    this lift is too beautiful, technically sound and so smooth, he must have had a good 5-10kg more in him from the looks of it.

      Crazy thing is, according to wikipedia that he did 250kg 1988 in Varna, in the class to 110 kg!

         ridiculous I remember there used to be a video of him doing a easy 700lb narrow atg squat in his 2nd session at the very end of a brutal workout.  His quads in this video look ridiculous also, like pro bodybuilder level in the offseason.

          I was looking for that video and only found an old bb.com thread where somebody linked to it.

          Put it appears to be taken down.

          Somebody needs to reupload this.

      It’s all in the hair flip. Everything he did looked routine. Such great technique. One of my favourite lifters.

    I’m pretty sure he nearly got 250kg at Rheims in 1987 when he was only 19 and a pal of mine saw him doing his first squat warmup with 240kg at the Commonwealths in Kuala Lumpur (94 I think)
