Always good stuff, mac.


Anyone believe that the DB used by Anderson was 300lbs?

I believe the DB actually was 300 pounds. The man had insanely strong quads which gave him lots of stability.

Couple more:

Some more of Taranenko:

210kg (463lbs)


245kg C&J (540lbs)


266kg C&J (586lbs)

That first Taranenko lift was amazing - just unthinkable that someone could put that above their heads.
