@Troy06625 umm, he was actually a bodybuilder…..
@KTMONEY100 right, but he deadlift over 750 with 200 bw 😉
Trained with Estep and Frenn back in 1980. George was still throwing but had not lifted seriously in nearly 10 years. Have a photo of him squatting 725 as if he was getting out of lounge chair. That easy he even had me spotting.
That 725 was with a skinny belt and some loose crepe bandages, tracks pants and USA T- Shirt.
Also got a chance to Train in Doc Rhodes garage.
Both guys super nice, real credit to the sport.
Thanks for putting that up, some very rare photos there.
@Troy06625 who cares
True lifting, hardcore bare bones shit without all the gimmicks.
it’s nice to see some powerlifters who squatted below parallel in competition.

Um I think Jim Williams hit 720-730lbs on the bench in the gym… RAW
awesome video!
The next question would be: where are they now and how much do they lift now?
Hideaki Inaba google it if u rly wanna know something like that
haven’t you heard of raw?
0:51 oh FUCK
Let me say that when Jim Williams benched he was flat on the bench, no arch and the bar came to his chest. I saw him live in 1975 and was stunned at his size.
In 1986 I competed in the Natural Penna.State Powerlifting Championships held in Allentown, Pa by Fred Glass. I had trained hard and my squat was at 700, 420 bench and a 775 deadlift. These were my top training lifts. John Kuc was competing at my weight class, 242, and I felt I had a good shot at beating him. As we were warming up for the squat I saw Kuc squat 600 lbs with no belt, wraps or supersuit. He did 2 easy reps in a high bar style. I was so completely blown away that I ended up bombing out. Some of the guys in the video were super strong. Great memories.
This sounds like background music from “Sam and Max” LOL
