Here's a clip of Phil squatting 4 times his bodyweight at the commonwealth championships in September. I think the second squat was 277.5kgs at 67kg bodyweight - fooking awesome!!!

By the way, it was Phil's choice of music ;-)

Has the music been added over the top, or was that actually playing? I'm really hoping the former!

In either case, awesome lifting Phil! Inspiring stuff. :cool:

Damn those lifts were impressive! You looked good for a bit more and you unracked the weight as if it was nothing. Have you been doing super-heavy walkouts or something? Or is it just the fact that you've been lifting for about two hundred years?

I wish I could have recorded all of his and the pakistani guy's lifts as their battle for the gold was the best and most exciting part of the whole tournament (other than my 3 silvers ;-)) but I ran out of space on my memory stick and left the other one in my room :-(

King Phil
If we had a hall of fame you'd be one of the first to enter I recon. 18 years of competing success.
I remember a 15 year old 7 stone something Phil Richard dead lifting 150kg in front of a shocked "us" in the old Burns Gym Swansea. 1986 ish.
I'll never forget that Phil.
Awsome.
