regardless the man is a powerhouse.. 600 pounds is 600 pounds thats is alot
He is not as fat as he used to look so who knows..
IronMan said:What looks like fat is actually solid.
I doubt Hughes is pressing more that twice his body weight.
that is true alot of powerlifters do not have the defined muscle most associate with strength. look at alot of the strongman competitions these guys look fat in the majority but really it is mostly muscle. They just do not cut the fat like other athletes and such so you do not see the defination they actually need that little bit extra to last as long as they do.
OK this is not a crack or nothing. Just not sure if you have done any lifting like that. when you get to the bottom there like he was what he did is put it to his chest then use the flex of his chest to help push it back up. This is called bouncing it as well. in most cases if you do not do this with amounts of weight like this you get stuck though you need to be careful cause you can crack ribs or crush your chest. it basicly helps to just get some momentum going until your chest muscles can contract pushing the weight the rest of the way up.Rush said:Well, he almost dropped it on his chest how did he rapidly bring it back up? I mean he must be one of the best arm wrestlers if he could do that to 600 pounds with his arm.
oh I do give credit that is impressive bounce or not... thoughsome weight lifting purists discredit lifts with the bar touching the chest.. either way I think even they would respect 600lbs
is it any less beleivable then Rickson Gracies record?IronMan said:Tank claims to hold a 445-5 streetfighting record, and it's examples like this that make it believable.
Ricksons record is probably overinflated just like Tanks thats what I am getting at.. How old is Rickson anyway, he has to have been fighting at least once a month for over 30 years to have a record like his,doublelegtakedown said:Well idk what your getting at but rickson was the best ever. the bambino of baseball, gretzky of hockey, phil mickelson of golf (lol<<).
Glaldy, I just do not know how to contact him...IronMan said:You'd have to ask Tank. I wouldn't, but I guess you'd have to..................good luck with that.
Wilt was a great player in a sub par league for the most part not to take away from his feat it is still impressive but he was very overpowering to the people in the league he was in at the time.Rush said:Theirs a lot of crappy fighters in mixed martial arts that have good records with almost 50 wins like Ricksons 500 and Tanks "400 win street fight record". Kris Ratheormel if 40-5 and he blows, Travis WIuff is 40-9. You see where I'm getting at. A lot of fighters have over inflated records even the crappy ones. And Rickson is not the Gretzky of Hockey or Chamberlain of Basketball. He is the greatest but don't compare with Chamberlain. Chamberlain is the greatest, most dominant athlete ever.
You know that is true.. regardless of how good the league Wilt was in And he was bar far the best player or one of the best players in it at the time... THere is video proof of him scoring 100 points in one game.. So yea your right you Can't compare him to Rickson, Rickson should be compared to Tank and his record...IronMan said:Why are we comparing Rickson and Chamberlain? Everyone saw Wilt score 100 points, not one has confirmed Rickson's record. Rickson's own father says that his record is crap.
