General Powerlifter Larry Wheels squats 900lbs
- Thread starter Soup

Not sure when that was, Larry is always trying new shit, but is unquestionably one of the strongest guys in the world.
Although, I don't get going that heavy out in the open with that type of squat rack. Seems like a recipe for disaster if something goes wrong

agreed, those spotters wouldn't have done shit besides getting hurt
Once you're going *that* heavy, unless you have five EXTREMELY burly dudes as spotters (one behind you and two on each side), they're not gonna be able to do much for you. And even then, they're typically best employed in powerlifting style scenarios where the guy Squatting is suited up to the point that he can't move / walk / be very nimble on his own. If he was, he'd just dump the bar off his back and let it drop.
Under maybe 400-500lbs, a spotter (provided they're big / strong enough, know what they're doing, etc) can be helpful on Squat.
Over that - and certainly this heavy - unless, as I said above, a lifter is prohibited by his gear, he's gonna be best off just dumping the bar.

And if he does, he'll make modern day Ronnie Coleman look vibrant.
Agreed with all of that, but why not in a cage or with the straps hanging that catch the weight if dumped?
Also, Chit is probably right. Not sure why he even does BB. As strong as he is, it just doesn't translate to the stage, at all.
I don’t feel like this is all that great of a thing to do
What do you get for doing it ?

Duffin was more impressive.
Being he doesnt have that whole blackleticism thing going on.
Indeed. Coleman is like a living "cautionary tale"
That's a damn clean 2 reps. I have a couple pics of his/Kabuki equipment. Good stuff
When I had a basement gym, I had the duffalo and transformer bars.
The transformer bar is amazing... I loved that thing.
Unfortunately, some weird shit happened with Kabuki where Duffin got pushed out or something. Apparently the new deffalo bar is being sold through 'Weight it Out' who have some pretty cool plates.
Yeah, lots of drama happened there. There business model was all over the place. A bud worked there. Yeah, the transformer bar is a cool piece. I have the Kadillac Bar and ShoulderRok.
