It’s HARD to Catch a G.O.A.T. 

I live in Columbus Ohio and none of these guys are even close to as strong as the numbers claim they use that equipped lifting style and it's just I've never seen one of these guys ever bench 500 lbs without that shirt I'm sure some of them have done it but why don't they post videos of them doing that and I don't mean benching it off of a board or mention it with rubber bands attached to it I'm talking about laying down flat on their back pushing up 500 lb with no assistance I got to 465 at my absolute Peak and I was a pretty genetically strong guy and I died out at that and never got the 500 now I'm 49 and I don't really lift that heavy like I used to but when I was really into it I was trying my damndest to get to that and I've never seen do that and I've never seen a 500 lb bench in the gym these guys claiming their bitching 900 and things like that have you ever seen Dave Hoff with his shirt off he looks like he doesn't even have any muscle even have any muscle muscle development that you need to get

Well, a platitude carries a negative connotation in regard to being useless...some of the things Hoff said in this podcast certainly made me think.

Can you name a powerlifter who explains his training better?

Two different sports IMO. I've only seen 1-2 world class raw lifters transition to geared lifting and successfully compete at the highest levels.

Also, Ed Coan was a geared lifter...are you saying Ed Coan shouldn't be included in the powerlifting GOAT conversation?

@@bryanstellfox8521 if you’ll read what I wrote, I said the universally acknowledged label of goat should be reserved for guys with minimal to zero suited equipment. Ed Coan had minimal equipment, and his minimal equipment was lighter than even some of the raw standards today, his Ace bandages were lighter than the knee sleeves of today, and his squat suit was basically a singlet, not much give at all. However, I did acknowledge that I respect Hoff for his accomplishments because he’s the best in mult-ply lifting, however I don’t think multi ply lifting is where the true pinnacle of power lifters are due to judging standards among other variables.

He’s completely dominating his sport .Guys total less then 300 then him when he lifts .He’s been dominating for 20 years .Not two or three years , 20 years .

@@billymimnaugh3998 very small talent pool in multi-ply. Much larger talent pool in the modern raw era of lifting.
