Scotsman... that's fucking awesome!

Tom Platz repping with Big Kazmister in the backround is my fav. part on that one.

How much does someone need to deadlift to manhandle a 500lb stone like that?

Travis deadlifts close to 800. There's not a lot of carry over from deads to stones though the starting positions are too different. Although deads do build up the core strength needed for stones.

I spotted this Svend Karlsen tribute but it's a bit light on the lifting:

Here is my personal hero, Naim Suleymanoglu, clean & jerking 418lbs at a bodyweight of 132lbs.

damn, merecere, you beat me to it. that's one of my favorite vids, i've posted it in some other thread. naim is just awesome - one of the greatest oly lifters. BTW, on a side note, current great, hossein razazadeh is originally turkish, but as everyone knows, represents the country of his birth, iran. turkey tried to convince him to represent his country of origin - suleimanoglu personally invited him.

I knew that he was invited to compete for Turkey but had no idea he was of Turkish origin. Very possible though since he was born near Azerbaijan.

He changed his name too. It used to be Shalamanov when he competed in Bulgaria. He is Turkish, just born in Bulgaria and then had the opportunity to move. I hear he was pretty well compensated to do so. Australia also picked up some lifting talent around the same time. Of course the US had Antonio Krastev move here, he offers to lift for us and what - he worked as a bouncer in NY. They never had him on the team and to my knowledge never had him as a trainer. WTF, I'm not one to usually critisize but from what I have seen (and heard time and time again from those involved) there is a lot of bullshit politics in USAW - as if they don't have enough problems.
