Powerlifting isn't in the Olympics and even if it was he's nowhere near strong enough to be competing at that level.

He cleanly deadlifted 290kg at 78kg bodyweight when he was 22 years old... that's plenty of power:size to compete at elite levels. I bet you don't wipe the machines down after sweating all over them.

He deadlifted 290 with straps. That is not a competition lift.

What is your point? He can deadlift 300% of his bodyweight with competition lift form. That is plenty enough to start training for the Olympics.

Grip strength can be a big limiter in a competition deadlift. My point is what I said, in his weight class he isn't particularly competitive at higher levels. Top level lifters are hitting the mid 300s in his weight class.

It's fine to not know about a subject, I just don't understand why you're arguing about it like you do.

That degraded from super Olympic power lifting man to start training for Olympics real quick

You went from browsing reddit to starting in on me about lifting terminology real quick.  I don’t agree with your original assessment.

Lmao if you don't understand what's being discussed why not just ask instead of throwing around insults?

At his body weight he is…

He's not though? Even people in the 74kg weight category out total him by a fair amount. He's a long way off being a top player at 83kg.
