Here are some unofficial results reported to Powerlifting Watch on Sunday's Pro / Am. Chuck V broke the old squat record held by Yvegin Yarmbush (sic). It was 1168. Chuck squatted 1175! Benched 610 and nailed a raw 800 pull. On the 840 pull he ripped a chunk of meat out of his hand at lock out. Lifters are telling us totaled around 2585.

Not sure he really locked out. Either way, good effort.

Just the fact that he stood up with all that weight on his shoulders is impressive as hell for me but like Tim said it did not seem like a legit rep!

Lol@youtube judging.

Locking out the top of the squat is the easy part! Front on is the worst view to judge a squat and its impossible to tell with the shaky camera work at the end.

May not be 100% solid rep lol, but how solid can you honestly be with 1175lb's on your back? lol
