I just read of Brent Mikesell's 1174(?) squat recently. Incredible. I wondered when Clark's and Passanella's squat records would fall.
However, if the numbers are correct, Mikesell is still a significant ways off from the all-time squat record - 1230! Paul Anderson allegedly lifted this back in the 60s. He also stated that in his workouts, he routinely did half-squats with 1500 and quarter-squats with 2000. (I wonder what kind of bar he used for that?)
Any comments?

Right - I knew I might have been off on Mikesell's poundage a bit. Still, 1141 is awesome. And I know that it's the "official" record. Anderson's lift was before the association even came into existence, so none of his lifts have been officially recognized. Anderson benched 627 and deadlifted over 800 - quite respectable. But he is known for his leg strength, which is why excelled in the squat. He also did a back lift of 6,270 lbs. - a feat never equalled and the most weight ever lifted by a human (if you disregard Samson of the Old Testament, who may have a gripe with that!)

paul anderson was naturally built for strength. the first time he ever tried squatting. he did over 400 pounds for reps easy. and then another time without lifting he did 500 for a triple. he also did not have good knowledge of nutrition for lifting in his days so who knows how far he could have went with good supplements and nutrition.

And Mikesell is the fuggin' man. What's his deadlift, by the by? Having only four fingers on one hand must make things a bit tricky.
Mikesells deadlift is in the low 800's. Not sure what it is exactly, but i think i remember him doing 804 at one meet, and one meet of him doing 815 or so.Bench: 500 Paused Inzer Rage Single Ply (training @ 198 lbs) RAW Bench: 410 @ 195, 415 @ 202, Best RAW Bench Reps: 320 X 11, 340 X 6 (heavily fatigued to), 350 X 5, 375 X 3 Paused, 370 X 4, Best 230 for Reps Set: 30 Reps, Incline: 355
Squat: 540 (belt/wraps well below paralell)
Deadlift: 520 RAW just a belt.
Total: 1510 @ 216 LBS and 20 years old
Best Competition Bench Press: 430 Lbs @ 216 Lbs (Dont worry, this WILL VASTLY IMPROVE!!!!!)

anderson lifted 1206. There is some debate as to whether he went to paraell though. The official world record is the 1174 since Anderson never preformed his squat in a powerlifting meet.

thomas !!
you know what the real shame is thomas , that you will believe something so dumb , the wonder of nature was strong no doubt but he was not strong enough to squat 1230 , maybe above parrallel , i have about 5 videos of him one he is squatting about 900 , but i doubt it was low enough to get white lights , i do have one of him squatting around 1230 but that was above parallel

Not really sure on anything else but I am sure that roids were around then, as germans were known to have used them for their soldiers in WWII. Heck for all I know if could have been the germans that originally developed them... gene freaks.
