Doug Young 1977 World Powerlifting Championships

March 11, 2012 By Gregor Winter

Watch the highlights of the 1977 World Powerlifting Championships.

Found this on the 70sBig Facebook Page. Many of you have probably seen this. But if you haven’t this is something that’ll surely get you extra motivated to hit the gym tomorrow.

In it Doug Young, who had to lose 30 lbs to make the 242 lbs (110kg) weight class, breaks 3 ribs squatting 700lbs and still completes (and freakin wins!) the competition! Champions attitude.

And here is a little interview with training footage of him.
