Here is my top 5 in no particular order

Pocket Hercules
Coan
Belyaev
Mike Tyson (for heavyweight boxing)
That guy that squatted a stupid amount at 123

Didn't Coan just lose two raw dl records

Yes he did, but no records last forever.

If I had to do an all-manlet top ten for powerlifting:

1. Ed Coan
2. Tony Conyers
3. Mike Bridges
4. Lamar Gant
5. Sergey Fedosienko
6. Andrej Stanaszek
7. Rick Gaugler
8. Shawn Frankl
9. Hideaki Inaba
10. Oleksandr Kutcher

I need to catch up on my pling. Only know 5 of those names..

Signing off now goodnight sweet prince

Edit: I am appalled belyaev didn't make first team all-manlet on your list

It's a tough list to crack; everyone holds a world record or was a million-time IPF champ. I also didn't have guys like Jaroslaw Olech and Dan Austin on there. Austin was the second 148 to total 1700 in single-ply and pulled 694 (raw) at that weight. Olech has totaled 1900+ in single-ply--in the IPF--at 165. I would put Olech on the list before Belyaev, personally.

Yes, but the fgt did it while doing deadlift-only. Coan did his in a full meet. Coan pulled it sumo, though, so dgaf.

The 242 record was done conventional.

Notes: Deadlifting went okay. 425 was a little slower than I would have liked but after hitting a PR last week that was expected. Still playing with the wider feet, I need to remember to point my toes out and start with my hips a tad lower.

The 887?

Notes: Squat felt great today. Speed was good. I'm changing to more of a full body template. Will have a squat, press, and pulling movement 3 days a week. I will do additional assistance work 1 or 2 other days a week.

Notes: Bench felt great. All reps went up very fast. 190x15 could have been pushed further but I just ran out of gas. Felt like I did a good job of staying tight n the over rep set. Pause squats felt decent. Legs a little sore from squatting two days ago but they loosened up as I went.

7/16

135x8 (stiff leg)
225x3x2

Front squat
135x5x3

Bench press
Bx10
95x5
135x5
185x3
155x3x3

Notes: Deadlift went well. Everything felt strong and crisp. Kept fronts light. I will probably just add a little weight each week and keep hitting 5s. I wasn't sure if I wanted to bench again this week or hit some light incline db press because I'm OH pressing Friday. I decided to just do some light bench focusing on short rest periods and exploding the whole way through each rep.

Yesterday I did a little assistance work at home. I have a few dumbbells now, and being inspired by Chris I did a Complex (light DBs instead of barbell) about 90 sec rest between complexes, did not put DBs down between movements. This was more just to get my blood flowing. Did three rounds. Movements were:

RDL x 10
Row x 10
Curl and press x 10
OH tri ext x 10
Shrugs x 30

Then did some isolation work:

Curl thingy
3x15

Strict db cleans
3x8

Lying tri ext
2x15

Today's work
7/19

Squat
Bx10
135x5
185x3
225x3
255x1
280x6x3
315x1
335x1

Press
Bx10
75x5
95x3
105x1
120x3
135x3
150x5 PR

Lat pull downs
3x10

Notes: Squat felt great. I can definitely tell I'm getting stronger since getting back to back squatting as these sets felt much easier then the 280 sets in the wave I just finished. This also makes me happy as this was the point in running the same wave twice in a row. I want to be able to feel stronger with the same weight.

215x2
240x1
245x1
255x1
205x12 PR

pullups
3x10

cable pushdowns
3x15

Notes: 205x12 was technically a PR, but I had a few more in me. Bench is feeling very, very good. All my singles went up pretty fast. Will pull tomorrow and squat and press tuesday, as I won't be able to train again until next Monday. I am going to skip squatting today and tomorrow as I am still a pretty sore from Friday's squatting and I want to have a decent session Tuesday before I can't train for a few days.

7/22

deadlift
135x10 (stiff leg)
225x3x2
260x5
300x4
350x3
385x2
425x1
440x1
455x1
385x3x2

front squats
155x5x3

Notes: Deadlift felt okay. Hamstring is still pretty dang sore, I did what I could to loosen it up but it didnt do a whole lot. Decided to do some light front squats to see how it felt. I am back squatting tomorrow.

7/23

squat
bx10
135x5
185x3
225x3

125x5
140x3
160x1
175x1 PR
185x0

machine row
x10
x12
x15

hypers
3x10

Notes: Squat felt good although hamstrings were still a little tight. None of the 295 sets were too challenging, rest between sets was 3-4 minutes. 175 is a PR for press, decided to see what I could hit as this will probably be the last time I OHP until after the state fair competition. It went up smooth but slow, and I lost my balance at the end. Went for 185 on a long shot and gave up as soon as I hit my sticking point as I could tell there as no way it was going up. No more training until Monday for me.

7/30

bench press
bx10
95x5145x5
170x4
195x3
220x2
245x1
255x1
260x1
220x9

pause squat (beltless)
bx10
135x5
185x3
205x3x3

pullups
27 total reps done between squat sets

Notes:  I can definitely tell I haven't trained in a week.  Bench didn't feel weak, but I was out of the groove on all of the singles and most of the 220 set.  Was touching a little high.  Either way All reps went up with pretty good speed.  On the 220 set I cut it at 9 as I was just running out of gas.  I was trying to be as explosive as possible on the pause squats.

8/1

A.M.

front squat
bx10
95x5
135x3
155x1
175x3x3

P.M.

deadlift
135x10 (stiff leg)

350x3
385x2
425x1
450x1
465x1
410x3x2

bw leg curls
1x100

Notes: Got up a little early today so I decided to split my training up today. Front skwats felt good and all of them were pretty smooth. Deadlifting went well, 465 went up quick. I need to remember to start with my hips a little lower so I can engage my hips more in the lift and have that strong lockout I like. On the triples at 410 I was really trying to yank the weight off the floor as fast as possible.
