I have seen that video before. I makes it look so easy. CT said Redding could front squat well over 800.[/quote]
Redding was by far the strongest olympic lifter of his era, maybe even ever. The only one I would see as being as strong is Enaldiev. His problem was that he didn’t handle pressure well. In minor competitions or training he would beat Alexeyev’s best but in the olympic and world championships Alexeyev always psyched him out.

Redding was the MAN, from what I heard, he was not only as you described not the best clutch performer, but was one of those “in the gym beasts” who sometimes left his best lifts in the gym during training and did not show up on contest day.

Wasnt he a Powerlifter before he turned BB Pro?
Push jerking an axle and a seated barbell press are nothing alike.
