Great post Fred.
BTW, the lifter pictured is Cuba's Idalberto Aranda, who weighs 77kg (170lbs), and is squatting 290kg (640 lbs) for a double with no belt, spotters, knee wraps, squat suit etc. - All he has is an Olympic lifting singlet and neoprene knee sleeves.
And oh yeah, if that isn't enough, he is squatting it (again, for a double) only 11 hours after cleaning a world record 205.5 kg.
That's why olympic lifters are more badass than any of you fudge packing butt pirate bodybuilders.
