  I don't squat,bench or deadlift.
  
  They r too hard for my joints...
  
  I rather do leg extensions,pec decks and sit ups on the Swiss ball...all for 10 sets of 20 reps...

  Remember size and strength are not always related however being 225lbs does help

  I live in Singapore and have a business here.
  
  About the Strongman - depends on my time as I travel alot and have a lot on. I am actually opening my own gym in about 4-5 weeks which is also taking up alot of my time.
  
  If I am here I may just do that.... my friend actually won it last year.
  
  As for only being 225lbs.... I'm working my way back up to 260lb so should be a lot stronger by then I hope... depends on the joints as I'm not as yound as I used to be

  Taufik issit?btw where is the gym?and what will the intended atmosphere be like .Just wondering, you happen to know this big sized bber called Elvin Chang or not.He is also damn strong and can deadlift 5 plates and more as i heard.

  The new gym is located on Carpenter St. There is 2600sqft - not big but a private training facility.
  
  To give you an idea of the equipment I'm getting in... all olympic compitition training plates and bars, lifting plateform, have 5 oversized power racks set up for bands and chains.
  
  The fist lot of dumbbells go up to 50kg, the 50-100kg is going to take a little longer as special order). A full range of kettlebells.
  
  The standard cables systems - rows etc. Also a 4-way adjustable cable crossover.
  
  NO MACHINES!
  
  I wll be posting more information on my website www.optimumperformance.com.sg
  
  As for Elvin - I don't know him but I think I have heard the name.

  Bro OPT,
  
  I am surprised that at a relatively "light" weight of only 225lb you can reach these figures.I thought you are at least 265lb.
  
  I have seen 225lb pro BBs type who only do 1/4 squats for 3 plates...
  
  By the way,how much do you charge for personal training?

  First, I'm not a bodybuilder.
  
  My background is in power and speed related sports (martial arts).
  
  My fees are all listed on my website. Standard fee is $200 per session.

  a body builder won't lift those weights!! hehe
  
  whatever it is...they;re just diff sports with different training motives...one goes for strength e other goes for symmetry...

  By the way,e-stats will always be e-stats.
  
  Someone may post online he benches 120kg but all he does is a 3 inch ROM...then he tells everyone he does 120kg.
  
  Or he can do 120kg benches but with 2 assistants on each plate doing upright rows...
