Must be some sort of off season mass gain program. He barely does the 2 lifts at all.

Off-season according to the source thread.

I remember reading that Benni is EXTREMELY fond of combing a deadlift with extra reps from a block. Basically he pulls a heavy deadlift from the floor, then someone comes and sticks a block in front of him and then he does partial pulls of that. I guess this is equivalent to the board-press type stuff a lot of powerlifters use.
