Powerlifting's All Time Best Total -

[BB]

Jimmy Pacifico, Powerlifting legend Larry Pacifico's boy has been going through some of the old tapes and found a decent copy of Don Reinhoudt's #2391 raw total, which to this day is the highest ever recorded. Originally it was judged as #2420 due to an error with the plates -

.

He also uploaded his dad's #1936 at #198.

.

They many not be interesting to many, but it gives you a glimpse into the early years of the sport.

All the way big dude! Thanks for posting that!

I thought Kazmaier held the record and it was broken in the early 90's by that south african lifter who competed in WSM?

[BB]

Reinhoudt is considered the highest raw total, because Kazmaier's squat for his #2425 was done in a single ply squat suit. How much the squat suit gave him on the squat is up for debate, but figure #40 - 50. Gerrit Badenhorst is the South African that beat Kazmaier's total, but it was single ply also for squat and maybe bench.

thanks for the clips brother

do you got any footage of the lighter guys like Bradley, Gant, Heath, Bridges, etc?

[Mitch]

squat execution is perfect

Bridges and Pacifico -

.

Pacifico was deadlifting #700 and change shortly after having to have his severed finger put back on. The finger was torn off during a bench press re - racking.

Inaba, Gant, Bridges, and a whole bunch more are on these -

But is their conditioning as sick as Dexters?

[Chadwick The Beta]

poor form
fake plates
they look like shit
hope this helps

You may want to take a look at this. Yeah, "Raw" becomes a bit sketchy, but it is still something to be considered. Substantially larger totals overall, with a close grip bench on top of it.

Coan's 1990's supportive gear was better than Reinhoudt's, who just had knee wraps and belt.

Not a knock on Coan, I'd give Coan best overall powerlifter, but Don still takes best raw total.

Speaking of Coan, Two of his long standing deadlift records seems to have competition / were broken, a few hours ago -

#862 at #198 -

.

I'm also hearing #890 at #242 was pulled by Konstantin Pozdeev, no video yet though.

Edit -

#888.8 .

Some fantastic videos. Thanks for posting them.

SO impressive.

[epic_alien]

how is it even a deadlift with that wide  stance, he isnt even standing up

[BB]

I'm still liking Coan's lifts better, mainly because the bar used at the Russian meet looks to be a special deadlifting bar. No real problem with form, as Coan, himself, was a dual position puller.
