Yeah, I for one don’t have any issue believing his claims–he doesn’t have anything to gain because he competed in olympic lifting.not the big 3, and he is such a humble guy of good character. Unfortunately they weren’t sanctioned or videod so they can’t count in the discussion of meet totals :('. sucks cuz I love that guy. I believe the 1200 lb squat was done in the back warm up room during an Olympic Games, with fellow olympic competitors as witnesses. Not necesssrily right before platform time, but I mean during their regular workouts in the facilities.
I know that this is PLing, but would Taranenko have had a chance? He high bar oly-style squatted 837 with a 2 second pause, and fronted 660 x 3 when he stopped trying, plus the guy pulled weights off the ground like they were nothing. Nevermind. Its all speculation and there is a difference between 1000 any way, and 837 high bar.

You don’t know what you’re talking about. ‘The guys’ that can DL 1000 lbs include Andy Bolton and Benedikt Magnusson. That’s it. Only Magnusson has done it raw. Bolton has squatted 1200 lbs equipped. Nobody has squatted 1000 raw. So out of the 2 guys that can pull 1000, 1 has squatted over 1000.[/quote]
You count equipped?
I was assuming he was talking about raw.
No one has done it raw, and off the top of my head I can’t think of anyone who is particularly close either except maybe Andrey.

Actually, I assumed the OP didn’t know what the fuck he was talking about in the first place, since he said ‘we’ve all seen all those videos of people squatting and DL’ing 1000’. Since there are exactly 2 videos of 1000lb deadlifts, I figured he’s at least seen several 1000lb squat vids. Which would have to be equipped, obviously. Whether the OP knew he was watching equipped vids or not, I don’t know. I tend to think not. I don’t think he has much of a handle on the sport of powerlifting, and that he just wanted to get a conversation going about specialization, based on observations he thought he had made. Like someone else mentioned, there are 1000 lb tire deadlifts out there, and I’m not sure OP really understood how different that is from a PL deadlift.
I think the part of your response that I didn’t quote was pretty spot on. A raw squat and deadlift over 1000, or 950 for that matter, would be tremendous in the span of a lifting career. I doubt we’ll see it in 1 meet anytime soon. [/quote]
I simply thought there was a few more guys that had done it, that’s all. And I meant a PL dead not a tire deadlift. And I don’t know everything about powerlifting, I just wanted to know if anyone has gotten over 1000lbs on both lifts
Speaking of 1000lb deadlift, Brian Shaw looks to be damn close if he wanted to focus on PL instead of strongman. Using straps here for the 985, but not far off for sure.
I know… and I fixed it once already but then it turned into a wbod again. Anyway, it was the video of Mark Henry’s best squat and deadlift in the same meet.
