‘downsizing’ Member 5704, 3225 posts SQ 280, BP 210, DL 320810.0 kgs @ 96.3kgs UnEq | ChrisMcCarthy said:Some of James's claims are far enough out there that I'd have to see them to accept them. I do believe that he has amongst the strongest hands on the planet and that there aren't many people who could out lift him in any sort of "all-round" strength competition. grip people can be deceptively strong. some of the guys i know from grip world are beasts yet slim and scrawny otherwise. i struggle a lot more believing his benches. 600lbs @ 100kg looking like he barely lifts. anyone i've seen benching 250kg+ at lowish bw (which is just a few at 110kg and 1 or 2 at 100kg) is absolutely jacked: massive chest + delts, stumpy upper arms that would make purple aki come from a hundred yards. | ||

Yeah, it's definitely things like that that cause the doubt...to be fair to him he was well over 100kg in that vid however. Mike Macdonald would blow your mind then. | ||

Mike Macdonald would blow your mind then. agreed he looked very normal... but he did it on the plaform, so never be doubted. | ||

Lovely ass Congrats. Member 5958, 2315 posts SQ 280, BP 170, DL 300750.0 kgs @ 138kgs UnEq | Tried a 255 DOH on a Texas DL bar. The wall between what you can and cant do is a harsh mistress. 240 was relatively easy. no sign of slipping. 255 a small jump for deadlift. but DOH. definately too much. | ||
