: squat at 1052 (a few inches deep boys and
: girls). Third attempt......1075!!!! Smoked
: again and plenty deep. He had another 15
: pounds at least in him today. (I will post
: pics later on this week.)

: His numbers were: 1075 sq; 562 bp; 766dl
: (missed 804 half way up when he tore his
: hand AGAIN) Total was 2403 in the Canandian
: Powerlifting Championships held in Red Deer.

: GOOD GOD! UNBELIEVABLE! Brent needs to come to the Mtn Cup in June...and try for some dough! Congrats Brent!


That's just amazing - wonder how long it'll be untill we see 1100!!

Damn!!!

If that dude had all his fingers, he might be closing in on 2500. I would guess that 1100 is right around the corner.

Impressive.

That is insane!!

Huge Weight...

I saw Tony Saunders squat 950+ a couple of weeks ago. He opened with 901 lbs. I believe. Let me tell you when you see someone squat down with 900+ lbs. on the bar it's like a religious experience. Brent Mikesell squatted 100+ lbs. more. You just can't appreciate what these guys are doing. Barring injuries, I believe Brent will squat 1,100+ lbs. before the end of this year. The guy is one of the best powerlifters in the game and he doesn't get the recognition he deserves. Truely inspiring!

Shit i couldnt walk out with 1000 none the less 1075. Those guys handling over 1000 lbs are freaks and are truly the knigs of this sport. What inspires me is when i see 220lb Chuck Vogalphol hit 1000. Not saying being big doesnt count for big lifting, i peersonally just cant relate to being a big ass cornfed powerlifter that can pick up and squat anything. I wish i was naturally that way. Like scewball! Just silly big.

I have met Gary Frank a couple of times and he is so freakin huge his wrists look like there bigger then my forearms. Someone that size has a much better chance in the brute strength lifts such as deads and squats. As far as over all biggest lift, no matter what weight.

Brent Mikesell is the king of the squat. Period. Even if someone else does it, he did first.

WOW. thats all i can say.. its incredible what numbers they're putting up... thats 4 x my squat plus 15 lbs! incredible!

I'm having such a hard time in fathoming anybody squatting 500 pounds, let alone twice of that.

I'm surprised these people are even human!

Simply amazing.
