Yeah, because that only several elite powerlifters can pull in the mid-to-late eights doesn't say anything.

You're plain out to lunch.

I don't know where you come from, but where I'm from elite is 900.

Elite is a designation, not "elite" with a small "e".

For some weight classes, an Elite status is much less than, say, 400, even.

Get it straight or don't play, man.

I wonder what his max lifts are.  Someone as big as him should at least be able to bench 500+, Deadlift 800, and squat 700-800.

Why? Says who?

I'd rather be him than an obese dead powerlifter with fucked elbows and knees. I know BB has a million draw backs, but not destroying your back and other joints as much as power-lifting, and not looking like an obese pig, at least for 12 weeks of the year, are major pluses.

I don't know about any of that, but where I'm from all we do is lift heavy ass weight; no suits or anything fancy, just heavy lifting.
