Powerlifting meet of the century Nov 3rd (Babyslayer, Efferding, Lilliebridge, Spoto)

[Claymore1]

indeed, I honestly expected him to bomb out but to put that up, especially since his pec tore with the 716 so his body probably wouldnt "allow" him to blast it up as fast as usual, was really impressive. He probably was good for 660-670ish tops if he took that as his second so props to mendy

And Creed I never realized how big you were, you fit right in there along with the big guys. Ever think about competing or do you lift as more of a hobby?

LOL Thanks I've been trying to help Stan and Eric for the last year, after May 19th when Eric smashes the record it's time for me to get serious !!!! I love working out, but competing is where it's at for me.

Was my first meet and I got to see a 2300 total and Ed Coan was head judge, freakin awesome. BTW I don't think I've ever felt scrawnier in my entire life than when I took a pic stading between Stan and you, Creed!

It was a pleasure meeting you brother.

So, what's Stan's plans now? I think there was talk of retiring?

As of right now we're gonna just relax and have some fun, no talk of anything until at least June/July.

I'd love to see Stan continue to try and set some records, but then again there's not a whole lot left for him to do. He can hang em up without any significant injury that may affect his quality of life from here on out. We've already seen what an ego can do to a lifter just recently.

THIS ^^^ Stan has nothing more to prove, the risk vs reward just isn't enough.

Don't know if you guys have seen this version....

In that picture with eric, is that sean?

Nope. Here he is

[adamsz]

I actually competed with Sean K last weekend.

He did DL only and pulled something in the 400s which he said was a post-heart surgery PR. IIRMC he also helped two other DL only guys compete for their first time. He seemed like a respectful helpful guy for the most part IRL.

Can't really comment on his online persona though.

so happy for stan! that dealift at the end was pure will power lol

anyone have any other videos of mendelsons bench? they took the video down apparently

[showmestate08]

That third bench was pretty epic too... very inspirational. I can't even imagine what was going through his mind if he is actually planning to retire.

[allergic2rice]

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.

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.
