Smoking increases his lung capacity so it’s all for a reason!

Smoking is a goddamn national sport here in Germany it seems…
Same as for suffering from Diabetes and Cancer.

His wife could definitely beat my ass.
I met Jay Cutler this past summer. He was a nice guy, but with a handshake like a kitten’s.
Though I’m sure he could’ve picked me up and thrown me around Bam-bam style if he’d wanted to.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but kittens don’t have hands. Whatever you shook hands with was not a kitten. I’ve heard of people having encounters with a race of creatures that are half-man, half-kitten - they are known as ‘Mittens’…

No, just everything about him that I’ve been exposed to. He’s an abomination to bodybuilding and the human form and THE example of what happens when you pump your body full of shit in some misguided effort to get larger than humanly fucking possible.
The burping/farting in front of everyone (in public, in front of his gf/workout partner, the poor bastard applying the spray tan, etc.) is funny once or twice, but after a while you just get the impression that he’s a gurgling, festering, witless, discourteous mass of useless disgusting flesh.
For what it’s worth: He is a rather nice guy in person.
And he can do 700+ on smith front presses/militaries with a super-wide grip for a double… Beat that 
[/quote]
their is no way he can military press 700 plus on a smith.
id say the most he can mil is 405 for a max freeweights.

It’s a smith high-incline/military with the widest possible grip. Seated.
And yeah, look at Jeremy Hoornstra… Who trains like a bodybuilder, competes in bodybuilding and has benched 700 raw, touch and go in the gym and and 615-675 in competition or so in the 242lb weightclass.
But hey, no bodybuilder could ever raw-bench more than most powerlifters deadlift, right?
Seeing as how you have all of 4 posts on here and your own numbers suggest that you are a complete beginner… Maybe you should consider that other people may know a bit more than you and gasp may be lifting a bit more as well?

oodles of fail ^
This is really an exercise that needs to be introduced to the wider public, Smith or free weight or whatever.
I know lots of guys have trouble with overhead pressing (I sure did) and it’s a movement that allows you to use superior leverage with stupid amounts of weight to build bigger, stronger shoulders in a fraction of the time it would take otherwise.
I worked out a wonky solution with a 0-90 incline bench and my power rack, and I’ve just been fucking around for the past few months, usually with not enough protein in me…and between this exercise and a couple sets of side laterals my shoulders have never been bigger or stronger.
Someone who cycled this exercise with a few others (strict DB press, push press, power squat push press etc) over a number of years would be able to build a truly retarded amount of mass and strength in the shoulder girdle…which is exactly what Ruhl has done.
Is it equivalent to a free weight strict standing military press? Of course not. But he’s not training for that. He’s training to get (in his case, stay) fucking huge, and in order to get fucking huge you have to train for it.
Doesn’t matter WHAT you do, as long as it works for your body type and you bust your ass.

yes a 275 bench and 415 deadlift at 6’2 170 and 19 really signifies im a beginner.
my number dont matter, its all about knowledge about the sport. ronnie coleman is undoubtebly the strongest bber alive today, fuck jackson. ronnie only mils 315x12 (and those are 1/4 reps. a smith machine doesnt add 400 pounds to your lifts.
i cant smith military press 500 pounds but i can bench 275. i doubt ruhl can press more than 450 so why would ibelieve he can smith military press 700 fucking pounds.
also thats gotta be pretty stupid using the widest grip possible shoulder injuies loi.
