Stan Efferding squatted 865.3, benched 600.8 and deadlifted 837.7 lbs in the 275 class. It's a huge record, one that people thought would never be broken.

Thin singlet (not a suit), wraps, and belt.

Knees not locked out at start or finish of squat. No walk out for squat.

Ass comes off bench on bench press.

Who judges this

I wish their wasn't so much gear and people around the squat event, really kills the drama.

I didn't like any of the lifts.

No walk out on the squat.
The squat as boderline deep
The bench press NEVER paused.
He "sunk" the Bench Press
Knee wraps on the DL? WTF?

you cant tell if his ass came off the bench from that angle. It comes up, but as long as some part stays in cantact with the bench it's fine. Agree with the squat, though.

i think he's maxed out

BB · « **Reply #12 on:** March 26, 2013, 11:48:50 AM »

If he's willing to gain weight, he could try for Don Reinhouldt's title by besting #2420.

Those squat wtf?? All the "spotters" had their hands on the bar non-stop, is that normal?

MAXX · « **Reply #14 on:** March 26, 2013, 01:03:22 PM »

looked like good lifts to me.

BB · « **Reply #15 on:** March 26, 2013, 01:04:28 PM »

On a squat like that, it's usually 3+ plus spotters with similar placement. They're being really careful now, because there's been quite a few accidents, including one last week with missed squats.

If you blow up the video, if they do touch, it's more of a tap, than a helpful push on the bar. You might see a little help on the re-rack, but that's ok, too.

We just became an AAU sponsored gym for powerlifting, what are your thoughts?

they need to use more entertaining items. Like, put a Kia car on his shoulders that weights 865 pounds and let him squat that.

it'd be all over youtube and the news.

There is something to that, after a certain point, people just don't have an appreciation for the weights, they're just metal disks after awhile. But they do understand normal things like fridges, girls, loose change, engines, etc.... That was some of the appeal of the old 70's World Strongest Man shows, they were events guys could wrap their head around.

Strong lifts! Lots of respect for Mr efferding ..but until he does it in a singlet and ace bandages, Jon Coles record still stands...as a competitive powerlifter myself, the state of today's sport saddens me..its the only sport that has actually devolved over time. Guys now a days are struggling to break 40 year old records even with gear, and advancements in technology...and multi-ply is just a joke plain and simple. You can either lift it or you can't, what's the point in the suits except ego...anyways Stan will always know in his mind he didn't really break any record, but he set a new modern day record. Congrats

That was impressive. Stan is a powerlifter not BB.
