Top All-time Supertotals

Supertotal = best career powerlifting total + best career weightlifting total*. Best competition lifts listed. Note: supertotal is sum of best totals, not sum of best of all five lifts. Individual lifts may sum more than total. The concept for this list was originally adopted from the article on Jon Cole, by Herb Glosbrenner, from Powerlifting USA, Dec. 1994. Thanks to Banfalvi Tibor for additions.

Men's list: Thanks to Tibor Banfalvi for corrections.

* For older performances, I take the best of the jerk and the press.

Paul Anderson never competed in a standard powerlifting meet,
but based on his lifts, he probably would list number one: 
Paul Anderson US 140-180 ~180+~200=~380,~450+~270+~400=~1120,~1500 34

The ratio is the weightlifting total divided by the powerlifting total, in percentages. In general, athletes who are primarily powerlifters have a ratio less than 35, and weightlifters have ratios grater than 40.

I need more results from women and lighter men athletes. If you or anyone you know has competed in both powerlifting and weightlifting in your career, send me results including lifetime best totals, and bodyweight at those competitions. I am interested in all weight classes.
