World class shotputters are the most explosive strength athletes outside of pure Olympic Weightlifting. Heavy ballistic lifts are core to their training.
It’s too bad they didn’t show the 300 lb. lift. At the end of his lift, which Oldfield seemed to strain to accomplish, Oldfield pumped the weights 3 times with ease. It was pretty funny. And awesome!
Brian Oldfield was the man, and those were the good ol’ days.

the 70s was a wild time for competitions. most about entertainment value instead of real performance nowadays
Interesting to see Lou appears never to stand up after pressing, like he's never done it before and doesn't know the rules,
Lous lifts were never finished. They shouldn't have been allowed.
