He squatted 700 for 10 easy reps at an exhibition in Dallas in 1964. My dad and many other lifters at that meet (Terry Todd, Ronnie Ray, Boyer Coe, etc) saw this feat of strength firsthand. The world record squat at the time was around 700.

funny how the record didn't change after this "exhibition". don't forget sri chinmoy's 7000 pound one-arm lift!

You're an idiot. Anderson wasn't allowed to compete in powerlifting meets because he turned professional after winning the Olympics. He would have destroyed every powerlifitng record had he remained an amateur.

He benched over 600.

too bad he didn't destroy every olympic lifting record. for a guy squatting 500 pounds over the record and deadlifting 300 over, the guy didn't excel nearly as much olympic lifting.
