[winston678]

big 50 kilos plates were too heavy for nothing . 45 kilos is heavy enough . now they dont use them anymore

[feddan]

Fy fan, 422 är ju WPC klass.

oh my the bar is now bent from the lift

O_o

[ofnair]

Det är otrloigt att han klarade det när han var tvungen att lyfta av vikten en gång till.

[ofnair]

Var det raw? Was it a raw lift?

[triisgaard]

IPF = belt + knee bands (no suit/briefs).

[ofnair]

Thank you for the info. What I've heard was it taht in those times the kneewraps weren't nearly as effective as they are today.

[triisgaard]

I don't know in regards to the knee wraps, but I think they acted more as support for the knees back then, and not so much to increase the lift.

[ofnair]

Sp do I think.

[einlajo]

Of course they increased the lift.

[einlajo]

No, there is quite a difference. Got som old knee wraps from -83 that I saved for fun.

[stevebc]

They did have suits back then, but they were not as strong as today's.

[einlajo]

Nej. Knälindor + Marathondräkt ser det ut som.

[bighankkreator]

Well of course my friend. He is Swedish so he is strong for sure.

[powerlifter770]

Realy... Very strong man.
