18 years old squats 925 for a double!!!

[wes]

This ^.  Well said, Wes!

Thank you my brother

When I powerlifted in the AAU back in the seventies,all we used was a belt,knee wraps,and some chalk.

We had to walk the bar out,break parralell,walk it back in and rack it.....no one was allowed to touch the bar unless you failed then of course the spotters came to the rescue.

Tbh real powerlifting is benching twice your bw and deadlifting/squatting 3 times your bw

Alrighty then.

Alrighty then.

And this is something that you will never accomplish, no?

They had PL back in the 1870s?

[Taffin]

I believe that's correct, but Wes would have been dressed very differently back then for his lifts

THAT is NOT real powerlifting and just as an FYI when I weighed one hundred and fifty pounds, I did a strict bench press with three hundred pounds pounds THAT`S DOUBLE BDWYT. JUST IN CASE YOUR DUMB ASS CANT ADD.

Also at one hundred and sixty pounds I did a four hundred and five pound squat below paralell.

Never deadlifted all that much on a consistant basis but at one fifty five I remeber pulling four hundred and five.

Your turn....your best lifts please at your best bodyweight.

I have also used tons of weight in normal bb exercises......plus won over sixty seven trophies in bb,powerlifting,and odd lift contests.

Know your role newbie and know who the fuck you`re talking to before jumping bad.

Very strong Wes, and 67 trophies that’s a crap load.

Thank Rob,just dust collectors bud.

This was training though. Even with the safety straps every single safety precaution should be utilized. I don't know if people understand how heavy this is. There is the very real possibility that the slightest mishaps ends up crippling or even killing the kid.

[wes]

Never saw Jerry Jones,Rhenhoudt,Fratto,Kuc,Gant, etc etc......ever do something akin to that.

Thank God.

Sometimes powerlifting is flat out just stupid

[Cook]

Little bastard is strong and his depth does look good. I have seen some squats the last few years on the internet that look to be 3 inches high and get passed.That being said Wes is absolutely correct in that it’s a whole different ball game walking   That squat out of the racks. I have never used one of these contraptions.

You`re preaching to the choir my friend.

They ruined a perfectly good port with all this assistance crap and squaut suits and bench shirts..............gimm e a fucking break.

Ant the arch they use on benching is ridiculously stupid.

There were some early legendary powerlifters who "blew out their knees" but I just can't think of the names right now.

Another things I just remembered. In the early days they used ace bandages for knee wraps but some powerlifters put half a tennis ball behind each knee under the bandages. So questionable methods isn't something that only came about later on.

I don't know if this has been posted here before. How embarrassing.

I spent a couple hours one afternoon talking to Terry Todd about lifting.He was quite the historian and told me some of these same stories and of guys squatting in super tight blue jeans. I lifted in the late 70s and 80s and they kept a pretty close eye on what you wore.It was wraps and a single ply lifting suit.Once it was a great sport and to be honest I don’t follow it now too much

[wes]

Heard of the very tight jeans but the tennis ball is a new one on me.

But you guys know if there`s a way to cheat,some folks will find it.
