I say we should have a PF meet up at Central Day or something to see who can lift 100kgs or 150kgs in good form. See whos talking shite and whos not.

I will ref.

now thats a good idea

muz

It wouldn't take long either, as only 3 people would turn up.

Kieron

and they would only be spectators!!

they would turn up but would have a injury what would stop them lifting lol

i weigh 12st 6lb (no idea what that is in kgs) and i can just about bench 70kgs 2'ce which i thought was a bit shit tbh ! comfortably i can bench 50kgs

Coldo

Definately! That would sift out the billy bullshitters. I doubt it would happen though, excuses/no shows etc etc.....

I'm 88kg (14stone), and can do 8x160kg on seated press, 3sets x 15 reps with 100kg bench bar and do 3 sets x 10 reps incline bench on 42kg each arm dumbells, but been doing it for 16 years now

P412KER

well looking at most of the lifts mentioned, i would say the vast majority are talking shit, ive been training for years and remember how long it took me to break the 100kg barrier.

although one or two names do look familiar from muscletalk....

ive never been to a gym, but can carry a mark 1 fiesta like a wheel barrow lol

Kieron

Get outta here!

I wondered why no-one was keen on proving themselves.

P412KER

Would like to see the pics of the guys doing 200kg pressing!!!

Coldo

Definately, tbh i would like to see vids of people repping 100kg. It took me ages to get to that stage.

P412KER

100 kg was like a brick wall for me, took ages to get there but once passed the numbers increased a little quicker.

Kieron

If only I could work out how to get vids onto a computer. Oh and had a phone that records.

I'm all up for having a go in real life though. Shame others aren't.....

P412KER

Would find it difficult to put up a vid as i train at home alone, but i am sure a picture of people will give everyone a kind of idea if there bullshitters or not......

Kieron

To be fair it would sound a little bent sayng to your training partner "please can you film me benching so I can host it online for a bunch of lads to watch on a car forum"

1st turbo

do it with engines not so gay now

Coldo

Keiron i'm not for a second questioning your ability to do it! Pics tend to prove whether people can or can't do it.

i don't bullshit.

on a normal bench lifting it on my own.

if you don't believe me....TOUGH SHIT,i'm not arsed!

Kieron

Mate, I never thought for one minute you were. You can tell most of the people telling the truth. Some may be less obvious to spot but mostly the bullshitters stand out like a sore thumb.

I was thinking that if someone started the ball rolling with a vid then others may follow. Bit naive of me I spose.

Im a pathetic 10st and bench 60kg.

Kieron

Nothing wrong with that. When I first started training I must have weighed about the same and I was chuffed to bits to lift 60Kgs.

snOOpy86

iTrader: (1)

Really need to sort my diet out, and hopefully be up to 10.5 maybe 11 befour summer time, altho i think 10.5 will be more realistic.

Kieron

At 10 stone I would just eat everything in sight. Your hardly the type to put on fat.

Good luck with your goals anyhow.

snOOpy86

iTrader: (1)

I think thats half the trouble, i DO eat everything but probably not enough good foods and to much junk.

Still, we shall see how 2011 goes.

muz

As said, thats actually quite good for your size. As I've said before, it's FAR harder for a 60KG bloke to bench 60KG than it is for an 80kg chap to bench 80kg.

Cheers Muz

mmanse

i was the same as that! took a long time to be able to lift 100kg but once done i went from there upwards pretty quick. my personal best is 3 lifts of 130kg when i weighed a little over 14st. i started back about 5 months ago after a couple years out but already back up to 120kg, only a couple of lifts but can bench 90kg x15 100kg x11 and 7 to 8 lifts on 110kg.

Ed1

I weight just under 12 stone, can rep 100kg for 7 reps or a one rep max of 115kg maybe 120 by now as it was a while ago since i tried it! lol

Coldo

Lies...

Kieron

I've got a good one for you. My mate, who is a big lad (26 stone at the beginning of the year), has just started back at the gym for fitness purposes to shed some weight. Anyway he told me today its a bit disheartening that he can only do the 30kgs dumbells now as he used be on the 60kgs. So I said for what exercise as it makes a difference and he replied with flies. Man I ripped the shit out of him, flies with 60kgs dumbells. I told him that I would pay to see him do the 30's with good form, let alone 60's and he was adamant. Got up the gym tonight and spoke to his old training partner who thinks he may have only just been benching with them, let alone flies.

He is a fucking strong ole beast but come on.

muz

Who's bringing the bench to Ford Fair then. A 75 kg lad repping 100kgs is some serious statement to be fair.

I've got a 67kg mate who tried telling me he was doing 20kg flys at his first ever weights session. That's not impressive, that's damn impossible.
