Yes, a couple of experienced Aussies from Brisbane jumped in and helped on the 74s and 83s classes. Would like to say a lot more but can't as I'm sure you'll appreciate. | ||

 Hasn't always been a bench press specialist Member 44, 1907 posts SQ 252.5, BP 220, DL 210682.5 kgs @ 83kgs Eq | all it would take is some jerk boxes extending backwards from the uprights and a changing of the ipf rules to allow dumping of the bar in special circumstances. lifters do their jerk box height and rack height at the same time. | ||

Jerk boxes would obscure the view of the side referees surely? | ||

You could probably make a metal frame to achieve the same purpose without much obstruction of view. Then just throw a few sheets of plywood/matting on top to absorb the impact. | ||

 Sugdens crazy old person. Member 4936, 7288 posts SQ 270, BP 155, DL 270695.0 kgs @ 100kgs UnEq | First time I saw this video. At 145 into the video, something like this happened to me. But more twist on the bar applied. I had to go to the hospital. Why no mono lift or safety strap thingydoodle used in a serious comp? This video is disturbing to me. Leg extensions. Sit there. Hog the machine so others can get a set. Watch the scenery. No eyeball popping spine spinning out of control? | ||

I enjoyed these posts | ||
