Brett Gibbs from NZ gets another record

[jzpowahz]

83kg lifter.

355.5kg squat
227.5kg deadlift
290kg deadlift

873kg total.

Highest ever Wilks by a NZer apparently.

I'm not exactly sure which fed this is though as I thought he was an IPF lifter but has wraps on in the vid on his FB page.

Already holds the IPF record I believe though.

He benches more than I squat and we are in the same class. Seriously ridiculous.

 

[strong enough?]

It was IPF Junior World Champs. It was equipped, single ply, but he deadlifted raw.

He won the Raw World Champs held earlier this year.

Thanks mate.

And that makes me feel a tiny bit better LOL.

How the phuck is that possible even?

 

[jzpowahz]

He's 5'5" apparently. Probably cuts 5kg or so of water weight. Therefore, is a nugget haha.

He doesn't actually cut much weight. He's just short and massive (and has apparently been competing since he was 14).

Raw numbers are something like 280/180/305.

Squatted more than he deadlifted... Interesting...

errr..equipped. It is fairly usual for one to squat more than one deadlifts due to the assistance from wraps and suit. Most people squat more than they deadlift with the assistance of wraps alone, let alone squat suit as well. That said, he is capable of a lot more in deadlift. As aljada noted, he has done 305 raw.
