From Power Watch "Here's video of Chris Taylor, 242, from the SSA CandyAzz Classic held Saturday in Tribes Hill, New York. Taylor totalled 2,250 pounds, with an 875 pound squat, 725 bench press, and 650 pound deadlift. Included are his 875 pound squat and 725 pound bench press. Taylor returned to powerlifting after suffering a heart attack in the summer of 2006. "
Powerlifters are sick. Coming back from a heart attack to squat 875!But I love the look in his eye as he approaches the bar. I remember it well and still miss it.A great example of a perfect power squat.Not bad depth, either,especially for a canvas suit.Chris is a great guy and I'm glad he got his comeback.
"And in those simple beautiful movements I remembered what was really important in training; that consistency trumps intensity; all the time. That intensity is born from consistency. That one cannot force it, one has to lay in wait for it, patiently, instinctively, calmly and be ready to grab it when Grace lays it down in front of you."
