Great article........Just out curiosity what was his best deadlift?

I can't believe the spindly little supports on the benches in the pictures for the weight he was using.

Too bad no one told him that pressing was bad for your shoulders.

Pat Casey is the definition of hard training, I remember when I first read the article written by Bruce Wilhelm(one of his contemporaries) in which he stated pat used to dip over 100,000 lbs over a period of 7 hours, amazing workload capacity.

Considering the question about the deadlift:
Pat was primarily known for upper body strength, I remember in that article(which is now evident seeing the routine written by Marty) that Pat didn't train his DL that often(numbers were around the mid 600's-low 700's)

That article is still around, if anyone is interested to read it(including an interview), google it

P.S
Loved the article
