People are also afraid doing volume work is going to turn them into 300 pound immobile bodybuilders, which completely goes against the laws of thermodynamics and against logic period.

Calves, just like abs, are always either overemphasized or under-emphasized. And everyone thinks they need special training.

The world record for deadlifting with just a belt is 975 pounds. If you ever choose to go down this route, I think with drug use and gaining some weight you could definitely break that. The record holder is 378 pounds.

« on: March 22, 2011, 06:55:07 pm »Also tychever, I think you're missing the point. The point wasn't that 2x bodyweight squat was more impressive for a 200 pound man than it is for a 150 pound manlet, it was that manlets compare their relative strength to people of the same weight, even if they are much taller.
If that point isn't clear enough for you, I'll try explaining it again.
A 5'6 160 pound manlet squats 320 pounds. So that's 2x his bodyweight. A 6'2 160 pound man squats 240 pounds. That's 1.5x his bodyweight. For some crazy reason, the 5'6 manlet thinks he's superior to the 6'2 man purely for relative strength reasons. He should be happy that he has more muscle on him than the 6'2 man, but he's not because a 320 squat isn't impressive.
That's because the 6'2 160lb guy lifting 240lb needs to shut the fuck up and lift ~360lb at ~225lb giving an equal wilks score.
Ok.
From now on, I want every person to just put their wilks score in their youtube videos. I don't care how much they weight or how much weight they lifted.

Give me a formula to use that apparently everyone uses already. I've never heard anyone use a bodyweight adjusted formula (whatever that even means). All I hear is manlets bragging about how they can bench 2x their bodyweight (thats why when manlets post strength videos, they'll put @160 pounds or whatever. Never seen someone of normal height do that) and thinking they are better than everyone else. But I guess manlets need something to be happy about.
Used at pretty much any competition:
Powerlifting
Wilks http://www.wimwam.nl/wilkscalculator.htm
Siff http://tsampa.org/training/scripts/siff/
Both can be used for totals or single lifts. Wilks
Malone-Meltzer to age adjust for junior and masters
Weightlifting
Sinclair
Sinclair-Malone-Meltzer
Wilks total is often used to compare a single lift anyway so you can use it for any exercise you want.
Blenderate, 6'1 250lb elite raw powerlifter posting his weight in a youtube title:
#Invalid YouTube Link#
Most major powerlifting competitions use weight classes, not a handicap formula. I'm not too sure about olympic lifting, but I'm assuming the olympics uses weight classes as well. Lamar Gant is in the Guiness Book of World records for deadlifting 5x his bodyweight. Sure it sounds impressive, but he's 5'1 123 pounds. No man of normal height would be able to deadlift 5x their bodyweight. Yet if Lamar Gant was 6 feet, with a proportionate amount of muscle (can't think of the words to use but I think you get me), his deadlift wouldn't be so impressive.

« on: March 21, 2011, 08:57:28 pm »isn't 5 10 the american "normal height" thus 6-2 would be more abnormal than 5 8. Clearly height plays a role as do genetics, but dont dismiss someone's strength just because they are shorter. It still takes hard work to bench that much over your body weight I dont care how tall you are.
Yes, I'm just joking around. My point is shorter guys always brag about their relative strength and compare it to taller guys, but it's not a fair comparison. Every single manlet will put their bodyweight in their video titles on youtube to brag about their relative strength.
