The all-time squat should have nothing to do with whether or not it was walked out.
The bench is called the bench, not the unrackityourselfand bench. The deadlift isn't the twirling deadlift.
The squat should have nothing to do with walking and everything to do with just the squat.
It should be noted that I'm more proud of my walked out 700 squat than of my mono 700 squat. It should also be noted that Malanichev is also a SHW and probably has 30lbs on Eric along with extra time to get there, so comparisons aren't quite apples to apples. Just my .02, and I respect the hell out of both of them.
SAD you make some good points, but I think the mono came late in the game in contrast to the Big 3 lifts. Bench has not changed and neither has deads (besides sumo). Squats are just a bit different. To walk it out and set yourself and go ATG, is pretty damn impressive. Eric will continue to get better and has incredible potential, which is crazy with his achievements already. I think the weight issue is fairly trivial. Eric is a 308er and usually cuts to make weight. Andrey is just a big dude. Both are way crazy strong. Hats off to both of them.
