Ever second bloke there claims a 400/500/600 as their lifts
My favourite was the bloke who claimed he didn't train, would come back after 2-3 years off, and bench 405lbs.
Strong guys in the youtube vids.

Is it common to use a clean grip deadlift at this sort of level?

Its funny when you search '400 raw bench' you either get equipped lifts or a whole bunch of guys with their ass off the bench like the sydney harbour bridge...

Well, however they hold their bums or whatever they wear, they're stronger than me and I respect that.
It's just the e-stats I'm not impressed by. It puts people off from lifting when they have no clear idea of what a beginner could be capable of, and how long it takes most people to get decent lifts - quicker than the beginner thinks, but slower than the e-statters make out.
I like to see genuine strength, and realistic approaches to getting that strength. Not blinding newbies with bullsht.

Speaking of hook grip I love these 2 videos.
YouTube - Koklyaev Mikhail dead lift 390*3
YouTube - Mikhail Koklyaev Dead lift 405 kilos.( IPF barbell)
I wonder what this guy is doing these days?

He made the dead-lift look very easy, his hips started quite low.
I noticed the grip, to me- it looks like a hook-grip.

what do you mean by "for a powerlifter"? In my experience IPF powerlifters squat a lot lower than most gym goers.

Phuck, here we go.
Bah! powerlifting squats. One day I was at a fitness first powerlifting challenge (we replaced the bench for the swiss ball crunch because benching is bad for the knees) when these olympic lifters came in.
We let them have a go - they took off their clothes and squatted as much weight as we could put on the bar ass to grass (their butts literally touched the floor and then they came back up) before proceeding to the parking lot to clean large trucks onto their backs and squat with those for reps (not to mention the swiss ball crunch records they set that day), though none of the lifts counted because they'd both drank cans of Mother before they came in (ie not 'raw').
