:wtf:

i think its shopped....none the less...that guy is freeky!

looks like a bunch of tumors. :/ ewwww

ok thats just wrong.....:wtf: :bsflag:

actually, they might be implants. body builders have been experimenting with implants lately (usually the calves, shoulders and bi's) and even tho it cuts down on workoout time, it's freakin' ugly!

actually that guy is for real....I remember seeing him in a flex magazine one time...he calls himself freak of nature....I think he even has a video of himself out for sale

For a freak he sure seems to be straining with that 55lb'er....

I can not even BEGIN to imagine why ANY human being would want their arms to be deformed like that....geeeeez. that guy needs his head examined. :(

Honda Owners :knob:

LOL :laugh:

Someone had to say it!

Zu's right - he is for real. He's got a video for sale and everything.

Just FYI - just cuz you have huge muscles doesn't mean you can lift inhuman amounts of weight.

There's little correlation between muscle size and amount of liftable weight. It's all in how you train those muscles that they'll either be strong and huge or equally strong but lean.

Fun with idiots LOL

I'm not too sure about that. Muscle size is directly related to strength. Here is a good little atricle about it.
Howstuffworks - Muscles

Since that dude has huge amounts of muscle in his arms, he should be able to curl a massive amount of weight. Since he probably works out everyday, and is clearly ripped, it's fair to believe his muscles are fairly lean and trained to lift weight.

I think I know you you mean though. Just because some guy has big arms or legs does not mean he can lift a lot of weight. It totally depends what condition the muscles are in. Someone with huge weak muscles may lift less than someone with small strong muscles. But when you get a dude with huge, strong muscles, watch out, that guy can lift weights!

Yup - it's all in how you train them.

Goin from memory here, but in Arnolds Bodybuilding Encyclopedia, there's 2 ways you can train your muscles - Endurance training or Strength training.

Easiest comparison -
Olympic powerlifters have HUGE muscles, but can only lift extreme weights once or twice before their muscles are spent. These guys do Strength training. Basically they do a small rep count with really high weight amounts. It shocks the muscles into getting huge in order to lift the really heavy weights, but they don't have enough energy to maintain that strength over anything longer than a short time.

Bruce Lee was an endurance trainer. These guys lift weights that allow them to have sets with reps around the 20 mark before their muscles fail. This type of training allows the muscles to be potentially just as strong as a powerlifters (for one or two reps), but their size remains much smaller to maintain the endurance.

That's why average benchmark for weightlifting is 12 reps / set. It allows the 'best of both worlds' when it comes to strength training.
