Tell us your best ever strength feat, and why?

[spartacus]

What do you think your best strength feat in terms of lifting has been thus far? Can be comp or training

 

[bozodos]

squatted 122.5x20, it was as much of a mental battle as a physical one at the time.

100kg Snatch for me was a mile stone, chased it for over a year,

 

[spartacus]

yes, I will go with my 95kg snatch in comp 1982 when about 80kg.

Apart from that, 155kg power clean 1998, but on gear (98kg). did 135kg power clean without PEDs (94kg).

 

[spartacus]

Your not the only one mate. I chased snatch for years

290kg tire deadlift would be my favorite

That 20 reps is savage, was it part of a workout?

 

[spartacus]

sticky's 318kg deadlift at 90kg is fantastic.

 

[Sticky]

That 20 reps is savage, was it part of a workout?

Just off season training after worlds 2012.
My training partner and I did them for 6-8 weeks to give our joints a break.

He did 197.5x20, then next week 200x19. Collapsed on the 20th.

 

[jzpowahz]

Probably my 60kg x 161 rep squats. More Muscular endurance best though

 

[Bazza20]

200kg single handed deadlift.

 

[ink81]

227.5kg (502lb) Comp Bench Press @ ProRaw6 weighing 107kg with Ed Coan watching on

 

[0ni]

It's hard to pick one but the 600lb, 272.5kg deadlift at 75kg has to be at the top followed by the 171kg front squat and also the 380kg shrug I did back when I was natural

 

[D1cko]

I haven't done anything I consider strong really.
280kg Deadlift last August is probably my best effort, and maybe squatting 195kg x 3x3 late last year.

 

[jimmy]

200kg single handed deadlift.

fark, nice lift - what's the reason for doing a single handed deadlift? Injured or something, or just fucking around?

 

[Sticky]

I'm going to give 1 hand a go next session.

Stan Efferding did 227.5 for a double with 1 hand, though he used straps.
