Two of America's top junior lifters compete in 4 days at the IPF Junior World Championships.
Nelson Boutte is 22 years old and squats 565@130 in the vid.
Mike Broussard is 23 years old and squats 575 and benches 425 at 145 body weight in the vid.
They are teammates, training partners, and they follow the same training program. The vids and the program are available at:

Not really interested in the young men you "sponsor", spammer.

With equipment as it is today, unless a lift is raw, it's difficult to understand what a lifter's true strength is. These young guys are low bodyweight fellas, to be sure, and the bars very heavy, but with all attributes as they are presented, I am not as impressed as I should be with such feats.
The world of strength as presented in powerlifting has gotten all skewed.

Is promoting your website allowed on this site? I thought it wasn't. If so, this guy has one post and that post breaks Ron's rule.

They are "teammates" if you know what I mean.

agree equiped lifs mean you didnt do it yourself.. its quite that simple

Are you saying weiner800 is the kind of guy that insists on spotting his clients on 135 lb ass to grass squats and if they refuse he won't pay for their power briefs and cheque drops?

Sounds to me like spermer800 is the kind of guy gets off on these 2 guys being "teammates" in front of him while a filipino boy dressed as Spartacus sits on his lap.

Plain stupid argument. In every sport equipment is used to gain benefits or advantages. If the equipment in powerlifting is permitted then why not use it?

I didn't suggest the equipment shouldn't be used, if the athlete wants to and his federation allows it. What I did say is, with single and multi-ply lifting, it's difficult to assess an individual's true strength.
Even the single-ply stuff today can add hundreds of pounds.

True, I'm not debating that, but the Mes argued that equipped lifts mean you don't do it yourself. Then who the hell else is lifting it? Also, many of the raw pling records are held by multiply lifters anyways

I hear ya. But it is goofy to suggest an equipped lifter is doing all the lifting. If that were the case, why would the lifts drop SO dramatically when raw? By the way, I am not anti-gear. Just have to keep it real.
As far as some of the raw records being held by sometimes-equipped lifters, well, that could be for a number of reasons: for one, the guys who use multyi-ply stuff are usually the guys who have an at-all-costs mindset. In other words, they drug it up something fierce. That's the biggest reason, likely.

if it isnt raw its a nonsensical lift IMO

Why don't we have F1 drivers run round the track instead then? Cos it's not really them covering the distance when they're in the car ::) By your logic all sports should be performed naked. Every sport has equipment to benefit the competitor. Powerlifting is no different. I used to be an ignorant rawbie like yourself. I was persuaded to give equipped lifting a try so I opened my mind to the possibility and ended up loving it.
Fortress - that excuse for equipped lifters holding raw records is ridiculous. Most high level powerlifters have an at-all-costs mindset. I don't think that's limited to multiply guys only.
We will just have to agree to disagree here

That's a dumb argument trying to equate wearing a bench shirt to f1 raccing
F1 racing is about driving skills therefore the driver would need a car
Lifting is about moving weight so in my mind all that should needed is the cucking weight
Not a shirt that helps you bench 200lb extra it's frickin dumb

Exactly, and equipped lifting is also about skill in using the equipment too. I hope you never lift with a belt, wrist wraps or straps cos that would help you lift more and that's fricking dumb! ;)

Ho ho, "Burn2live" is obviously one of these obese guys who lifts wearing triple ply shirts and boasts about how much he benches. The content of his posts implies a very low IQ. Assisted lifting is a sport for weak fellows to pretend they are lifting. It's like race car driving on a track with rails on it for the kids and retarded adults to pretend they are driving on.

22yrs old and weighs 130lbs, he ought to be ashamed of himself

Agrees it's retarded... Why not just lift what you can
Pure ego...

It's actually not as easy as you think. THe shirt doesnt automatically add 300 pounds to your bench. I used to compete in geared powerlifting, and I actually stopped because I think the judging in most geared meets is crap, but it really is not as easy as you think.

Ive seen it been used in my gym once guy barely benched 405 and i do mean barely
...
put on a bench shirt and got 500lb

OK seriously, how much can you bench raw and assisted with the various ply shirts ? I tried a single ply shirt around 10 years ago for fun. I was benching singles around 375 raw at that time having competed back in the 1980's with a competition best of 455 raw. I got an easy 425 first time I tried the shirt.
It literally pulled my arms back into a straight position. I needed a 100lb bar just to push my arms down so the bar could touch my chest.
Evetually afer a few weeks I got a single with my shirt of 475. Way beyond my competition best raw from 15 years earlier. I guessing I could have got 550 in my prime with a single ply shirt but I would not have enjoyed competing in assisted events.

Guy in my gym gets 4 plates for about 8 or 9. Don't get me wrong....very strong indeed, BUT, he puts on his special shirt (at 4 and a half plates) and proceeds up to SIX plates. The whole gym stops in awe of him. I'd rather just see him get 5 plates, NO shirt.
I've never understood bench shirts and I never will.

Deadlift is the truest lift to test ones strength outside of strongman training.
