In Response To: Re: Mike Dayton - 305 press from rack COLD !!! (Nicky)

Swords was working out one hot summerday at the original "Lukes Gym" doing some standing behind the neck presses and jerks. Tim did a big number which made BIG LUKE somewhat jealous. Iams said he could do what Tim did but was unable to equal Tim's lift of over 300+. The crazy thing about this was that Iams didn't warm-up and did a cold lift of 295 standing behind the neck press. Pretty awesome for a man who never did much standing pressing. Tim was a great presser. If the sport had the press when BIG T competed, Iam sure he would have been known as one of the best of his era. A born presser in my eyes. Just a little story from a few years back.
