It indicates a certain level of fitness, without focusing on fitness. In my, yes my opinion, if you can’t run a 7 minute mile you need to re-prioritize your goals. And for reference, I weight between 255-260 and can do that with ease. I respect other peoples opinion if they disagree, but that’s why I made the thread, to see who does fit my mold. However with all the babbling and insults, I feel my point has been lost. Sigh.
WTF? I doubt most of the guys on the Mr. O stage can run a 7 minute mile…so they should all re-evaluate their goals?
You are also tall as hell. And, just so you know, at 250, it isn’t like you may not experience problems in the long run from running when it comes to joint issues. My knees were fucked in the military from that…so sorry, no running. I guess I need to “re-evaluate”.
Also, 225 on a bench press is NOT “intermediate”. If you aren’t hitting that within a couple of years of serious training, you may not be cut out for this. I doubt someone that takes more than half a decade to hit that weight will ever come very close to 405 and above.
I think your idea of strength is retarded. Besides the fact that 315 squat/deadlift for 10 isn’t anything big, your concept that all powerlifters are in poor health is moronic at best. There are some people that just aren’t ever going to be decent runners yet may be much better at other activities.
I surpass all the “top level” requirements. Does that mean I should stop?? If those are standards to aspire to, then you need to start dreaming bigger.
#1) Those lifts aren’t strong. I wouldn’t even consider a 225x10 bench intermediate. Same goes for the other lifts. The goal should be to obtain those lifts within a year or 18 months depending on how strong you are when you start.
#2) How fast you run a mile has nothing to do with strength in the context of a bodybuilding site. Shit, even vertical jump and 40 times would’ve been a little closer but still off the mark. Why you chose mile times is beyond comprehension.
#3) Your comment on injuries shows ignorance. So if I have an injury that prevents me from deadlifting, I should focus all my rehab and efforts to be able to deadlift? Yeah, I’ll think I’ll pass on that an substitute exercises that don’t re-injure my lower back.
i think akuma would look quite different from a ‘demigod’ after trying to hit a 7min mile[/quote]
Having a rib through the lung and decreasing one’s lung capacity greatly will have an affect on one’s desire to run. SO yea, i cant run a 7min mile. You get a gold star, ya dick.
