Well been back on the weights for 6 months after a 5 year gap and it's been tough as it comes, need to shift the bloody weight, dropped just over 3 stone but feeling as strong as an ox again, well I was until...
I got invited round to my ex's uncles place at the weekend, he's been lifting weights for 24 years and won may a contest over the years in tight pants!
So he's board to death with lifting stuff so decided to start doing this strong man stuff.
Bby f**k I was so unprepared for what was about to be an onslaught on my poor body, 110kg farmers walks (yes 2 at a time 220kg) and 70ky moving to 90kg dead and lock out 3 times......
Just some photo's of the stupid games!
I can quite happly do 15x 118kg bench press and 24kg curles but this just kills everything I have done...
Just to give you an idea, he was doing 40kg curles no worries and benching 180kg chatting away to me..

Woah! That's mental. While you may be strong as an ox, does all the weight lifting have a detrimental effect on your body or do you feel fit as a fiddle? Do weight lifters suffer from back problems, etc. later in life?

weight lifters in general are no fitter than most normal people... however I would imagine doing some of the strongman stuff gives you an increased level of fitness.
At the gym i used to go to we had a powerlifter... he looked far from fit, but was a one time world record holder.

meh usual weeknight work out for me that :grin:
nah just kidding, dont even think ide get that off the ground :D

IMO no one should be able to lift that much. Well, people like Ronnie Coleman and those kinds of people are crazy. Why on earth would you ever need to lift 400kg? Bloody stupid if you ask me.
Benching more than 100kg is excessive and unnecessary.

I was in Ikea the other day on my own and wanted to buy some shelves until I saw how heavy the box was. Waited till I could get some friends to help me carry it.

Thats not really true, theres nothing really good about a Smith Machine. It is un-natural to push in a perfect straight plane. If you want to bench and are worried about being spotted then use DB's. Squats should always been done in a squat rack and not on a smith, purely because of the technique used to squat correctly. The smith forces you to use bad posture.. Shoulder press is the same, it can be done with DB's.

My entire body has been ripped to shreds...

You say that but when you get to 100kg, then what? might as well lift some more!

It does make a few things more fun, anything from 60 - 90kg you can bounce around for quite a bit.

Lol 20" calf muscles, I'm not surprised having to shift 22.5 stone about lol....
I think the true test of strength is not bench, but weighted chin ups. I can max rep 130kg and rep 110kg easily, but I can only do about 10 chin ups. With one plate on I can do 6 ups and with 2 plates on 3 ups....f**k all basically. And yet I've got a mate who can only max rep 100kg on bench and yet he can do 20 chin ups with 2 plates on.....that's strength for you my friends. By the way I weigh near 280lbs and my mush just 235lbs. :sick:

I work with a guy who only weighs 78kg and he benches 150kg (i think could be more by now) and squats over 100, hes a Slovakian nutcase though he weighed the same as me before he started training (69kg) and looks exactly the same other than having huge muscles now :grin:

i cant wait for the kids to go back to school so i can get up gym again,kids, shift work and the gym dont mix grrrrr
