Larry Allen Strongest man last year...

[Taz]

does anyone know when larry allen is a fre agent so we can sign him again? will he be to old when the contract runs out?

 

[superpunk]

Don't know who's participating in it, but I'm pretty sure they're having it this year.

Larry wins again.

 

[WoodysGirl]

Larry wins again.

I saw that...

The big fatty, Casey Hampton, was so disappointed.

 

[MetalHead]

Larry wins again.

Thats because Chuck Norris declined the invitation citing his already met goals policy.

 

[Taz]

but if larry didn't go last would he have still won?
anywasy i would love to have allen back no one knows his contract?

He is gone and will not be back until he signs a 1 day contract to retire


Its time to move on

I have competed in powerlifting for years and a 700lb bench should equate into more than 40 225ibs reps.

I think big LA is off the juice.

My best bench ever is 535lb and I have done over 40 reps w/225.

I think roids/GH are being used in todays game than we think.

Over the history of the Cowboys franchise they've always had great conditioned players and strong guys.

I would venture to say that Larry Allen is the strongest man ever to play professional football.

It is interesting that we have had the strongest NFL player 3 times: Bob Lilly, Randy White, and Larry Allen. Not many, if any, teams can make that claim.

Also, they weren't just strong guys, they are all HoFers (Allen will be in on the 1st ballot).

Do not forget that we had La 'Roi (sp?) Glover and he was a hoss.

Aaaahhh, thanks for reminding me. I do believe he won the competition several years ago as well but that's because Allen wasn't participating.

Still, he would rank up there as one of the strongest to ever play.

I was giving you an example to measure how LA is not the same 700lb bencher he once was.
I think roids have a lot to do with it. Anyone involved in strength training would understand my point.
An athlete does not decline this far in strength without something else involved.

Allen won it again this year doing 40 reps, 2nd place was on his heels with 39.

 

[mmillman]

hof first time ballot for sure

what should it equate to?

 

[tunahelper]

what should it equate to?

In 1994 Florida bench press record holder John Maloush did 58 reps.

His one rep max was 725lbs.

I have done 44 reps

I have seen many other people perform this rep range or close and they were not near 700lb bench pressers.

I have more than enough experience here to speak to this as fact.

Something is going on with LA?

In 97, my bro was one of the 50 finalist to be on the espn strong man show. In last few years, Ive been to several meets with him with some of the best lifters in the world. Gene Ryleack benched a 1005, hes a monster. My bro has benched 700 pounds before and he said in his prime he could do at least 50 at 225, if not more. But, he says doing that is stupid and doesnt interest him. I was at the gym with him a while back and he was doing 585. Whenever he wants me to go to the gym with him I go running because I hate spotting him. He never used riods and doesnt use a shirt. Hes way older than me, hes 40 and its amazing he hasnt hit a down cycle. His theory is to stregthen your tendons before you throw alot of weight. If you ever go to a meet, ever lifter has a theory, I must had heard at least 10 over the year. Hes more concern now of squatting 850 pounds than benching. I wasnt there but he said he got 805 yesterday. Anyways, bottom line, Larry is a strong mofo but he would just be one of the guys at these meets.

His 700 lbs lift was 6 or 7 years ago. Perhaps he just doesn't train as hard at lifting as he did back then. He was younger and in overall better shape at that time. Maybe he could do 50 or more 225 lifts back then and right now he probably can't approach 700 lbs. You can lose a lot of strength and muscle mass over that long a time period if you cut back on your training methods. I don't discount the possibility of some kind of performance enhancers, but we aren't talking about him losing strength over a year or two. It has been a while since Larry Allen was in top notch form.
