I had the pleasure of being at some of the same meets as some of those guys. I say being at the same meets instead of competing against, because I was a mere human among mutants. I’ve seen some of my friends go lift for lift with Chuck Volgelpohl. They mention Rick Husseys BIG Iron as well, I knew a few guys from there pretty well, Jim Grandick helped me with some of my training many many years ago.
That’s an amazing documentary, but I’d like to see it more in depth, more about BIG because it’s still around, more about Dave Tate and the EFS lifters. More about the lilliebridges, a family of mutants, etc. powerlifting does not get enough publicity, shows like that bring to light how fucking awesome the sport is.
