@polskishelby When andy was 21 he deadlifted 1058 lbs with straps. if andy was to compete in 220lbs division hed still be brutaly strong. dont forget the bigger the weight is the more you need to weigh for the leverage and extra support needed around the joints.
wow hes arrogant, but i suppose he has reason to be. i wish he did some raw stuff aswell, nobody abtually knows how strong he is when you take away the suit, wraps, monolift and 500 spotters, id be interested to see how much he could squat then
He doesn't train for raw lifts so its a stupid statement. He trains to lift the most weight possible with the gear allowed. I prefer raw events but you can't compare Andy Bolton to say Scott Mendelson and vice-versa, their strength is specfic to their disciplines.
Andy Bolton is a top bloke, always smiling. Good on ya andy. Oh and he's one strong c*^#.

Its amazing how his equipped deadlift isnt far off of his raw, he still pulled around 965 lbs raw recently.

Ed Coen is the greatest ever.
1008.6 (457.5) *2.90X @ 346.72 Lbs SHW Andy Bolton
901.7 (409.0) *4.10X 220lbs Ed Coan
Any real powerlifter knows what these numbers really mean.
And don't count out Benedikt Magnússon, still has a good 10 years to go till he even thinks about retiring

@polskishelby if ur gonna do relative strength then check out Lamar Gant, he is the greatest ever.

If all the gear got taken away he would probably still be the best, they all have the same stuff. He is gifted.
Andy is the man and he will be for as long as he lifts. In my opinion anyway.

I think he's not arrogant at all. He just says the truth, that he's the best living powerlifter.
If somebody beats him one day, I'm sure he'll go straight to his opponent and say "good job, mate!".
If everybody knows you are the best but you say you are not, well, that's pathetic.

Well the suit and wraps and spotters would only help in the squat and probably bench too. The deadlift is really just "all you".

He's not arrogant. He is stating what he is capable of and what he has done.

If spotters touch the bar during the lift, its a no-lift. They can help you rack and unrack. That's it.
I also love how people assume it's all the gear. Bolton is a strong, strong man. That's it, get over it.
