Kind of funny, Serge set the world record, then 5 minutes later Vasily broke it, but I believe serge's was better, he had like zero leg drive on his, still, vasily lift is still really impressive

[Arlecchino]

Thanks for the clips of Redding.

How about Tommy Kono? I would be impressed beyond words if someone could manage this one, given how long ago he lifted. I saw an old (black and white) clip of him lifting once, when I was a kid.

[PrivateBaldrick]

Here's some Kono.

Hey, that looks like the NorCal Open. Did you come all the way from Texas to compete there? Good lifting, by the way. Did you see the guy who did 190/230?

Yes it is.
No I didn't.
Thanks.
No I didn't.

I moved to Lake Tahoe a few months ago. The User CP won't let me change much of my info unless I start a Bodyspace page. I'm not interested in that sort of thing. I had a 4-5 hour drive, so I left after the 85s finished and didn't see the heavier lifters. I didn't realize that a super from Bulgaria would be lifting.
