Looks like some pretty good numbers. I am stronger than you, but I am also 3 years older. I would work on your pullups and bench. What is your bodyfat? This might be one reason why your pullups or so low, or because you have to pull more weight than most people. I have redicusuly long arms I can only 12, so I'm not that great either.

Yeah...I was pulling your leg a bit about the pull ups. It's easier when you weigh less. At my last contest, I weighed 141 pounds and could rip off pull ups all day. Now that I have added 20 pounds of off-season body weight, the pull ups are not as easy. And with your weight and baseball22's, you huge guys will always have a problem doing a lot of pull ups. You have a lot of dead weight to lift.
Great Work, Man. You too, Baseball22

strong pull ups for arm length an weight! owned me there! what are your other lifts baseball? how long have you been lifting? have you used gear?
Ive just started doing pull ups recently, done them 3 times now, i finding them a lot harder than chin ups an i seem to use mainly biceps instead of back as they are sore each time an my lats are not
close grip bench i have again just started doing recently, not a good lift for me but hoping to change that - hopefully 300lbs by the end of the year
edit - bodyfat is 12%

Now this is what i like to see
1.Hes big
2.He doesnt use steroids and
3.His numbers are impressive, but not so impressive that we think "yeah hes a roider" or "yeah hes lying"
Well done mate, back a few months back i could do a full max squat at around 345-365lbs, but that was with a belt...without a belt...dunno, i wouldnt like to try it as my back would probably break lol.
Keep up the hard work
baseball, youre 6'8", to be blunt-you have the capacity to weigh a crapload more than ANY member here and still not look like a big beefy bodybuilder, also because of this massive amount of mass-you have potential to become stronger too.
There are negatives to it through having to push the weight further, but the amount of strength more from height you gain overpowers that.
Keep on training.
ON, for someone at your age, and your BW, you managed 30 reps at 225, and 6 sets of 6 reps at 295lbs?
Thats very impressive, i knew youd be strong obviously but i didnt know you were that strong, i never knew you was interested in strength much.

Yes I did. It was part of my just completed Widow Maker Power Workout that I have been keeping a journal about on this site.
I'm not in any sense a power lifter. But, I have been doing some incredible workouts the past few months, that require a lot of 4-6 reps of heavy lifting. I have grown stronger, but my goal is not strength as much as it is size for bodybuilding. I weighed around 135 pounds my first year of bodybuilding. My second year of competition had me at around 140 pounds all season. As I prepare to enter my first Pro Master competition next September, my goal is to step on to the stage at between 150 and 155. No easy task, but the heavy lifting I'm doing is sure helping. I weigh 160 now and I'm using my added weight to work harder in the gym. I'm looking for it to pay of in September.

experience - 1 year 3 months <-- newbie
age - 20
height - 6 foot 5 <--- that is very tall..
weight - 240lbs <-- thats okay for your height if its lean
used steroids? no <-- Must have some good genetics since your a newbie as far as im concerned
>all lifts raw + beltless<
Deadlift - 442lbs <-- odd.. most people do less on this then they do on a squat
full squat - 310lbs <-- really bad concidering your pressing so much more not to mention it doesnt weigh much more then you.
dumbbell row - 142lbs x 17
hammer strength power shrug - 320lbs x 17 <-- this could go up more BTW thats an odd number most would concider you a liar.. who puts on 3 plates and a 2 1/2 lb plate lmao
standing calf raise - 507lbs x 17 <--- 507?? what the hell kind of number is that? Again you sound like a liar...
standing strict press - 150lbs <-- 150lbs? so your telling me again your using a 2 1/2 lb plate?
push press - 200lbs
power curl - 191lbs x 4 <-- 191? im starting to think your an idiot thats not even a possible number on the free weights they dont make 1lb weights or 1/2 lb weights.
close grip bench press - 177lbs x 6 <--- Strange number again
rope crunch - 270lbs x 13 <--- Its on a cable i can understand that
dumbbell side bend - 142lbs x 10 <--- I have never seen a 142 lb dumbell
pull ups - bodyweight x 4
towel grip hold - bodyweight x 58 seconds
Judging by your numbers they are made up or your not using an olympic set but I have never seen any at home weight set hold more then 200 lbs.
You have officially been called a fake

pd81 - cheers man, an nice squatting
old navy - 225 x 30 is pretty badass for anyone, but for someone in there 60's its just awesome

ibendbarbells - leanish year 12% body fat, i have been as much as 262 but was at 18%. I dont consider myself to have any freak genes or owt like that, i was 170 something an pretty fat before training
most people dont do squats to be honest about it, but if they do both deads an squats, deads are usually more but not by much
yeh my full squat is not so good, i never do a true 1rm, another 20-30lbs in the tank on that but its something i need to work on i agree
507lbs is the 180kg stack plus a 25kg plate each side - 230 x 2.2046 = 507.058, rounded is 507
150lbs is a 7.5kg bar plus 8 7.5kg plates plus two 0.5lb locks - 67.5 x 2.2046 = 148.81 + 1 = 149.81, rounded off is 150lbs
191lbs is a 45lb plate, and a 10kg plate (actually weighed 45lbs between them, not 44), an a 45lb bar, plus a 2.5kg lock each side (11lbs between them) - 45 + 45 +45 + 45 +11 = 191
177lbs is two 15kg plates on each side of a 20kg bar, with 2 locks weighing 1lb between them - 80kg x 2.2046 = 176.368 + 1 = 177.368, rounded is 177
142 is a 65kg dumbbell, which is supposed to be 143lbs, but it actually weighed 142
i weigh everything i use (all ya gotta do is bring the scales 1 time), an do not lie about anything to do with this

Ah he beat me to it.
Yeah Kg is messed up when converting to lbs
example being in america the big plates are 45lbs, here they are 20kg= 44lbs, so your 135lbs becomes our 132lbs, then 143, then 154, then 165, then 176, then 187, then 198 etc.
Makes weird numbering

Yeah thats correct although your KG to LB's is a little off it makes more sense to me now. 12% BF so basically your just a big person.
