Thought I would give you some more Pat casey info. Pat trained at Sterns gym here in San Diego under the legendary Leo stern. the picture of him on the narrow bench was taken in sterns by Leo. the weight set is one of two russian sets that the gym had. the picture of him using the 200 plus pound dumbells was also taken at sterns and again the picture was taken by Leo. pat never needed a hand with those bells. just grabbed em and pressed em. pat did 400 pound seated military press. btw- Bill pearl trained at sterns as well. he was coached and managed by leo ( lived in leos house across the street from the gym ) I trained at sterns for over 30 years and was a personal friend of leos. the gym is still there. lots of old timers there remember pat casey.
absolutely amazing! it seems like yesteryears bodybuilders and powerlifters was much stronger and in better condition without the drugs, a lesson learned for today's athletes!!!
The pics with the chromed plates and huge dumbbells were taken at "Stern's Gym" in San Diego. I used to train there. The gym is still there on Grenada St in the North Park section.
The dumbbells at my gym go up to 150. Ever so often I will grab them and just hold them or do a little bit of a farmer's walk just to feel that weight in my hands. There is no way I could press those even one time. To think that this man could add 75 pounds to each one of those weights, lie back on an incline bench and press them for reps is absolutely unfathomable to me. I dare not even fantasize that I could do that. Amazing!
Well it just shows, body building is one thing and makes you look good but real power comes is wierd sizes sometimes. That old guy with a portly gut and not so sculptured arms and legs still had the exceptional genetic muscle efficiency that is not for show but rather pure brute power!
My friend Joel De Marco trained with Pat and Competed with him he was the spotter on some of pats big bench press .. pat also trained with west side Barbell Culver City.. they helped him with his squats..
I'm really getting into your videos Josh. I've followed you on EliteFTS, but didn't know you have a channel. I really like the oldschool lifters videos. Keep it up.
I lived in Seal Beach, CA and never knew he worked for the police dept located on Seal beach Blvd across the Naval station. Just some details in case people think Im making this up.
Does band benching help raw lifters I keep raising all my band maxes and then when I go to straight weight I keep failing my previous pr in starting to think it doesn't help me much
Can play a small role that you most likely have overdone. SO I'd cool it with the bands, if they are no longer transferring drop em for six months and see what happens
This dude must've had steel cables for tendons.
The old school guys are just awesome. They trained hard with much less drugs and were way more impressive it not even closed.
Mr. Casey must have been the baddest ass 4 year old of all time! " Born July 15, 1939" , " 1943 discovered Redpath's gym".
I was Pat's Sergeant on the Huntington Beach Police Department back in the day. He was one of the best cops I ever met. D. Klopp HBPD Sgt. Ret.
His elbow is below the bench at the bottom. Most world class benchers aren’t even close to that kind of ROM.
Very impressive!

Bill Pearl said that he used P.E.D.`s back in the 1950 `s . Do you remember if Pat Casey and the other guys did as well ?
absolutely amazing! it seems like yesteryears bodybuilders and powerlifters was much stronger and in better condition without the drugs, a lesson learned for today's athletes!!!
