Spectacular performance, Andrew!

And Mike Burke certainly has a legitimate claim to the world's mightiest mitts. No apparent weaknesses in his repertoire!

Andrew congratulations!

Great performance!

By the ratio of bodyweight/grip you definitely number one in the world of famous athletes.

Mike Burke invited to the finals in 2014 NAGS?

I chose to come in at 420#(which was my top lift last year)
That is pretty amazing. You made it look like a "safe opener". Congrats.

Well done Andrew, very well rounded athlete, you have my and lot of others utmost respect.

Curious, what exactly is the frame event? Is this 420lbs or 420kg?

Thank you for the kind words.

The frame weights are in pounds. It is essentially a high pick (~20") farmers frame with revolving 2.4" handles. Starting (empty) weight is/was 380 and we had 20# jumps to choose from.

Andrew has grown over the years to be an ultimate gentleman and warrior. Mike Burk is such a strong, versatile, giant and a joy to watch in the flesh what horsepower is really all about but, pound for pound, gameness, concentration, and pure heart I have never personally seen any better than Andrew. In my mind I see much of what I have thought about David Horne in young Andrew.
