Serge Redding - 502lb. (228kg.) Clean & Press

FOR me reding was the best i've ever seen

I agree with mouseman71. I'm 5'7" (or I was in 1970; I've shrunk since then!), and when I stood next to Reding, he seemed just a bare shade shorter than me. He was often listed as 5-foot-8, but I always thought that was inaccurate. 5'6", 295 seemed to be his actual stats at his peak. Of course, shoes make a difference, but shod or unshod, Serge was a regular cast-iron fire hydrant of a man.

I was on an elevator with this guy at the Worlds in Columbus, Ohio, in 1970. We were exactly the same height, 5'6".

What an infamy for the bodybuilders omg

holy shit tht was insane he cleaned tht like it was his job and then pressed it like nothing fucccckkkk lol but how come all the worlds strongest men r fatt?

body building for looks is different from power lifting.

they're not fat because they're strong, but their frames do lend themselves well to weight-training cos they naturally have a lot of brute strength but not a lot of stamina

Holy shit.

Slightly narrow hand spacing but maybe what worked best for him. Then they passed Alexeev's 507 done with a leg kick. In meet years ago, a Bulgar 67.5 class lifter "pressed" 157.5, Mladen Kuchev I think was his name, he used exaggerated cheat, it passed, while Russ Knipp's great lift in Munich was turned down due to Communist influenced judges. Same type judges in this Lima, Peru, meet were biased in favor of Alexeev. USSR was more "important" than Belgium but all knew Serge was STRONGER!!!

look pal, just because youre a skinny so called bodybuilder who do nothing good than spamming great vids with Bodybuilders and strongmen whilst shouting OMGZ STERIOIDZZ.

You lame brah, YOU LAME.
