Looking for Sponsors for an athlete I train.
320 arm curl done at Mack's Gym in Toronto
He is the Pound for Pound World's Strongest Man,
Event was video taped and sent to Guiness Book of
Records.
My athlete has been in Ironman Magazine and
The Event was covered by the Toronto Sun Newspaper


Athlete Profile:
5'9 185 lbs, black male,
320 lb arm curl
750 lb squat
800lb deadlift
400lb bench
315+ cleans
500lb bent over row
200lb weighted dips
950lb shrugs


[email protected] Thanks Ray
 
and I strongly doubt the 800lb deadlift at 185. There are very few people that can pull 800lbs and for the most part they are 242 and up. I would really have to see it to believe it. A 750 sq at 181 would put him in the 5 I guess from last year, has he competed?? If he hasn't then who knows what he can really do. There's plenty of guys who think they can a certain wieght but most of them end up doing much less when and if they ever make it to the platform.
 
My athlete is currently training with 330lbs in the cheat arm curl and is weighing 176lbs at this time.He is currently deadlifting 800lbs and is back to training once every 14-21 days.
 
Heavy wear dont waste your time. This guy would be ranked number 3 or 4 on squats number 1 on deadlifts (all time) i may add. He is probably pulling in the power rack. Another thing is his bench is seriously low for as strong as all his other lifts are. 500 bent rows? 400 bench? Come on bro, there are real liftrs here not just kids who believe every dude claiming outragous lifts.

And 320lb arm curl? Bull shit!

But if you could prove (key word "could") these lifts i promise you , he would have all the sponsers he could ever need.
 
I second powerifterjay's opinion. No way this guy is curling twice his bodyweight. I know there are some strong SOB's on this board, but can anyone here even curl his own bodywieght? I can't, not even close.

And I also agree with Jay that these numbers do not add up. I can rep out on dips with 100lbs attached, but I cannot even get close to getting a 500 lb bent row off the floor. And who can bent row 100lbs more than they bench?

Also, this guy is 2 inches taller than me and 50 lbs lighter, and I am by no means the thickest guy around. But you are telling us someone this skinny is doing these things?

What do his arms, chest and legs measure?
 
Brian i cant believe were actually trying to see if this is real or not. But beside the outrageous curl, i would rather see an 175lber doing bent rows with 500lbs. But here is my question. Is the 500lbs on one end of a bar and the other end is jammed into soemthing? If so i could see it. Especially if this little superman is curling 320lbs (hard to write that without laughing).

What is the little pocket hurcules name? Were does he do these attempts? What titles has he won?

Ray you probably think were stupid even playing along, but were just havin fun with your fictional little superman. Hey we can refer to him as "Blackman" Instead of batman!

Ya'll calm down i aint a racist, we have a local radio celeb here name "Bubba the love sponge" and "Black man" is a monthly skit they do. Its funny as shit, but its a spin off of "batman", except with lots of ebonics. Go to Bubba the love sponge .com and see for your self.
 
PlJay... i noticed you said "pocket hercules" thats really weird, cause when i was getting my trophy for my contest my pastor said "and winner of the 132 division, our own little pocket hercules, jay nolan"

any way, you think that a 15 year old in the 148lb class with a 1000- 1100 total could get a sponsor? im hoping to have a 1000+ total in a year or so, and im wondering if i have a chance? (i doubt it)
 
That i cant answer. I got help last year with bench shirts and bench less then i do now. I called to get some shit and inzer said i aint on the list. So mine was just a friendly helpout from john inzer himself, And it helped alot. But now there arelooking over my stuff and havent recieved the word yet.

I noticed they sponser people in the spot light. You do your lift sin a well none place a few times and your in.

My lift sare questionable. there good but there are still a handfull of people that can lift what i do. I think i will have to lift a shit load then and only then you can't be denied!

One good way is to be a internet loudmouth. You ever go to different forums and see the same frekain people posting all the time? Most of em know big lifters and talk a ton of shit but have little lifts. But there sponsered. Just go to Go heavy.com and look trough the debate forum full of sponsered lifters, sponsered for there mouths not there lifts.
 
i just think it would be cool to be sponsored... then i get free gear( as of now, i own not a single peice of lifting equipment), and become well known and stuff... i wish i would've gotten started powerlifting earlier.

one day i'll become sponsored....
 
To all who doubt it,thats OK.
I say to anyone to put the money where your mouth is.
He has competed just at local events in Toronto.Nothing professional though.He has been in 3-4 issues of Ironman magazine and is awaiting to see if Guiness Book of Records acknowledges these lifts.
It was covered by the Toronto Sun newspaper and took place at Mack's Gym in Toronto.It was videotaped and also pictures in the paper.
Mack the owner of the gym has the world record for the one arm press of 300lbs over the head and presented (Karl) with the plaque stating "Unofficial World's Strongest Man"
 
The lifts are never done in a power rack,no straps,or gloves,no power suits or anything like that.No ammonia either.
He only uses CHALK.
The bent over row is done with 5plates + per side on olympic style barbell.

Come on guys you know that alot of people with long arms don't do very well on Bench presses but do extremely well with pulling movements as you can see.

All I can say is there are alot of HATERS out there.

Alot has to do with recovery as you can see and the nervous system.
 
I'd really like to see an uploaded video of this guy's lifts.

Till then, your words are empty. Reminds me of the link where a guy claims he benches 1000 pounds yet he has 3 spotters deadlifting the weight off him.

You have to prove this shit I mean a 500lb bent over row at 176 you said he'd break himself in half with that much weight and weighted dips are these parallel or bench to bench dips b/c if it's bench to bench I do that with 200lbs and I'm not even a 300lb bencher. Damn I mean as much as I'm laughin my ass off b/c this sounds so unreal I really do wanna see if this guy can perform these lifts or is he all talk???

:p Hey are you sure your adding up the weights right????:D Try using a calculator then post his real lifts.
 
WTF does 'put money where your mouth is' mean? Anyone wanna bet against me that this guy cannot hit half of the lifts he claim under standard regulations? Any takers? Didn't think so.

-Zulu
 
Look, whether this guy can do what you say or NOT, you are in the wrong place looking for sponsors. The guys on this forum are either competitive powerlifters or people who aspire to be a competitive powerlifter. We all work for a living, and none of us make a Hell of a lot of money.

One thing that many of us share in common, is a knowledge of the iron game, and the shared experience of having seen or even done some amazing feats of strength. There is a well known member of this board who benches over 600 and squats over 800, who I know for a fact has eyewitnessed many 700 plus benches. We know strength. And we know what makes sense. We are not buying. If your guy ends up being the first man under 200 lbs to win the world's strongest man contest then I will be the first in line to kiss your ass, and say that I was wrong, but until then I am a bit skeptical.

Jay, I apologize, but I feel compelled to go further into this curl issue. Svend Karlson is the current world's strongest man. In a recent article in powermag, he talked about having done a cheat curl with I believe 330 lbs. Now this was done by a man we have all seen on TV, and whom is well known for being insanely strong. And guess what, that was less than a 110% bodyweight curl. Manfred Hoeberl, a 26 inch armed, 340+ lb freak, cheat curled about the same as what you are telling us this 176 lb guy can do. Manfred was so strong, that he could squeeze a can of coke till it burst. No freakin way a guy half his size is curling that. No way.

You want to shut me up, have this guy do some of these things in an actual powerlifting meet where we can verify the results, and I will gladly retract everything I have said.

Dam Brian you do your home work bro! Sven can curl 330lbs? Holy shit! that is incredable. But considering who is doing it, i of course believe it. Your right no way in hell is a 175lber doing that. Its a kid who is writing this shit anyway. He is just talking shit. The curl and deadlift gave that away.

But If "Blackman" is really a superhero like Ray says then we will hear of him sooner or later. If he is real then i too will kiss your ass and say i am wrong as well.

Maybe powermag could cover his lifts , along with us kissing his ass! What do ya think Brian?
 
I have an old video of the Barbarian Brothers doing cheat curls with 315. Lots of face slapping going on before the lift - ha!

speaking of that, anybody at the arnold to see the beating Scot Mendelson gets before he benches? His wife is a martial artist and she cracks him with two hands before he hits the bench...good stuff. "Clears" his head he told my reporter...:)

You can only get hit so much.

One of my handlers is a NHB dude and he gets carried away with that shit. One meet he hit me so much i fuckin felt like i had a concusion before my liftoff. by deadlift time , before i went out to pull i knew it was coming so blocked it and said enough! That night were with our wives, walking the strip (Daytona) and he fuckin slapps me again (not hard, playin around). He said sorry bro it is just becoming a habit, i said one more time and were gonna roll right here and now! lol we love to tell that story!
 
heavywear I was at the Arnold and saw the slapping, shit you could hear it in the cheap seats!

what about Marcus thumping himself in the forehead before he layed back on the bench, everyone around me was getting into that!
 
Pucker up buttercup. Hell yes, I am there, if and when Blankman, err, I mean Blackman rears his muscular head, I will kiss one cheek while you kiss the other, and heavywear can cover the story. It will be funny though that the two most muscular people in the picture will be the ones doing the kissing.

heavywear can probably check my numbers for sure on that Svend Karlson thing, but I am pretty sure that is accurate. I am at work and the article is in my reading room, err, the bathroom, err, my study at the house.

hear hear to the you can only get hit so much. I am not someone who likes to get hit before, during or after a lift. I know Mendy likes that shit, but it aint for me. I spent 4 years in full contact karate trying like Hell not to get hit. I aint interested in getting hit voluntarily now.

heavywear, the Cleausau thing made me laugh so hard I chortled.

ok,guys you show me a meet where there is deadlifting,benching,squating,bent over row,dips with weight,curls,shrugs etc and my athlete will be there.

Yes you are correct with the 330 lb curl from that guy.
I can not believe all the haters or doubters out there.

I don't doubt alot of things because I know there is alot of crazy and weird shit out there.

Why so many doubters in here,why not just congradulate and give props where its do.
 
Were all sceptical when those numbers start coming from an unknown 181 er. Just get him into a full sanctioned meet ,sqaut , bench and deads and if he puts up the numbers you say than we would consider listening to the other numbers. None of us here actually care about bis and bent row numberes any way. If i can find a meet for you in Toronto or any where close then i'll post it for you and we'll try to get heavywear to cover it.
 
:D OK YOUR RIGHT CONGRATULATIONS TO YOUR GUY. In fact why don't you put his name as the 2nd worlds strongest man, in 1st will be my name for Curling 350 on a preacher curl, bench 800 raw, deadlift 1500, squat 1300 and if my back is still feeling for it i'll do a bent over row with 700lbs if I feel like going lite:p
 
HOLD ON I forgot to put what I do for weighted dips. I attach a cable to a hummer and do about 15 parallel dips with it to cool down after workouts ;)
 
Cubanito you should grow up a little bit buddy.
Your only 18 and you don't know a hell of a lot.

Thanks guys,let me know of any big meets coming up.
 
Hey, ray ivory. I'm not sure if any of these meets are close to toronto but if you go to www.apa-wpa.com there are 3 or four CPA meets in Canada. You might just have to make a road trip if you want your boy recognized. You might also think about doing one in NY if its close , I can't remember where Toronto is. Good luck.
