Ass to the ground. Looks like he had a few more in him. What would he have squatted if he had ended his career powerlifting?
-
In one of those videos of Reza's squats the cameraman says it's his second set of squats in that workout so it must feel pretty light and easy for him. ;D
The difference between a secure, confident strong weightlifter and some schmuck who has too much to prove is stunning. Must...kill myself...for that 1 kilo record...in a non competition lift.
Both of them, Mendes and Reza are cripples now but Reza was in a car accident and has 2 olympic gold medals. The superior athlete is the one who knows when to take it easy.

Why are the both cripples now? Just the heavy lifting tore their bodies up?

A little bit of an overstatement but Reza quit because of the accident and probably didn't have motivation to continue and Mendes has been in rehab for quite sometime because of his hip I think. Don't know if he can truly train hard with that kind of injury at such a young age.

It hurts to just watch the vids like that. ;D

Good points...

The way those guys bounce 300 kilos must chew their hip labrums to pieces.. No wonder mendes has a hip injury
-
Mendes bounced the weight...not so much Rezazadeh (granted Mendes had more weight).

there are no old great olympic lifters....joints are gone.

He did that easily - quads went well below parallel on the second rep.
-
every womans fantasy
-
something ive never considered before, but would the stress on the legs not also include the (considerable!) weight of his torso? He was a ridiculously strong man in all areas of lifting
-

There are no great old Olympic sprinters. There are no great old NFL running backs. There are no great old marathoners winning races. Being the top of a real sport takes youth.

reza stil has thick luxurious hair
pulls all the women over you baldies

Human forklift here. He had way more in him.
-

No great Olympic lifter, or ANY athlete for that matter.

Mendes isn't busted out, he simply doesn't have the free time/money/etc.... to devote to the sport. He has a chronic wrist injury and just had a labral tear repaired, but the above is a big piece of the puzzle. He's working 60 - 70 hours a week. Also the classes he will try for are tough, it's a long road for him.
These are current for him -

They might try him as a #105 lifter.
They're about a month after the tear surgery
-
after watching that clean
i can say as an armchair expert and retired amateur lifter
that
PAT IS DONE
-
As to the first question, Rezazadeh probably could've gotten low 800's at a raw powerlifting meet with no wraps or belt. If you gave him some time, wraps, and a belt, he could flirt with a #1000.

I think he could put in a decent run, but I don't see high Olympic levels.
-
shane hamman, a squat world record holder
has seen rezazadeh train in person
he spoke with great admiration, awe and respect about rezazadeh
pretty much shane was not up to his level in terms of brute strength, nevermind technical

looking at that video i dont expect him to be able to c&j 200 in this lifetime

Here's Hamman's old stlye single ply #986 -

As for a Mendes, if he does try as a #105, here's who he'll probably have to beat for a spot in the U.S. -

Behdad Salimi 792 lbs squat! Apparently it's actually 704 lbs. His best was 792 lbs. Incredible slow descent and ass to the ground.

LMAO you know pat has an unofficial SNATCH of 207, the US record
he was extremely good before the injury, at least in the roid-filled off-season
from what i know, he never did good in competition

an athlete is like a vase
when it breaks to peaces you can glue it
but it is never strong like before

then you should be aware he has already c&j 200 plenty of times "in this lifetime" ::) ::) ::)
;D
-
The big picture is that even if the put him in as a #105 lifter and he gets into the #200 c / j range and has a good Snatch to go with it, he'd still probably only have a total that would put him in the #7 or lower place on the World circuit.

on that video he struggles to squat 455
fking idiot doing that so soon after labrum surgery, he'll be needing an artificial hip in the next 3 years if he keeps up that foolishness

Paralympic Powerlifting...662.2 lbs bench press.

Reza laying the smack down right there.
Lol @ ''pat's comeback'' btw. Funny that all these ''injury's'' and ''surgery's'' take place in his two year suspension for busting gh haha.
Pats shot, will always be a in competition mediocre lifter no mather which division.
Lets just have Shankle as the murrrrrrrican hero hes atleast badass.
-
Made a mistake on the dates of the videos, there actually more like 2 - 3 months after.
They are hoping to get him in the 212 snatch, 250 c/j at #105 by 2016. In my opinion that is a wild ass number that won't happen.
He was #128 and 37% body fat at one point.
