Pritchett is STRONG!  :o

^ Sherlock Holmes is now exiting thread.  ;D

But on a slightly less Captain Obvious note...Pritchett has some serious genetic deadlift/pulling strength.  I don't know how his presses are, but often guys with great deadlifts suffer a bit in presses because they tend to have long arms which thereby hinder their presses, due to having a longer range of motion.

I’m guessing because he was using straps 🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️

Still a deadlift, its not a powerlifting deadlift, different sport, yes. The man still picked up 950 w/ ease (and straps, yes) :)

He did 915 is a raw PL meet a few years ago, so legit guy. (Unlike some of the "super hitchers").

Matt, you are spot on, his pressing suffers, he's working hard to try to bring that up for the 2020 Giants Live series of events.

Looking FWD to the contests this year, Strongman has taken off in popularity (though not as much in the states as elsewhere).
Arnold Santa Monica is JAN 18th, with current WSM (Licis) and Shaw competing.

The Santa Monica has a lot riding on it; interesting that Shaw and Licis will duke it out there and only one gets to go to Columbus.  I'd love to see Big Bri take it but it seems like he's past his prime now.
