Tom of Iowa2 Posted June 7, 2003 Share Posted June 7, 2003 Anybody want to give us technologically deprived a description of what just happened! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smitty Posted June 7, 2003 Share Posted June 7, 2003 Seriously, I have never seen such a display of strength....ever. Dropping 320 lbs from an overhead lockout down to a zercher, that is freaking awesome.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldGuy Posted June 7, 2003 Share Posted June 7, 2003 As I have said before, I am not aware of any drug free lifter in the world who is stronger than Chris James. He also helps to confirm, that oldtimers like Saxon, Goerner and Apollon could do the things that many of us have come to doubt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jett Posted June 7, 2003 Share Posted June 7, 2003 MY GOD...... ummmmm... great job!!! *steps back slowly* You truly are a monster! Description: It was a C&J of 320 on a two inch bar, when he had it above his head he threw his right hand to the center of the bar and balanced it for a brief moment.... if he had centered it better im sure it would have been longer. Then drops it down and cradles it into a zercher hold and drops it into his waiting alternating hands THEN lets it down. Dropping the weight to the floor from above his head was a feat in itself!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Walker Posted June 7, 2003 Share Posted June 7, 2003 Chris- Thank you for that. It was awesome. Step the bar up-from one drug free lifter to another. Rick Walker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Black Posted June 7, 2003 Share Posted June 7, 2003 Awesome Chris. Yes, if you had gotten your hand in the center you could have balanced it a long time. Who's that guy in the background? Funny, he seemed real casual about the whole thing until you went to hold the bar with one hand, then you were freaking him out! I wish you had jerked our rule 5 chain for a couple of hours. Would have made everyone think if you described that lift first without posting the video. It has to be seen to be believed, regardless of the source.

Matt Van Weele Posted June 7, 2003 Share Posted June 7, 2003 I heard of Hermann Goerner doing something like that with the same type of bar and weight. I read he dropped it like that and didn't think that was possible. Chris I've not seen many feets of strength in person thiugh I have seen ones on Cyberpump though like the one of Mark Henry playing with the inch but handling that bar like that is just plain awesome!

Tyrannosaurus Dave Posted June 7, 2003 Share Posted June 7, 2003 There is an account of Goerner doing a similar feat with a 150 Kg thick handled barbell, which the editors of Strength and Health thought was ridiculous. If they had seen this video, it wouldn't have seemed so farfetched. Chris's easy clean is absolutely amazing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Horne Posted June 7, 2003 Share Posted June 7, 2003 Chris, That was bloody great!!!! Keep 'em coming! If you had a centred the bar better, you certainly would have held it longer. Oh, and the guys face was a gem! But what's even more scary is the fact that this looked too easy. There is another 50lbs there!!!!!!!!!!!! Once again, well done, David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazza Posted June 7, 2003 Share Posted June 7, 2003 Chris You are the Strongest DRUG FREE lifter i have ever seen,and i,ve seen a few. You are the Real Thick Bar Daddy,no disrespect to Big Steeve,but you can do so much more with thick bars. I hope Mr.Goerner is looking down saying thankyou Chris for helping keep the oldtime lifts and feats of strength alive Lets see some more Big Fella,as i no that you practise the Goerner and Apollon lifts. For those that dont know that bar is similar to an Apollons Axle used in the worlds strongest man comps,poundage is up there with the best and Chris is DRUG FREE and probably giving away 50-100lbs bodyweight. What enables such raw power DRUG FREE,is 15-20 years of GUT BUSTIN workouts and a never quite ETHIC. Once again congrats Big Fella,your dues are comeing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
