Cage at the Arnold

Sam Byrd's big squat. 765 pounds with just wraps and a belt.

Why? Well, besides the impressive feat of strength, the atmosphere was fucking insane.

I've seen lifts that are bigger, in terms of poundage and in terms of ratio (like Richard Hawthorne pulling 500 for reps weighing 125), but this one had everything.

The crowd was fired up and screaming, the music was just fucking perfect (Slayer!!!)...loud and booming, everybody was just going fucking bonkers. Saturday afternoon when the expo is at it's most packed. And I was right there inside the Cage to witness it, standing right near Ambre when she shot this vid:
