I have huge bone spurs in both my elbows that will eventually have to come out and have L1-L3 problem in my back from deadlifting a lot of weight one day. Tried to do one more rep and my back went. Thank God I was dating someone at the time she had to put my socks on everyday for 2 weeks. I could barely get in and out of bed ....Hence I’m retired from deadlifting. Did you have herniated discs?

Yeah shorter distance but If i were taller, I could add on so much more weight, and compete with the giants. And I have the frame of a wide receiver, if that makes sense, and years of lifting had widened me. I also assume that to beat such a record one must be no lighter than 275?

That’s just stupid weight. He says he used to know Greg Kovacs (a gigantic lean 420 pound bodybuilder during the 90s who was insanely strong at most gym lifts). According to him, Greg could do 675x2-5 on incline for a warm up. And yes he did 650 for 1 on the flat bench raw and half way with 700.

I know but you can be so much bigger with height like that. I hate my height and frame. And i almost dislike being around guys that tall sometimes. Maybe I am woefully insecure.

Agree. Some guys are stronger on different lifts, injuries, prior training, body type, etc. That’s crazy strength if so. My buddy from high school competed in some strong man comps. Dude has crazy strength, lot of bol intake. Robie Topie ( big time arm wrestler) was my Davila workout partner for 3-4 years. Dude had strongest forearms and biceps I’ve ever seen. Some videos of him online. We got drunk and arm wrestled one night at bar. Took me 2-3 mins to beat him...... I was using both arms. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started lifting heavy after bad leg injury and couldn’t run any longer. Stay lean and mean would be my advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
