      Ivanko and other companies had chrome deep dish plates. They weren't made for that specific federation. The problem is that they weren't calibrated, and depending on the tolerance (typically 1-2%, but can be as bad as 10%), it could be anywhere from 935-1007 (unlikely to be spot-on 1015).

But the old PLers, Bromley even talked about it in his channel too, swear that the plates that now defunct fed used were much less than advertised, and many of them set all time PRs there. Benni certainly gets some benefit of the doubt because of his resumé , but if you dig some on Openpowerlifting, you can see numerous lifters hitting PRs in that fed and failing lower numbers elsewhere. It's kind of tinfoil hat speculation, but between the old heads (says the 36 year old) talk, and perusing some numbers, it wouldn't surprise me at all if true. There's promoters out there trying to make a dollar, and big lifts are an attraction.

    The way you talk about your friends and how they supported you as colleagues, peers, and mentors, reveals a lot about your character. You have no problem publically appreciating them. It's easy to see that, at your core, you are sincere, humble and open minded

    Where is Rich Froning? He's realistically one of the huge reasons Crossfit got so huge initially. Could argue Annie Thorisdottir and Tia Toomey as well.

    Seems the most important factor in this ranking system is if you have met them in person. You pick and choose who you will criticise for steroid use - nearly the whole list is probably guilty of it. Just an observation, it is your list you can do whatever you want.

    Honestly... a little surprised Mark Rippetoe didn't make it on your list. I know you guys disagree on everything dealing with Olympic Weightlifting, but... he's damn legendary and his program has gotten so many people strong. His TH-cam presence is there, too, if that's the criteria. But I guess he doesn't get that many views anymore.
