John Bernor Hits 2nd Biggest Single Ply Total

John Bernor, shw, totalled 2,400 pounds while competing in the single ply division at yesterday's SSA Asylum Power meet at Iron Asylum Gym in Tribes Hill, New York. The total ranks him second on the Powerlifting Watch Lifter Rankings. Only Brian Siders ranks ahead of Bernor. Bernor squatted 940 pounds, bench pressed 730, and deadlifted 730 pounds on the way to the total. Here's video of his meet:

Great lifting John. That's a great single ply total. Congrats.

he hit 920 straps down no knee wraps in his training vids...

how did he "only" get 940 at the meet?

awesome total, just seriously wondering

Great lifting, John! 940 squat in only single-ply briefs is just insane!

Not to be a dick, but aren't there multiple single-ply totals over 2410? I can think of Malanichev, Siders, Coan, Bondarenko, and Kazmeier off the top of my head. Or do you mean he's 2nd in his weight class?

umm it was 940 no knee wraps and no straps at the meet 2 wait till he goes straps up and knee wraps! PRAISE GOD

He was only wearing briefs for that squat??????

holy hell

He only had briefs on, no squat suit.

no way in hell those were single ply briefs. those were some gangster briefs. did you see how much they grabbed on the way down? hail satan

GREAT WORK JOHNNY BOY!!!!!! AWESOME TO SEE YOU BACK ON THE PLATFORM BRO! YOU DO MULTIPLY AGAIN, YOUR GONNA BREAK 2800

Some of the new single ply material is pretty crazy.

Great job John! 940 squat in briefs is insane!

If I'm right in answering M's question; the 2nd highest ranking is for the PLWATCH yearly rankings.

Again, awesome lifting John!

If Jon Bernor says they're single ply briefs, then I believe him over you any day Alex.

Yevgen Yarymbash also i think

AWESOME JOB my friend!! It was great to be there and watch that!! Insane!! You greatly inspire me.

To be fair to the IPF/USAPL, though, he wasn't in the same setting (rule, equipment, judge-wise) as they were, and he was definitely belly benching.

Be interested to see him in the USPF/USAPL/IPF.

nicely done, very strong showing.

Bernor did awesome at the Asylum Power meet yesterday. Seeing him do the lifts in person there was no doubt they were all done by the rules. Just a great display of lifting, congrats John!

Jay

regardless of them being nasty material or not, i trained with jon for a good 2 1/2 years and id put money that he can squat 850 or so with nothing but a belt, maybe more

wow, very nice lifting...and no wraps...that's just crazy.

Awesome lifting!

Is east end barbell still in operation?

JB ran a meet there this spring and really put on a good show, was extremely nice, and is responsible for my interest in the sport. Really a great guy, congrats.

Great lifting John!

It was an honor to watch you lift and to be on the same platform. Very impressive John.

Jon you're an excellent powerlifter and a good Christian guy. You are truly a role model, and you are definitely one of my favorite powerlifters. Best of luck in the future.
