Even his dad lifts more Member 388, 313 posts SQ 315, BP 210, DL 285 810.0 kgs @ 98kgs Eq	Siders is the best under a bar with his 460Kg squat at the American nationals, which unfortunately did not count due to bombing out on the bench. Savicaks has a PR of 425.5 Kg in powerlifting and i would have to agree he has probably had a better cross over to strongman than others. Mikhail Koklyaev has one of the best raw squats i have seen with his awsome 365kg under the bar. Because strongman events and equipment change so often you wont be able to answer this question definitively . Unless, you quantify it on a set, universal, piece of equipment such as a powerlifting/weightlifting bar. Dont know if i already mentioned this.. but the greatest squatters are powerlifters and weightlifters who then became strongmen interesting...

Yes, I guess the best answer is - depends on the set-up. Svend was great at repping with a fixed weight. Loz is awesome at the kegs-into-cage set-up.

Yeah but if you look at the bigger picture mate. Most get 60KG out of a suit, whereas 20KG max out of wraps, with many guys getting very little out of wraps at all He had a suit I presume?
