You don't know who method man is? You must be a younginNo idea who that is.
Never said I was the stronkest on earf, just bigger and stronker than you.
Hasn’t he been training for awhile now? I don’t think he’s on anything.
THIS IS THE RED FLAG.
METH WAS A SCRAWNY nikka
ALL HIS LIFE...
DECIDES TO START LIFTING
IN HIS LATE 40S AND NOW
HE HITTING 500.
IT WOULD BE ONE THING
IF HE DID THIS IN HIS PRIME
AND JUST MAINTAINED IT OVER THE YEARS.

Yep that and you gotta limit stress. It's a silent killer and precursor to a lot of problems.
Why would you think Meth had low T?I see he's claiming he's not on TRT!?
is that possible at 50+?
not hating because im going to consider it in a few years.
So does a tall person with long-ass arms.
One of the GOAT pullers was Lamar Gant. Breh was only like 5'2".
But unless you also have super-long arms, being short doesn't really help you, as short brehs usually have short legs AND arms...which is why they're short.

One of the few nikkas ITT that actually lifts (and just so happens to pull way more than 5 hunduns).
Your Height is Your Greatest Strength: Learn How Height Affects Your Deadlifts -
(Image 1: Alora Griffiths/Unsplash) There is an assumption going around that weightlifting is “easier” for shorter people. However, that is not always the case. This is because taller people usually have longer arms which means there’s less stress on their backs when they lift. However, training...

"A deadlift can be more difficult the taller you are due to having to bend more at your hips. You also have to lift the weight a higher distance against gravity than shorter people. As a taller person, you are more prone to injuries during deadlifts because of the extended range of motion."

Yeah he rounded it out instead of driving through his heels/back of legs. You essentially wanna almost pull it back.
98% of dudes couldn't lift that weight even WITH good form. MM could legit hit 600+, maybe even 700 lbs if he works on his legs and form. Seems like a candidate for the 400/500/600 club...Definitely think he can probably hit 4 bills on bench but legs suggest squats are his weakest exercise.
Tall brehs....most Black men in general gotta use a sumo stance because our femurs are noticeably longer than our tibia bone. Asians have short femurs so they can do those narrow stance squats without tipping over. Ankle flex matters but a 6'3" breh needs the wider stance.

He's 51. Men, no matter how high their T is....peak at 19 and then have a steady decline of testosterone. He might have decent levels naturally for his age but it's low compared to 19-year old Meth.
And....if he can put on muscle this easily NOW that means it would have been MUCH easier for him to put on muscle in the 1990s...but he was skinny back then. He would have been swole just doing pull ups and shyt. Getting stronger in middle age is possible but gaining pure lean mass with no fat doesn't happen. The naturally strong brehs at the gym over age 30, always more beefy/chunky. It's kind of like a scaled down version of The Rock. Rock was strong but beefy...not quite chubby when he first joined WWF. He looked natural. Now, he basically lost all his baby fat but retained the muscle mass.
Longer arms make a deadlift travel less distance, not more though.
Longer limbs is only a hindrance on bench, and a wash on squats depending on torso length.
This.
I'm 6'1" with long arms and I was repping 445lb on DL in my regular workouts at 18 after having only lifted for two years. Wasn't taking anything other than creatine and I had a ton of room to improve. If I hadn't torn my ACL playing football I have little doubt I would been maxing something close to 600lbs by the time I graduated. Having long arms sucked for bench but it wasn't a hindrance on my leg lifts at all.
500 lbs on dead lift really isn't all that impressive for anyone who lifts legs regularly with good technique. It's strong but it's not elite or evidence of juicing.
I see he's claiming he's not on TRT!?
is that possible at 50+?

yeah, just use your legs
I’m can 275
5 reps
Not impressive but I don’t wanna go any higher
