I'm not a huge fan, but O'hearn is more likable. Never liked Bell ever since he never gave Chris Taylor credit for designing the first shirt trainers before he had the idea for the SlingShot -

I'm too lazy to track down all of Bell's numbers, but it would probably be closer than many think. Bell is a bit worn, but he still squats in the low #600s, deadlifts a bit over #700, and benches in the mid # 500 - #600 range. O'hearn's best powerlifting performance had him with a #650 squat, #705 deadlift, and a #462 bench. That being said, he lifted those numbers around 22 years ago, so he might be better, might be worse.

The bench is the sticky wicket, Bell is legitimately a great bencher.

Has anyone actually seen O'Hearn performing those numbers? Rumor has it the entire life of that guy consists of nothing but BS and lies (MMA champ, powerlifting champ,...). His only strength feat caught on tape over and over again are his signature 4 plates on the incline, and that's about it. If this guy was able to lift 700+, there would exist at least one video on YT, don't you think?

O'hearn talks himself up and fudges a bit, but the powerlifting numbers are genuine. He competed in a small California state meet where he put up those numbers. It was covered in Powerlifting USA, and a known powerlifter named Jason Burnell vouched for him having been there. Burnell used to run the old Deepsquatter page, and later was a judge and meet coordinator in California.

The strange thing is, that the instagram post that started this just seemed like a bit of banter on Big Mike's part?

I wonder if there's more to it than meets the eye...

BB · « **Reply #13 on:** May 31, 2016, 10:08:34 AM »

http://freepdfhosting.com/9bf6f248cd.pdf .

Here's a Powerlifting USA page with the #242 rankings for 3/93 through 2/94 -

O'hearn at #94 in the squat, not ranked on the bench, #23 deadlift, and #76 for total.

Looks like someone transposed the numbers on that page too, #1708, should probably be #1807 which would make him a lower 30's ranked on total lifter.

Also, I might be misremembering, but I think Sportpharma used a few small pictures from that meet in the ads for Nutriforce, back when O'hearn had an endorsement deal with them 95-96ish, but you'd need to have someone to search through old mags.

And it was fake internet drama. It was not real. They are actually friends.

Good job posting fake stories.

Bell. No contest.

Bell sure comes off douchy and with no charisma at all. Almost makes O'hearn look better

There are several impressive lifts, including squats and deadlifts, in this video.

They're both strong as shit. Based on that video of O'Hearn out lifting Efferding, I would almost lean toward Mike at this point. In all lifts but Bench press at least.

Nothing gayer than Power lifters who diet down to get some abs and take selfies in the mirror trying to play the part of a mantie wearing homo.
