In Response To: Greatest ever C & J ?!?! (Dave Chiu)

I don't think I'm the only one here who recalls someone posted, and no one contradicted it, that Rigert did 260 in training at 103 which would be 346 pounds over. But you are speaking of meet lifts. I can believe it if he gained almost 13kg functional muscle from 90kg where he did 223.5 (ok, was it rejected for some little infraction like a knee touch by an elbow? Why should that matter?)

If Khrapaty was "clean" he has 1,000 apologies from me. We are hearing as of last night's newscast a steroid scandal with the Dallas Cowboys.

What about the greatest, as in, the lifter never used "cheating" substances? It would be from maybe the 1950's or earlier like an old Egyptian lifter once profiled in Iron Man Magazine.

I have seen opinions that drugs add 10 to 15% to a lift versus "clean" lifting. Any experts care to comment?
