he has got some fuckin huge legs

[IJIT11809]

@bretchet23 Yeah Wilkerson is truly a beast for that 975 squat. It's typical SPF american fashion just above parallel...He's strong as shit no doubt, and one of my favorite guys. and yes, I consider belt and wraps raw. But it just doesn't get any better or cleaner than Pat's 800...that video is blowing the world away right now on the Forums whereas Rob's video is getting blasted for being a half squat, which isn't true.

[bretchet23]

@IJIT11809 google wilkerson 975. it's literally the first result. he did that in early '10. malanichev will probably be the first to hit 1k raw and rob will be the 2nd. for the record, there isn't a single org in existence that doesn't consider belt and wraps raw. if you don't, that's your problem.

[IJIT11809]

@bretchet23 can't find it. doesn't exist. He's squatted 830 with a belt and wraps and all of a sudden he's squatting 975...you're burnt. Pat's 800 Raw squat at 20yrs is the law. I've only seen one better and that's an Israeli doing over 900 just like Pat but I can't find the video so who gives a shit right? yeah wilkerson's 975 my ass...lol. 

[bretchet23]

@IJIT11809 look it up. wilkerson did 975 easy and below parallel. who gives a shit about walking it out. it's called a squat not a walkoutsquatwalkbackin.

[IJIT11809]

@bretchet23 you're shittin me right? Rob Wilkerson's NOT squatting 975 raw. only video of his raw squat is 835 and that's with a belt. Nobody's unrackin 800, walking it out, shitting it on the floor, stand back up, and rack it except for Pat; and he does it without 3 idiots spotting him. What can bondarenko, malanichev, and wilkerson squat without the belt and knee wraps??? Only video of donnie thompson squatting raw is 870, with a belt and knee wraps and he was red lighted on depth...

[bretchet23]

@IJIT11809 i don't doubt that pat will be breaking records in the future. but he's still 192 pounds away from malanichev and 175 away from wilkerson's raw record.

[IJIT11809]

@bretchet23 the numbers certainly don't lie. Chad and Donnie, who both are enormously strong, NEVER squatted 800lbs. in the manner Pat did at 20yrs of age. and I know both right now couldn't bench 660 Raw with a pause like Kiril Sarychev, who also is 20yrs old. Yep, and when pat and kiril are chad and donnie's age, there will be another youngster even stronger. That's the law.

[bretchet23]

@IJIT11809 we'll see whenever mendes turns their age. until then, he's not even in donnie's or chad's league. the numbers dont lie

[IJIT11809]

@bretchet23 Pat's way stronger than chad or donnie was at 20 yrs old. chad and donnie at 20 never could touch an 800 raw squat. When Pat's their age he'll be repping their current maxes. That's the law.

chad and donnie don't max out on squats 2 to 3 times a day 7 days a week. Pat does. you don't know shit about john broz and his coach Antonio Krastev or the Bulgarian method. American powerlifting is a joke.
