This is Brandon Lilly from Paint Lick, Ky. He is a professional powerlifter. He is/was one of the world's strongest powerlifters. Unfortunately after this was filmed Brandon suffered a catastrophic injury while squatting 744 pounds raw (without supportive equipment) at a meet in California. He tore both quad tendons, patella tendons, MCLs, meniscus, as well as the left ACL, hamstring tendon and breaking the left knee cap in two. I wish him well.
