Title: Who's your favorite powerlifter?
Post by: Magnus on May 05, 2009, 10:05:59 AM: ...and why?

Me: Anthony Clark, in the 90's his quest for that big bench was just incredible.

Btw, where he's now and what he's doing?

Post by: Powerlifter519 on May 05, 2009, 11:43:24 AM: Anthony passed away in 05

Post by: John O on May 06, 2009, 02:33:31 PM: Lamar Gant. Who still holds ( I believe) the world record deadlift of 683lbs @132. I was lifting in the same weight class at the time.

It was a shame about Anthony. I was always amazed at his reverse grip style!!

His 910 squat raw and deep is still unbelivable 35 years later.
this day he benched 600 and dl 845.
all raw.

my fav are john kuc john cole and ed coan.
Title: Re: Who's your favorite powerlifter?
Post by: jon cole on May 18, 2009, 01:24:59 AM: Why?

cole's and kuc's lift have never been equaled raw.
ed coan is simply from another planet.

The Strongmen thread also has 332 posts (mostly by you) and has been up for more than 2 years.

I like the thread (most of the time), but dont read into it too much. ;)

Lamar Gant. Who still holds ( I believe) the world record deadlift of 683lbs @132. I was lifting in the same weight class at the time.

This dude had a crazy build for deadlifting - at lockout his arms came to just above his knee. If he pulled sumo I'm pretty sure the bar would only need to move about 2 inches to get locked out.

multiple all time historical records in multiple weight classes; walked out his squats back then. never knew he did 910 raw, I think he is only credited with 901 raw w/wraps squat at 288lbs.
