The scary thing is, every one of those was a fairly “clean” rep.

SmallToBig · June 28, 2009, 9:42pm

Good post by himself lol the man literally doesn’t care what his body does he just keeps on lifting more weights !

MK. It all boils down to mental toughness and desire to overcome any obstacle but knowing your body and how far you can push it is very important as well. The key to a fast recovery is doing as much as you can as soon as you can. The difficult part is walking that fine line between maximum speed of recovery and re injury. For me I have overcome so many injuries that at this point I truly believe that nothing can stop me. At first I was pretty sure I could overcome injuries quickly but each time I conquer something new that reinforces my confidence and my belief in myself to be able to make anything happen that I want to.

When I tore my first distal biceps tendon and had surgery I did lots of research and talked to everyone that I knew or could get a hold of that had been through it. Most people told me that it would be at least six months before I could get back to training regularly and a good year before I was ready to compete again. I tore mine in late August and had surgery in early September and I told all of my close friends that I would be 100% by Christmas and most of them looked at me like I was crazy. Well on November 3rd at a Metal Militia bench seminar I hit a 605 bench which was a big PR for me at the time. So essentially I made a full recovery and increased my strength in less than eight weeks.

My mindset is such that I care less about pain than I do about reaching my goals. I have used various techniques to increase my pain tolerance and this is why I do some of the crazy things that I do. I also believe what other people think about what I can doesn’t matter at all only what I believe in my own mind. Back in 2004 when I was diagnosed with testicular cancer I told everyone right away that it was no big deal and it was just a bump in the road. Fortunately I was right and I didn’t even really allow it to slow my training progress. Four days after I had my right testicle removed because of the large tumor in it I was back in the gym squatting. I was bleeding heavily through my incision but I didn’t care. When I went back to see my oncologist and he saw the bandages were soaked with dried blood he thought that the wound must have become infected but after removing the bandages and cleaning the wound he was surprised to see everything looked fine. He really wasn’t sure what had happened and not feeling like trying to explain myself to someone that was certainly not going to understand I didn’t bother to even try. I have many other stories about similar incidents like my ilio-tibial (IT) band injury that had me on crutches three weeks out from the '06 Arnold Classic where I went on to win the middle weights and squat a PR in the process. About how I dislocated my left shoulder and partially tore my triceps a week before the '07 Arnold and yet I went on to bench a PR there. There have been more things like this but I think you can see why I believe so strongly in the power of the mind and the force of will in the face of adversity.

hmmm… That seems like a good life goal. Keep my DL heavier than Kroc rows…

Lol the man is an awesome beast.

Bricknyce · June 28, 2009, 10:18pm

I still don’t understand why they’re called Kroc rows. It looks like every other sort of loose dumbbell row form.

Yes, the man is an accomplished lifter with dedication and physical ability that nearly all of the population doesn’t have and never will have; however, that is NOT clean form; his elbow barely reaches past his torso during the set. If this works for him, hats off! That sort of loose rowing has worked for many men, but it hasn’t worked for me in building mass in my upper back.

Bricknyce · June 28, 2009, 10:20pm

This is what clean, strict form looks like in this exercise:

GluteusGigantis · June 28, 2009, 10:24pm

FORM POLICE FORM POLICE FORM POLICE

You’ve got to be kidding, what kind of lift was…

…haha, just kidding

Mean lift. So that’s what a 300lb dumb-bell looks like. And here I am all happy that I’m starting to have a bash at the 120lb dbs

BlackLabel · June 28, 2009, 11:13pm

And this is in the BodyBuilding section…why?

josh86 · June 28, 2009, 7:22pm

Any of you see this video? Quad tear squatting 545x10 - YouTube Its him squatting 545x10 and tearing his quad on the last rep…fucking intense.

Why shouldn’t it be? Its a video of a good lift being done by a beast of a man with a physique that probably 99% of people on here would strive toward. I’ll take this over another “I weigh 100lbs but don’t have abs, what can I do to get abs?” threads.
