I like how he presses the weight up.

This, to me, was and maybe still remains the greatest display of pure Olympic lifting strength ever shown. Serge Reding was a phenomenally strong athlete. I know Alexeev lifted 5 pounds more that same meet to beat him, but Alexeev used far more back arch and technique. The great Russian himself admitted Reding was stronger, and in training apparently did even more impressive lifts than this one. But the Russian had a knack for outsmarting and outpsyching his competition.

But although Reding is gone, he is not forgotten. I believe he was the first man to snatch 400 as well, and I remember seeing it on television, it was as pure and smooth as this clean and press.             Doc

Can anyone here other than Dr. PowerClean name the third man who officially pressed over 500lbs? Bonus points if you know the exact weight.

That’s amazing, but I’m more amazed by KingKRS’s avatar.

T-Nation needs a video section.

Yeah, but that’s not a 1RM thing. It’s more of an as-much-you-can-do-in-X-seconds thing.
