Yes 505kg is a lot but it was much higher than other squats which were failed for depth. Bell totalled 1170kg, with 370kg deadlift. Why don't they use spotter horses with the straps on monolifts? One of the six spotters looks to make contact with the plates on the assend. Is that not a red light? | ||

Why I have been saying for years powerlifting would be better with no spotters, with all the modern contraptions to save lifters from untimely deaths as a spectacle just the lifter and the weights would look much better. Maybe its time to add another fed to the soup. | ||

I can only think that a) they deem it too dangerous for someone with 500kg to rely solely on the straps and then b) having spotters with straps is too dangerous in case a spotter gets caught up in said straps. | ||

A member for 10 years and still no mouldy peanuts Member 1252, 4475 posts SQ 160, BP 110, DL 215485.0 kgs @ 98kgs UnEq | I am 100% behind the idea of those nylon safety straps on monolifts. In this age of 90kg+ lifters squatting 350+ kg, its only a matter of time before a lifter, or spotter, is catastrophically injured. Unless you bottom out on them and Anderson Squat it back up, I can't see how they would be of any assistance. | ||
