Ronnies has ten plates while those posted above has 9 plates. I would say 200/225lbs.

still heavier then shit. i cant imagine that weight really has any benefit. no matter how big you are that weight IS doing damage to tendons, ligaments, joints etc.. its not just the muscle that lift the weight.

The most I've done on flat bench were 175lbs for a few reps and shit was no joke. But felt good moving the weight in a nice controlled manner. You wanna talk about a fucking stretch and basically no room for error; try that shit.

well he's inclining those 225lb s

agree with bouncer though, no way you can go super heavy then bring elbows right out to side, and stretch safely. You either do damage or you hold the muscle so stiff for fear of doing so that you don't do FRM.

I've lifted.some heavy stuff for the sake of it, we all have

I would say that those weights are for power lifters/weight lifters, and not for bodybuilders - but how can you say that, it's ronnie coleman's afterall..

And look what the did to him in the end, check Lee labrada and Rich Gaspari, those light lifters, lebrada would purposely hit every other leg excercise and squat last with only 225lb, seen how he looks lately!

Coleman born 64
Rich Gaspari 63
Lee Labrada 60

Mr I, post up your updated chest pic. Let's see the progress!

[Mr I]

Not as good form as the powerlifter guy but still a lot of weight so to be expected.

I don't see how using that weight with that form does anything for back development.

with the genetics and drugs that guy uses, he would look the same or probably better if he cut the weight in half and used strict form. that guy has ruined his body with his training style. he's to stupid to realize he's made his core massive by his training style. He had tons of potential to be a great pro like Flex.
