most weight you have seen lifted in the gym?

[jerseybowles]

Man, yesterday I saw this freak incline 455....after about 10 sets of ridiculous bench in the 4 range....What is the most weight you have ever witnessed lifted in person

[itsrich]

this dude at Sausage Zone (fit zone) benches 4 plates on each side for reps! On squats he is amazing.

[Vinny]

I saw a guy do 45 degree leg-presses with 10 plates on each side and a guy standing on the platform. The 45 degree machine in my gym has two prongs which are used to hold weights, so he fit 5 plates on each prong on each side.

He had to be pressing close to 1100 pounds. Guy's legs looked like redwood tree stumps.

Most I ever flat benched max was about 310 for six reps, but I don't record that in my training diary, which is found in my sig.

[Cookie Monster]

I maxed 415 on bench for 2 reps. 2nd reps was w/ a spot.

[Nick David]

when i was in highschool i legpressed 750lbs. i hurt my ankles so bad i couldn't walk for the day. I swear!

Anytime you do heavy weight like that on your legs, they feel like rubber. It's weird and cool at the same time. :lol:

[Nick David]

it really fuckin hurt me, i would never try that shit again...surprised my fuckin knees didn't blow outta my skin

[tommymac]

Most I did was 1170 on leg presses got 4 reps out woul dhave went heavier but I couldnt fit any more plates on there and no one would sit on the sled for me and squats I did 515 twice. My knees are now shot from all the years of football so that wont be hapening again :cry:

it was kind of cool to see people clap when I did the leg presses though.

[robs97beast]

A good friend of mine still benches 315lbs w/o spot for about 15 reps and then can go to 405 for 3-4 no problem!!!

When I was about 23, I was able to do leg presses with 10- 45lb plates on each side on the 45degree leg press for 10 reps!!!! No help!! Also was doing 365 bench for 4 reps no spot!!! :red danc:

Now at 29 years old, I have serious A-C Joint problems (Acromio-clavicular joint) also known as "Weightlifters Shoulder"along with impingement in my left rotator cuff!!! :cussing:
I havent been able to go heavy in about 2-3 years and now I am lucky if I can bench 185 lbs for one rep w/o serious pain!!!!!!
Heavy is definitely not the way to go w/o any long breaks in between. It messed me up big time!!
At least I have a GF that I will marry soon and I have no need to be a Meat Head and hang out at the Old Factory like I used to!!!!!! I can be skinny and / or fat and love it!!! :cheer:

[1qwikSV]

Leg Press: 1260 for 8...12 plates each side and 4 resting on top

Flat Bench 315 for 4

Incline Dumbell Press 140's for 6

Military Press 3 plates and a 10 each side on the smith machine(1/2 the gym stopped to watch me do this one)

The most I've ever seen anyone bench was when I spotted a guy who did 500...needles to say he didn't need a spot :shock:

[soda7o]

i once lifted the bar............

[RichieRich]

i leg pressed a lil over 1000 lbs. when i was playing football and lacrosse. i havent worked my legs in years. all upper body these days. typical jersey workout. :lol:

[Vinny]

typical jersey workout. :lol:

Monday: Chest
Tuesday: Bis
Wednesday: Shrugs, nothing else
Thursday: Chest
Friday: Bis

:lol:

I'm finding that working legs is really beneficial to the rest of my routine.

[Commuta_Busa]

I remember this one guy used to come to the gym and when he did squats that bar was so bowed... I always thought if he brings that up one more time it's gonna snap! He had x6 - 45's on each side... SICK I tell ya! damn roid head :lol:

[KZ-Rob]

12 oz. :lol: oh you said gym, whats that?

[Beans]

I saw a guy do 45 degree leg-presses with 10 plates on each side and a guy standing on the platform. The 45 degree machine in my gym has two prongs which are used to hold weights, so he fit 5 plates on each prong on each side.

He had to be pressing close to 1100 pounds. Guy's legs looked like redwood tree stumps.

If you saw that in high school in oakland, nj that was me. The gym teacher was yelling at up for F-ing around and putting all the weights on the sled. I lifted it, he stopped talking, I lifted it again and he walked out of the room.

[Jefferz00]

this dude whos a cop ay my gym did military dumbell reps 140lb dumbells, with spot obviously
saw another dude deadlift 585 i think 5 times.
saw a guy incline the 150 dumbells 6 times
see multiple guys everyday doin over 1100 on legpress

most ive flat bar-benched is 235, i dont usually do flat bench.
rep 90 lb dumbells on incline
but i only weigh about 168 give or take a few lbs.

[I Ride]

Hack squats, at least I think that's the machine you are talking about. Tonight, this guy, he's a house and getting ready to compete in June or July, he was on the press machine with two levels to stack and had them both filled with 45's :shock: I think he caught me staring a few times, I was trying to count them :lol:

[Psycho1000R]

I am not killing chest anymore, already lost enough :? I'm just kinda coasting with chest and my back is getting a little big too, so I lift them together. I know, chest and tri's back and bi's right? Everyone keeps telling me that :lol:

I love lifting bi's and tri's together though, I can't break up legs either, I mean do calves another day, my bf keeps telling me to do that, but I do them with legs.

I'll have to try that, it will be weird splitting legs up like that, but I'll try it! Thanks.

Hey, I need something to keep me busy until I get another bike next summer ;)

[Vinny]

OOH OOH!! I'm gonna post my Max-OT routine when I get to work. I love this workout -- you blast one muscle group a day for no more than 40 minutes. I've seen much better results since starting it.

Heheh. Everytime I hear some of those guys yelling and screaming, I always make a comment about putting the weight down if it hurts so much. :lol: Most of them have a sense of humour :roll:

I used to be in the gym for 2 hours 5x a week. This past summer, At 5'8", I weighed 180, and had (still have) a 29" waist. So for the past 5-6 months, I dropped to 165. Now both my Teknic jackets fit :lol: I'm staying at that weight.

Anywhooo...To go back on topic, I once saw a 400+ fat lady walk up the stairs to the cardio room.... :P

[WSprtuaL]

Anyone ever heard of Jimmy 'The Iron Bull' Pellechia? He use to work out at a gym one of my friends was at. He use to bench 760, actually got 800 off the rack, lateral raises and seated biceps curls with the 150 dumbells...this man is sick!

[Kawi636]

I used to see a guy at my gym warm up on the bench press with 315 for 20 reps . Supposedly he holds or held a bench press record , benching 560lbs at a bodyweight of 180lbs ( if I remember correctly ).I'm guessing hes around 5'8 , COMPLETELY ripped. Ive also seen him doing reps with 315 , behind the neck shoulder presses , and these were full reps , no partial rep BS .

Thats pretty much exactly my routine , except I do calves with quads. Also , I do traps on back day ( I don't know if you do them with shoulders or not , it seems like most people do though )

This guy the iron bull use to do 225 for 75 reps on his burn out set....never in my life will I do anything like that.

[1qwikSV]

225 for 75 reps on his burn out set.....

I kinda find that hard to believe...not saying yer lieing...just that I would have to see it for myself...I mean seriously...after about umm I duuno say 30 reps muscle fatiuge would be setting in...especially if this is a "burn out" set after the regular work out...

[robs97beast]

I dont thinkthat he can do 75 reps of that either....not at the end!!
Lactic acid builds up after normally 20 seconds or so...then since this type of excersise is anerobic....the glucose stores are quickly used up...lactic acid builds up and soon you just cant do anymore.

[jerseybowles]

They do 225 for as many reps as you can get going into NFL combines, I'm pretty sure around 30 is damn good....I knew a guy that could do it 32 times in college and he maxed out at 460 (running back for the steelers right now)....so 75 seems way far fetched to me

I am jusrt relaying what I was told by a supposed eye witness. I had my doubts as well. But keep in mind that this is a guy that repped 770 and did lateral raises with 150lbs dumbells..

hey where did the link to the funny pic of the 3 queer lookin wimps flexin their muscles? was gonna send that to a friend, he looks like that, lol.
