Member 832, 522 posts SQ 50, BP 0, DL 0 50.0 kgs @ 74kgs UnEq	and also, youd only attempt a weight 70+lbs over the WR if you were a) a total c**t or b) confident

No one believed him anyway. Member 958, 11411 posts SQ 410, BP 215, DL 425 1050.0 kgs @ 100kgs UnEq	Carl said:so a partial deadlift, when the only solid evidence is not irrelevant, different, yes, but not completely irrelevant do you not progress then tom? would you not expect your deadlift to increase 37.5k over the next 3 years? and the bar did come off the floor, a small amount, but it did move, not many people can even do that LOL well, aside from it being a partial deadlift, the bar is stupidly long and obviously bends a lot more, so it's even more of a partial deadlift. It sounded like you implied he is a good finisher? Surely 12.5kg extra on a partial deadlift isn't nearly enough headroom for someone who is a stronger finisher. Me? There's a good chance I could add 37.5kg to my deadlift in 3 years maybe even less. But then what? Progress like that doesn't last forever, especially when you're so close to the world record. How long did it take Andy Bolton to go from 1003 to 1008 lbs? Progress is no where near as linear once you get that advanced! If I ever pull 360kg as an 82.5, do you think after another 3 years I'd be knocking on the door of 400kg, still as an 82.5?

Hey, maybe I'll prove you right by pulling 445kg as an 82.5 in 10 years time.

some nice relaxing jazz. Member 77, 12599 posts SQ 265, BP 165, DL 280 710.0 kgs @ 93kgs UnEq	FFS!!!! He obviously attempted that weight a) he thought he'd have an outside chance of doing it or b) it was a bit of a 'get the crowd going' affair. Either way who gives a flying f**k did nobody see that 402 be destroyed?? Judas rocking priest

Nobbed she-ra whilst he-man watched Member 687, 260 posts SQ 170, BP 127.5, DL 215 512.5 kgs @ 87.7kgs UnEq	I reckon he's just chosen a strange weight like that to get people worried and thinking that he must have done something close in training. Smart man!

Gone and easily forgotten....... Member 331, 22298 posts SQ 185, BP 100, DL 230 515.0 kgs @ 85kgs UnEq	The 380 was the fastest 380 I've ever seen anyway.

Member 832, 522 posts SQ 50, BP 0, DL 0 50.0 kgs @ 74kgs UnEq	He minced the 402. If his only aim was to s**t up andy bolton then missing 1074 is hardly going to do that is it. Id have every confidence in Andy being able to miss that weight too!

Hey, maybe I'll prove you right by pulling 445kg as an 82.5 in 10 years time. a guy training for 10 years will probably progress faster than a guy training 25 years maybe not, but a guy pulling 450 @ 25 and a guy pulling 455 @ 38, who do you think will lift most in their lifetime??

I never disupted this! i even suggested he may be good enough to pull 460 already, and that you may be right about him having the best shot at the world record. My point was only that he can not pull 487.5 right now (evidenced by the video), pulling 450 3 years ago does not qualify him as being able to pull anywhere near 487.5, and neither does a 500 hummer tire deadlift. As impressive as the 402 was, there's no way it can be used to predict that he could've pulled anywhere near 487.5, or even above his current PB.
