If you look at where they would fit in a powerlifting weight class today neither one of them would be near top level.

John Haack at 195lbs has a higher total.

Bodybuilding is to build optimal mass not strength.

Fucking killing it dude.

10 weeks of bench program (heavy and often). No drugs, no protein shakes- just food and creatine.

Goal for the next few months = keep most of the strength but give my chest, delts and joints a break.

You’re a strong mf.

How much you weigh?

Ha- not even close!

Fun fact: I used the urinal next to Ferrigno at a Comic Con about 10 years ago. Dude is built like a wall.

10 weeks is a long ass time for strength or power training. Usually you want to deload somewhere after 4-6 weeks of heavy training.

If it were me I would do the deload and then roll into a hypertrophy phase. Lighter weights and more volume. Rebuild some of the muscle damage from the heavy lifting and also time for joints to heal up.

I got put on diet pills from my Dr. I am 285 and keep snoring and hurting myself being fat. Day 3 of no snacks so one day at a time. Hopefully in 3 months I am down ten pounds or so at my next de visit.
