I met him at a meet in Vegas ~'99 when they overloaded the bar by two extra plates for Coan's opening squat.

Nice guy, tiny hands.

RIP

Wasn’t a fan of his particular brand of hair.

We are saddened (and shocked) by the passing of a legacy Legend and one of our USPF Board of Directors Members, Rickey Dale Crain.  Rickey was an inductee in both the USPF Hall of Fame and York Barbell Hall of Fame.  Powerlifting USA magazine had labeled him the G.O.A.T. powerlifter in the 165 lb bwt class. He was a 5-time World Champion, multiple National Champion, and made/broke numerous World, National, and State Records.  Rickey was still active in ALL aspects of powerlifting.  Our sincerest condolences to his family.

Never heard of this hick.  I thought it was gonna be a Nascar thread judging by the title.

Powerlifting and Nascar have similar type competitors.

   He was a friend of mine we argued over politics often, but I didn't hold being a trumptard against him. I bear no one ill will over politics or religion as long as those beliefs don't infringe on anyone else's freedoms.

Not going to lie. I stared hard at this one for 10 seconds thinking it was another Skeletor masterpiece

Yeah. The guy on the right omits a Hawaii Hankins vibe.
