That would do it.... Should be a different class then. This oke will always take it.

I reckon they should add bodyweight squats next year...

I reckon these types of compo's are bullshit for the bigger guys. like myself my weight is 100kg my bf is around 12% to 14%. My max bench is 120kg excluding the bar so with the bar it would be around 135kg and I get about 6 reps. I guess at 100kg I could push out 10 to 12 reps. How the fuck did some guy bench 53 reps his body weight. The only way I see that happening is if the guy weighs like 50kg or something.

They had a bench press comp tonight at the kzn novice... Guy who won pressed 60kg for 29 reps. Skinny little fella. I managed 22 reps of 84kg...

just popped in at game and saw Andrew Hudson for the first time, he is a beast of a man! Max rep so far was 74kg for 31reps

Yup, he is at 130kgs at the moment... Hany rambod recons he is gonna be the next steve kuclo...

Yeah, saw him from at a side view, has monster shoulders and arms!

2010 world champs, i dunno,hows that conditioning

daaaaaam!! :pinch: he looks absolutely amazing !! do you know what he competes at dj?? its awsome what the human body can do, from seeing him at the show (im guessing off season weight) to the above pics, :whistle:

Now thats Ripped and Bone Dry...Our next IFBB Pro Ladies and Gentleman.

look at Leslie in the background haha.. looking a little mid heavy

those pics where 99.8kgs, he is at 130 kgs at the moment,working with hany rambod,16 weeks out,i think he will be about 119kgs on stage this year.

roughly 10kgs a year, :whistle: , will def be keen to see him on stage! whats in 16 weeks? the kzn provincials dj?

Question....

How strong can someone get naturally? I know a lot depends on genetics...
But rough ideas? benching body weight? body weight x 2?

how long is a piece of string..

Not being a dick but ya the above applies.


(gonna make a macro for that one)

DJ how does those cotracts work? Do they sign up for a year or do they use them per contest prep? Also, what would the ballpark figure be for a contract like that?
