Legit deep! Let's keep it that way.

I actually think him standing there that long and then crushing it made it that much more impressive. The pressure your body feels from that much weight is insane!

Awesome work. Does that beat Sumners record? Similar lifts across the board. Good luck to the guy and hope he can get to IPF classic at some point.

Look at them quads.

At the meet he asked for 1000, but they didn't have enough 100lb plates. 905 was all they could fit on the bar.


"Gregor, of All Things Gym fame, shared the post on Reddit, and we had a few dozen forums also link back to the story. In fact, a couple Redditors were so impressed by the story that a new bar and several 100lb plates are on their way to Ray’s gym, so that he can start working that linear progression to like, a million, give or take."

amazing.

Whoa. His routine. Check out squat day. Imagine maxing out your bar at your gym! Holy Moly.

Do you follow a specific training schedule or program?
I try to focus on the core lifts, not so much on the auxiliaries. My week looks like this:
Monday – Deadlift, all sumo from the floor.
Tuesday – Squat, usually it looks something like this:
315×5
405×1
500×1
600×1
700 5×5
I want to work up to 5×10 at 700 because the gym I work out in, the bars aren’t long enough for more weight, that’s all I can get on there. Whatever I can get on there, I can’t let myself get comfortable with it, so I’m trying to add reps every week since I can’t add weight.
Wednesday – Bench Press:
Right now I don’t bench enough for my bodyweight, so I have to get to where I can rep 450 comfortably for 5 reps for multiple sets. I do multiple sets of 5 until I’m comfortable with a weight. I strained something in my arm and right shoulder and if I get out too wide, it hurts, so I try to keep my grip narrow.
Thursday – Rest
Friday – This is for all my auxilary work that make me better on my core lifts. My favorites? Curls and Tris! I’ve done biceps and tris every day for the last few weeks. I have to get my arms up.
Saturday – I just go in and loosen up and do a little cardio.
Sunday – Rest

Talk about basic. Hard to believe he got so strong this way. Where's his wobble board work? I mean come on, no box squats? No fancy rep schemes? How's he gonna sell this to the masses?

Sarcasm alert!!
