Well, nothing wrong with pushing yourself to beat your limits and to leave everyone else in the gym looking on in awe… But Kai Greene once said, bodybuilding is not the same thing as weight lifting. A bodybuilder is not concerned with how much weight he can put up… it’s about the end result of a fantastic physique. Some bodybuilders just don’t get that and maybe that’s because they don’t want to be “bodybuilders” in the first place. They just want to brag about how much weight they can throw up and put down.
Check out this video of the best (worst) extreme ego-lifter on the leg press machine. His knees must HATE him! They are like “Please skip leg day! Please…” If knees could talk…
He does manage to get them moving about an inch, which is pretty ‘impressive’ when you consider that he’s moving nearly 3800 lbs with his legs. If you look closely the guy was strapped to the machine with a chain so obviously, this is serious business. New rule: If you tie yourself to the equipment with chains, any sets you flop are forgiven.
