Or maybe Belyaev, who is stronger than Frankl overall, considering equipment and rules of performance. He really is the best overall powerlifter today.

it is not based on who is best, it is a popularity contest.

Honestly I considered voting for Yarymbash, but there are no videos of the lifts and it was done at an IPA meet so who knows. Great lifter either way, but the truth is that in this day and age in powerlifting you need video to see real from bullshit.
