What impresses me about Richie are his absolute strength levels, which are superhuman, and his technical precision. I mean, there is no question when he hits a big lift.

Richie Briggs is Freaky strong and just a junior...WOW!

Also, congrats to Rick and Becca on their increadible team. In the past 2 weeks we've seen the following videos:

1) Becca Swanson: 605 x 1 (1 board) @Worlds Strongest Female Powerlifter
2) Shawn Frankl: 855 x 1 (1 board) @210
3) Richie Briggs: 905 x 1 (1 board) @242

Add to these freaks: Brad Heck, Tony Acome, Jim Grandick, Justin Graalfs, Justin Redding,Wes Merril, Tyson Hubbard and the list goes on and on.... BIG rocks. And most importantly; everyone of these lifters are as humble and down to Earth as anyone you will ever meet.

I can't wait to see the records fall in Omaha on 3/8/08. OH YEAH I'LL BE THERE!!!

I don't understand why people can't just give props for an awesome lift and leave it at that.

FYI My previous post makes no sense because the comment I was referring to got deleted (thankfully). I didn't think it'd stay up long.

mine also doesnt make sense because the previous post was deleted.

and to the last anonymous poster; cant you read? the guy benched over 850 and has the second highest 242 bench of all time. he has since gotten stronger/better, so figure it out for yourself.

Richie benched 837 back on 01-28-2008 at the UPA Midwest Champ. Meet in Iowa. Which set a new Jr. record. There are no weak points in this guys bench. Look for some huge numbers out of this 23 year old.
