10x bodyweight total at 181, "Not so great now"...are you insane?!?!

Take off the chainmail armor these guys are wearing and do full squats...how many 181ers (today or ever) would be totaling in the 1800s?????

This is the problem with the so-called 'evolution' of powerlifting...a 10x bodyweight total done with virtually no gear is thought of as "not so great" because the numbers of today are inflated by lax judging and the ridiculous amount of weight that equipment adds to the total...

I have no problem with people wearing what they want and lifting how they want, but call a spade, a spade. And the fact that people only look at the numbers is the real problem....
