Title: Efferding broke Jon Cole's 40 year old record in Raw Powerlifting tonight -
Post by: BB on March 24, 2013, 10:49:45 PM
Stan Efferding squatted 865.3, benched 600.8 and deadlifted 837.7 lbs in the 275 class. It's a huge record, one that people thought would never be broken.

raw = benching in a t-shirt?   or some kind of limited suit?

CRAZY strong.  unreal.

Thin singlet (not a suit), wraps, and belt.

Knees not locked out at start or finish of squat. No walk out for squat.

Ass comes off bench on bench press.

Who judges this  ::)

I didn't like any of the lifts.   

No walk out on the squat.
The squat as boderline deep
The bench press NEVER paused.
He "sunk" the Bench Press
Knee wraps on the DL? WTF?

you cant tell if his ass came off the bench from that angle.  It comes up, but as long as some part stays in cantact with the bench it's fine.  Agree with the squat, though.

On a squat like that, it's usually 3+ plus spotters with similar placement. They're being really careful now, because there's been quite a few accidents, including one last week with missed squats.

If you blow up the video, if they do touch, it's more of a tap, than a helpful push on the bar. You might see a little help on the re-rack, but that's ok, too.

they need to use more entertaining items.  Like, put a Kia car on his shoulders that weights 865 pounds and let him squat that. 

it'd be all over youtube and the news.

There is something to that, after a certain point, people just don't have an appreciation for the weights, they're just metal disks after awhile. But they do understand normal things like fridges, girls, loose change, engines, etc.... That was some of the appeal of the old 70's World Strongest Man shows, they were events guys could wrap their head around.

Strong lifts! Lots of respect for Mr efferding ..but until he does it in a singlet and ace bandages, Jon Coles record still stands...as a competitive powerlifter myself, the state of today's sport saddens me..its the only sport that has actually devolved over time. Guys now a days are struggling to break 40 year old records even with gear, and advancements in technology...and multi-ply is just a joke plain and simple. You can either lift it or you can't, what's the point in the suits except ego...anyways Stan will always know in his mind he didn't really break any record, but he set a new modern day record. Congrats

Damn strong lifts. Pause on the bench was shorter than other lifts i've seen but it was paused for sure. Squat was below parallel too.

hot chick squatting a refrigerator (200 pounds) would get a million hits on youtube.

fat guy squatting 800 pounds would have 27 hits after two months.

CRAZY poundages. Sure, I can spot some less-than-perfect technical attributes on each of the lifts, but still, to move such weight, largely unaided with support gear, is freakish. As a powerlifter, I can definitely "feel" that squat bar watching Stan unrack it. Monstrous strain and crush.

Hails!

Wrong. Stan broke the record. He did it in a singlet and knee wraps, just like Cole did. Are knee wraps better today than 40 years ago? Yes they are, get over it. He smashed Cole's record by over 30lbs, AND he did it at a lighter bodyweight. I have all the respect for Jon Cole, guy is a strength legend but people are not giving Stan the credit he deserves.

Stan also totaled 2,226 with NO KNEE WRAPS.

The other guy said Cole's record still stands.  I don't know who to believe?

Regardless of what you think of the lifts (they were clean enough to my eye), this will come down to which lifter and federation you like. In the federation Stan was lifting in, it's the new raw record that broke Cole's, and most of the reviews of Stan's effort were positive.

The problem is that Powerlifting is broken up among tons of different federations, and you'll get some dissension among them, but amongst most, it's the new record.

You'll also find older lifters that take issue with the monolift and new knee wraps, so.......

It's the lack of a unified powerlifting federation that hurts it the most.

In that case, I decide that I'm the strongest.
