[Chambewy20]

From that link:

WPO semifinals, Oct. 30 2005

Garry Frank - BWT 164.3 kg = 361 lbs

Squat - 480 kg = 1058 lbs

BP - 365 kg = 805 lbs

DL - 395 kg = 870 lbs

Total - 1240 = 2733 lbs.







Good lord. That's not even his best meet!

No shit dude and he probably only did it to qualify to compete in the Arnold.

He didn't have a great year this past year, as always... everyone is injured, it just depends on who's turn it is... "a blind squirrel gets a nut once in a while"

Good thing I'm a Buckeye, hoping to go watch that shit this year at the Arnold. Unfortunately could only find articles inferring Frank will hit 2800, no proof, haven't looked through APF stuff yet, may check MonsterMuscle, those guys are pretty good at always posting world records, will let ya know!!!

That'd be great. I did a google search on "powerlifting world record" and got Michael Soong's All-Time Historical records from powermagonline.com. It gives a list of all world records at all classes & in 3 lifts & total, but doesn't say exactly what made the totals. It says Garry Frank did 2805 lbs. on 4/3/2005

Yeah sorta missed, that http://www.worldpowerlifting.org/Results103005.pdf

This is from Chicago, don't know if he's hit 2800 yet.

He has hit 2805, cannot find the breakdown though.

I just found out that Garry Frank is credited with totalling 2800+ lbs. First, Good God! 2nd, does anyone know exactly what his 3 lifts were for that day? That has to be, like, 1000-1100 lb Squat, 750-800 Bench, and 950 Deadlift. Jesus H. Christ.

2004 APF Jacksonville Open

1085 Squat
837 Bench
881 Deadlift

2805 Total

It must suck to almost bench as much as you dead. God save the Queen!!!!

triple ply denim doesn't help the pull too much

Yeah, that's my point. I think he's the strongest powerlifter of all time (so far anyway). No one else has ever been so proficient at ALL THREE lifts, not even Kaz.

Even without supportive gear, I think Garry is probably a legitimate 700 lb. bench-presser, while Kaz did about 660 (I think) (maybe even with a 1970's bench shirt, I don't know.)

Kaz deadlifted about 880 in 3-lift meets, while Garry has sometimes pulled over 900 (Garry held the Deadlift world record at 935 until just a few weeks ago when Benedikt Magnusson pulled a freakish crazy 970 -- in a single-lift meet.)

I would guess that with same equipment or no equipment, Kaz & Garry would Squat about the same.

So Garry Frank & Bill Kazmaier (Kaz is the gold standard) with either no gear, or both with the same supportive gear, would probably Squat about the same, but Garry would Bench more than Kaz by probably 50 lbs or more, and possibly pull about 50 lbs. more. So Garry Frank would beat Kaz by at least 50-100 lbs. on Kaz's very best day.

That's the real deal!

Kaz did 660 raw.

I don't know if Garry can do 700 raw or just got better at getting more out of his shirt but I am willing to believe that he is pretty close.

But one thing to consider is Garry Frank is HUGE, I would guess he outweighs Kaz on his heaviest day by 50-60 pounds.

I much more impressed with totals versus bodyweight rather than coefficients. If a 400 lb. man squats a grand, that's impressive, but when a 132 lb woman squats 550, that's really impressive, not only because she's a woman, but because rather than squatting 2.5 times your body weight, she squatted over 4 times her body weight.

Rock on Amy W., Westside Rules!!!
