Click to expand... it puts things into perspective doesnt it. thats why i gave up on pl'ing a few years ago and switched to bb'ing. i couldnt hit the 650lb dl to save my life. but i am able to hold some size. so i turned into one of the guys i used to laugh at.

b fold the truth Elite Strongman Platinum Jun 23, 2009 #8 I think Amy Weisberger pulled 500 at 148 last year...but there is only 1 Amy Laura Phelps-Sweatt recently competed and did a 745 squat, 500 bench, and 525 deadlift in the 181 class as well. Always remember that YOU have to be happy. Man, you have accomplished a 510 deadlift, nobody can take it away from you!!!

She is not even breaking parallel with those squats, how do they pass in competition? Power lifting has become a joke.
