Dan Green is a lifter who needs no introduction. His accomplishments on the platform are numerous and unmatched: a 2065-pound total at 220, a a 2210-pound total at 242 — both records at the time, the 242-pound weight class record still standing. At any meet he goes to, you can be sure Dan is going to squat high into the 800s, bench in the 500s, and deadlift 800. For years, he has been one of the most consistent lifters at posting incredible numbers.
