Freakish lifts/standout lifts

:clap:

repping that imagine what his 1 rm must be!

Have a look at this vid Grover, he talks about how some people can smash out big numbers for lots of reps but doesn`t always transfer to a big 1rm, and vice versa

Moving on...

For the older amongst us, did anyone see Kevin Judson in his Olympic Lifting days? I saw him competing as a powerlifter in the 1990s and he was very impressive. Holds several NZ records in the 82.5 kg class with a 310 squat and also the bench around 200 (no shirt), deadlift about 300.

I know he qualified to lift at the 1990 Comm Games but was injured.

I heard he also went on to do some bodybuilding after his powerlifting career.

:shock: Fark those are some freaky numbers!! What was his physique like?

Not very tall and built like a farken tank. He was 40 when he broke those NZ records.

Damn, you guys keep proving age isn`t a factor when it comes to freaky feats of strength :pfft:

Thanks Rookie

Interesting vid, some sick looking arms on those guys.

Deano where are you

Grover surely you`ve seen some crazy lifts at your gym in Samoa? Some strong boys there I`m sure

[Grover]

Surprisingly not that many BIG guys go to the gym here

The freaky lifters are the girls

Ele Opelonge won gold medals at commonwealth games

She ain't pretty like Rose, built like Dr Squat

Samoa and some of the other Island nations are sleeping giants in the world of sport in my view. Given the right level of funding, they could do some big things in the future. Tasele Margaret Iva Satupai who won the bronze in the shot put is another freak in the making.

Hoping to host Valerie Adams later this month at Eastside. I will get some footage if allowed.

That sounds awesome! Would be very to keen to see what sort of training/procedures she`s put through. Could be your training partner for ME post chain :pfft:

:shock: Fark, I guess the Gregg Valentino concept doesn`t apply to him then :pfft:

Tonka: Surely you`ve hit some freaky lifts, both raw and equipped?

I have seen the All Blacks at my gym and I saw them bench some mean weight.Cant remember the amount of weight that they were benching off hand but still I thought it was cool to see and plus I thought it was wicked sharing the gym with the All Blacks.

Yeah but 260 at 85 kg is not freaky.

For a bodybuilder it isn't a good lift? I mean whilst it's not powerlifting comp big it's more than most people lift in the gym. Not many bodybuilders do it that's for sure.
