I think that weights sometimes get translated differently. Those two are at the same contest lifting the same thing. Here is Brian Shaw doing the same thing, but it says 1122 lbs.

[Edit] Apparently these four guys are all in the same class, and who is technically strongest changes every time they compete.

I would say that they are all pretty strong. :o:o

Strongest guy I ever worked out with was this Ranger. Four of us used to spot him when he used to bench press 500 pounds. Yikes! He used to knock out 500 pound reps like I used to do 100 pound sets. Crikey!

I carried a 58-pound box from my car to my apartment today. Up a flight of stairs, even.

After that I sat for awhile and recovered.

I often feel like that after carrying a can of beer up to the man cave....but you already know that :)
