The Head Judge, Gordon Santee. is the man. he's so energetic and a true class act. Ive had the pleasure of being judged by him. He is a true ambassador for the sport, he travels everywhere and judges in every federation under the sun, i hope I'm not the only one who feels this way.
this guy is absolutely insane,just insane.respect to him,even this is respect that he uses roids,because everyone on this level are on roids,but squat 550kg insane.and deadlift is too.
@haihatin guys like matt kroc do like Roman chair work and cable ab work, but a lot of core strength comes from just doing heavy squats and dead lifts.
who cares if hes on steroids, been able to a squats of well over 1000lbs is crazy, most powerlifters dont peak until there mid to late 30's like andy is 40 odd now so hes been training hard for well over 20 years.
Parallel? This was way above parallel! Just compare it with Mikesell's record lift (video is available at youtube), or with the IPF-style squats by Shane Hamman (457.5kg)
the squats arnt perfect, BUT THERE FAR BETTER THAN DONNIE THOMPSONS, I THINK ANDY BOLTON IS DEFINATELY THE STRONGEST POWERLIFTER ON THE PLANET, QUALITY OF HIS LIFTS IN GENERAL IS REALLY GOOD AND STRENGTH IS OUT OF THIS WORLD!!
I don't think guys at this level all use steroids... powerlifting institutions test for them. Also, compare his look to that of Mariusz Pudzianowski, a strongman who openly admits he uses them in a competition that doesn't care: Mariusz always has the lean bodybuilder steroidhead look.
@cjr42fiver also if it wasn't for British (and other European) settlers there would be no USA anyway, the fact that this Yank is making out we owe them thanks for intervening in WWII even though they're basically descended from us is rather ironic as well...
@desolationofsmaug yes but this is my point. no one is getting on youtube calling you sad cause you like science fiction horror movies so why call this person sad. and as far any "real world practicality" you could say most any activity people enjoy doing doesn't have that. so you can dunk or hit a homerun none of that is needed in the real world but people do it cause thats what they enjoy. so again if thats what they enjoy doing who are you to judge it being sad or not?
not everything is about drugs as you think,some lifters inc me dont like the bullshit in the ipf,the poor crowds no music,i lift for me because i enjoy it,and would never ever want to lift in ipf,have you ever been to a ipf show in uk its dull no crowd no music.just my view
@THEGATHERING20 Hahahaha "If it wasn't for the USA you lot would be speaking German." Written of course in English! It amuses me how yanks often don't realise the irony in their words. :)
@cjr42fiver Mate please read the original comment by Kjalli and tell me you dont find that funny. "Dont bite the hand that feeds you" hahaha they think America rules the world! Ironic considering they are economically dependent on us Brits (and China among others for example) you get me?
Лучший Пауэрлифтер Мира!!!!
Энди Болтон Герой Всемирного Спорта!!!!
An absolute unit and a true gent. One of my favorites for sure
i love the bald guy judging his squat, he gets so into it! powerlifting is so fucking awesome, sport of gods

Well said, not to mention, even from the front angle, Andy is going noticably deeper than most people this federation do.
impressive squatting and as always a great deadlifter.
this guy is absolutely insane,just
insane.respect to him,even
this is respect that he uses
roids,because everyone on this level
are on roids,but squat 550kg
insane.and deadlift is too.
all the videos either skip or don't mention his bench, even though its not quite a world record, its still fuckin incredible.
Strongest power lifter overall
HOLY FUCKING SHIT, 550kg squat?
Damn man, fucking beast..
I didn't think Olympic lifters did, but I know for sure that Powerlifters and Strongmen do.
Plus MMA is a completely, completely different thing.
@haihatin guys like matt kroc do like Roman chair work and cable ab work, but a lot of core strength comes from just doing heavy squats and dead lifts.
oh yeah,in ipf,every lift that has been counted a good lift is always done with textbook form also.
The guy in "eduardo guadamud 2 x 310" is very explosive.
Strongest POWERLIFTER 4 EVER
Drug tested does not mean drug free.
Beast
damn, he also attempted to break his own deadlift record
He had a DL of 1008lb that they said was good and it was clear as day he did not lock out his knees, they were still bent.
Thank you
that bar would be fuked
lonely island andy bolton!!!
Great sport, with not nearly enough coverage.
lol are you crack me up,wonder how many of are powerlifters and how many internet freaks lol keep up the goos work
no sarcasm intended,i also compete in the ipf :)
whats da song? thank
who cares if hes on steroids, been able to a squats of well over 1000lbs is crazy, most powerlifters dont peak until there mid to late 30's like andy is 40 odd now so hes been training hard for well over 20 years.
the squats were all no lifts because of depth. Biggest squat still is to be credited to Brent Mikesell (or Paul Anderson).
Thank you for your advice
My training partner was 89kg when he did 305kg x 1 naturally so I don't see why 310 for 2 in the same weight cat is impossible.
nice spot!
Parallel? This was way above parallel! Just compare it with Mikesell's record lift (video is available at youtube), or with the IPF-style squats by Shane Hamman (457.5kg)
That’s nice
holy mother of god,
550kg squat, seriously ;p?
The last squat was 1211 pounds.
1214 correct
I preffer the IPF, less gear and MUCH stricter judging.
That’s great
the squats arnt perfect, BUT THERE FAR BETTER THAN DONNIE THOMPSONS, I THINK ANDY BOLTON IS DEFINATELY THE STRONGEST POWERLIFTER ON THE PLANET, QUALITY OF HIS LIFTS IN GENERAL IS REALLY GOOD AND STRENGTH IS OUT OF THIS WORLD!!
the squat dept was a little off i think, could of been lower
Will try harder next time

@vinnyisme Guess you forgot about the two judges on either side of the lifter, huh?
@kanpol805 r u serious do u really think he squated 12 thousand pounds
I'm just a girl you'd like to.
These guys are on steroids ?? I find that difficult to believe.
All right what's with the "let's get ready to rumble" shit for every damn lift?
It worked for me
@kanpol805 haha no way! 500 kg !
@cjr42fiver also if it wasn't for British (and other European) settlers there would be no USA anyway, the fact that this Yank is making out we owe them thanks for intervening in WWII even though they're basically descended from us is rather ironic as well...
@Militantcheese hummm.... That must be why I have such a strong core for a fat man. my DL is about 450lbs and squat 425lbs @211lbs body weight 14 yrs.
know I dont no! lol
d00d legal depth is below // if you compete ipf thats our choice.
its a bit said isnt it ;(
lol ok guys go take steroids and id see if you can reach this level
Haha, OK, then we agree;)
@desolationofsmaug yes but this is my point. no one is getting on youtube calling you sad cause you like science fiction horror movies so why call this person sad. and as far any "real world practicality" you could say most any activity people enjoy doing doesn't have that. so you can dunk or hit a homerun none of that is needed in the real world but people do it cause thats what they enjoy. so again if thats what they enjoy doing who are you to judge it being sad or not?
never seen a squat yet
Thank you for your feedback
@desolationofsmaug how is that sad if thats what they like to do?
@jlallemand If we can't tell the depth from watching this, how can the judge tell when he isn't even watching from side himself?
not everything is about drugs as you think,some lifters inc me dont like the bullshit in the ipf,the poor crowds no music,i lift for me because i enjoy it,and would never ever want to lift in ipf,have you ever been to a ipf show in uk its dull no crowd no music.just my view
@THEGATHERING20 Hahahaha "If it wasn't for the USA you lot would be speaking German." Written of course in English! It amuses me how yanks often don't realise the irony in their words. :)
You still need a helluva lot of work to lift that weight even with steroids. It's why there is clean competitions.
Why do they let the spotters basically help them lift lol
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

all the squats were too high and were given, poor judging. this is the reason powerlifting is getting a bad name
Doesn't matter. Why should the rules change?
Thank you for your feedback
The lift is phony. You can't support the lifter while performing.
Thank you
eduardo guadamud was also using steroids
