    That is truely sick!!!!!!!!!!!! And think....he's only 22 yrs. old. What the hell will he be lifting when he's in his 30's? I really hope this guy stays healthy. I'd love to see what he can do.

    it is really impressive to see a single lift like that, and on the dL there is no bs. I am more concerned with his other lifts, because i am a three lift guy. it strikes me to seem someone so young with such big numbers. guys that are really great single lifters tend to be guys peaking and want to focus on their best lift, right? A side from a few like Mendy (i am not familiar enough with his past and i am not sure whether he did three lifts), guys like Big Gene had great three lift careers. Magnusson is definitely a different brand and perhaps era in powerlifting.
