For more reference how insane 700W is, the average FTP of a world tour pro road cyclist (i.e., Tour de France) is ~350-420W/6-7W/kg. FTP (Functional Threshold Power) being the avg you can sustain for an hour without fatiguing.

My own is ~250W @ 3.12W/kg. I can't even hit 700W yet, let alone for over a minute. My 5 second power is ~640W.

Crazy numbers.

Can you still touch your toes? I doubt Robert could... hopefully your own practice leaves you more balanced.

Haha, yes. Track cyclists are a different breed.

A trained powerlifter probably exerts a few kW on a heavy lift, but only for a second or two.

		Talakhadze's 267 kg clean & jerk from 2021 is somewhere well north of 5kw output (I can't find hard numbers, but possibly even like 7kw) for fractions of a second during the second half of the clean. It's wild stuff.

		~3000 watts for 0.75 seconds (not counting pauses)
