Exactly how strong are you?

[Nytol2]

Me to!!! who would have ever thought Silva would beat Arlovski?

Not me! I'd have bet the fucking house on Andre if I were a gambling man.

I think Tim was lucky, if they have a 3rd, Andre will not get so sloppy.

I dont straight bar curl anymore it kills my shoulders and elbows.
I do 75lb dumbells for sets of 6-8.

I bench 405x8 at the end of my workout. Very strict reps on all my lifts. No slop. I have never went over 405 even though I can do it for 8 reps. I never really felt the need to.

Squat 495 for 8.
I never go over that either. That is enough weight to tear my muscles down to where they need to be to grow.

I am 6'1 265 now.

405 bench and 105 curls

@175 bench 315 finally last week, felt great, curls kinda weak though I only use 105 on the str8 bar 3x10

Bench 170. Rediculous really. Its not how much you bench its how much you look you bench. + My front delts are way over developed from heavy benching and they are pushed forward. Need more back work to pull the shoulders back.

I'm really really confused. In the weightlifting forum on EF, nobody trains the way you big guys train. Some of you guys don't bench at all? I don't understand I guess how you can get away with that. I've tried training like a bodybuilder, but what works for me and pushes my weight up is training in between a bodybuilder & a powerlifter. When my strength goes up, my weight goes up. I've never seen it happen any other way for me but then again I'm sure most of you big guys aren't extreme ectomorphs Maybe they are lying to me in the weightlifting forum? If anybody can send me their routine that includes not benching I'd like to look at it. At any rate..................I'm 179, 9.5%, 275 bench, 345x4 squat, 365x5 deadlift.
