Title: Sports scientists scan the body of one of the strongest powerlifters in the worl
Post by: pellius on June 07, 2018, 01:31:42 AM
The subject is Ray Williams. The article claims natural but putting that aside it's an interesting assessment -- at least for those that find this sort of thing interesting.

One thing for sure he is a massive individual. You have to wonder why he isn't making millions playing football?  Too slow, poor academics, or he just never had the talent?

He lifts things up and put them down.

Too slow most likely and too short at just under 6' 1/2 inch.  Plus he is 30 years old and there is no mention of where he was at 18 years old.  He might have weighed 150 lbs.

Powerlifting is SLOW lifting.  The name belies the sport.  Power is FAST lifting like Oly.

It's absurd to believe the guy is natural.  There are zero natty top level powerlifters.

Hatfield squatted close to that in the 242's. Williams weighs 400.
Drugs/obesity, he ain't gonna live long..

It's pure irony how powerlifting is called powerlifting, and weightlifting is called weightlifting

"We examined the absolute and relative SM and muscle architecture of a 30 year old drug-free"

That's where I stopped.  He's fat and looks like shit.  Won't live long.  Larry Wheels is 10x more impressive.

I don't think he's going for  beach body look.

He's only 23% bodyfat. I would expect much higher.
