1000 + deadlift

When will this happen, I think soon, before next summer, who is that monster who just got like 970

Keep an eye out for the Arnold in March of 2006, if that dude comes over here, between him and Bolton, it will be a battle that's for sure.

Benni Magnusson just hit 970 at the WPO worlds in Finland. Also throw Gary Frank into that Arnold mix. It's going to be one heck of a competition in March.

id say both Bolton and Magnusson have the potential to pull 1000, but it's hard to say who will do it first. If Bolton takes token lifts on the squat and bench like Benni did at the WPO worlds, i think Bolton will do it. But if Bolton gives the Kid too much time, he will pull 1000 without a doubt.

That beast pulls conventional too, I saw a video someone here posted.

It's weird the difference between the two. I mean both Bolton and this guy pull conventional, I beleive Frank pulls sumo and I know Chuck V. pulls conventional as well. I think it's a mental thing, most guys can pull within 50lbs or so between the two, just a matter of preference but nonetheless, they ARE beasts.

That one vid of Magnusson pulling in the gym, he just grips and rips Man, get out of the way 'cause he's gonna rip someones head off!!!

How big & tall is Magnusson? Aren't all the great DL'ers (except maybe Ed Coan) well over 6'? Maybe Magnusson's super stocky, but he appears no more than 6', perhaps less?

BTW, why is that, that most of the all-time DL'ers are so tall? Why wouldn't shorter guys generally have an advantage, but instead it's guys like Doyle Kennady (sp?), and that guy who held the record at 925 for years, etc?
