Agreed, they fit on different parts of the body for one Simeon said: Wrist wraps however just hold you wrist in position - they have no active role in increasing poundage. No, no, no, no, no. Of course they increase your poundages, why would anyone wear them if they didn't ? Maybe not in the same way as knee wraps do and maybe not by as much, but they definitely give you extra.

That's the singlet and the shoes gone then. Wrist wraps and belt are still there though. I was actually talking about my definition - not the official one.

The judges' decision is irrelevant.

Rubbish. It is difficult for an equipped powerlifter to know exactly if he has hit depth or not. He therefore does his best and the referees then tell him if it was good enough or not.

Often they clearly weren't. This is just as true of highly experienced lifters.

Referees in certain federations have proven many times that they are not always reliable in judging correct depth. If a lifter sees, from footage, that they have squatted high yet it was still passed, out of good sportsmanship they should renounce that lift.

This is something that varies from sport to sport. Golfers are expected to call their knocks, cricketers now rarely walk, and footballers... don't make me laugh. And any rugby player will have been taught to play to the referee's decision, right or wrong. Nobody's going to give me a good lift retrospectively from footage, so why should I turn down a near-miss?

Powerlifting should have a different ethos to those other sports, mainly because there's no money in it. There is nothing financially to gain from high squatting 1265lb or claiming a 3000lb total. The lifter, for the good of the sport, should be entirely honest about their lifts, for, as this thread and countless others show, it damages the sport.

I think that fairly substantial sponsorship deals might be open to 'the first man to ever total 3000lbs...'? So, there may well be a bit of money in it. Enough for humpty dumpty to get his men to put him together again should he fall off his wall.
