why doesnt the great khali do powerlifting

[gangers]

you know the great khali the wwe wrestler the big 7ft3 420 pound indian guy.

why doesnt he do powerlifiting he would obviosly win every time so why not???

[Crash49]

He does, He competes in a fed where the only competition is Issac Nessar. There has never been a winner , because niehter misses a lift and the weights just keep going up.

[dbp]

He was a pro bodybuilder for a while. Not sure what his lifts are though. It's probably hard to be that big and bench/squat/dead a whole lot.

A better ? would be:

Why would someone making hundreds of thousands of dollars off his body and potentially millions in the next decade or two(this goes for a lot of elite athletes) want to powerlift.

Its a troubling question for powerlifters but a very realistic one.

When you guys say you DONT want to grow the sport by ridding it of gear and making some of the rules standard/legit this is the obvious downside.....

Im not bashing PLing but there is a flipside to everything.

True. He isn't that big here in America, but his celebrity status is huge in his home country. They treat him like Hulk Hogan in his prime over there.

[PotKettleBlack]

What a ridiculous question, OP... Just because he's a really big guy doesn't mean he'd ''obviously'' win every time, or even at all.

i read an article somewhere where itt said somehting like " khali then proceeds to do heavy sets of 5 on bench press, where he uses an amazing 625 pounds"

Are those serious ''goals'' in your signature?

[KentPower]

I don't think he'd have a big total, considering his size. Looking at him wrestle he can't take a bump, I don't think he can even run. Plus he obviously has very long leverages for squatting.

I'd own him, (in the 198 lb class).

[gangers]

i think the great khali would make a very good powerlifter he can bench 628 pound for 5 sets so imagine what his 1 rep max would be.

Yeah, 375.

You saw this? Or read it? Not only that, even if it were true you have no idea what his squat and dead are. To assume that he'd just win "everytime" is quite ignorant when the guy, as far as I know, has never stepped foot on a platform.

Second, he's making hundreds of thousands of dollars in the WWE. Why would he compete in powerlifting to make a couple of dollars?

if he became the worlds strongest man it would boost his popularity and the wwe would pay him more.

hey check your private messages i sent you a pm.

[PotKettleBlack]

yessir

You're 15... But anyways, why do you want to have so many posts on a forum? So you look cool on the Internet, or what? I don't get it.

[PotKettleBlack]

''If'' this happened, the of course. But I don't think that just because he is massive, which he clearly is, not taking anything away from that, that he this size would automatically indicate great strength.

Do you have numbers that he has put up with any amount of verification, and proof? And even if you do, I'm sorry, but him vs. Pudz... I'm taking Marius every time.

marius has a 1 rep max on the bench press of 606 pounds the great khali can do 628 pounds for 5 reps so imagine what his 1 rep max is.

Khali can't bench that much, that's bull****. That would put him with a max pretty close to the world record, I don't buy that. Has this ever been verified in any way, or is it like all the NFL combine guys that supposedly bench a million and then max out with 16 crappy reps of 225?

[batmanman]

like mark jindrak

If you're gonna quote my post and stuff, at least address the questions in it... We know that Pudzianowski is strong, he's won a bunch of World's Strongest Man titles and has plenty of video footage of training and stuff. So we know his maxes and lifts are legit.

Where is the proof of Khali's insanely strong raw bench press?

im only messing about the post thing pkb lulz

::::::Crickets:::::

What's funny is that the guy thinks because he might can bench that much that he would win a bunch of powerlifting contests AND WSM and strongman events. Last time I checked they did more than see who could bench the most for 5.

bench dont mean ****

[klemme]

there already is a powerlifter in the WWE

mark henry is insainly strong

[PotKettleBlack]

Yes. That's true. Sort of. The part about him being strong is, but I don't think you can call him a powerlifter now, since I'm not sure if he still trains like that or has done for ages.

Oh! That's fine then, since WWE never bills their wrestlers at weights and heights different from the truth, and never exaggerates anything ever...
