I was a 198er for one meet. I was invited to Brother Bennett's Meet in Bay St. Louis, MS. during the Fall of 1982. I even got a pic. (He actually number his entry forms and sent out 50.) I was light 220 lber (about 207) and got sick about 10 days before the meet. So I dropped the other 5 lbs. I needed and lifted at 198. I think I might have squatted close to 500, benched around 325, and deadlifted about 525 in the Collegiate Division.
Then "willy was set free" and I took up a new motto........Get Heavy or Go Home!!!!! I find I have better wake on my jet ski at 275 than at 220; even a little better pick-up on rough water
