Who is the pound-for-pound strongest Getbigger?

[illuminati]

I never got shit in squats from wraps except some security and confidence. I did notice a difference with a belt though. Never tried any suits. Buddy I used to lift with could do 405 raw, throw on a shirt and suddenly 545 was going up.
Excellent!

Got around 40 - 50lbs out of good set of knee wraps.
I could squat & deadlift without a belt - other than giving some add stability
& confidence it didn't add anything to poundages in fact if it was on tight it
Would hinder my deadlift.


Thank you - I believe I may of got more only I swapped to bodybuilding
& competing.

That's odd, lifters get a few pounds out of just sleeves, now the rule is you have to be able to get them on by yourself Wraps give me at least 40-50lbs but I guess it depends on a lot of factors like squat style and leverages, but usually everyone gets at least 10kg or 22lbs I would say, and 90lbs is the the top end for powerlifters.

I have never, ever seen anyone else get 115lbs out of a deadlift suit when lifting conventional, usually it's about 20-30lbs. Sumo many got 90lbs though.

I posted this a while back. This was when my max off the floor raw was exactly just 660lbs! 815lbs here, did 837lbs the week after, just bouncing off the suit, 16 years ago LOL

[nobody in particular]

mate thats exceptional! I note it says 16 yrs ago - do you mind if I ask what age you were then or now (I'll do the math!)?

I'm 48 now  I was at my strongest like 6-7 years ago (in my profile pic). Started deadlifting at 15, a couple of years ago I developed pain in my upper back and I thought, well it's obviously a disk issue. MRI showed nothing except "possible impact on bone marrow." Anyone know what that could mean?

I don't know if Finns are particularly macho, the sterotype is that they're quiet. Two Finns start drinking and the other says cheers! "Are we here to chat or drink?"

It was said that deadlifting was the national sport of Finland. Nowadays the big Americans seem to be crushing everything. It's the massive amounts of overfeeding

I read about some drinking challenges in Finland where guys died. They also used to host sauna comps but then a Russian died so they had to shut it down. Brain dead challenges  I haven't drank in like 20 years, just never took to it, the hangover wasn't worth it.

not sure if the Drinking is so bad now in Scotland, like say the 70s & 80s.  Glasgow was a rough place then & when passing through i had a drink in a few places that were sawdust on the floor

I met 2 really cool Scots in Poland

Robin who was a straight on alcoholic

And Barry who was an English teacher like me, he often helped me but once he refused to help me so I blocked him and never contacted him again

Let me borrow money and gave me some of his students

Really nice guy but he hurt my ego by not saying yes to everything I asked him to help me with

And of course did absolutely nothing for him😂
