Jones can test all he wants. Dr. Squat was a PL legend. Art was just a rich whack-job...

This article, "Hit with a Hammer" really hurt Jones's feelings, and it cemented a lot of dislike for Hatfield - https://joshstrength.com/2019/10/popular-training-systems/ . Hatfield picked at him in print, and each version of the Hatfield and Jones training story got worse and worse when Arthur would re-tell it.

--------------------------

Hatfield loved Snickers bars, the stories are endless about him using them as a pre-meet meal.

Sure, but each successive retelling got worse for Hatfield, so the truth is probably in the middle. Both men had a lot of sour grapes for each other.

you're a good soul and i respect you

one thing you can'y deny is that intensity of effort is a keystone to pregress

and like Menzter said how can you get stronger and get smaller

 I remember reading when he squatted 1003 he did 1050 on his next attempt but was red lighted for depth.  And he forgot to put on his belt.

He had small legs for a half-ton squatter.

Maximal squatting performance has very little to do with big quads.

When prepping for his world-record squat, Fred would spoon cake mix/batter by the truck load into his face hole.

To bring up and maintain his high bodyweight.

Climbing several steps, allegedly, would have him weezing and panting.

Like arcidi.  He trained at a gym in Calgary and the two flights of stairs would cause him to lose his breath.
