Canadian bodybuilder’s eating challenge videos
Peter Czerwinski (DedicatedForLif/FuriousPete123), winner of the most recent video based eating contest on bodybuilding.com, has uploaded some videos of his eating challenges to his youtube page (page 2). He has eaten a 72 ounce steak in 12 minutes and a 106 ounce steak in a half an hour. Most recently, he attempted to consume 25 cups of rice (he managed to finish 18).
In another international steak eating challenge video, a blonde woman consumes a large steak of unlisted size in Argentina.
And in another bodybuilding / competitive eating video, Juris “Dr. Big Time” Shibayama has uploaded a video of him bench pressing 500 pounds.
update In more Dr. Big Time news, he says that his Wing Bowl stunt suggestion has been accepted and he will attempt it on January 8. The person he talked to at WIP did not mention any geographic restrictions for Wing Bowl 16 stunt attempters, so non-Philly residents who want to compete might consider submitting a stunt request. I have not been able to find any online Wing Bowl 16 rules.

……and the USPF judges give the lift 3 RED FLAGS. You started lowering it too soon after the hand-off and didn’t pause on the chest. But it was a good gym lift nonetheless.

That video of the blonde woman….wasn’t that the description of a movie starring Ron Jeremy called “Eveater – Please Cry for Me, Argentina”??

Unfortunately, now we’re going to have to watch a video of Mike Landrich benchpressing something, and probably Kevin Ross too.
Thank God that Chip Simpson is humble enough that he has stayed out of this whole stupid debate!

Wow, and it didn’t look like he was struggling that much. Juris, what is your all time max press?

The quality of some of these videos are extremely poor including the 500lb press . The bodybuilder eating the 106oz steak is somewhat dark and you can hardly see the steak . You would think in this age of modern high def digital photography , that they would make an effort to put out better quality videos

LOL at me putting up a video. I’m godawful at bench pressing! I think it’s very impressive when I see someone benching what I can deadlift (on a good day if I’m lucky), regardless of whether the lift is touch n’ go vs. perfect competition grade pause.

My super strength is obvious, along with my natural handsomeness, no videos needed. I also refuse to discuss my extreme modesty.

I agree completely that it was not a good competition powerlift bench press. I also did it raw (no bench shirt). My form is good, no back arching, no bouncing. All I wanted to do was bench 500 lbs once in my life, and I did, and it’s documented. That’s my all time max. I weighed 250 lbs at the time.
As far as my Wing Bowl stunt, I received a call that it is confirmed for 8 AM on January 8, 2008. They are fully aware that I am flying in from Tennessee, and the person I spoke with was talking to the show’s producer at the time she called me.

I said it was a good gym lift, but it was not a powerlfting bench. That is still a compliment to Juris, you dumb shit (ANON at 1119). A legit 500 bench, whether it would pass in a meet or not, is still impressive. If I wanted to attack him, I would do a much better job than that, and, unlike you, I’d do it under my real name.
As for me or Kevin posting a video….I have never once said what I can do in the gym or on the field of competition, nor have I posted a video of me performing strongman. If you want to say something attacking me, or Kevin, you should at least have the balls to identify yourself. Until then, fuck off douchebag.

Hey Dr Bigtime, what stunt you going to perform on the 8th? I listen everyday to the radio show and cannot remember which call was yours Figures I have friggin jury duty that day and won;t be able to listen unless you are on early. Good luck. .

Pete, what kind are you going to use? I would go with Oscar Myers, less sodium taste and easier to squish with your tongue.
Rhonda Evans said

Philly Guy that sounds like a real challenge. I’m sure you’ll succeed, however. Purchase the Oscar Meyers; what Carey says makes good sense. STAY AWAY from the longer Nathans’. (They’re too damned expensive anyway.) And stay away from the Ball Park franks. You don’t need anything that swells up as it cooks. (That might be okay for me, at times, but it is not for your cause … 🙂

Landrich you really cheapen yourself big time by responding back to these anonymous names. You can blast them until you are black and blue but it wont do you any good because they get off on shit like this.

The fellas over at WIP appear to have loosened their noose and have become somewhat lenient as opposed to the last few years . They are giving the green light to some of the weaker stunts like Philly guy’s hot dogs . Shoudt qualified with the same amount of bunless hot dogs two years ago. On the other hand you can fool them with a stunt that might appear visually impossible to them and easy for you. When you get to the studio and they tell you “Wow you can eat all that”, that’s when you know you got them .

ANON at 1121 You dumb piece of shit. Are you that fucking stupid, you can’t understand? I was attacked by an anonymous poster. If someone wants to talk shit, go ahead. I have a thick skin and laugh about it, except when it’s a spineless, anonymous poster.
As for me “whining”, its just an issue I have with people who hide in the shadows. I have never seen such a group of whiny, little back-stabbing bitches as on this site. You anonymous fuckheads are pathetic. This passive aggressive shit from you anonymous freaks is truly amazing.
I was an ass to Juris, because I thought he was being as ass with his claims. We went back and forth a few times. As far as I’m concerned, its over. If I saw Juris in a gym, I would walk over, identify myself, and offer a spot if he was benching, because that’s what real men do. Juris, BTW Flat-backed, with no leg drive? It wasn’t what I expected.

I don’t believe you, Landrich.
You don’t have thick skin.

Mike Landrich,
For someone who is not whining, you sure do get defensive and screechy. Also the language really doesn’t help your case for being thick skinned.

Landrich if you can get all bent out of shape over alias names getting on your case i can just imagine how you are when you meet someone face to face. Chill out , you got some serious issues . Stay off this site if you cant take the heat. There are people on this site that get personally attacked by real names and they dont wouldnt bother responding to that bullshit. What is your problem bro? This is a blog site. Expect shit like this and the more you bitch the more they will fuck with you.

One can certainly tell there isn’t much going on in the world of competitive eating, hence a great opportunity to sling verbal pies instead of eating real ones.

My stunt is 12 glazed Krispy Kreme doughnuts in 90 seconds, no dunking, but I can drink. 8 AM on January 8. Full day in surgery on Monday, flying in 9 PM that night, doing my stunt, flying out at 11 AM, seeing patients in the office at 2 PM. No rest for the wicked. I WILL be RAGING the weekend of Wing Bowl, though, so we’ll have to meet up, Philly Guy.
Mike, it’s all water under the bridge now as far as I’m concerned. I’m not really a powerlifter, so I’m not exactly sure what you mean by flat-backed, w/no leg drive. I’m guessing not like the powerlifting guys bench with their back arched, butt to the bench, and legs pushing on the floor. I just don’t never got into that technique, I guess. And that’s why I ignore the haters anymore. It’s like being a one-legged man in an ass-kicking contest. Not worth the effort.

Dr Bigtime
You nailed what I was referring to. The BBing style is far harder for the same weight handled. If you had gotten into PLing, used a good double-ply shirt and learned the PL technique, you probably would’ve gotten close to 600.
Good luck on the stunt. Post on here when it gets closer, as a reminder. Some of us will log on and listen, like we did for USMALE.

So, since there isn’t much going on I guess we are in a lifting conversation now. I was wondering what the double ply shirt does to help with the lift?

KevinRoss said
December 19, 2007 @ 3:56 pm
Carey, I’ve never used a shirt and don’t profess to be an expert, but the basic concept is that the bench shirts are extremely tight and thus help recoil the weight off the chest. The shirt then becomes less useful as the weight is locked out (i.e. at the top of the lift the shirt isn’t doing anything). I think shirts were originally invented back in the day to help protect the shoulders from injury, but the technology increased to the point today that people who are experts in using a bench shirt can add a huge amount of weigh to their raw lift. Personally, I think the whole thing is a bit silly. I’m more impressed by someone benching 500lbs without any lifting gear like Juris than someone benching 850 with all sorts of craziness helping them.
Carey said

I always thought that BBing was just misspelling everything and picking fights with people….. that, and eating a bunch of pickles.

Good luck Juris & Philly Guy Pete. if I did not have jury duty Juris, i would pick you up at the airport & take you to the WIP studio. Those guys in the studio are a blast to entertain for.
Pete, I thoguth you were going to do something ass kicking? Either way, just do it and get in. There is alot to win at WIng Bowl this year and I plan on taking something home.
