Max is a friend of mine he trained at Golds but now is over at Bev's Powerhouse in Syosset and he physique took off from there. But those lift numbers are real but lacks ROM on every movment he does. Those "shrugs" looks more like a seizure as the bar goes no where. He trains funny but is a great guy and still strong as hell. He used to have no legs at all but he made alot of improvements from his first show.

I never seen him eat so I really dont know. lol But I have seen him train. Ive seen him train legs too and I'm shocked that his legs look the way they do. He would have the whole leg press filled with 45's, 2 guys standing on top, knees wrapped, and rep it with a 2 inch ROM while using his hands. As for the 20 exercises unless he was in the gym for 2 hours before I would go his workouts were short and heavy. I havent watched the vids yet but now I'm interested in seeing what he has to say. I do not see how you can hold that much muscle on 3 meals.

saw this yesterday, this guy is an attention whore, but without a physique to back it up. michael lockett if i remember correctly also claimed he was a natty. atleast he had a good physique.

this guy does like 1/10 of the rom of the movements and then walks around thinking he can claim all sorts of megalifts:49: ridicolous... would love to see that 500 lbs bench for 10 reps he was talking about...
