In this week's episode we talk with Blaine Sumner.
Blaine made his first big splash on the IPF scene in 2012, first at the Raw Pacific Invitational where he would become the first classic lifter to squat 400kg, setting both the squat and total world records. Then a few months later at the Classic Powerlifting Cup in Sweden, the precursor to Classic Worlds that wouldn’t start until 2013. Blaine came in and put on a show in the SHW class, winning by almost 50kg.
Blaine’s accomplishments in classic lifting are certainly not lacking, but are wholly overshadowed by his equipped lifting resume. Blaine is the only person in the IPF to squat over 500kg, or bench over 400kg in a three lift meet and 455kg in a bench only, or to total almost 1300kg. Blaine has held the squat, bench and total world records since 2016.
Last but not least he has, as far as I am aware, drank the most chicken of any person on the planet.
