fuck... that was hardly clean. And it is not that impressive. I do that shit all the time and I have never juiced nor do I wear elbow wraps. Your elbows are supposed to be locked when doing a french press.

Lets see you do that lying on a decline bench. If you could do that as a real skull crusher I would be impressed.

Or.. lets see him do a one handed overhead tricep extension with 100-125lb dumbell. That should be easy enough.

Well.. all I got are pics. These are 180lb db's.. I do sets of 8-12 with these. The old gym I trained at in Texas I often used 220lb db's for sets of 8.

I haven't had a DV camera in a while but I ll see what I can do. I am always up for a challenge.

But some pics... so you don't think I am full of shit.

nope.. was a heavy chest, shoulder, tricep day. These pictures are a bit old though. Over a year. Since then I benched 500lbs... quit lifting for about 6 months after the 500lb bench and came back a few months ago. My elbows were killing me from all the heavy tricep work. Maybe if I juiced.

cfm- Yea I hear ya flamming don't go getting all sensitive on me cause a friend of mine threw up a video. Ya got some impressive lifts yourself so its all good.

Im still impressed , i can only do 225lbs skull crush on a incline bench , but this was 250 anyway you look at it thats alot of weight, even if his form wasnt a perfect scull crush , still try doing exactly what he did and find out how fucking hard it is.

looks like cfm can also throw the weight around and his bench looked pretty clean so i gotta give him props too.

but to say one or the other isnt impressive is just nonsense.

That's pretty much what i'm saying too. Even a 250lb military press is impressive let alone just cooking your tri's with that kind of weight.

Thanks for the flame on my post cfm.... its great to see "consctuctive" critiscism - but not all out bashing. And yes, you have posted pics of your lifts in defense - nice lifts. But hell, I'd like to know your stats in comparison to Krypton32's - you look like your way heavier than he is... and he's roughly 5'7" and 233lbs (solid) - so that french press was impressive for his size and abilties. I see you have at least 16 posts on this board - the posts you have placed on my thread lead me to believe that you're a hard ass and hav'nt read the board rules..

I guess I'll stop posting becasue I'm tired of having haters get away with posts like that.... now that this thread has turned into your thread. And no offence to the mod and admin team of SuperiorMuscle - I love this board - I just havn't been posting here lately.

Why are you going to let one persons egotistical personality get to you? Yea, so he feels he's badass, but that shouldn't deter you from posting here man. A lot of us are inspired by the feats you guys accomplish in the gym. I'm doing deads tonight, and the vids you guys got have me ready to go fight a battle dude.

In those pics I am 5.8 255lbs. I was in the middle of slimming down. Now I am 225lbs and still benching 460lbs still using a lot of the same weight that I did when I was heavier. And I benched the 500lbs at 237lbs.

So krypton and I share similar builds it would appear.

Bashing? Dude you posted a video. It's like bragging. I simply replied that I am not impressed. Where does it say that you can't voice your opinion? It is not as if I was really taking the piss out of him. To me it is not that impressive to do a shoulder press with the amount of wieght he was using on the ez curl bar. If it was done with strict form.. then I would be impressed.

He's strong, no doubt. What else do you want me to say? I backed up my talk with pics.

see.. and there you go. I had no idea that you post a bunch of vids to get people pumped up about lifting... every other board I have been people brag when they show videos like that. To me, benching 500lbs is not impressive and if I saw a video I wouldn't be impressed. So I was comparing what I saw to what I have seen.. without consideration for why you posted the video.
