There have been many questions on whether or not the all time records set at Boss of Bosses VI would be accepted due to the event not being sanctioned. Lifters come and go and as time passes lifters are either new or quickly forget. So, lets back up about 11 years. In 2008 the Raw Unity Meet was formed and was the first raw unification contest of any significance. Eric Talmant and I decided that since there were no official all time "raw" records only equipped, that I would compile them to give the lifters something to shoot for.

What an amazing total! Huge numbers were set at the Boss of Bosses 6 event and the 148 class had one of the best performances. Mike hit a 534 raw squat to begin his quest for for the largest 148 total regardless of wraps or not. Things only got better from there with a monster 424 benchpress (shades of Joe Bradley) and then pulled a 668 deadlift to reach the pinnacle total of 1,626.99!

Coming in at 220 Daniel blew through his squats ending with a 903! This is the heaviest weight he's had on his back since his knee injury, very impressive come back! He benched 705 and 766 to total 2,375.45.
