Ronnie squatted a heavy double with 800 lbs, right?
Fully equipped, although the wraps could've been tighter, probably the suit too. But equipped nevertheless.
Levrone was supposedly an awesome squatter back in the days, but I have a hard time he would surpass Ronnie.
7 reps with 700 lbs @ a bodyweight of cerca 240-250 lbs (around 1992-1994 probably), belt only...
No fcuking way.
But it's probably not Levrone's fault, didn't someone post awhile back about how FLEX always added 100 lbs to every lift? So 7 reps with 600 lbs, that's still crazy, and especially at that bodyweight.
BTW, I think Greg Merritt was supposed to be the guy who added the poundages to all his articles, is he the guy who wrote the Levrone article?
