I set a new personal record for benching today. 275 lbs x 7 reps. I thought I'd brag about it here. What can y'all do?
By the way, exactly how old are you? Most powerlifters seem to peak around 30-40. You should've kept on lifting!My deadlift is pretty weak. I can probably do 400 lbs at most right now.Did you really use dianabol? Any crazy side effects?
I am 44 now. I gave up heavy lifting at 38,
when my quad decided to leave its mountings and shoot up my leg.
Most people seem to have a preference for one of the three lifts.
Benching was my weakness and deadlifting my strength. I just loved the feel of the bar bending.
As for side effects, short term probably only a spotty back, a short temper & distaste for atonalism.
Long term, pretty much the same. My dosage was rather small compared to some i used to train with, but i did do juice on and off for 5 years. Such was the quality of the gym i went to, you could get injected at reception.
Happy lifting.
A Hinton's Powerlifting Records are as follows.Bench Press - 2 x Messa Alta Sinfonica's + 3 x Vocalise pour soprano fioriturata (1916) Dead Lift - 4 x Concertino non grosso for 4 violins, viola, cello and piano + 2 x Fantasiettina atematica for oboe, flute and clarinet Squat - 3 x Variazioni e fuga triplice sopra Dies irć per pianoforte + 4 x Quaere Reliqua Hujus Materiei Inter Secretiora (1940) Sorabji himself must have been a good powerlifter if he managed to get some of that crap back on the shelf.
hintawn, how much can you bench? were you and leon/kaikhosru lifting buddies?
as far as bench lifting is concerned
I can do 10 pounds dumb bells in each of my hand. I'm not a guy though, best wishes, go12_3
OMG
OK, so we have established that Sorabji did not do bench lifting.
Did he do shirt lifting??
I haven't the faintest idea
I am aware of this.
Nothing better to do, perhaps.
hintawn's probably a beast on the bench. I think he's internally fuming with anger from all the Sorabji hate on here, and he goes to the gym in order to relieve it.
There are internet pounds, and gym pounds.You should be aware it is standard practice to inflate internet poundages by a factor of 40%. If you really want to know how much somebody can lift, ask them in kilos.
If i remember one of your photos correctly, you used to be a bit of a stick insect. You must have been pumping the roids and put on a few stone of muscle to do this.20 years ago at my peak i could not have done this. Perhaps 400 lbs x 1 when i was on huge quantities of dianobol, but no more than 220 - 230 for 7 reps.Did a 600lbs deadlift once at a bodyweight of 200 lbs.Thal
A 400 lb bench and a 600lb deadlift is are pretty awesome stats, although I would be concerned for your health for the steroid use.
I find deadlifting easy as my knuckles are about 5 inches from the ground.Thal
