Woo!

I believe the powerlifter here is Eastern European.

Currently holds the worlds squat record with that lift. 1003lbs / 456kg.
Bummer link is down. Have seen the video a bunch of times though anyways.

Actually Kirk Karwowski is not European but American. He holds the IPF 125kg record of 455kg. Shane Hammond (USA) 125kg+ class with 457.5kg. Both are crazy especially when you consider IPF rules and mid '90 squat suits and knee wraps. (Should have used ATP wraps for that one right strength_honor, good for another 10kg)What is even more ridiculous is Karwowski did a double in training with the same weight-LOL! Unreal!
