Oh, another partial range squat because full range he can't do close to as much. Too bad aliens don't land and force "power" lifters to do bottom pausing front squats without suits/gear so we can see their actual strength. Probably deduct 55% off this weight to start with. This criticism is not to say he isn't awesomely powerful next to ordinary men, but I don't buy the exaggeration of strength either. Powerlifting is not likely to reform squatting because too much ego is involved with bloated numbers. If their legs are stronger than O lifters, why don't they shut the O lifters mouths and do bigger clean and jerks? After all, leg power is the main driver in that lift. Answer---they'd never be able to stand from the low point of the squat clean, because they do not train that type of depth. But you know what? The USA supers jerk record is still held, not by Mark Henry or Ken Patera, but by an ex powerlifter. However his lift was still 62.8 pounds back of the Russian. What power lifting super will come forward and jerk 266.5KGS? Couldn't they do it, if they wanted to? Maybe, if they weren't slobs about not bottoming out because that cuts their numbers and their egos.
Man the leistungs are getting more popular among powerlifters instead of weightlifters ?! There were like 2 athletes wearing them during rio16
And he is clean. That makes it more impressive
is this the RAW World Record?
Well clearly rising at that speed he will beat this soon.
was he below parralel?

eric lillebridge who?
Noen som vet hva vekten hans var her?

Oscillation of bar is very hard to control and very dangerous at such weights. Go get these giants a thicker bar! Would you?
why is everyone talking about deadlift over squat? the 463kg deadlift broke into the mainstream news and everything but nobody seems to care much about these even bigger squats. imo squat is way more impressive! the load is ON your body!
how are the 5 spotters supposed to help carl if he fails?
Good Squat

He must have been training hard with Anders Behring Breivik, Norwegian bodybuilder and police.
