Heavyweight Weightlifting Showdown!

[LSN2meBoom916]

Damn that 15yo is one lucky dude.

Nice work Mazda, but agreed, technically Durant can get away with it since a Bball weighs what 5lbs maybe?

I'mma a scrawny lil dude maself so all them numbers are what I dream of...

5'5'' (in shoes)

However, as of 2 yrs ago, I weighed 128lbs, and I repped 185 (3 sets of and maxed 215 (1 time free weight, but on more than 1 occasion)

That's the best shape I've ever been in.

Took some time off to "get fat" and now I'm back on track trying to reach 220+max.

I have totally been thinkin bout starting a "who is a gym addict" thread, so maybe this will be the one.

As a freshman, training on the football team, I maxed a bench press of 325lbs 1 time, my elbow never felt the same since, always have a little sting when I bench now, so now Iam stuck in the 200lbs range forever I guess, but curls, tricep presses, butterflys, I get up there fast, (100lbs +curls, and tricep press-butterlys) but havent been to the gym in about 2 weeks cuz of my heart acting up again (all them drugs as a teenager, stay away from drugs kids) hah

But on the leg press side, I can leg press well over 1000lbs when I try, that isnt knee to chest, but very close, because as with the elbow, I happen to have a knee issue. But when I get started, I can 1000lbs multiple times, maxed about 1200lbs 6 reps constant every night-5years ago. I guess that is an advantage of being a 300lb plus guy who always lived on the top floor of the apts, running up and down stairs 20-30 times a day

SHIT DUDE!!!! My max as a freshman was like 530 but dam haha.....Dam I have gotten extremely week

the moral of this story is... if your going to play in the NBA you had better be hittin the weights! 185LBs FTL bwahahaha lol

Except then that defeats the purpose of weightlifting in the first place. You won't get your maximum full rep, & everything will take twice as long to develop.

Nice going Mazda, but you have to realize that usually a lot of taller guys like say in the NBA, are going to have issues with muscle development. I don't really see too many REAL beefy guys in the 7 foot range, because they have genes that can make them plateau at a certain point & it's hard to overcome sometimes. Guys like Kevin focus more on total body fitness & stamina than brute strength. I know shaq only works out with 50lbs dumbells & he's been training for decades.

shaq has God given SIZE, if that muffuga hit the weights harder he would be in the NFL not the NBA. IMO
