Re: Pump you Up (Pushups)
Great strength for his size? We weren't talking about "for his size," we were talking about his overall strength. Many people think he posessed some superhuman qualities, but in actuality, his strength is average.
How are you saying there are no credible assertions?

Based on his exercise program, it appears
he was of below-average lower body strength. According to the strength
training program Lee used during 1965 (Lee, 1989), he performed squats using
95 pounds with 10 repetitions. This would equate to an estimated 1 repetition
maximum (1RM) of 130 pounds (Wathen, 1994), which would place him below the
25th percentile for the 121-140 pound weight class among adult males

What do you call that? You think the author is making this stuff up?

Lee performed bicep curls using a weight of 80 pounds and 8 repetitions. This
would equate to an estimated 1 repetition maximum of 110 pounds and would
place him in the 100th percentile for the 121-140 pound weight class.

If it is your opinion that the author's claims are without merit and/or evidence.. then I guess we're at a stalemate.
