Gary frank Goes 2600lb total!!!

[powerlifterjay]

Have heard it through the vine but has been confirmed by a few, this weekend at the APF senior Nationals this weekend he did 1003 736 860. And i have met him and seen him compete live a few times and he can pull 900 or dam close so look for that total to go up even more. He is freakin awesome!

Also this weekend Steve Goggins went over 2400lb. Ed coan won his with a 22?? something total he could only pull a 700 dead do to bad biceps. But these three will go head to head at the WPO Semis in Aug and again at the WPO in NOv.

Geez.....thats impressive. I could see him taking the deadlift record (921 I think?). Do you think he could go much further with his bench?

Without a doubt he wil 920's dead. Hell he will go over 1050 squat also. Guarantee. If he goes 750 bench he will go over 2700. He will need 1050, 750, 900. Definitly in his grasp.

I was there and saw the man lift -- he has room. I don't know if he will be able to hit 2700 -- that's alot to ask of anyone. It's within his grasp though, he'll just have to put it all together in one meet. On a side note, Steve Goggins hit a 1003 squat -- at least 3-4 inches below parallel. Unreal. It was good to see him hit it because of all the crap he caught with his 1030 a few years ago.

Steve Goggins is awesome! And he squats pretty close doesnt he? He did with the 1030. If he gets his bench up he could go over 2500lbs. I wonder if he has heard of 2Xdenim!

It would be good to see him break 2500. He takes alot of flack on some powerlifting sites because of that 1030 squat....it would shut a few people up thats for sure.

Imnotdutch i see your from UK. Hows the powerlifting seen over there? Are there lots of meets?

 

[Imnotdutch]

We dont get as many meets as they do in the states. We only have 2 feds.....BAWLA (drug free and very strict on form) and the BPO (non-tested).....so that tends to limit things. And the meets are rarely well publicised....so we have a hardcore of lifters.
Around where I live, Birmingham, alot of our top lifters live. You might have heard of Clive Henry or John Neighbour. So its not so bad for me.....but in other parts of the country they have never even heard of the sport. And finding a gym with a power-rack is a bit of a nightmare.

On the upside, we can import and possess gear legally.

Sounds like a trade for one thing for another. So when you do compete you can be big and strong as hell with out worry!

Good to see BOTH of these greats doing their thing. I was at the Mountaineer Cup to see Ed collect his $10,000. His bicep looked kind of bad but he said the tendon is still intact. Cant wait to see the BIG SHOW august 12th!!!

Jamie Harris also did an exhibition bench of 771 and took a shot at 800 although both of the lifts didnt quite make it down to his chest.

Full report on all of these events in the august iss of PowerMag…
