[muscledoc1]

He is 295lbs.,stoped competing a year ago in powerlifting(he is a pro)-won the 2005 arnold classic squat-challenge,also held a world record squat a few years back(1058lbs.)-known him since we were 17 from back home(Israel)-always was strong as hell.

Which gym is that in San Diego?
It looks like a World's, but which one?

Yeah,how did you know its in san-diego? -dont know,i'll call him and ask.

That's a hell of a feat. Great vid Doc.

 

[abolish the weak]

That guy is a fucking BEAST!!! 225 lbs for 72 reps is phenomenal!!!! I think I can do like 30,haha

 

[STEVO 47]

Damn, makes me want to take up fishing

 

[eroc613]

He's huge!!!! And holds it well.

 

[natabolic]

ah 72!
Thats good
I find if i go above 15 reps, no matter what the weight, i get fatigued

I've been to that World Gym, I think. Just near the highway. Big fences open to the outside. Jay C, Silvio, and some other pro's were there last year for a physique / beach body contest last year in August...

Plus, that Onn's wearing a Chargers shirt and the guy spotting has a World Gym San Diego shirt on might have lent a clue or two... LOL

Aside from the incredible strength, what's impressive about that is the amt. of endurance he has. Most of the time when monstrously strong guys like that are banging out reps, they hit a wall and drop off like rocks in a pond. He just keeps going and can actually pause to crank out a few more.

Also, he's still got some breath when he's done.

Unbelievable.

[muscledoc1]

Check him out on this one(505lbs. for 3-reps,his record with a shirt is 705lbs.-not the best for a pro-powerlifter his size):

Yeah, that's a GREAT gym... I've trained there maybe a dozen times over the past 8 years or so. I try to hit it whenever I'm in Diego...

Real nice guys at the desk each time and a lot of competitors training there, from what I've seen.

(Actually met up with Dante and troponin there last year at the event I mentioned...)

Wow is all I can say

 

[Physick]

That is just beyond crazy! Whoever said they don't think they could do 135 for that many, I'm with you. Hell I might get tired doing the bar for that many reps!

 

[K1]

i dont think i could bench 135 for 72

I was thinking the same thing

Big boy there!! That is quite a feat!!!

 

[VanR__]

That is incredible.
