Man that is impressive on the pull to say the least. 850 looks like a second attempt. What does the breathing like he is doing do? Might be something to it looks pretty strong to me. Ken Ufford

What a sick beast. How often do you see 850 deads, let alone done in this fashion? It wasn't even hard. This is real lifting.

Super impressive lifting, can't wait to see what Mike does.

But as far as the Whole Lowe and Kuc records thing goes, we are aware that KK already broke both of those records with 2171 and 881 aren't we?

Fantastic lifting, got to be one of the best 275 lifters of all time.

Mike's seriously talented and he's a superb example of the gains and progress a person can make when they force themselves to stick to strict form and to legit rules/regulations. His discipline and determination is paying off with crazee strong gains. I doubt he would have built this big of a foundation if he'd started cutting corners and taking short cuts.

Much Respect,

Lifts look really good Mike. You are a very good lifter, and I will be glad to hear of your success in the upcoming meet. I love to see lifters who hold themselves to a higher standard and excel with theirs lifts and not their mouths. Best of Luck in the upcoming meet and in your lifting future.

Awesome!!!

I hope he can break those records. To break a John Kuc deadlift record is a HUUUGGGEEEE accomplishment.

He's got the BP that is bigger than Lowe's. Squat is about 100lbs off but his DL is on or about. Either way, he is gonna do some serious damage. Good luck Mike.

Very good lifter? How about the best and strongest 275er in the USA.

That's what really amazed me, the short ROM. This guy is really something else.

Thanks in advance to the RUM folks for setting up a live stream.

Unless he did laundry in the mean time, his clothes look like he did that bench and deadlift in the same workout. Good lord.

I believe that is a tendo unit - which measures bar velocity.

He actually did a 765 squat, then the bench then the dead in the same workout. Something to be said for training like you compete!
