Accessory lifts .

I've heard stories of Coan and Gary Taylor behind the neck pressing 400 pound and I'm sure you guys have heard of others .However I personally witnessed a guy behind the neck press 500 for 2 reps seated wearing only a flimsy bodybuilding style belt foe support . I love this type of stuff does anyone else have other such stories .

I've seen a few good pissing matches on aux lifts..... I remember a few years ago getting stomped in a pissing match on the ab wheel/roller by Ernie Frantz.... A bunch of us were talking shit and trying to outdo eachother.... sets of 30-40-50+..... ernie at or just before 70 years old at that time comes over and bangs out a set of ten on his toes.... as in hands on the ab wheel and the rest of the body in a plank on his toes...... shut everybody up. I got three and bailed LOL.... couldn't hump for a week.

Thanks for the heads up on Ernie Frantz I wasn't familiar with him , guy had a great physique to boot .

I recently watched a video interview with Ed Coan on Starting Strength where he talks about bent over rowing 573 x 2 I know he was a demon on back but thats mind blowing .

Coan was a monster. World Champ in 4 different weight classes and only 1 of 2 people to sumo over 900lbs. He pulled 902lbs @ 220lbs which is just amazing.

Behind neck presses are awesome, just gotta be careful, same with behind the neck pulldowns, a buddy of mines shoulder is completely shredded cause of using too much weight. Sucks.

There's a vid on you-tube of powerlifter Holger Kutroff front squatting 300 kg I don't recall many others doing this

Other freaky shit that springs to mind is big Anthony Clark reverse grip bench pressing over 700 lb and the Barbarian brothers curling 150 lb dumbells .
