There is a kid from Iowa (Omaha, NE area) who is 19yrs old, 148lbs and puts up outrageous numbers. Something around the 530's for bench and 700's for squat. I think his first name is Nick. I also believe in Dec. 04 he broke world records. Maybe its a rumor, not sure.
 
lol @ the raw or suited question

dont get me wrong, the kid is crazy strong, BUT.... if i trained for a little while in an Inzer Leviathan and double ply power pants and did some half squats..... you see what im getting at?

its not like he's a 5'10" 148 either, he's like 5'1".

btw is best deadlift is 530ish, so you do the math with the squat(which is over 800 now).

still a very strong 148lber though

I would be so quick to criticize, this kid is squatting over 800, then benching 534, @ 165 his weight class, the world record for a bench only guy is 625 and this kid is in his very early 20's...

Don't forget, no matter how much gear you use, that much weight on your back will "gas" or deplete your CNS like crazy, I've been at meets dreading having to deadlift because your just totally spent from three balls out attempts at 2 different movements.
 
im quick to criticize anyone who does half squats in a suit of armor

yes his bench is awesome, you are right about that and 800 lbs is a hell of a lotta weight...but not too bad if its outta a mono-lift and you can train your CNS to handle that kind of weight.

Im just saying, his deadlift speaks volumes about his true power, which is still great for a 165er, but not anywhere near world class. The IPF world record deadlift for the JUNIOR 165 class is 740LBS, now that, that is fucking sick! Put an Inzer Leviathian on that kid and let him half squat.

Something is not right when your squat is 300LBS. more than your deadlift!!

here's my experience with a monolift btw:
about two years, i was doing my squat routine, which was going great i felt strong as hell. I wanted to try a max with just knee wraps and a belt. We setup 585 on a power rack. This was a 90lb jump over anything id ever done, so walking it out was a motherf*$&er. I missed the weight, but not by much. So i came up with the idea to set the bar on the rack pins at my shoulder height. I got under it, set up perfectly and lifted it, two guys slid the pins out and there i was nice and tight, didnt need to move an inch. Dropped to about 1-2" above parallel (which is apparently legal in most federations these days) and smoked the weight. I would have NEVER got this if it wasnt for the monolift setup, it makes a huge difference when using big weights. Hey put about $500 worth of gear on me now and im almost a 900lb squatter. No its not THAT easy but you get my drift?

Look, raw deadlifts and squats are almost always within 25-50lbs of each other, assuming the lifter is healthy. So how the fuck is every lifter in the WPO squatting 300lbs more than his deadlift? The answer(s) are:
1)crazy ass gear
2)bad judging

these guys are not THAT much stronger than all of us, they have LOTS of help

id be alot more impressed if Nick Hatch could squat 600 legally in a single ply poly suit than the other crap they call squats
