We’re looking back on some of the major performances and showdowns from IPF Worlds. Including these massive lifts from Jesus Oliveras who despite going 5 for 9 still totalled 1022.5KG/2254LBS taking home the 1st place gold but narrowly missing his automatic qualification for the upcoming SBD Sheffield 2023 competition.

I hated the fact his 440 got red lighted. Looked the exact same as his 410. He's only getting stronger though so I can't wait to see what he does next year and the many years he has on the table.

[@WhiteLightsMedia]

Right? World record total around the corner!

Damn, that was the most strict judging I have ever seen. Ridiculous.

[@WhiteLightsMedia]

Its true

[@xHumanFacex]

Tbh even his first squat was high, on deadlift his knees were clearly soft... the fun part about powerlifting is that everybody hates big arches on bench and sumo deadlift, but then no one likes strict judging.

[@lh1690]

@@xHumanFacex Everyone hates big arches on bench press, because there isn't even a press. So how can it be a bench 'press'?

[@xHumanFacex]

@@lh1690 yeah but then you complain about judging while he was squatting high the whole time and his knees were soft on deadlift... so why a bench without a press should bother you.

[@lh1690]

@@xHumanFacex Because it was still 99% of the RoM of squat and probably 100% in my opinion. A high arch bench press has 0% of the RoM of a bench press -it's not even a press at all.

[@okmnok7754]

dawg that bench 3rd attempt should have been his opener

[@WhiteLightsMedia]

Blazing fast eh?

[@nitrow8881]

He was saving energy for the deadlifts. Bench press doesn't do much with the total when we're talking about Sheffield so it's not necessary to drain too much energy.

[@nitrow8881]

IPF should start showing the warm-up room during 10-20 minute breaks like weightlifting does instead of just a timer.

[@WhiteLightsMedia]

good suggestion mate. Warm up room in powerlifting is a bit crowded though

[@nitrow8881]

@@WhiteLightsMedia Maybe expanding the warm-up room could help and it can be helpful to let the coaches and athletes know about filming the warm up room.

[@mufinmakesmusic1210]

The ridiculously strict judging in powerlifting makes me wonder why any one would want to do this

[@josedelatorre9815]

It just makes the feeling of having something as a world record that much better, due to how strict the powerlifting judging is. Though it is bs sometimes, it just proves how difficult it is to be at the top levels.

[@WhiteLightsMedia]

I can see why they made the calls they did , but it is a tough job and there's gonna be some inconsistencies with human error!

[@CoachArian]

Because people want to be rewarded for something they actually achieved, not get gifts for something they don't deserve. Jesus is working even harder now to put up a total next year the world has never seen.

[@JohnProph]

you new to powerlifting? go watch some events from the early to mid 2000s when foot high squats were getting 3 white lights. everybody and their cousin had a backyard federation and it was a total joke. "too" strict is miles better than too lax

[@josherney9820]

Is it generally more difficult for SHWs to lock out deadlifts? I know their larger size can compromise starting position, but it also seems like their larger quads make it more difficult to keep the bar over mid-foot during lockout. The knees unlocking seems like a way to compensate.

[@zf621]

It depends on the lifter. Some of them can lock their knees with no problem while others can't. They can keep their knees locked if they don't lean any farther back (even at the slightest) and they'll stay locked but knowing IPF judges they'll just assume the hips aren't locked even if you're perfectly upright. It's a pretty tough situation.

That is because these dingbat judges aren't as strict on him with the red lights as it was in Powerlifting America. I have a feeling he'll get robbed at Sheffield but I hope I'll be wrong. Also Jesus was dealing with an injury but if it weren't the judging he'd out-total his 2021 meet and maybe his Powerlifting America meet.

[@muscleeinstein8018]

All lifts are great ! What the judges were looking for? 🤔🤡

[@zf621]

Apparently it was that he wasn't deep enough on squats and his knees were unlocked on the deadlifts. His 440kg squat was the same as his 410kg (430 was definitely high) and his knees unlocking is not under his control due to how massive his quadriceps are. I have a feeling he'll get robbed at Sheffield but I hope I will be proven wrong.
