Lamar Gant. Who still holds ( I believe) the world record deadlift of 683lbs @132. I was lifting in the same weight class at the time.

This dude had a crazy build for deadlifting - at lockout his arms came to just above his knee.  If he pulled sumo I'm pretty sure the bar would only need to move about 2 inches to get locked out.

I gotta go wit Bernadelli (sp?) he's a 165er from ohio, and I saw the dude at a meet here in Columbus, Ohio, and he could do it all. Plus, the dude had an outstanding granite-like physique on him, wit very broad shoulders 8)

jon cole

multiple all time historical records in multiple weight classes; walked out his squats back then. never knew he did 910 raw, I think he is only credited with 901 raw w/wraps squat at 288lbs.
