Home, Food, cost free training in Gym, Sponsor clothes, Sponsor sports nutrition, Sponsor 4 x doctor for his back problems. Zahir is the most sponsored powerlifting athlete in Finland today, yet he decided to mock the people that help him." I'd say the controversy around him and his antics gets clicks on youtube. The sponsors know he gets clicks on youtube and that equals exposure for their brand. There is no such thing as bad publicity etc. Same with Mc Gregors persona. Wrestling bad guys. | ||

 understanding of the sport, little he has.

The straps would do the same damage to the bar as safety bars | ||

 I eat a lot of meat Member 5124, 2996 posts SQ 245, BP 130, DL 275650.0 kgs @ 105kgs UnEq | Z would have doubled that for a laugh in a pair of knee sleeves from tesco. Shaw would have done a good morning with that and upset Z. Ed would have taken 480kg's face for a s**t and lifted it in his pants. But in all seriousness, Zahir made a big boy move that didn't pay off. What he did do though was get people talking and get people aroused! | ||

I am from Germany so i know what i talk about. Member 5171, 1049 posts SQ 217.5, BP 160, DL 233.5611.0 kgs @ 83kgs UnEq | The_Lone_Wolf said:Z would have double half squatted that slowly for a laugh in a pair of knee sleeves from tesco and natural. I think it's more accurate this way. | ||

 Member 3942, 1107 posts SQ 200, BP 160, DL 315675.0 kgs @ 102kgs UnEq | On the topic of safety pins, straps etc. Why not use height adjustable blocks to catch the plates? Surely this wouldn't result in a f**ked bar and those blocks could be solid as hell. There's an equipped powerlifter, vanillagorilla something on Instagram (I forget his name, absolute beast though) that uses something similar. | ||

I'll take a stab here and say it's probably a financial reason as they are very pricey. Also, I've tried adjusting the height on the jerk blocks (in the grand total of 2 gyms that I've trained in with them) and found them to be a ballache to adjust too which may also be a factor... | ||

 ‘downsizing’ Member 5704, 3219 posts SQ 280, BP 210, DL 320810.0 kgs @ 96.3kgs UnEq | BaconWarrior said: You're thinking of Blaine sunmer, the guy is awesome!

I hate those heavy duty straps on the mono - they're usually set so low that i'm not sure they'll prevent a journey to the delightful snappage-on-the-wold if you have to dump and f**k it up badly. was there a specific injury/injuries that brought them into being used? | ||
