No doubt that he cannot achieve this feat.

Forgot the grey-scale picture man's name, but he was amazing.
Soft and bulky but enormous size and probably a big ass skeletal structure to support all that muscle/lethal poundage.

Paul Anderson, a real tank of a man.

Ugliest and oldest looking 23 year old ever.
Strong but fat and ugly

23?? He'll break records without his special wraps but he'll also redline his body by 30. Look at his face...the guy is Caucasian but looks like an Indian 10 years his senior.
Strong dude tho. Strong dad. Strong family.

20% maybe. Remember he's bloated as fuck.
Still not fat tho.

I know the difference between in and out of shape.
You dont because you have never been in shape.
I have posted before and after pics on here with a 35lb weight difference and I certainly didnt look anywhere near as fat as that dude.

Wolfox is correct the blokes not fat, he's actually obese

Despite his Herculean strength, his legs look untrained.

Any exercise will build your legs if you are meant to have big legs.

it depends on execution
the more upright the torso the more the knees will travel forward
an olympic full squat barely breaks paralel
because the knees travel so much forward and so the shin bone inclines to the front and lowers the knee height also and so the thigh bone ends up horizontal when knee is fully folded
this way the quads take a big load of the work almost like leg extensions
true story
many olympic lifters have phenomenal quads
but hack squats machine are more practical
perfect example, this is his full depth yet the thigh is parallel
massive load on the quads

my point is if you are going to get big legs you will get them regardless of which exercises you use.

Nope, never and it hasnt affected my leg development at all.

yes but different exercises (or fashion of execution) will stress different parts of the leg
this sounds like epic bro science but it was a theory i came up with years ago
and turns out louie simmons claims the same theory
so i think it's pretty legit
he said "power lifting squats" build the leg size near the hip and upright squats build the size near the knee

the quads straighten the leg and the hamstrings pull the heel towrds your arse.
Do those two things under stress and your legs will grow.
Hack squats outer sweep. ::)

You have fake strength your support muscles are weak as hell you would hurt yourself lifting a heavy box.

I have two herniated discs in my lower back, so yes I have a problem lifting heavy awkward things.
-
Volume, drugs and genetics build leg size more than 'PL' vs 'Oly' squat, unless you are pure ego lifting leverage lifter like Layne nerdstorm
PLers usually have shitty legs because they usually do a little bit of low rep work and spend an hour sitting on a bench sucking on an oxygen mask. Lillebridge is probably on 3 grams a week of the hard stuff but he's not going to do anything volume wise that would take away from his strength
branch does most of his pressing with a close grip so according to broscience he should have huge tris and no chest.
either way, crazy lift. Hip replacement by 45

Anderson's #1200 is myth status, but I don't doubt that he'd be in the running with the top guys still today if you take into account previous known performances, plus the boost from modern knee wraps, etc....

I attribute Oly lifters having big quads to genetics. Let me explain.
If you take 1000 random people off the street of all different races, body structures, heights, etc... and line them up to choose the best swimmers. There will be about 100 which will be phenomenal swimmers with training, and the rest will be mediocre at best. Why? Because those 100 will have long limbs, tall and have the lung capacity for holding their breath and moving their muscles for a prolonged period of time. A guy who's 5'2 with stubby arms and legs has a snowball's chance in hell "swimming" his way to a swimmer's build (long limbs, long torso, etc...). My mom signed me up for basketball and swimming when I was in elementary school in hopes I would grow taller in the future ::) She saw that basketball players and swimmers were tall and figured they were tall because they play the sport, not the fact that they play the sport BECAUSE they're tall and are built for it.
So when people say "look at oly lifters and their huge legs, it must be because they're doing clean and jerks and snatches" I say that the reason they're good at clean and jerks and snatches (with heavy weights) is because they were built for it.

paul anderson never did that squat in competition. or in front of anyone. it's an apocryphal lift, like his "back lift" that was in the guinness books until the 80s when they were forced to concede that they hadn't actually seen him do it.
it's funny how all of anderson's most herculean feats happened with no one watching, meanwhile every single one of his competition lifts got shattered later.
dude was a circus lifter, like valentin dikul and isaac nesser. yeah he was a record setter, but he wasn't inhuman, his best lifts got decimated in the olympics even within his lifetime. hell alexeev beat his C&P by over 100lb.
-
he looks about 40. ::) at least skorp actually looks ok on juice.

this was it the 10,000.00 dollar challenge. he squatted with it in silver dollars if you could do it to you kept them.
-
Sad how guys like zyzz seem to get more respect around here then guys like this, if anything respect the guys extreme work ethic and the balls he has to step under and move such crazy weights raw. A 23yr old kid just squatted a 1000lbs raw, he's one of the strongest people on the planet. Time to put your insecurities aside.
-
paul was the man.300 plus lb shoulder presses for reps , 300 lb neck swings no problem.

I just want to quote you and say thanks for using the word "apocryphal" correctly. It made my day.

If I took 1000lbs off the squat rack my body would snap in half. Come on Simple, I'm waiting for your witty reply. ;D

Paul Anderson is still the man. Sri Chimchiminychimchimchere e? Not so much.
-
Un-fucking-believable.
A 23-yr old freak squats 1001lbs (not to mention making 805lb look like it was 135lbs) and the majority of ppl here are concerned with his facial features and overall looks.
Good squat bro.

Hmm, not sure, perhaps to develop preternatural strength and win world records?
Another guy obsessed with the facial features of a guy squatting half a ton.
Once again, what is the point of this masturbation?

What you see in that video is a direct result from countless hours of hard work, learning from your prior mistakes and dedicating yourself to something that would mentally cripple the average joe on a daily basis. Anyone who's ever hit a meaningful physically milestone is going to of had quite the journey getting there. Though I suppose if you're content with using weight typically thrown around in high school gyms and only training to look good in a t-shirt a size to small come the weekends you wouldn't be able to understand,

In this case, I don't understand. Guys who powerlift to this extreme end up with serious joint problems, muscle tears, herniated disks, etc... I'd rather live into my 70s(who knows?) with a good physique, intact joints and untorn muscles.
Even Ronnie, who is considered one of the best bbers ever trained like a powerlifter and look at him now: hip replacement, wheelchair, and canes :'(
Oh well, we all have different goals, and if its your goal to be able to lift half a ton, then more power to you. If your goal is to have a pussy-pulling physique, more power to you. Just know that you always pay the price in the end, whether its a broken down body from heavy weights or the mental problems once your physique starts to regress and you can't do anything about it.

Thanks.
He was awesome - unreal legs.

Why do you bother even posting on the thread then. Maybe because you'd like to do the same thing or that this guy is getting some recognition you don't. Nobody gives a shit about any of this but that guy put in the work. I go to meets all over the country, some with 20 people and some with the best lifters. The shit is fun...the drive to get better is fun. Why be average

Should have put that effort towards something useful, like an education or a career. Instead he's turned himself into an bloated homunculus.
I bet when he's a 40 year old cripple with no money and a failing heart, he'll remember his record and think "Yeah I've lived a good life" ::)

Is the power lifting subculture as seedy as bodybuilding? Powerlifters seem to really like touching each other before and after an impressive lift.
-
As small as the bodybuilding subculture is, the powerlifting one is much, much smaller. The ability to lift a lot of weight in 3 random events has zero crossover appeal to the general public. At least everyone can appreciate, theoretically, wanting to look good.
Weightlifting has some credibility due to its inclusion in the Olympics and the fact that the bar is being lifted overhead by a single person (without a lot of fat guys standing around grabbing on to him or her). Weightlifting is still an Olympic sport, right?
This is true. That's why people like Ed Coan, Jim Wndler, Dave Tate, Kirk Karwoski... feel so bitter.
Nobody cares about powerlifting which is not an actual problem. The problem is that those guys want to be treated like Gods and they don't get it and get mad.

I was unaware that they're bitter about anything. Tate has done well....Ed Coan is considered a god within the sport...Kirk may not be a household name but his intensity and ability under the bar are second to none. Its powerlifting not the NFL. However the average joe and train and try a meet. Nobody is going to laugh him off a stage for trying.
-
ALL DRUGS
-
What's your point? You think anyone really cares about your pipe cleaner arms and Ronnie Coleman in the real world?
Thing is, on this forum things like squatting 1001lbs should matter regardless of whether the face reflects the age.
hilarious ;D

They are bitter because nobody cares that they eated like pigs for 30 years, injected steroids and used gear to lift barbell. They all feel like they deserve millions.
-
If you have even had 1000 lbs on your shoulders, it's bone crushing. I tried partials with that once, or twice, in a rack of the pins. That was enough, moving it 2 or 3 inches was painful enough. ANYONE who can full squat that has my respect. Nicely done.

Yeah I'm sure when he's 40 and is able to honestly tell his kids that he was/is the best in the entire world at something he will really begin to reflect on his life's choices. Powerlifting may not by mainstream but many can and have made respectable revenue from it. Think Louie Simmoms, Jim Wendler, Brandon Lilly, Mark Bell etc. The Lillibridge family is powerlifting, I'm more than certain he can succeed where others in this market have. As far as being a cripple, well that's the price you pay for not having had sit on your ass all your life. Maybe you would rather him be like the typical man and grow old while never knowing what his body could have been truly capable of.

Negative. I have competed extensively in both sports. Powerlifting has plenty of odd stuff happening but the creepy factor is minimal.
-
This thread is full of such epic fail.
a) Anyone who believes Paul Anderson squatted a "legal" 1200 pounds is a 'tard. There is ZERO evidence of any such feat. Man was a bull, no doubt, but the claims are ridiculous.
b) The squatter in the OT isn't remotely "fat". If you believe him to be, you are seriously delusional/ignorant. Is he puffy and red? Sure. Fat? No.
c) If you think his wheels appear untrained, again, you're delusional/ignorant. The guy is proportional and weighs around 300 pounds. Standing next to him, the average competitive bodybuilder would appear small and frail.
Eric is performing at staggering levels these days at an incredibly young age. The question is, can he last? He is massively gifted for strength and has his training nailed down tight, but he also is using an obvious boatload of drugs ... I fear his body might not survive what he's currently doing, at such a young age.
P.S. That (failed) second rep with 1,001 pounds could have injured him to an extent that could have ended his lifting career. Yikes.
-

Okay, with your logic, what is the point of, oh, anything?
Stop being such a tool. Your Fear of Inferiority is showing.

Why not use a power rack with safety catchers?
I don't care how big, strong and competent those spotters are... if something serious happens, they cannot possibly stop that weight from crashing and potentially killing that kid.

same story for bench presses
they could easily use a safety system for bench presses
but powerlifting is just a backwards community where bravado is more important than safety

No safeties on a monolift but there are straps that hook onto it to catch a dumped lift, these guys never seem to use them.
that's insane weight but I don't get doing a mile-high (at least from that angle) PR a week before a meet? Wouldn't that kill his CNS and potentially injure him?

it depends on execution
the more upright the torso the more the knees will travel forward
an olympic full squat barely breaks paralel
because the knees travel so much forward and so the shin bone inclines to the front and lowers the knee height also and so the thigh bone ends up horizontal when knee is fully folded
this way the quads take a big load of the work almost like leg extensions
true story
many olympic lifters have phenomenal quads
but hack squats machine are more practical
perfect example, this is his full depth yet the thigh is parallel
massive load on the quads
