cool man. max lifts; I don't know, strongman is tough sport to determing max lifts. it's all about who is strongest on whichever events are chosen. I squat around 700 and deadlift around 800, and I don't bench. there are a million other lifts, any in particular that interest you?

sweet. I remember a article with you and JV Askem about your theories on olympic lifting and benching. I too, see my clean related to my bench. How is that possible?

[Jesse Marunde]

Well, it's actually the jerk related to the bench, and the clean is usually close to the jerk so in a round about way the clean predicts the bench. The jerk is a better indicator though.

Jesse,
what is the heaviest stone you've ever loaded and to how high? Also I ran across a pic. of you loading a 385 stone (ironmind I think) and that stone looks bigger than our 460 whats up with that? One more. do you incline bench, Ive started to do that more than flat as it keeps a decent chest appearance while also helping with shoulder (overhead) seems like? I know strongmen arent supposed to care what we look like but outward appearance reflects inward feelings!!! hahahahhaha your opinion?

oh yeah glad to see the site is back up!!!

[Jesse Marunde]

I loaded a 440 stone in Hungary in 2003.

a 385 that is solid cement has a pretty large diameter. you can add iron to a smaller diameter stone and make it 460. that's probably what happened.

hey, there's nothing wrong with being pretty ;)

thanks man. how high did you load that 440? and I wouldnt say im pretty more like sasquatch hahahahahaha.

[Jesse Marunde]

ah you probably just need a good waxing. the pain makes you stronger!

I don't know how high it was. Must not have been that high because my biggest stone load in the states is 380, which I've done on a couple occasions to under 54" heights.
