Q: What are the dimensions of the largest male raw bodybuilders you know?
A: I'm 6'2", 235 lbs., Bernarr Zovluck is 5'10", 220 lbs., and Scott Brodie is 5'11", 205 lbs. Scott has squatted 835 lbs., deadlifted 760 lbs., and benchpressed 457 lbs.
Q: Are you personally stronger now than when you were a cooked-food eater?
A: I can say that I'm at least twice as strong now as I was when I was eating a Standard American Diet. I used to benchpress 300 pounds three times, now I can bench that weight twenty times. That's a huge improvement in brute strength. On a burnout set, I used to benchpress 135 pounds forty times, now I can bench that weight well over one hundred times. That's a huge improvement in muscular endurance. I also find that I need little or no rest between sets of exercises now.
That's Stephen Arlin talking. 300 pounds for 20 reps is pretty damm good. Actually that's far better than almost any professional football player at any weight as an example, while Arlin is only 6'2" 230.
Got to find more on these guys.
