Is this AM's training partner?

[Primo Max]

Holy shit! I really have nothing else to say. This is one of the two brothers that you train with or used to train with isn't it AM.

Damn, that's ridiculous. I don't care how much juice you take or whatever, that takes a lot of work and a lot of genetics. I'm not sure if I have ever seen anyone look like that before...that is Exhibit One for what a "powerlifter" looks like.

Yep, that's one of my training partners. Also, he benched 680 Saturday and will be going for 700+ in a couple weeks in his first meet back since getting lean.

Pretty good discussion in that T-mag thread.

It's also a good example of just how much weight "most" have to lose to get lean. I guarantee, that although he looks larger in those lean pics, it was killing him inside knowing how much smaller he truly was.

It's also a testament to some of the smaller guys who want to be "big and ripped". You have to get the big first, carry that weight for a minimum of 6 months. Then go after the ripped.

I was wondering how long it would take for those pics to make it over here.

 

[J DUB]

Yeah, I bet he felt like a bitch at 260 and ripped! I know I do at 195 since cutting, but I hope that guy still realized he was by no means small. I guess his XXXXL shirts might not have been as tight.

 

[CyniQ]

In the "ripped" pics, his waist looks very small. But he must have a very large frame. Look at the way he carries his weight at 320. Not many people carry 320 that well.

AM can clarify for sure, but I really dont think he feels like a bitch at 265-275. He is still nearly as strong as when he was 50 pounds heavier, but much healthier. I saw him last weekend and he looks incredible.

CyniQ, hes 6 foot. I would say that he has a normal sized frame/bone structure; not small, not large.

 

[J DUB]

To be honest, he needs to make some money off that physique. There are probably a lot of companies that would like to have that guy in their ads.

Bob, you're probably right. I guess if you're 260 you're still way bigger than anyone else, so it's hard to feel too weak.

Especially when you are still one of the strongest men on earth.

I wouldnt be surprised if he and his brother both get some sweet sponsorship deals.

Well. The guy has done some unbelievably impressive things with his body. Inspirational to say the least.
