Recently I have been reading and watching a lot of dave hoff, the guy is a total freak. He not only has multiple world records, but also the 2nd person to total 3000 (btw he totaled 3005-world record). But I was wondering what his raw total might be. Surely someone who benches 1000 equipped can bench 600. But I’m not sure about the other lifts. If anyone has any info on his raw lifting, feel free to comment because it’d be more than happy to know
The 1210 squat was complete bullshit
The 975 bench didn’t make it to lock out
No wonder he only pulled 820, it’s hard to cheat on a deadlift
If you find clips of him lifting raw with full ROM it would most likely disappoint your expectations.
I think it’s hilarious when he starts pushing people after his lifts.
I’ll give him a 2000 pretend raw total. There lol
Depends on how many boards he stuffs in his singlet.
YOU COULDNT UNRACK THAT. GODDAMN INTERNET JUDGE GEEKS
also carbidius, there was an interview with wendler where he said sumo lifters can get about 100-200 pounds out of a suit
I dont think it would blow anyones mind, theres a reason he doesnt do raw meets.
While I understand it is the new cool to belittle multi-ply lifters performing in meets with dodgy lifting standards, I’m pretty sure he could total something pretty damn decent without equipment. Probably more than anyone on this site ever will be.

Decent, probably. But there are some pretty awesome totals on this site, so I would be skeptical that he could beat them.
Multi-ply is multi-ply and there’s nothing wrong with it. But Dave Hoff deserves everything he gets for the depth of his squats.

I actually like multiply, single ply, and all things lifting just because it is something that interests me, but I absolutely despise Dave Hoff. Granted I have formed my opinion of him from little snippets of youtube clips but watching him just gets under my skin. While the man is undoubtedly extraordinarily strong, all of his lifts are at least somewhat inflated. He is almost a poster child for the parts of geared lifting that alienate others.

Oh yeah? Who do you think could outlift him? Maybe I missed somebody completely but I’m pretty sure nobody would come close.
Btw, I’m hardly a fan of multi-ply let alone DH but there is no excuse to being an ignorant “hater”.
Not interested in the debate on the person mentioned, but there are IPF record holders that have posted in this forum (not the same weight class). (I’m pretty sure I saw a video of clutz with a IPF world record in the bench somewhere.)
i dont have much to say about dave hoff specifically, but there are some high level geared lifters that still move some damn heavy weight raw. best example off the top of my head is brian carroll. Same weight class as dave hoff. best squat is 1185 multi ply and he moves 650 raw pretty easily. depth is a little high on his 650 raw squat but i believe that because he was just coming back from rehabbing his back for 6 months or something like that.
now that i take a closer look i think he might be wearing briefs on the 650 squat. so here is 600 that i know is raw.

I definitely couldn’t outlift him. Exactly who on this site could outlift him depends on the original question of what exactly you think his raw total would be. But as was said above, there are world record holders on this site. Eric Spoto posted here for a while. There are several guys that post on here that have 800lb deadlifts.
Squat is obviously the hardest to gauge, but I would be surprised if he could squat an especially impressive amount raw to depth. Just to be able to walk out a squat and hit depth he would have to completely change his form. At that point, it’s really hard to say what he hits.
In general, I don’t think the attitude of assuming that someone is beyond reproach because he outlifts you is helpful. That’s especially true if we accept someone’s high squats and then can’t criticize him because he ‘squats more than we do.’
Wait, so 1200 in multi-ply equals a raw 600lb half squat (maybe 3/4)? Granted he had some good speed so that probably wasn’t a max. But still, I know there are guys here who can squat 600 raw (and actually hit depth).

No names, eh? I figured as much.
The depth of his multiply squats wasn’t the issue.
this shit again? fuck guys come on.
I’m suprised how (relatively) unmuscular he is considering the the ridiculous amount of weight he lifts. Getting dwarfed by Donnie Thompson here…
Some of the guys at Outlaws (who actually train alongside Hoff at Westside) said that Hoff is probably good for 750-550-750. So 2050 raw total.
