shawn Freakl totaling 2630@198 at the pro/am yesterday

i think the 198lb record now beats the 220lbers and is the same as the 242lbers records. amazing strength.

Powerlifting seems intent on destroying itself.

is it just me that thinks those squats wernt legit?

Amazing benching and deadlifting and 1000lbs + is a massive amount of weight but the judging of the squats is a joke, what criteria do they use to judge squats as a pass in that fed?? They were nowhere near paralell so how do they judge what's a pass or a fail, at least when I get a pb in the IPF unequipped I know I've had to earn it!!

if you go down some, then back up ...you have squatted the weight !!

world record

thank god it wasnt just me that thought it was a joke hahah

Going by this fatter_tomorrow's 700lb squat was legit depth pmsl

why you think i posted it? haha and yes those were high squats. atleast i know mine were high!!

deadlifts looked good

im by no means a depth nazi , im happy if i see top of thighs parallel to the floor , as thats the best i ever managed

And probably the best indicator of what sort of weights he is really capable of

How do you figure that out? Because some feds in America have judging which is a joke.

Having never been to a BDPFA meet I cant atest to their judging but the standard of refing at both BWLA/GBPF and BPC meets is good. Not flawless of course but they dont constantly pass high squats and unlocked benches.

Dont judge pl on the SPF and IPA.

I like the credits at the end where it says "very strict judging"

That isn't powerlifting its a circus act

I have attended several old BWLA meets and competed in several BPC events. I'm not drawing any conclusions based on one video from one fed in America. I stand by my statement that powerlifting is intent on destroying itself.
