I enjoy the old time strength athletes too.

For your weight, you're certainly strong...stronger than I ever was.

When I as about 25 years old, and training very hard in Kung Fu, we did a demonstration at a gym. After the demonstration, the manager took a few of us over to a barball with 300 pounds on it (maybe 305). I got it to my knees, barely. One of my fellow demonstrators, got it to his upper thigh.. No, we didn't lift weights as part of our training, and had no technique at all.

The gym manager, did 3 or 4 strict behind the neck presses with it. and slowly set it down.
If I didn't see it, I wouldn't have believed it.

He came to our studio to join us in our class (admittedly, an instructor's class). Half an hour into it, his legs gave out.

Our instructor used it as a way to show our superior training. But he was wrong. If you train with very heavy weights, close to your limit, you get immensely strong. If you stand in low stances for extended periods, your legs get powerful, and fast. Different training, different results.

Your lifts are certainly impressive.

You don't bother with bench presses? Why not?
Those are pretty good lifts.
Keep eating more and more, since you just wanna lift, doesn't matter what crap you eat.

I once trained in a boxing gym on the west coast. The owner of the gym owned a vinyard in Napa and used much of his fortune to travel the globe to find the next HW world champion. He had a very different way of training that didn't pan and and damaged the career of some prospects. It was mostly heavy weight lifting, along with boxing training and short interval sprints. Lots of dietary restrictions and supplements.

I'm 6'5" and at the time I weighed about 250 pounds, which is quite slender for me. Now I feel my best around 275. At any rate, after a stint there I could squat over 600 pounds going all the way to the floor, deadlift around 525 and bench in the mid 300s. Not huge numbers for a big person, but I was proud because I had never been one to lift. I was more of a runner which destroys your strength. In the past, I was always the big guy that could leave every other fighter in the gym while doing daily 5k runs. My PR was 16:48 which I'm more proud of that the weight lifting figures. I learned quickly that powerlifting and fighting do not mix. Others can disagree, but it was terrible for me personally.

I would love to try strongman, but my recovery has become so bad that I just can't recover.

I never had much upper body strength - but now that I'm 60, I find I can handle rocks in the field that are 4 times the weight I could ever get into the rig before. I just act as a guide for strong younger guys and when I find a boulder that's too big, I just point and say "I want that one".

Sometimes creativity and barter works better than muscle.

What's the point of lifting weights? Seems rather dumb waste of intelligent life to me.

I handle my junk, at least twice a day.
