so. I haven't maxed out in over a year. Preacher curls have me about 120 for reps. I rep out DB curls at 65.

this has been my experience...before i started with any gear, i used to train like a maniac. i was weighing about 200lbs at 5'11''. one day i was frustrated with the weight i was doing so i decided to start to really hit the heavyweights. it was a "mind over matter" kind of moment. i soon began benching close to 400lbs, curling 170lbs, incline flies of 120 lbs (with good form belive it or not). but i wasn't looking like a guy who could do those weights or more importantly, like a guy that spent that much time in the gym. that's when i started with the aas. now, i get such crazy pumps that i don't need to do anywhere near that weight, but i look a million times better. i decided that i couldn't keep up doing that crazy training anyways. i didn't start gear until mid 30's. i felt my body was ready for the next level. the ego takes a hit cause i don't lift as much but i look fantastic. guess that's the tradeoff.

How much is your bench press & arm curls? I'm 275 in the bench press department and can curl 60 pounds.

Good for you bro but I gotta see a video of 120lb fly's with good form.

Yes it was 300kg, I am in the UK, I converted for our American friends, .

I plan on getting some equipment and trying competition powerlifting, the last show I went to watch, I could have won the bench by 30kg without a shirt, so I think I could do well (the deadlift too I think).

I do not have the genetics to be a bodybuilder, my frame is too light, but I have just over 100kg of decent muscle on it, so I am now interested in going after some records in a year or so .

My partner Jan got me few days ago, he did 300kilos(662lbs) for 6reps! fucking amazing... You probably know him, he is a guy who won class2 mr.Universe in UK last year.

Good for you bro but I gotta see a video of 120lb fly's with good form.

I use 50kg (110lbs) DB's for flyes on a high incline with perfect form, only thing that really hits my upper chest well, I treat them the same as everything else, try and add a rep, or a little bit of weight every week or two, it all soon adds up.

Making big jumps is the biggest mistake I see most people make, they go from 2 plates to 3 plates, and never use the smal 2lb disks, that is where the secret lies, small amounts of progress on a regular basis.

300kg for 6!!! That is amazing, what weight was he when he did this?
