Will be a great meet for sure, and a positive direction for the sport!! this is what all my training is geared towards now.

I'm not really sure what he's pulling right now. I would bet that he will be the first man to get to a 1000. I don't think he can be too far off.
He's still so young (21-22)and will only be getting stronger. The only thing that can keep him from getting to a 1000 would be an injury.

This weekend he's competing at the Arnold Strongman Classic. This has to be one of the best head to head events ever. These are some of the guys in it:

Benedikt
Mariusz Pudz.
Zadrunas Zavickas
Vasyl Virastiuk (WSM 2004)

Right now Zavickas is winning and Vasyl is in second.

thanks btmagnus

appreciate the update...he's a strong kid for sure!

Last night Benedikt came in 5th in the Arnold strongman. He beat Pudzianowski. Zadrunas Zavickas came in first he dominated.
Zavickas really is stronger than Pudzianowski, but Pudzian. is much quicker and more athletic. That's why he is so good at speed events like the Atlas Stones, and the farmers walk.

good for benedikt!

barring any injuries...he'll be the strongest puller in the world in the next few years...

I think Bolton will hit a grand first! He just hit 971 with some in the ank after squatting and benching in a full meet!! i think he is doing DL only May 6th and all his training for next 9 weeks is on that !! cant wait to see him pull again!!
