A lot of the guys I competed with told me,  If you can do it, we re behind you. <br><br>BFS: Your squat record has been broken in other powerlifting organizations. Is there any temptation for you to return to powerlifting and reclaim that record?<br>Hamman: If somebody breaks my IPF world record squat, there s a possibility that when I m done Olympic lifting I ll go back and try to break it. <br><br>BFS: Why did you choose to compete in the IPF?<br>Hamman: I started in the IPF because it s the federation that the guys I was training with competed in when I got started in Oklahoma. It seemed a little more professional to me. I liked their drug testing, because it helped make the sport a little bit cleaner, and I liked having to squat deep and being able to use only one suit. <br><br>BFS: Your best deadlift was 738. With all the Olympic lifting that you ve been doing, do you believe you could exceed that right now?<br>Hamman: I do, because when I did powerlifting I deadlifted only once a week or once every two weeks. Now I m doing pulls and Romanian deadlifts three to four times a week, so I think my back is a lot stronger.<br><br>BFS: Could you discuss your powerlifting squat style? I ve heard it described as a dive-bomb style.<br>Hamman: It was nothing I worked on, it was a natural thing
