agreed with the previous posts. Stan definitely has nothing more to prove on the platform. He will go down as one of the sport's all-time greats. Right up there with Coan, Kirk, etc. I really wish I could see Stan break that 900 squat barrier though, would be a very cool lift. But no one can blame him if he decides to retire

Stan did what he had to do. It's extremely difficult to come back and hit a lift that you miss on the platform especially when that lift is your 100% or more. Stan did it twice once in the squat and once in the bench. I know he wanted a 900 squat, but 865 was his 100% that day. To miss it and then come back and nail is pretty sweet.
I'm guessing his thoughts were that this is my last chance and I'm gonna go out giving it all I got. Stan can still train and be around and a part of powerlifting. Creed says he wants to compete and Eric is still going. Stan can just chill, workout, helpout, and still enjoy the sport without all the aches and pains and knowing he's at the top for while. A pretty sweet deal if you ask me.1708 total @220 Raw
Improve my total every time I step on the platform.
Being a male is a matter of birth. However, being a "man" is a matter of choice.

Thanks George, we appreciate it brother !!!! How's the new house ??
I'll tell you what was going through his mind..."If I miss this **** Ed & Creed will make fun of me forever" lol right now we're just gonna help Eric for May 19th and then will see what's up.
That sounds good Zack, but we're attention whores !!! LMAO
