there was a crazy video circulating somewhere of some teenage pulling 700 plus RAW(maybe it was here) and i could not believe my eyes.
btw, i am also a sceptic of internet number claims(remember the deadlift thread, about half the people posting pulled over 550-600 RAW under 200lbs of bodyweight, HA!) funny, on that thread, i was the ONLY one who posted a video, maybe a few people posted pics, but none of the more outlandish numbers had pics or video to back it up.
that being said, there are a lot of very strong people out there who lift insane numbers, and choose not to compete. so just because the national records are “x”, does not mean some freak in thier garage gym somewhere can’t lift “y”.
in other words i doubt it, but if he posts a video i will be pleasantly suprised and proven very wrong.
If you can really do that you should compete, the USAPL American record for 18-19 of any weight class is 710 and the IPF World Record is 740, so you would be in a league all by yourself. Those records are also with Gear so it being raw is even crazier.
Awesome. Well done bro. I’m delighted someone on here actually backed up their claim. I don’t want to rain on anyone’s parade but it’s still not quite 3x bw. Looking at the 330 pull tho you’s so close. Just keep at it and go set some recrods.

Well shit on me - sorry for the skeptisism, but this is the internet after all.
3x bwt. deadlifts aren’t all that rare. In my profile, there is a poor quality pic of me doing just that. I was wearing a power suit but I’ve done it raw as well.

Yea, but you’re one of the strongest guys on the net.

You are right, at lighter weights 3x bw isn’t that rare, even 4x bw is doable, but with the heavier weights it becomes more rare. A 275’er doing 3x bw will be world class. Strength does not increase linearly with an increase in body size.
