thanks for posting this. big brad continues to roll on clearly. :)

i'd like to see a 3/4 or side view of this if somebody has it also - i'm wondering if the suit is sort of responsible for what looks like legs bowing out and then closing there on this lift. always learn from watching big brad's tapes.

Robert Herring is still unsponsered so you will never see much information on him. He just pops in and do powerlifting and bodybuilding shows here and there.

The bar was misloaded to 837, but Brad was only credited for 832.

Brad was injured during training and was actually not sure he was going to compete until about 3 weeks out.

I finally got to meet Brad this weekend and let me tell you, he's even bigger in person then on his videos! Super nice guy too!

known brad for years, great man. :) i think we run across each other every 3 years or so any more though, wish it were more often.

that suit is throwing him forward a touch, i was right. thank you for posting that video - and it looks like he has maybe 30-40 more lbs on that dl with that suit. it's on really tight though and he's clearly working hard to get air in before going to the bar.

it's always fun watching him pull, he's got such long legs and that bar has such a long way to travel.

Brad got credit for 380kg/837 lb - check the official results.
The scoring program keeps track of all changes and records the times when they were made.
Brad called for 377.5 for his 2nd attempt, but the bar had actually been loaded to 380. The jury informed the scorekeeper and Brad was credited with a good lift at 380 for his 2nd attempt.

380 still puts Brad in 2nd place pound for pound so what is the issue.
