How about powerlifter/bodybuilder Sam Byrd doing 1050 lbs at 198 lbs this weekend at Louie Simmons' Powerstation Pro meet?

He is a FUCKING BEAST! 

There was some incredible lifting done at the meet.  It was awesome to be there!

powerlifting squats are a joke to make it intersting powerlifters should have a set stance not to surpass shoulder width that would be something  :o

He's done a lot more than that. And in that youtube vid if you're refering to that one, it's more like 540. There are collars and a 10kg plate on both ends, but this is not visible to the camera from that angle. Also, Tom was less than 200 lbs bodyweight.

635 for 15, 600 for 20, 585 for 23, etc. I have verified these numbers with Tom.

Platz was one of the best squatters of all time. Max of 775 lbs without 1rm specific training...!!

FUUUUUUUUUUCK!!! :o

whilst downloading this i was expecting to see a partial, but that shit was deep.

that is, by far, the best squat i've ever seen. 198 ??? beats coens and annihilates hatfield's.

anyone that has ever faced their fears and put serious weight behind there neck would attest to sam being an absolute warrior!

thanks a lot for posting that chris. pure inspiration.

Sam is a great lifter but that squat was high and there was no pause.

i guess in that Fed they allow this.

Still a strong bastard any way you look at it.
