How am I supposed to focus with all that cake in my face

[@spenndoolie]

judging here is a joke

[@jaya.2424]

Great powerlifter but he did not lock out that 815 DL.

[@guyfrowny]

Jay A. I was thinking so same thing, not even a question

[@CyrillicTM]

yep agree 100%. but its hard to say, his hips and knees locked out, but the bar drifted down due to his upper back rounding

[@jeradbrashear9040]

Ya didn’t lock out. Also feel like using wraps for squats are kinda dangerous. It lets you use so much extra weight you can’t even stabilize the weight safely. As proof by having to rerack.

[@SinnedNogara]

3:40 Touch and go or amI tripping?

[@ernestespinosa1853]

Yes he did...

[@yanniblumstein1]

That last DL was clearly not locked out

[@mojo6112]

You can hear the crowd sad when they thought he didn't get it!

Honestly I didn't even see any lifting 🤣

[@muante_mt]

omg why prize money so low

[@flippino35]

you lucky theres even a prize money🤣

1000 $ thats a joke 1$/kilos and there is more too

[@roydenyoung2390]

Still waiting to see a vid of him locking his deadlift out

[@ferna2294]

He squatted 362 easier than 342.

[@JumpDiffusion]

no pause on bench, no lock out on deadlift.

Ricardo Zambrano i’m afraid i benched more than you squat lol

he is only 198. It is amazing

[@bankrollfresh69]

His squat setup is nice af

[@oliverm2166]

Can anyone explain what the point of having a spotter for deadlifts is? What could they possibly do to help?

[@massive1337]

catch a powerlifter who's passed out , cause it happens quite often

some fall backwards wen losing their balance, this one is uncomfortably close tho

It basically covers what insurance won't pay for your next trip to the ER when you blow your bicep out. Lol. Not enough people support the sport to give em big prizes. Insane, world class athletes who are working 9-5s.

[@soulflame5635]

Was that Stan Efferding as judge on DL ?

[@ukaszj2906]

Still he got world record for the total not for the deadlift? Cailer Woollam has the deadlift record in 198, right?

[@StrengthCentral]

Jep, Cailer still holds the deadlift record at 198 and 220 which he rebroke at this meet. kzbin.info/www/bejne/b5DQaGqEpp2JqcU

What the hell is the point to do all this for 1000$ is that a joke?

[@Detz0325]

it is really low but you don't make money in any form of weightlifting, you do it because you love it. Body building, powerlifting, weightlifting they don't make a living off of any of those sports. If you are the elite of any of those disciplines you might get some decent money but every one of those elites make money else where and do it as a passion.

Great Lifter and a Great Guy, but Bad Judging mars contest - no way there should have been even one red light on the 3rd DL. Isn't there a panel to review when the judges blow a call that bad.

Fucking shit reffing, the 192.5kg bench was a bounce with no pause and the 370kg deadlift wasn't locked.

Strong dude, no doubt. God I hate mono lifts type racks. All of them should use power racks and get all the spotters out of the way.

A joke! Wraps and no walkout. Questionable depth. Instant start and press commands. Stopped in disgust before deadlifts. No doubt not fully extended.

Stahl Blut I dare you to take all the steroids you can find and do what this guy did. See how hard it is to cheat then

[@anthonysefo7524]

Scott Elias it's still cheating, obviously he was strong without it already, he added steroids then strength boosted even more,

[@DaveHK93]

It would be cheating in a natural federation but since all powerlifters who are on this level take drugs it`s hardly cheating.

[@francoisstrength]

It's only cheating when you're in a tested federation, that is why untested exists. I am natural and compete in the IPF and if he was competing in the IPF I'd also say he is cheating but he isn't, so it isn't cheating. He can take crack cocaine before a lift for all I care, just don't compete in the IPF.
