For those that follow the big names in powerlifting, I thought I'd share this. Rumor is that Chuck Vogelpohl has gone up to the 242's and has had a very, very solid training cycle for this meet. At 5'9", I suspect he'll be more effective in that class vs the 220's, as hard as that may be to imagine.

If you don't know who he is, he's the top lifter at Westside by formula (unless that's changed very recently), as well as the lightest man to squat 1000lbs (the only one in the 220's so far).

i heard he weighed in at 254 and but was near 270 on meet day. but he did compete in the 275s for sure. he was thick as a brick and jacked to the gills. squatted 1050-1075 (not sure but somewhere in there) and finally benched 600. he hit his openning dead of 777 and missed 826 and 832 after that. he swithched back to sumo and used a hook grip. however it appeared he broke his thumb or badly damaged it on his first pull. he switched over to over/under for his last 2 pulls. he missed an 1102 squat. he totaled well over 2400 in the 275s. in fact if he had hit the 826 pull he would have totaled 2502. he had a great meet. love watching him squat. he talks to the weight ( not purdy language either) that guy is a freak.

Thanks for that, ex. I have a buddy that went and got a bunch of video (my coach, actually), but I haven't had a chance to speak to him yet. He said Chuck's squat was 1080, but he didn't get to see the benching and deadlifting Sunday due to travel times.

I see now on the results sheet it was 1074.
