Congratulations Clint !! --806 is a killer lift--and from your email to me, I know you have a video can't wait to see it ! a new AWPC World record !!!
Hey your town better get to work on the "statue" you deserve !! move over Louis Cyr !!

The CPO meet is in it's 2nd day today--can't wait to see the numbers !

I know Tony Tomra from B.C. will kick butt in the 220's and re-write the AWPC record book !

Holy shit !

SO is he considered the first 800 pound fat guy in Canada?

Doing a person body weight is not that big of a deal !

Sorry just my opinion and no I could careless if he is a good guy and everyones friend.

Bruner, do you have to rip on everybody? The guy hit a milestone lift. Why not congratulate him?

Congrats Clint! Not only a good lift but Clint was drug tested as well.

The peoples champ is a nobody... Talks alot of shit but yet he's nothing...

We do not get into powerlifting so we can look better, that is for the gay and the bodybuilders. We get into powerlifting so we can move heavy weight. 800+ qualifies in anyone's federation. Congrats to you sir, bigger and better numbers to your future.

OK this for all you Anonymous people and fat bastards,

Yes I understand that many lifters use the sport so they can get fat and sloppy. Some even to say they are something in life instead of a fat bastard?

With that said it still will not change the fact that a Big Fat ass of 400, 500, 600, 700 , even 800 pound guy is not very impressive when they bench their own body weight? Why are they not ashamed that they can not even deadlift their own body weight?

Bottom line is yes they benched 800 pounds and yes they weigh 800 but as I said in my opinion .. not too impressive. SORRY.

True be told if any of you morons had a life and had a brain the size of a peanut then you and the rest of todays shit hole lifters would wake up and say enough and not buy into all this Bullshit lifting.

Look at his gut it must be 3 feet thick, look where his hands are with his arms straight out? SO what maybe a 2 inch belly push? WOW. Yes I know he is a nice guy and blah blah blah

Can he walk?
Can he touch his toes?
Can he fit in a car?
Can he dress himself?

Get my point? Now that he benched his body weight, what? Eat some more so he can bench 900?

WOW WOW WOW

You guys are more stupid than I thought.

Tim, can you be fat OR a bastard, or do you have to be both at once?

Nice job Clint, seriously, this ain't a beauty contest, thankfully this blog doesn't show MY photo!

You know what Tim , if you knew Clint even you would feel like a shithead with those comments.The guy is awesome and has been working towards this for 2 years, for the record that pic was 2 yrs ago and he's down quite a bit. As Jamie said he's drug free so cut the guy a bit of slack. Good luck at your next meet Tim, you must be one tough MOFO to be shooting off your gate like that and having no fear attending a meet where your many fans could finally thank you in person for letting them know how useless thet are.

That was me the post above in case you want to let me know how useless i am.

Were can you find the results of the meet?

Tim, I take offense at your remarks. You seem to think that we're all morons....Well, as an MD/PhD in a major medical school, I wouldn't classify myself as a moron! As for having a life....Tim, you seem to spend most of your waking hours on the computer insulting people. So, WHO doesn't have a life? I saw about 50 patients last week....What did you do besides post a lot of hateful BS and lift a few weights? I work to heal people....You just sit behind a computer and insult people....What a winner YOU are! You and your so-called "intellect" are laughable. You are not a "champ" in any sense of the word, and should be banned from public forums just so you'd have to find something meaningful and productive to do with yourself. Think you could hack that, champ?

That's not even the point, though. Clint worked hard and achieved a milestone lift. I don't even know the guy, but I can appeciate that he accomplished something for which he worked very hard. Any time any one of us-even you-do that, they deserve a pat on the back. That's also the first 800 bench in Canada, which adds another level of accomplishment to what he did. I'll say it again, why not just congratulate the guy, Bruner?

I was there for this lift, and it was deffinatly very sick. What's more, Clint helped out with judging/warmups the next day aswell.

Bruner, you seem like a joke. What people are you champ of?

Is it illegal to ask someone to hang themselves ?

nope Not at all!!!

Hey Tim are you starting to think the powerlifting world is getting sick of ya? YOU SIR are the JACKASS!!!! Call me fat call me whatever you want to I could give a ratsass less what Tim Bruner thinks of Mike Wolfe. Remember the comment you made about my Tattoos sagging over on GoHeavy? Well sir I'll let ya know my tats look perfectly fine and I'm still down around 100 pounds.

Give it a Break, well your neck that is GO HANG YOURSELF JACKASS!!!!!

Mike Wolfe!!!!!

Hey Clint Great job man I knew at last yrs Arnold you had it in ya!!!! Keep up the good work and if ya read this dont mind the Jackass above!!!

Wolfy!!!

Great lift Clint, Congrats man. 800 is heavy no matter what your weight is. Tim would get STAPLED by 800 as we all know, honestly he would get STAPLED by 700 but then BEG US BEG US!!!! "Please Please look at my deadlift gaise. I'm an old fu@K but I can pull it like a 13 year old boy...wanna watch?"

Clint weighs in the 350-390 range im pretty sure. So any way you look at it, he benches moer pounds over double bodyweight than the peoples chump does. I believe tims best bench is like 520s around 250s?

Oh, and Al mehan has squated over 1000 long before Matt Court, and is from Canada.

Though you can't see the lockout in one.

I weighed in at 159kg (350 lbs) for this, which makes it 2.3x bwt.

Meet results will go up here in the next day or so.

I just can't stop giggling about it!

Clint

P.S. Heh. Well I guess I have finally "arrived." If I'm inviting hate from Mr. Bruner, I must be doing something right! :D

Yeah you've made it, you can do more then him so you are no officailly a Jackass like the rest of us who are above and beyond him.

So I guess you get two Congrats from me.

Congrats and welcome to the 800 pound club and Congrats and welcome to the Tim Bruner thinks you are a Jackass club :)

Hahahaha GREAT JOB keep up the good work!!!!

Invitation to Mr Bruner:

As the person running the CPO I invite you to come to Montreal in June on Saturday the 21st to put up or shut up.

Want to put your money where your mouth is?

Entrance fee is waived for you. We'll grant you a free membership.

Of course there is some risks, I am not sure you could beat the 50 year olds up here. That would be embarassing now, wouldn't it.

Let alone beat Clint or any other of our top ranked lifters.

So come on up, I'll even throw in an all expenses paid visit to the Montreal "ballet" a cultural experience par excellence that is not available in the United States.

It's your chance to be the People's Champ. We look forward to entertaining you.

Why? What inside of you makes you want to try ruin this guys hard work and accomplishments? I just don't get it, its sad yet disgusting.

Damn why all the hate? I thought "hate" is what everyone is pissing about ?

First of all allow me to apologize to many of you who seem to be offended by speaking the truth! But for all you anonymous loser can stick it with red hot poker!

I guess let me start by saying why is it that anytime a video goes up of a shit hole squat or deadlift or even a bench and god forbid that someone say that it really was shit, then he is stoned?

The truth is simple, simple in that all the people who do shit hole lifts feel the need to defend shit hole lifts in believing that it makes their shit hole lift "real"?

Anyway lets start with Mr. Big Bad Wolfy, you refer to tats that you claim I attacked you about? Perhaps I was not clear about what I was asking? That is what is up with all the tats and lifters covering the body? Does it make you lift more? Does it make you bigger and cooler? Does it make you smarter? I mean is there indeed anything that it does for someone, that is all nothing more nothing less! yet for some reason you want to act like someone made fun of you?

Not to hurt your feelings but I do not know you or much about you so how in the hell could I make fun of you? And more so why would you care?

Next Mr. M (Medical Doctor Man) If you are what you claim then you of all people should know that fat bastards at 400 -600 pounds are a walking time bomb. Someone carrying 40% or more body fat is not the best of health and sure when they are in the 20's then so what well when they get older then lift is cut short. maybe you should go back to basic Med school!

As for the guy who said Mr. Harwood has been dropping weight? Well then I guess that would back up my statement ? Did I also "READ" that wolfy is dropping some pounds? WHy aahhh maybe because he too understands that "excess fat " is not good?

Geez guys someone even as mean and sick and hateful as I am care if a guy is killing himself? Why do none of you, or do you guys really give a fuck?

Mr. Canada Man (Bruce)
Sorry but dude if I was to accept every invitation to come and lift with paid expense then I would never be home for more than a week but thanks for the gesture, by the way I did visit Hamilton when I won the 1996 IPF Pan AM games at 242( GOLD) wwhooowww

last but not least to Mr. Harwood, I hope you understand, again since I have never met you or spoken to you then you should know that nothing was meant or should be taken personally towards you. It seems to have gotten (though all the posts) that I was saying you are in a jackass club? Not true , once again I don't know you. The funny thing here is you are the only one out of all the posts you seem to be the least offended, so on that note allow me to tell you this.

I was with AC (Anthony Clark) for his last 10 years and more importantly the last few years before his death. I will tell you this (and the Medical doctor can listen) he too was very heavy (fat) and he too knew it inside and that he was on borrowed time. SO did I get on him about not being able to walk 10 feet, not to walk up stairs, talk for 5 minutes with out gasping for air? Not being able to tie his own shoes, Not to go swimming because he was too heavy. I can go on,you fucking bet I did, yet AC wanted to drop weight but he also thought that nobody would like him if he was not able to be strong? So it was a nasty cycle that he could not break and as we all know he died at 38 years old!
So Mr. Doctor man if and when you ever get a chance to teach a class about well being then, tell everyone how great it is to be a 400 pound strong guy?

By the way may I say congrates on the 800 and in case you are wondering AC was the first to 800! RIP AC

I hope you the best and best of health!

AC died in a car accident.....unless they proved that he had a heart attack while driving rather than falling asleep at the wheel?

Nice lift

Anthony did not die in a car accident. He was involved in a major car accident about a year before he died. He also lost alot of weight before he died. I think he was under 275 when he passed. He will be missed. RIP

Not suprised you turned us down Mr Bruner.

Wasn't all expenses paid - jus the fun bits. Up to you.

All the best and it was nice of you to congratulate Clint. No question on AC being the first.

WWC(Clint)D!

Nice!

The day you bench 800 is the day you can start commenting on the bodyweight of people who can lift it.I know Clint has a degree in Astral Physics and is going back to get his PHD.How would you feel if he called you stupid?

So, only soldiers can have opinions about war?
Only women can have opinions about rape?
Nobody else can comment about Ryan Kennelly?
Eeeeeasy there.

Is it possible you meant AstrOphysics, or is Clint truly an expert in Cosmic Awareness?

Yes, it's true. Clint is in fact both an expert in cosmic awareness and a rocket scientist.

Jim Ray however, is a pedantic vocabulary..vaukaboolarie....vokabularey.. geek

No, my autistic son is pedantic. (Just to demonstrate that I know pedantic.) I'm just particular, bordering on picayune. "Astral" was not a typo - the author simply chose the wrong word, in trying to demonstrate how smart he (and Clint) are. But he was too clever by half.
