My vote for the greatest deadlift of all time was pulled sumo.

I'd bet that guy would only pull 405 without a cheater stance.

...or 887.

I knew it! :-) It was the same way with Coan. I heard he could only pull 315 conventional. I think I know what the next big thing for "man lifts" is going to be... walking squats in! Yes, you may walk them out, but after the rack command you are getting assistance to bring the bar back into the rack. That is cheating!!!

You may be walking your squats out and in, but without any side to side walking, you're going to be very easy to kill.

[Brandon Thiessen]

Kill implies murder, but OK.

No, it doesn't. Sentences like "John was killed by the plague that wiped out half of his village" or "Brad was killed in a car wreck" are perfectly standard English and have nothing to do with murder.

I think that if you compete in a sport, and you limit yourself based on arbitrary purism, you are a fool.

Unless you compete in one sport only to keep yourself motivated to train it harder, because it makes you better at a sport you care about more. In my case, Jiu Jitsu.

[Grinder]

No, even then it would be foolish.

(see Candito for instance)

Eh? Candito gets red lighted for depth when he low bar squats. Possibly because he insists on not actually training with his competition style squat for... reasons.

Sure, but that fed asks for squats that are pretty low. Some of the squats I see here (SS approved) wouldn't pass either. That doesn't mean they are bad, since they are legal by rulebook standards, but the ROM issue for raw PL squats isn't really an issue at all.
