    Thought I'd put this up here in case anyone who cares hadn't seen this yet. New world record (he had the old one too) and 460/465 doesn't look too far away judging by the bar speed.

    Shocking form though....;)

    Check out his warmups too, he makes ~300kg look like 100kgs. Very very impressive

    He's one sick puppy. I assume squat and bench were tokens?

    Bolton pfft...
    I've done twice that at half the weight ;)

    Awesome stuff. 500kg possible?

    He left no doubt this time eh??? The 1003 he did the year before last was brutal by comparison. Looks like he's sorted his grip issues out too!

    It's taken over a year to add 2.5kg....

    He pulled 425ish kg 3 or 4 years ago and 455kg late 2007 I think.

    It's possible.... And I'd love to see him do it, but I'd have my doubts.

    That would be like a 9.00 100m's. I don't know if it's even humanly possible

    Just thinking God bless the poor waitress at whatever restaurant they went to to celebrate :eek:

    Podge get yourself to the nearest McDonalds and don't leave except to train and I reckon you'll give Andy a run for his money!
