Iron Game History

Yar, this site is pretty interesting for a historical perspective on weight training.

I recommend using the following google search:
your_subject_keyword site:http://www.la84foundation.org/SportsLibrary/IGH

For example, here are all the results for the keyword 'powerlift'.

There is a ton of stuff here.

Speaking of history, Donnie Thompson made a new world record this past weekend:

That's nice, but he's still not as strong as Brian Siders.

Heh, good link. But they're roughly the same, and its hard to really compare when Donnie does multiply training all the time. Both are freaks.

Agreed. But any way you slice it, Donnie's 1235 squat and 910 bench is absolutely insane! And he pulls without any gear too.
