Backlift at the AOBS Dinner

by Randall J. Strossen, IronMind Enterprises, Inc. © 2005

Bud Jeffries, who had been planning to demonstrate a heavy (950 pounds or so) squat starting from the bottom position at the upcoming AOBS dinner, told IronMind® that because of an injury, he might do a backlift, instead.

Jeffries, maybe best known for his very heavy partial squats, has done a little training on the backlift and while he would not be going for a maximum weight, if he does a backlift at the AOBS dinner, it would be heavy enough to give everyone a sense of appreciation for the potential of this lift.
