This is quite motivational video. I want to be in that shape in my 60ties. I am 26 and after a tough year I just got to 120 DB bench, so watching someone of your age doing it with ease is very nice :).
But like other might have asked, why dont you do full repetitions? Something with elbows? But it is still impressive.
powskier, do you actually think Mike gives a shit about double snatches and front squats? At 67, he is in tremendous shape. Give the guy some credit, that's more weight than most people will ever lift in their lifetime. Good job Mike! Keep em comin!
Yes, better than nothing, I guess but its the bench press a terrible exercise. Can he do front squats with those dbs for that many reps? How about double snatches with those? He definitely should be able to, if your upper body is that strong. If not, he needs to back off the upper body crap and concentrate on the legs and core to allow your body to catch up so he will be a balanced athelite.
@powskier Upper body isn't crap, you should do both equally. Benching isn't shit, it is i great exercise for the chest, may not be as good as a chest fly or pushups, but its not terrible,
Mike Brown wrote The Strength of Samson Diagnostic Bodybuilding and a couple more books. He has been in bodybuilding and fitness for about 35 years or so. From what i know of him, he is a bible scholar that applies Gods hints on training and life from his studies.
If this is the Mike I think it is, he his an old Iron Warrior and its good to see him still pushing it around.

Not sure what you mean by "shoulder press." Press behind neck? Seated dumbbell press?
Will do inclines when I get my graduated incline bench perfected, current benches only allow you to adjust the angle of the incline 12 to 15 degrees at a time, mine will allow you to increase in 3 degree increments (in order to work the arms and chest more thoroughly for greater growth).
Be patient, you will. Got 7 reps with the 115s yesterday, should be moving back up to the 120s next month (injured myself doing a different exercise). Never did them in my prime (in 40s) but did do a 375 bench press with a barbell. Mike
Crazy perhaps, but on steroids, never. Too many unpleasant side effects, not to mention that the average competitive bodybuilder (who uses the junk) is dead at the age of 55.
is dead at the age age of 55 lol? arnold is 62 and silvester stalone 63 and he are all good, but yes steroids is the easy away for doing it, hard away is the best, continue
I apologize for my first comment, its hard for me to believe however everything is possible. I'm just about Mike's numbers and I am less than half his age.
is this master roshi?
