 I am a bench-only guy Member 3, 10034 posts SQ 185, BP 175, DL 235595.0 kgs @ 140kgs UnEq Administrator | Justin Graalf, 1102lbs at 110kg, three whites. Which is great and all, but just a little bit on the high side: Apparently the man himself said afterward he thought it was high, but (someone who said he was) one of the judges from the day showed up on powerliftingwatch and continued to claim it was a good squat. Others said it was "only an inch" high. From that angle, I'm not even convinced the *bottom* of his leg at the hip broke the top of the knee. | ||

 Невыносимо Высокомерный (RIP) Member 11, 965 posts SQ 190, BP 140, DL 255585.0 kgs @ 95kgs UnEq | It's well high. There's no chance whatsoever that would have passed in IPF. Am I correct in thinking that the rules for depth in squat are actually more or less the same in all the feds, it's just that the judges give anything in APF/WPO etc. anyway? | ||

It's ridiculous that there's such a wide disparity in the judging - which is obviously just so that they can have heavier weights lifted. It's quite pathetic really. | ||

 Has turned into a fucking nobhead - any guesses as to what caused it ?? Member 30, 520 posts SQ 185, BP 160, DL 200545.0 kgs @ 91kgs UnEq | To be fair the angle is bad on the video, i think hes a few inches off. | ||

Yes - but ultimately it's a matter of policy within the federation. The American multi-ply feds tend to allow very high squats because people (particularly Americans) like to see big numbers no matter how the lifts are performed. | ||

 Scotbasher - forever Member 59, 2115 posts | At the risk of getting into a federation bashing exercise Im going to say " Is that really a squat?" no matter what the camera angle it was nowhere near deep enough. It would be interesting to see how strong some of these guys are when they have to do a "proper" squat? I bet that extra 6 inchs of depth robs you of many pounds! | ||
