Damn impressive.

One question, why is his DL low in comparison to his squat? Shouldn't they be closer in #?


Anyways, congrats to him.

Picture works fine for me. ::)

Fantastic total though.  I wonder how much higher that total will get?

Mason,

What % of his success do you attribute to your products, and what % to the drugs?

He has pulled a lot more than that.  I think he was fried from the squat and bench.  He didn't even take his third attempt on the deadlift.

Donnie is a beast of a man.  He was a beast prior to ever using our products.  He loves MAXIMUS and uses it regularly.  I would like to think it has helped him, but what extent I have no idea.  I can just tell you he thinks it is important to consume regularly.

I have no idea, as that would not be a "total".

Do you earn more money owning AtLarge than you did as a used car salesman?

Certainly whoever possesses this "total" must boast about it though?

Because you get much more support out of squat suits and bench shirts than deadlift suits.

Kind of what I was thinking, but Chris does makes sense, Donnie didn't even try a third attempt at the deadlift.....

Doesn't matter, his third attempt would have still been lower than his squat or bench

As Chris says, it could be he was "fried" from his other two lifts.  Or, most likely, it's the miracle of the squat suit....

for most big lifters..espeically at that size..the squat goes up and the dead gets hindered but I'm not sure why. ALOT of pepole say that. AND you get a shitload more out of a squat suit.. 300lbs almost with briefs, etc where as the best deadlifting suit out there gives you maybe 50lbs.

INCREDIBLE TOTAL!

I can't wait to see someone smoke 3k! I think andy bolton will do it before anyone else.

Squat suits are the most likely culprit.  Also it could be an issue of body mechanics: some people are built better for deadlifting, others not so well.  Ditto with benching and to some extent with squatting (i.e. disproportionately long legs are gonna be a pain in the ass for squatting no matter how you cut it)

I'd be curious to know what kind of suit DT was wearing and what the depth on the squat was.  Not taking anything away from it because even to put that much on your shoulders, even in a monolift, is a feat in itself.

Not at all. You are a pretty cool and honest guy earning a good living by building your own company after years of success in sales. That's very respectable!

Yes it is.  In Chris's shoes, the only thing I would do differently is work with BB.com.  His products received accolades in Men's Health magazine for best formula!!!

The only problem I have with Mason is that he's probably the biggest kiss ass powerlifting has ever seen.

The typical response from Mason after a squat or benchpress is "Great lift". It could be a two inch squat by Mule Miller, it's still a great lift in Mason's world. ;D


But he's a very strong guy, and would do very well in deadlift competitions.

And he got into the blended protein stuff way back.
