I was at that meet. Pulled up his singlet straps and chalked his back just before that squat attempt. It was awesome to see in person.

The guys got a no-quit low gear that just cranks the weight up.

Yeah, that was a really impressive display of raw strength. Love how he's yelling and growling the whole time too while he's lifting. :-) Awesome.

He looked like he had alot left in the tank for his bench and deadlift, and his squat was rediculously deep. And he's now the #1 Raw 275er? God Dam.

He's about 5' 10" I wouldn't be surprised if he was a little shorter after that squat...

5' 10"??? Funny how the video makes him seem a lot taller. Is he as lean as he is strong? It's cool to see a higher weightclass guy in that good of condition.

That squat was so deep I thought I was about to witness a man shit out his own intestines.

Megaprops to this guy.

When he broke parallel and got deeper into the bucket I wasn't sure how he'd push out of it. Damn.

What a bamf.

Damn, that squat was retarded. The walkout made it look like he was going to get pinned and then he just kept going deeper.

That was some great lifting.

So much for taking a deep breath and holding it throughout the lift. He was still talking on the descent. Lots of little breaths on the Squat and Bench. Crazy.

It looked like a warmup. He probably could have squatted more if the bar wasn't bouncing so much.
