Hugo is a police officer in Gatineau who trains 6 days a week.
What makes his accomplishments even more impressive is that he is a lifetime natural.

"You know you're alive when you have expectations, goals, and dreams. I can't understand somebody who doesn't have any passion…something to get them working harder or achieving something. Life is too short not to have any passion. It's passion that keeps you alive, keeps you dreaming, keep you wondering, keeps you trying." -Hugo Girard
The following is an amusing and impressive clip of Monsieur Girard on a Japanese television show. He does one armed standing dumbell press with a 78 kg db (over 170lbs!! :o :o ) for a shit load of reps. The handle is as thick as a coke can and it weighs as much as a filling cabinet. A MUST WATCH (a little long but well worth it ;)

Impressive for a natural. What are his powerlifting lifts?

I think his bench is around 760-780. He beat his own personal best recently but I don't remember the exact weight :-\

he doesn't bench anywhere close to 760, i would estimate his best unequipped bench to be around 550 or so maybe 620 with a shirt, still awesome.

GUY is HUGE in real life, i train at the same gym as him. to see him in real life is very very very very hard to believe that he is natural. I know a couple of the top strongmen and they are not natural...they are tested and not alowed to have test levels to high
