@@ryan19754 it's a well known fact among the sports science community that he natural, the guy voluntarily used get bi weekly PED tests done before major competitions, though off season it was a randomised monthly test. He never failed once and he's one of the reason why drug free federations are on a prominent level today, he left powerlifting because of all the PED use.

[@TheFelipe10848]

This is a RAW 490 kg SQUAT. This lift is sooo underrated it's almost unfair. People outside of the lifting community know about the 500 kg deadlift and don't know about this, when the 500 deadlift is performed with a deadlift suit and straps...

[@dummy9517]

Doesn't make any less impressive. Also, deadlifting 500 is harder than squatting it, IMO.

[@akingbadeomosebi1495]

​@@dummy9517 Not really... Squat is more difficult than deadlift.

[@jjmarcos]

@@akingbadeomosebi1495 it is and it isnt. Some people have body types that favor squat. Look at many elite squatters (Ray included), they can usually squat more than they can deadlift.

[@stephenst0312]

I think they should strength test the spotters before any major powerlifting meet, there’s no way the spotters on the last squat would’ve saved him if he had injured himself or something. (I say injured because he would still be able take most of the weight if he had just gotten stuck at the bottom). Look up the video “Faulty Spotters at IPF Worlds” for examples of why they need to do this And since I feel like someone is gonna see my profile picture and say “you look skinny you probably wouldn’t be able to help either” you’re probably correct, that’s why I don’t sign up to spot at major meets

[@tommonk1676]

Thomas Stephens i reckon they should get the other competitors to spot because they all are around the same strength and two on each side would be soooo much more safer than two skinny spotters
