The first and most obvious error is in the deadlift tables. Bolton pull 947 or something along those lines raw. That’s enough to make me skeptical of the rest!! Some serious numbers there tho.

They are only American records. Gathering world records for a definition of lifting that didn’t even really exist until recently, and still doesn’t exist in a lot of big powerlifting countries, would be a daunting task.

Shouldn’t really be “all time” then, should they??
It’s kinda a US thing to think they’re the centre of the world in powerlifting… Like you see people talking on forums about how “powerlifters squat high out of a mono and wear multiply gear” when in fact a tiny % of the worlds powerliftres do… but it’s what they’re exposed to so they assume it’s fact!

don reinhought is still the man. also, is greg lowe the same as greg “beetle” lowe? he was a prison lifter if i remember correctly.[/quote]
Damn… That must be the guy they interviewed for T-Nation a while ago then.
I dont see a problem in calling them what they are listed as. All time american records. If anyone is claiming they are world records then they are wrong.

I dont agree with that. It was made pretty clear on PLWatch that these were the all-time American records. As for “people talking on forums about how “powerlifters squat high out of a mono and wear multiply gear”” - well, half those people don’t even know what they’re looking at and think they can draw conclusions from a video of kroc taken 100 ft away and from a lower vantage point, or a video of donnie that’s so shaky it looks like it was filmed during an earthquake
It’s kinda an irish thing to think Americans are arrogant … Like you see people talking on forums about how “Americans think they’re the centre of the world in powerlifting” when in fact only a tiny % of americans think that… but it’s what they’re [the irish] exposed to so they assume it’s fact!

The headline on PLWatch does say that, and probably shouldn’t, but the very first sentence clarifies that it’s all-time american records
if I recall correctly from when this was first posted, there was some dispute over lifts that people said had been done raw, but not in a specifically raw division, and there was no photo/video proof that the lifts had been done raw, so no real way to verify it. shame.
