*chortle* Nice.

He's a Butterball, hopped up on steroids. Most probaby, he has a small penis, is impotent and kicks children and small pets for kicks.

Don't tell him I said that, though. :Q

Yep, it looks like he is wearing straps for his shoulders (kind of like wrapping your knees when doing heavy squats). When you have to strap your shoulders, you are pushing your body WAY too much (and this is coming from a guys that does 400lbs bench). I've no doubt that steroids are involved in that bench too. The human body will not do ~ 1/2 ton bench without pharmaceutical support, no ifs, ands, or buts. Sh!t, the human body shouldn't even do anywhere close to half a ton, PERIOD!

OK first off....that guy looks like a freakin tard. His body is so round that it just eats his head. Second, his arms are so small and his chest is so big that it doesn't even look like he's going down all the way. Still crazy though.

What a total and complete waste of time.

That guy's entire existance is next to useless. He's probably spent the majority of his adult life training to lift as much weight as possible - a wholly fruitless exercise. Now, he's disgusting and deformed.

There is no point whatsoever in lifting that weight other than to say one is able to lift that weight, which we have established is pointless.

Powerlifters don't go for looks, they go for power.

It's nice to see lifters concerned more with weight than with how ripped they look. I find narcisism and vanity hard to deal with, but there's just no arguing with some dude who can almost bench half a ton!

what's the point of lifting so much if it's not going to benefit you? this guy can bench half a ton, but is that going to help him run faster? jump higher? be better at a game of basketball?

His acomplishment is noteworthy. However, on the whole its a waste of a human body since his heart will likely explode from steroid use in 5 years.

Mmm, hmm. He can probably do a really neat trick; crushing a basketball w/his bare hands, though. :Q

jooksing and brigden,

Powerlifters can make some good money in competition.

Look, it's what HE loves to do. That you think he needs you to justify it is just plain funny.

There is no point whatsoever in posting on ATOT other than to increase your post count, which we have established is pointless.


Fixed.

Useless? Lmao... Ever acted up at a club? If this guy was the bouncer, he could probably literally "rip your arms from their sockets" or break your arm by hyperextending it as if it was a twig. How many different languages can you say "Uncle" in? Jealosy is a mutha...

Absolutely sick lift... my lift of double my weight last year pales in comparison to this monstrosity...

it's impressive in absolute terms, but i know a guy in montery, ca.
who did > 700 lbs at 220 lb bodyweight, & i saw a guy
weighing less than 150 lbs do a 450 lb BP
(both in drug-tested, judged contests).

3x bodyweight IS impressive.

Right. He can impress everyone by making minimum wage as a scary bouncer. What an accomplishment.

I'm sure he can rip my arms off, which is useful if you're Jax from Mortal Kombat.
