This is a great one of Magnus Samuelsson closing the CoC #4 and talking about grip training with Svend Karlsen. Probably the two strongest Scandinavians through time.

25 year old tested power lifter Jesus Olivares speed squatted 1003lbs raw a couple of days ago.
He will be destroying all his own records in 7 weeks at Sheffield. All hail.
The 1003 was an early in his training cycle squat. But the speed was unreal. His best comp squat is 1034 and he will surpass that at Sheffield.Good topic! What made you decide on stone-to-shoulder? It’s definitely a whole-body strength test, but there’s still a LOT of technique. I’m not saying it’s a circus trick, but you cannot generally shoulder a stone optimally without lots of practice.
It is a good test of actual strength in that it tends to penalize guys with excessive guts that would be getting more carryover from that leverage on lifts like the squat & bench.
I was there the year he did this. Nobody else could even come close on this event.
That squat was still nowhere near Ray Williams’ 1,080 tested, sleeved squat (as far as single lifts go).
Olivares hasn’t done anything in one lift that hasn’t been surpassed - it’s his ATWR sleeved total that makes him the best. And with only 67 more lbs to best the all-time wraps total…he really can do it if he can stay healthy.
You put that kid in knee wraps for 16 weeks & put him on some Dbol the last couple months, he could break 2,700.

501 actually locked out: Invalid Link Removed
All lifts have technique, I just think its one of the greatest lifts out there, especially with a non-calibrated bar/sets of plates, etc..
Cheers bud..

His circus db press is truly wild. Can’t remember if he still holds the ATWR for that or not.
This man is going for true love
I believe he does, thats another one in my top 3 faves.. Dudes a beast if he gets back to form post-surgery...
He did pretty well (Podium) in his last meet (post-surgery).. The Rogue one I believe..
My wife attempted the ATWR for Lightweight Women (>141lb/64kg class) this summer. She went for 139.x lbs, pressing it to arm’s length all 3 attempts, but wasn’t able to hold it stable to get the down command. She did 130lbs well on the same model Rogue sand-filled DB in training about 8 days prior in our garage, & has done 135lbs on an easier db, so we knew she had a strong chance at re-taking the record.
One other woman did manage to hit it and break the record that day, and a third woman injured her shoulder.
Thats great Hyde, really impressive!
Dude's insane...
433 lbs.

Thor was no where near ready. His upper body at about 60% considering pec surgery 10 months ago. By Rouge he will be 80% and probably un-beatable. And by next years Arnolds un-stoppable. He is talking about doing a no suit 505.
Nice. Love the strength sports. Went to the 2019 WSM - wow what a line up to see!
We can hope!
Mateusz Kieliszkowski taking 2nd was great to see, even if he wasn’t close in points to Mitch. I would be happy to see him finally get an Arnold or WSM win; he really is one of the greatest to never win yet. The Terminator.
I still have belief that Julius Maddox can bench 800 raw. He has been spooling back up and did 740 at the Animal Cage this weekend.
And Zahir has been making a comeback, coming up on a 600lb bench and squatting 1,003 for a double in a belt & knee wraps in training (actually to depth). Looking stronger than ever to break the 275 raw w/ wraps ATWR total.
Quite a time to be alive!
