Lightest man (211 lbs) to ever bench 800 lbs. EVER!

He has squated 750 at 218 pounds of body weight. And damn near reached 1000 pound squat.

In the WPO, Jesse Kellum returned to the WPO finals with the same drive, determination, and strength he had at the Show of Strength. He squatted 931, benched 688, and deadlifted 688 and totaled 2309 to win his division. If Kellum keeps this up, he will be a threat to Vogelpohl and Halbert. Watch out, Kellum is looking to be unstoppable. I just can't believe that this is the same lifter from a year ago. It is amazing how much progress he has made in that time. Can't wait to see what his secrets are. Chuck Vogelpohl squatted 970, benched 523, and deadlifted 760 for a 2254 total. Vogelpohl made an attempt at 804 and pulled a hamstring. The video of this lift is at www.irongame.net. We wish Chuck a speedy recovery.

Dude is squatting almost 1,000 fricking pounds.

And benching and dead lifting 3x his body weight.

After googling, he doesn't look like someone I would like to fight.

There's a 15 year old kid at my gym and he's nationally ranked in powerlifting I think. I saw him squat over 500 pounds. Pretty impressive considering he weighs maybe 170 pounds.

If he weighs 211 lbs then he must be 5'2"

He looks at least 55 years old but he’s only 37.

I doubt you find many power lifters who look like what you thought he'd look like.

It's all about how short a distance you have to move the weight.

He was punking Gary frank out at the biggest bench on the river 20 years ago. He's getting up there.

Is he the powerlifting coach at St. Paul's high school? This is at the state championships at West Monroe High School.
