shit I don't think I could get that low...not even with 600...I would fall over first...remember , bodybuilding great Tom Platz used to go that low with 600+ for reps...no belt no wraps ...bodyweight at the 78 Mr america was around 185 ( they went by higth classes back then) four years later in 81 , when he looked his best , he weighed in at 213...so offseason was probably around 240 ..which isn't as impressive as 198LBS er but he wasn't a power lifter. http://www.bodybuilders.com/platz10.jpg
