Title: Andy Bolton has reportedly pulled 1003
Post by: chris_mason on November 04, 2006, 05:42:20 PM
Andy Bolton has reportedly pulled 1003 lbs at the WPO Semis in NY.   That is an AMAZING FUCKING FEAT!!!

I saw him pull 971 lbs at the Arnold.  The man is a deadlift machine!

IMO, the real record is still in the high 8's.

The barbell Bolton uses (Texas/Oakie) is softer, longer and thinner. But it's still one helluva feat.

Bolton definitely is a massive deadlifter, lets focus on his feat and fcuk the comparisons.

I would imagine a softer, longer bar would have some spring to it and help you get the weight up by having a whiplash effect as opposed to a shorter, heavier bar with less give.

Drugs, deadlift suit, or whatever (!),this is just an INHUMAN FEAT OF STRENGTH!!!

Forget the unbelievable lower back, hip, and leg, raw brute strength to lift such a GARGANTUAN poundage for a minute and think of the additional gripping strength needed to merely hang onto a bar loaded to 1000+ lbs and not literally rip the flesh off of your hands (as has happened often to many super heavy weight deadlifters)!

That's a no lift.

He never locked it out, it was obvious from his reaction as well, he wasn't sure the lift was passed.

A shame that WPO gives white lights to everything.

In my opinion it`s a good lift , I don`t like the judges who want you to pass the vertical to
get the lift, too bad for your back.
He was all the way up.

If he didn't have the strength to pull all the way up, he shouldn't get the lift.

Look at Boltons lift in the past (here he is with Benni):

I have looked at the 2 videos and the one with the 1003 pounds is better than the other and is a good lift.
This happens when the lifter does no pass the vertical you are not too sure he locked up but in my opinion he did.
A hell of a weight even with drugs and suit

yes i am from texas and in a few years i think powerlifting will overcome highschool football here if things keep going the way they are going now

my highschool football team sucked but my school  had a very high budget for athletics,so we had a 10,000 square foot gym with a losing football team,so to keep our high budget they added powerlifting , and then the rest of the state followed

but again i do not want to talk about my totals,size,or bodyfat % because i am not a pro so i dont think there that important

but if you really want to know pm me

Hedge, as you and I - being the informed gentlemen that we are - have correctly discussed before, NOBODY [within the realms of current drug technology, and using legit tackle/technique etc] will ever pull 1000, not Bolton, not Benni... NOBODY!!!

You take away at least 5% for the wonky bar, 5% for the briefs, and goodness knows what for the shitty technique and... ta da, you are faced with the concrete truth that [as per the above caveat] the human machine just isnt capable of such a lift

Thankyou, and goodnight

From the  Youtube video, I just watched I agree... he never locked out. But man, he sure did pull that weight to 7/8 completion very fast and very smooth. It almost looked like his grip was failing. The head judge gave him that quick down signal and the bar immediately went down.

Regardless huge pull.
Title: Re: Andy Bolton has reportedly pulled 1003
Post by: Richard2004 on November 05, 2006, 03:13:00 PM
Of course, to be a "perfect lift", satisfaction of the following rules would normally apply...

Causes for disqualification, resulting in no lift, are:

Any downward movement of the bar before the lifter reaches the upright position
Failure to stand erect, with shoulders back and knees locked
Supporting the bar on the thighs during the lift
Movement of the feet in any direction during the lift (rocking on the heels is permitted)
Lowering the bar before the head judge's signal
Allowing the bar to return to the platform without maintaining control with both hands

The only real problem I saw with the limited side/frontal view of the youtube lift video was the inability to determine if the shoulders were rotated back and the knees were locked.  As commented already, only a full side view of the lift could make that determination.  Regardless, it is an unbelieveable feat of brute strength!

One wonders what the great old-time strongman Hermann Goerner, who was credited with deadlifting 850 lbs. in front of creditable witnesses in the 1920's, could have done with the aid of doping (supposed to add roughly 1/3 to ones' lifts) plus the aid of a deadlift suit (another 50-100 lbs.)?  Interesting speculation.
Title: Re: Andy Bolton has reportedly pulled 1003
Post by: Pebbles on November 05, 2006, 03:25:28 PM
Regardless - I feel the human machine CAN deadlift over a grand.

Matt, thats bollocks, you may 'feel' it LOL, but it is based on fuck all

As I said, take away the briefs, the wonky bar and shit judging, and then tell my anyone will pull 1000.. they wont!

Jesus, you guys are adding 70+ pounds onto an already exteme lift, of which, is an extreme feat from the envelope of human endeavour

To nonchalantly add 70+ pounds to such an extreme lift is a joke, and cannot [as I have outlined] be substantiated in any way, shape or form. Of course, this explains why you guys resort to vague romantic rhetoric rather than face the truth in front of you

I will personally eat Cory Eversons shit if ever the day comes when such a lift occurs

To repeat, Bolton used a wonky bar, lifting briefs, had favourable judging, AND is best mates with Brian Batcheldor, thus will be coked off his fucking tits on more than mere steroids. He will be using every novel peptide hormone available, he will be mainlining GH/IGF/EGF/MGF for all they are worth ....and yet he STILL cannot pull the 1000?

YET you guys continue with this nonsense? come on guys, I mean really

IMO, the real record is still in the high 8's.

The barbell Bolton uses (Texas/Oakie) is softer, longer and thinner. But it's still one helluva feat.

Bolton definitely is a massive deadlifter, lets focus on his feat and fcuk the comparisons.

what you said is the most retarded post in history.. The guy pulled over 1000, and you say IMO the record is still in the high 8's..

Look at the lift.

Does it look like a complete pull to lockout to you?

IMO, it does not.

He's ALMOST deadlifted 1003 lbs IMO.

But that's like Gareth Southgate ALMOST scoring a penalty, or Al Gore ALMOST winning the president election.
