If you could hold the world record in one exercise, what would it be?

**Heisman** · 05-12-2004, 04:54 PM

It's pretty self explanatory. I would want the world record in the deadlift.

**Big Nes** · 05-12-2004, 05:24 PM

I'd wanna hold the record in World's heaviest "Rotator Cuff external rotation"!!!!!

intense

**sal8050** · 05-12-2004, 05:56 PM

Bench press (with feet on bench & not on floor).

**dookie1481** · 05-12-2004, 06:14 PM

The Penis Deadlift. I saw it in Penthouse. Some dude pulled like 350 lbs tied to his ****. No really, the Snatch.

LOL. I knew I forgot something.

You could probably do it if you trained hard for it. I don't know anyone who goes all out for rotator cuff strength.

Why feet on the floor? You would have a better shot with feet on the bench, but this is all hypothetical, so why?

train EVERYTHING for mass baby, R/C is no different!.

GRRRRR!!!!!

*DISCLAIMER* : I will not be responsible for anyone suffering a torn subscapularis while challenging me to the world's strongest external shoulder rotation record.

**15u** · 05-12-2004, 11:05 PM

deadlift

**Need 2Whey more** · 05-12-2004, 11:08 PM

Deadlifting....................... an SUV.

That would be the Jerk and Clean.

**Jcfreak_02** · 05-12-2004, 11:49 PM

Bench has always been my strongest exercise, I like it the most. Then again I have not yet learned proper dead lift or cleans.

Start learning. Cleans are fun to do and deadlifts are great for overall strength. Cleans are much harder to learn and more dangerous when performed incorrectly. Deadlifts are relatively easy to learn.

I want the first 600lb C&J. Abilility to take more iron off the floor and hoist it overhead than most pro bbers can deadlift.

**raza301** · 08-13-2010, 12:07 PM

good old bent over rows

**Scoundrel** · 08-13-2010, 12:15 PM

C&j

**codordoa** · 08-13-2010, 01:10 PM

Deadlift. Just because.

**MJAffliction** · 08-13-2010, 01:13 PM

Snatch!

**mtrx804** · 08-13-2010, 01:25 PM

would be kinda cool to be able to squat couple thousand lbs

**the-craig** · 08-13-2010, 01:34 PM

Squat, although deadlift was a close 2nd.

**viperjax** · 08-13-2010, 01:47 PM

Can't believe more aren't going for the c&j. It's a no brainer. If you have a world record in that your front and back squats are going to be elite, as are your bench and presses. That and you have the athletic carryover of world class explosiveness and cns efficiency (you know, what actually makes you money).

**tha_deuce** · 08-13-2010, 01:52 PM

i think the clean a jerk is the best all around exercise for raw strength imho. something about picking up 600 pounds off the ground, squating atg and lifting it up, then pressing it overhead is gat damn amazing!

edit: and raw of course. no pansy lifting suits an knee wraps an $hit

**400Lb Gorilla** · 08-13-2010, 01:56 PM

i put bench but any one of them would be cool

atleast with bench you would have the ultimate answer to "How much you bench?" lol you could ALWAYS say "More than you"

**keys_10** · 08-13-2010, 02:39 PM

It's a no brainer Clean and Jerk.

Ultimate test of strength to pick a weight up and hoist it over your head IMO

glad to see someone else in my boat

i mean aside from direct chest involvment, clean and jerk works the back, bis, legs, shoulders and tris. pretty much a complete body workout and explosive strength. hence why i would never mess with a 300 pound nfl lineman

**Squinky** · 08-13-2010, 03:10 PM

Majority of weightlifting is about technique. Weightlifters only have strong legs. Weightlifting tests your speed strength, not your maximal strength.

Now when we have this crap out of the way we don't have to return to it again in this thread.

I agree. its the best combination of strength, technique, balance, stability and coordination imo.

seen this clip thousands of times, and it still gives me goosebumps;

**musicianman** · 08-13-2010, 03:19 PM

Deadlift. Something about lifting more weight than anyone in the world can lift off the ground is appealing to me.

Close-second is the squat.

In five years, I might say the clean and jerk.
