Great stuff. Thanks for posting. Powerlifting, at its essence, is such a fantastic sport. Too bad all the varied federation fighting and crazy equipment has largely stalled its momentum.
Weird how absolute strength levels have not increased all THAT much in 30 years. Just goes to show you what the gear's done to distort perceptions. Raw, humans have not gotten stronger in the way many "records" might indicate.
@AmusingYeti Had the biggest turn out of competitors ever this year in the Irish GPC powerlifting championships. I guess all that can be done is to promote it like you're doing. Hosting these videos and hopefully getting people interested when they see them.
@squod1 Unfortunately strength sports are shunned by most people because of the negative stereotypes associated with them. They are seen as "unsafe" "unhealthy" and for "meatheads"
As we know the truth is far from this. I am from the UK and I spent ages moving around sports not enjoying most of them. I was then exposed to strongman and the rest is history. Strength sports are not followed in the UK. Glad I managed to get on the train!

Hats off to powerlifting's pioneer athletes.
