That is an awesome pic Mike. Thanks for posting that. That guy doesn't look like someone I'd want to mess with, lol.

I was thinking of Doyle Kenady - first man to deadlift 900 pounds. He pulled 903lbs in '86. He died in 1999.
Proof again that, what kills you, will make you stronger.

PLUSA had a good tribute to Doyle Kennedy way back. BTW I don't remember the last time I tried a raw max bench. Reason is I train to compete and that ain't a lift last I remember. You don't see sprinters posting 'no shoes/on concrete pr's or swimmers with pr's with no swim bodysuit or with hair pr's. Every sport has equipment, even belts are better now, equipment gets better and so does the competitor. The reason deadlifting records are slow to come by is because it takes balls- REAL BALLS to fucking pull 9+ and society today has no BALLS! Hell you can't even spank your kids now, let alone make them deadlift. Everyone should be issued a gun and a script for test PERIOD.

Please don't compare power equipment in other sports to that of powerlifting. Shoes are a necessity a bench shirt is not. Shoes won't take off 3 seconds from a 100m sprint whereas as shirt can add 100lb+. For the most part I have no problem with people using them because they're allowed and everyone does it. However I think it's a joke when people say it doesn't add that much or say it's just like wearing football pads etc.

Last I checked I can run without shoes, and last I checked whenever I ran on a rubber track- I ran about a .5 second faster than that of what I ran on a black top track. That is alot in 100m. Ok what about archery? Ever see the bows they use? What about rifle's? They have barrels that are cryo'ed now for accuracy, that's when they freeze them and even tune the harmonics. Ever hear of restricter plates? Turns out their cars were To FAST. But I forgot how powerlifters have overused gear, besides have you ever seen Gene R the 900lb bencher? I have and there is a reason he is #1= he is big and strong as hell. AND I'll go back to my old stand by, if you want to we can both deadlift with just a singlet and a belt- NO Wraps or suits and I bet I'll still out pull you.

Well, actually there's a pretty high risk of tearing a pec when your raw bench gets into the 600-700 range, so it is a necessity because of safety.
