He's a beast. I was the head judge on the pulls and he and Tee Myers put on a great show of heavy pulling. And they are both master's aged.

Yeah, another example of a raw lifter who can't get it done. Oh wait 780, master, no belt, yeah you just can't do that raw you will get "injured" he is going to have to gear up soon.

Good Job Dean you will break 800 soon.

Jeff

Isn't Dean like in his 50's? And I don't think he's all that short either, which makes this all the more sick!

Freakin great job from a true freakin freak!

Sorry about the age mistake. Still, pulling that kind of weight at that height is just wrong! If there's video of the lift, I'll bet you're even smiling when you top out.

Keep up the freakin great work!

No big deal sometimes when I get up early in the morning I feel like I am in my 50's. Thanks for the compliments.
