Well he looked in decent shape. He did moving events and looked fast. I still think he will do well but he said he isn't 100 percent from the injury..


I think the reason he got injured, and is still recovering from it, is due to his recent height reduction phase. Even the great Z and his mighty powers take a hit when you shrink down for that height.

He's not back to his best because he quite clearly won't juice and eat like he used to.

Is it an optical illusion or do you have really short legs and a very long torso?

Ha ha! This question tickled me. Bit of an illusion I think. Long T-shirt and joggers drooping down.

Magnus could barely deadlift 700 pounds or squat 600lbs. He was a good bencher and mover of medium heavy weights. He would not qualify for a final today.
Lol. BS. He was not the strongest dead:er or squatter, but he sure could lift 700 and 600 for reps.

Magnus was a 330/340 dead lifter at his peak.

So he was barely a 700 puller as stated. Cheers

He very, very nearly hit 340kg (just failed on lock out but essentially he lifted the weight, so fresh I'm sure it could have gone) in WSM final 99. That was with a bad back and I'm sure he improved since then, that was pretty close to the beginning of his career.

That close 340 CAUSED the bad back.

In 2004 he got 1 difficult rep with the 315 car dead lift.

I might be wrong, but I don't think he went above 340ish. He had back trouble later in his career.

He got a 330kg in his heat in 2001.

Judging by this video I call Terry's height into question...So Id guess Terry is only about 5 foot tall then.

Lol this thread is making my afternoon.

Terry, thanks for chiming in on the height issue but clearly you are only around 5ft max. It's been proven.
