Not to bad for a fat powerlifter

[westsideelite]

Im close to 260 pounds in the pic. Im about 5'10 or so. I eat pretty clean most of the time, but drink a lot of beer. Im a powerlifter, right? My best lifts are 1030 squat, 700 bench, 800 deadlift. This is the only cool forum left of the internet. So, thanks for havin me. Greg

[VanTheMan]

Wow man, looking swole, and amazing lifts :)

[StoneGRMI]

I need to drink the kind of beer you drink! Lookin good, man!

[Mike Dura]

you look good but I'm hard pressed to believe you weigh 260 and those #s are impressive if they are true #s.

Im 258 pounds in the morning, 260-261 at bedtime. I compete in the 242 pound weight class. I have the world record in that class. I have totaled 2502 at the Arnold Classic. My name is Greg Panora, I train at Westside Barbell. Feel free to Google my info.

why cant you believe it....the guy looks like a f*ckin tank...why everyone gotta be a hater...

Nice work bro, and i hope Dura googles your name and gets OWNED.....

[jbarkley]

I squatted 1030 yesterday....345 3x counts right? Seriously, Incredily impressive lifts, you look like you could move houses! Welcome to AR!

[Mike Dura]

I said he looked good. How's that hating?

Wow! Unbelievable (that's why I doubted you). It's exciting to have a world record holder on the forum! I'll be looking at your posts for my own edification. Welcome aboard!

[westsideelite]

No problem man. I understand. As bodybuilders/ powerlifters/ gym rats we have become accustomed to be being fed BS on a daily basis. You wouldn't believe the crap I hear every day. I meet at least 10 former world record holders everyday :) Most the time they can't name the 3 lifts in a contest. Anyway, I'm fed up with the crap on other boards and you guys seem real cool. So, its great to be aboard. Any Westside or powerlifting questions u guys have, feel free.

[number twelve]

your physique is exactly what my goals are: strong as f*ck but still aesthetically pleasing

[perfectbeast2001]

Wow, great to have you aboard man. Seriously impressive stats there... And great to see a power lifter who is in shape bigtime. I try and train in the "powerbodybuilding" category so im sure i can think of a few questions to fire at you over the next few weeks!

[Sliceruk]

Nice one bro - i wish I could lift 100 without breaking my back :D

[scottish]

Welcome

[juicejunkie2]

Welcome Greg... very impressive stats indeed.. new meaning to "built like a brick $hit house". We all are glad to have you here with your wealth of knowledge bro.

[thor413]

Looking big and strong....

[therecanonlybe1]

yeah..your a real tub of sh#t...:)

you definately needed no introduction to me bro!!!! ****in rights.
when i first thought about competing in the 242's i did some research and came across you and your absolutely ridiculous numbers..ive seen a few vids of your lifting as well..amazing shit. honoured to have a lifter of your caliber here mayyyn!
a fan,

[Mel1]

Great to have someone like you on board!:1welcome:

U are looking "Weltklasse"!!!!

[westsideelite]

Thanks, I appreciate it. Tank you look big as hell. What are your stats?

[MrNice]

you look like a tank bro, got any other pics?

[1819]

just came across this. very nice. welcome.

[2009camaro]

damn dude... swole as a muh fugga....

[fast]

Very impressive lifts & nice physique for a powerlifter !

[Venomous Nemisis]

Holy Sh1t, Bro those are some really impressive lifts. Welcome to AR, looking foward to reading your posts.

[xraymind]

Crazy numbers and great condition compared to most powerlifters I've seen in my area. Most powerlifters although strong as an Ox dont seem to care about what there physique looks like, but thats JMO for the powerlifters I know in my area.

[westsideelite]

Strength is always number one. But, getting girls is a close second lol. I like to look like I lift weights. Apparently most PL's dont care. That is stupid to me. Check out FLEX mag in 2 months I should have some pics in there. They came to Westside and took some pretty nice pics and did a interview. I told them there better be no Muscletech ads with Jay Cutler in betwwen the article makin me look bad.

[Brent_G]

looking good. Got anymore pics?

[j4ever41]

Impressive #'s, you look great too, that beer must be working.

[greatwhitehunter]

If you weigh 260 and we can see your abs like that you aint fat. Ron coleman weighs like 295 and his abs aren't toned hardly at all. In fact I am unworthy to post this because i'll probably never have stats like yours. I will settle for 400-500 bench. 99.9% of the people on this site can't touch your stats.:asskiss: :wg:

[PeteyK]

hell yeah this is the only good BB forum on the web. everybody here is real cool and a lot of ppl know their sh*t

[kaberle_15]

Looking great, welcome to the board

[westsideelite]

Ill post more pics soon. I have a bench meet on Saturday. I'm not gonna try to make weight, just hit a moderate bench. I'll have my GF take some pics. Off to McDonalds then the bar! Bet u guys are wishin u were a powerlifter lol.

[number twelve]

u dont look like you eat mcdonalds very often lol lookin forward to more pics

[Geeezer]

West lok out for 12,I think he likes you

[PeteyK]

i know u got pics but do u have any video of u training or competing???

[Mista Massive]

incredible lifts dude, looking forward to see your improvements on them

[thetank]

Thanks, I appreciate it. Tank you look big as hell. What are your stats?
thanks brao...my best lifts are 455 and 225 x 52 on bench 500x10/585 on squats..bench was shirted..but ive only used them a few times..and was still kinda gettin the hang of even putting it on..i did all these when i was 21yrs old, then got a really bad viral infection that kept me out of the gym for like 20 months, so im just a few months back training now(just turned 24) eventually if im gonna think about competing again im gonna cut weight...maybe even try to make it into the 198's(im 5'6).
hey just out of curiousity, what do you get when you go to mcdonalds? haha..when me and my bro were trying to hold weight..we had plenty of savage chowdowns in that filthy (yet delicious) place.
anyway thanks for the props man..not that you need it, but best of luck with your upcoming meet!!
peace
tankus

[muscle_20]

Awesome stats mate!
I used to pl also did low 700s in squat low 400s in bench and mid 700s in deadlift at 198lb and i have agree nothing wrong with macdonalds i guess plers just have better genetics or some thing:rolleyes:

[brjrj0000]

damn those heavy squats and deadlifts have paid off on your abs

[brjrj0000]

whats ur cycle history look like

I'm with you here... I've often wondered why some powerlifters act like they don't care about looking good, cause you know it's a lie... everyone wants to look good! I'm all about lifting big and being as ripped as possible!!!

That's awesome that Flex took some time out to check on powerlifting and some of powerlifting's elite... I hope this is a positive sign of better things to come. It's going to take guys like you that lift big and look good doing it to make the sport grow the way we want it to... cause let's be honest we live in a vain culture. Fat powerlifters really do nothing for the sport in regards to reaching out to the public.

Anyway enough of my rambling... I'm stoked out your here! The powerlifting knowledge being passed on to you from Louie is a valuable commodity and I look forward to more of your posts!!!

lol o stopp

[bpm1]

ive got a man crush as well,LOL! dude u r my hero, i had a 405 natty, raw bench,at 205lbs at 22yrs old then i tore my left pec.i was so devistated i didnt lift for 10yrs.my goal was always for a 500plus bench thats something ill never see now. flat bench is so painfull iusually dont go higher than 185lbs and im at 100lb dumbbells for my incline,its the only portion of my pec that is still attached.anyway props to ya, cant wait to learn from you, peace bro! BTW im sure uve seen alot of muscle tears in ur day(not u personally but guys u know)10yrs ago when it happened they said there was nothing they could do as it was purely a muscle tear w/no tendon attached. anyway it tore from the top of my bicept, so have u heard of anyone getting something like that fixed? id go half way around the world to get it fixed if someone could do it.the only reason i ask is it seems they are always advancing in what they can do, thanks for any info u have!

[westsideelite]

Pec tears are a bitch bro. Yeah, Ive seen some bad ones. I admire u for having the balls to come back. Almost everyone at WSB have had at least one major surgery. Anyway, If I can be of any help...

[InsaneInTheMembrane]

Welcome! Great to have someone of your reputation on board bro! Your strength stats are fantastic and trust me, you ain't fat...you've got a good physique to go with your strength... I'll be keeping my eyes out for any training tips you might have...cheers

[PeteyK]

how did that double post? or is it jsut me?

[doolo]

Sweet, a real champ. Nice you see you on these boards

[ironaddict69]

wow dude. yes I HAVE ALOT of questions for ya. you look, simply amazing. perfect build. im 210 now, i want to be 240 and have a similar build. i cant describe it but you looks 5x denser than a bodybuilder, like theres a ton of muscle packed into a still large body but symetrical too. does that make ANY sense? anyway man tell me, how can i get those (my) numbers up!?

[I_Want_Abs]

you look thick as hell man from what i can see in the pics!!!!!
your forearms are ****ing massive!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i dont follow up on powerlifting or even much bodybuilding for that matter but i have always had this image burnt into my head that powerlifters were very thick but less defined with higher bodyfat.... but holy fuc you have just burnt a new image into my brain.

you look ****ing awsome man

[boxer08]

Whats your diet like?

[westsideelite]

Im not sure how that double posted. Anyway, I tend to get real big, then lean out. I dont really diet anymore. Most the guys at Westside dont really diet either. I actually eat a little healthier and get called a "underwear model" because of this. Heres what I ate yesterday to give u an idea.

1. 2 cups of oatmeal mixed w/ splenda and milk, 2 ounces of mixed nuts, large glass of milk.

2. Double chicken breast sub w/ cheese and light mayo, bag of sunchips, diet ****.

3. Double serving of Nitrean protein powder in 2% milk.

4.2 plates of sushi, 1 plate of grilled chicken and steak w/ rice at a Japanese Steakhouse.

5. same as meal 3.

I also had some fruit and sugarfree jello at some point during the day. and a gallon of water, 1/2 gallon of crystal light. My milk intake usually equals about a half gallon. Definetly not a bodybuilder diet, but my needs are different. I tend to lose weight if I eat 6-7 times a day. I train after breakfast. Yesterday I did a 775 pound zercher deadlift w/ a zercher harness. I can barely walk today:) I dont do cardio, but I drag a sled twice a week. It was my day from work yesterday so my girl gave me a couple of extra sessions as well.

[ironaddict69]

ur meals are pretty healthy man. no wonder you look good. im gunna have to assume youve done a cycle or two as well or no? JW as to what they are.

[westsideelite]

Just one, started about 5 years ago lol

[ironaddict69]

o lol ur still on? what compounds man?

[Carlos_E]

why cant you believe it....the guy looks like a f*ckin tank...why everyone gotta be a hater...

Nice work bro, and i hope Dura googles your name and gets OWNED.....
Done.

lol at your "one" cycle

[westsideelite]

Wow, that an old pic. I think that was first comp back after I injured back. Its about 3 years old. Anyway, we take test year round 500-750 mgs/ week. Contest time add the usual dbol, halo, anadrol, plus eq, deca, tren. Nothing real sophisticated, pretty old school stuff.

[ironaddict69]

nice thats interesting. im starting halo soon. how long do u run it and at what dose? what do you see with all those? i dont like test much i dont see a whole lot from it.

[westsideelite]

Halo is great. Dont ask me about dosages b/c I would never suggest anyone take them. Im the kind of guy who is willing to kill myself to get stronger. It makes me ultra strong and ultra aggressive.

[ajfina]

I like u bro u seens like a good guy , best of luck for you :)

[ironaddict69]
