Bolton just pulled 971.
This is much more impressive (IMO) than Benni's 970, not only because he made it look like a DE deadlift, but becuase he totalled 1240kg. He didn't have to take light squat and bench weights to have it in him, he did it after a full meet. I'll find you guys a video.

Sheesh! That makes my 455 look weak. 950+, any way you look at it, is still impressive.
