Scandanavians…I’ll tell you. God’s chosen people when it comes to making economical furniture, lifting enormous objects and creating austere yet safe cars.

I bet that kid grew up wrestling humpback whales or something. [/quote]

And making efficient minimialist furniture out of particle board and laminate that you can put together with one hex key. Ikea, you don’t have to be rich. Just Smart.

That was freaking insane! It looked like he could have done everything for 5 reps except that last deadlift attempt looked like he could probably only get 2 or three.

I’ve never seen anyone make it look so easy. It looked like he had another 50 lbs on his squat at least.

Carl is 4 years younger than the Russian, and trains extremely light = easy gains in the future.

He has never been over 350 k in training (film: - YouTube ), and never done more than 375 k in competition before this meet. Baby steps :wink:

Hope he continues with the deep squats :smiley:
Awesome to watch

I cannot believe that he can go so low in his Metal, if thats the viking IPF, then damn I suck, because I dont hink I can get that low in mine.

what was the reason for the reds on the 3rd bench attempt? I didnt see any real dipping. Was it not locking out at the same time? or butt off the bench?

Because it’s the IPF, and they are Nazis.

It looks to me like he stalled an inch or two above his chest, and the judge told them to take it right before he touched, which he did.

Nice deep squats too… Some of the squats I’ve seen have seemed a little questionable. But this guy wasn’t even close to borderline.

Hanley is the Prof X of the powerlifting board.

Yea that Carl Yngvar kid’s a beast…

He’s 18 and weighs 147kg?! Jesus christ.
