What is a kilogram? Speak American dammit!

Down with the metric system!
Are beards required for powerlifters?

They shouldn't allow spotters in powerlifting. It makes it look more like a clown show than it already does. They don't have them in weightlifting. It's just the lifter and the weights, which is how it should be.

Seeing the occasional lifter crushed by the weights would add zest.
As it is powerlifting is about as exciting as watching snow melt.

The assistive equipment used is absurd.
Lift naked or don't lift at all!

Yup. Just walk up to the bar in an Olympic weightlifting style suit and do your business. No bench shirts, excessive wrapping, 20 fat guys standing around to "spot," etc. As it is now it's just a clown show.

As long as they don't walk up some stairs or break in to a jog. Then Sam needs to catch his breath....

He’s still a fat fuck

Looks like shit
“Strongest man in the UK” is like first place in the Special Olympics.

While I love Powerlifting, I just dont like the equipped version. My favorite era in the Irongame, is 70's Powerlifting.
Doug Young, Vince Anello, my bud Ted Arcidi (going to his house on SAT), Mike Bridges, Ricky Crane, Reinhoudt, etc...
And I dont even mind the early bench shirts that they used to put on themselves (Marathon) but then it got silly.
(Ted used an early Marathon type shirt for his 705 bench in Hawaii, put it on themselves,and arms didnt hang out front like Frankenstein).
Raw lifting has made a comeback recently, so all is good. (Belts and sleeves are OK in current raw) I have no issue w/ that.
I'd like to know Fortress's opinion on the gear usage in PL.

most of the guys in this book.

Didn't Larry Wheels do more than this in an unequipped meet?
No question this guy is strong as fuck, but he is quite a ways behind the top guys it seems.

Funk, yes great book, great era in PL. Terry (RIP) was a legend himself. He and Jan signed my copy of this book,and its my favorite one as it relates to PL.
-
Equipped lifting simply got/is out of control.
Some modest support-type gear is OK, but I’m mostly about raw/classic lifting.

Larry wheels is a fucking beast.his strength is unreal.i imagine with no injuries or death he can beat most records.

Just 1 CroCop high kick & no more of this "wrecking machinery" :D

Take away the drugs and you're left with what...A regular guy, that's what.

When his liver or kidneys fall out he'll turn back into Clark Dark.
Why do people put these folks with drug created physiques and drug created strength on pedestals?

Same with anyone I guess but most that take drugs don’t get nearly as strong as this kid.

too boring to be Olympic games sport ...........

I know I don’t put them on pedestals but this is a forum about lifting weights so when someone comes along that’s as strong and as young as Larry wheels it’s very impressive.Most talked about here are on drugs etc and would be nothing without but they are on drugs and are either very big or very strong so they are discussed.Do I give a rats fat ass about Larry wheels?not at all just very impressive is all.

Not sure the relevance.

He’s a particularly strong fellow made superhuman with drugs and hormones. He’s what I refer to as a “super responder”.
He’s hit the right formula by fluke, and is willing to partake.
Larry is deep-sixing his health and athletic longevity, though. The (young) man hasn’t earned the right to move what he moves. His structural integrity is being hugely compromised.
It’s what happened to Coleman, largely.
Larry is not built like a naturally-sturdy Viking type.
Having said all this, he’s really something.
But it’s true. Without the gear, he’d be a 400-odd presser and high fives squatter. Deads perhaps in the low-to-mid six range. Still awesome, but WAY less than where he’s now performing.
