This guys squat is so ridiculous, just felt like plopping this here.
Damn that’s impressive. Did he break the total record too?
Complete insanity.

No can’t remember his exact total for the day but missed a 501 bench and really messed his hand up which drastically reduced his dead lift performance. Believe he only pulled into the high 7s which with the hand injury made it even more impressive.
Man, what am epic battle between him and Dan Green
Heres the entire meet with a synopsis of everything by Duffin. Think he totaled ~2100 with wraps.
He switched to conventional?!

He did this meet because his hand I think.

Because of his elbow.
He can pull 900 sumo with wraps. This puts his elbow in better position due to being double overhand.
In a meet he pulls mixed grip, which places strain on his elbow due to injury/surgery. This limits his grip potential, and causes him to pull less.
In the video he says that he is training for a meet in november, and that he is pulling conventional to save his elbow from stresses that may derail his build up to that meet.
The guy has a great story, and seems very nice/well spoken. I emailed him a while back, and he was very polite.
