Greg Oliver states that the phone interview took place on January 30, 1998, also the publication date. This source date is used as the fallback because exact lift dates are unknown. Repetition counts and bodyweight are unknown. The transcript explicitly states a 525 lb bench, followed by the isolated number 550. Retain the clear 525 lb claim. The trailing 550 may be a correction or another load; it is held without a separate record. Max status and equipment are unknown.

Greg Oliver states that the phone interview took place on January 30, 1998, also the publication date. This source date is used as the fallback because exact lift dates are unknown. Repetition counts and bodyweight are unknown. Store the 500 lb floor of the stated 500–600 lb capacity range. The transcript does not identify squat style, depth or equipment. The good-day capacity claim does not establish a completed 600 lb single.
