I do not have the equipment for the Back Lift or the Harness Lift, but was still excited to give these a try.
  • Back Lift - 0, last year's men's avg = 1300, 50 yo 95kg record = 1500 pounds (Ed Zercher II, 1987)
  • Harness Lift - 0, last year's men's avg = 1520, 50yo 95kg record = 1905 pounds (Al Springs, 1995)
  • Hip Lift - 620, last year's men's avg = 1282, 50 yo, 95kg record = 1500 pounds (Ed Zercher II, 1987)
  • Hand & Thigh Lift - 445, last year's men's avg = 726, 50 yo, 95kg record = 1105 pounds (Bill DiCiccio, 1994)
  • Neck Lift - 175, last year's men's avg = 247, 50 yo, 95kg record = 430 pounds (Al Springs, 1995)
Total = 1240 pounds.  Not very impressive by the standard set last year and by the ridiculous records that are over double my lifts.  But it was fun to give everything a whirl.

It is unlikely that I will have a vertical leg press to give the back lift a try.  

It is not outside the realm of possibility to have fabricated a harness for the harness lift.  Design constraints are pretty simple.  3 inch width over the shoulders and 4 inch width around the waist.
