I don't often see something that makes me go, holy shit. This was one of the times. Greg Panora's big dog.

The reps got deeper as he progressed. Dang. I don't care what he was wearing, that's pretty good.

Side note, Mark Phillippi did 600 x 19 screwing around in training with Binkowski back in the day. They were working out and decided to see how many they could get with 600 on a lark.

His last total was 2200 lbs or a tad over IIRC.

I don't recall hearing about the Philippi thing, but I know of him a little and it tracks.

I spoke to him about it in person at a contest. He was surprised that it had attracted so much attention at the time. For a while Ed Coan, John Binkowski and Mark Phillippi were all training together. Phillippi was a coach with UNLV at the time. Imagine being a student there and being able to be around that trio.
