This guys a beast, all around. This was back in 2007 at the Arnold. Awesome stuff. Made it look pretty easy the first go through.

Very Impressive.

Is this a stone that the best in the world have all had a shot at and could not place / get over the bar, or was this a special event? (I've not seen an event where they just do one stone, nor one with a bar like that...)

Usually they do not have a max stone load. For a number of reasons... This is a few years old, since there have been several load a 555lb stone. Derek Poundstone being one.

The bar is actually a yoke. It's what we will be using at nationals next week. Usually a yoke is used when you are doing one stone for reps.

I thought I read a story about a particular stone that was the heaviest available that just a few had lifted. From the vid, it seemed like he missed his last attempt, too...

(The announcer was calling the yoke a bar, too... ) )

So at nationals, will they do both a max stone load AND a stone load for reps using the yoke?...

No, for my weight class it will just be a 300lb stone for as many reps over a 52" bar in one minute.

Shouldn't be to bad... The HW's have to load a 360 stone over 54" bar... Glad I'm lean lol
