Real weight and WWW weight

[sidney61199]

I'm going to get flamed all to hell on this post. I'm new here and don't want to start alot of crap but I find that some info on here is such b.s. it helps no one at all except for making the one posting it feel good about them self. I'm not here to make friends and I won't be posting here much at all in the future but I just wanted to bring some of the ego's back to earth. Here are the results from some of the lifts at the Arnold Classic from this year. If some people on here can really do what they say they need to get there ass's signed up and start competing becasue what some people say they can do would blow the winners away at a national competion such as the Arnold Classic. So either start posting real weight amounts or start competing cause if some one does some research on the net they'll see that some people on here are full of shit.

I assume we're reading different forums because I don't see anyone claiming 380kg benches here.

But check the PL forum, some of the people there actually competed in those contests.

I wonder if he's confusing lbs with kgs?

Are the numbers for the individual lifts in kilos or lbs?

sidney61199,
I don't see anyone that keeps a journal here posting high numbers lying about their lifts. Most of them post vids etc.

I sense that you are a little jealous of some people on here that are seriously strong. So instead of congratulating them and giving them props for all their hard work, you try and discredit them... lame.

Here's a online coversion calculator for you http://www.onlineconversion.com/weight_common.htm
both charts are in pounds except where noted. For example the first chart the 148lbs woman did not bench 391lbs so you can safely assume everything in that row is in lbs. The second chart the 275lb guy did not squat 1118lbs so you can assume everthing in that row is in pounds also.

So now that who is confused is cleared up here is the post that got under my skin the most. http://www.elitefitness.com/forum/showthread.php?t=473515&page=1 go down through the pages and check the weight people say they lift. No offense to anyone but the first two replies alone would have won the whole thing in the second chart under the heavy weight division. Also they would have won it hands down while making the others look just plain stupid. I think we all should check and revize our weights we are listing. Sorry for the pissy adititude just can't belive what some are listing for weight lifted and then trying to tell me I got KG and Lbs mixed up.

I ahve no reason to doubt either of the fist 2 people to post in that thread.

The first person Guinness5.0 has posted vids of him squatting 315 for 20 reps! Please try and tell me that dude is not a strong ass MOFO.

If you don't want to believe there are other people in this world that are strong, other then the people you see on TV that's fine. But don't come on here calling BS on people you know nothing about.

Like I said, you sound Jealous.

I was just waiting for this idiot to something flame-able...

Thank GOD you won't be posting here anymore. You won't be missed. Your posts are all stream-of-conciousness, useless drivel anyway. Calling people out in such a roundabout way as you have in this thread is pretty lame. BUST SOMEONE OUT OR SHUT THE FUCK UP! Who do you think is lying?! Give a name or go away.

Obviously you're referring to me in there. Well guess what genius - the weights in the Arnold link are in KILOS!! That's 2.2 pounds per kilo. So do the math - no one here is claiming to be even close to those numbers

Better yet, just go away.

You did get them confused. There really are 148lb women lifting way more than you. Sucks huh?

If this is the "WPO World Record Bench Bash" then I doubt they'd feature 308 lb dudes with a measly 377 lb bench.

Sydney - look at the last column, you fucking idiot. It's the total in POUNDS. Now add up the individual lifts as listed for any of the competitors. Take that number, multiply it by 2.2, and you'll have a number that matches the total in pounds.

You're so ignorant about lifting that you don't even realize that the numbers listed in the post you called us out on are perfectly reasonable for intermediate/advanced trainees. Hell, Tweakle has VIDS of himself DL'ling 700+ (pounds, that is), among various other feats, B fold's got plenty of training vids, I have a couple (incluiding the aforementioned 20-repper, though it was 325, not 315 ).

REALLY fucking stupid to call people liars without a shred of reason or proof - I hope for your sake you're not this dumb in 'real life'.
