Do these judges know anything about powerlifting?

[@nicholasknotts8531]

I have a friend who is a parapowerlifter and It’s a totally different sport, a lot of things don’t make sense in the rules IMO

[@vxsr33]

0:56 looks like the Mexican Brian Shaw

[@Chris-ll5xz]

From what I've read the rules state that there must be a dead stop on the chest and both elbows must lock out simultaneously, I think the latter rule was the reason so many were disallowed

[@axierurresti981]

No leg drive...

[@tomr.6282]

xD

[@hunterash3.25]

Te mamaste

[@kylen6430]

Team no calves

[@joemackinho]

Yes I also would like to know the rules majority seem like good lifts

[@ChocolatePoop1301]

They aren't able to use leg drive. Must be so much harder.

[@4evertaboo]

Yeah that's what makes it so much more impressive to me!

[@johnroach1101]

They much stronger than.full body lifters

[@LucaBrasi0]

Leg drive? Does it mean like Leg support on ground?

[@tijnaltena5718]

@@LucaBrasi0 while bench pressing you usr your legs to drive the bar off your chest, without legs all your power and speed must come out of yout upperbody, which is incredibly more difficuly

[@ok5178]

@@tijnaltena5718 I don’t know how to leg drive so I bench 180 lbsg(14yo)

[@mhauck99]

How is it no lift? it looks perfectly executed please someone explain highly appreciated

[@chanbla11mit]

but they don't give the "press" command, it's nonsensical to expect them to pause

[@jfandjanicegrenier3402]

@SuperUsefulMan I thought it was about the pause but it was obvious that non of them paused

[@kylen6430]

SuperUsefulMan the Russian paused quite long. Considering there’s no “press” command, just doesn’t make sense

[@kylen6430]

The Brazilian though...def not a pause

[@deadsoulanni]

They have to lift that within 3 second

[@MDBNstudios]

guys, its frustrating to watch, but its all about standardization. Obviously these guys have no real trouble moving the weight, but to avoid cheating and bouncing they have to be strict. The judges arent being mean, just accurate. It must be hard for them to tell a disabled person they failed a lift!

[@Chicken4444]

It seems like they have to make a noticeable stop at the bottom (can't immediately press) and must accelerate the bar upwards throughout the motion (instead of just man moding it out). It is a "power lift" instead of a "strength lift" so the motion itself should be steady or even gain speed evenly. All that being said I still think it's bull, these guys can clearly lift far more than what they are doing. They are all beasts and extremely impressive.

[@ComeAtMeBroForreal]

never skip leg day. yup, thats it. I'm going to hell. but seriously, MAD props to these guys. pretty inspiring.

[@mfdoom4939]

cringe

[@benphanitram2156]

God their strong.

[@frankpagel39]

8:17 Jabba Jabba.

[@boobiedeamon5617]

First dude looked like a ringer, dude walked off like it was nothing probably just skips leg days.

[@jakestablettableto9453]

You thought its funny 9 yrs ago to mock diasbled i hope you learnt

[@rrgert4]

that seriously is respect!!

[@peteratanasov913]

Respect

[@huguetix7]

24:42 why is dat a no? Can someone explain?

[@BottleDeopt]

Why did the Brazilian competitor's bench press get counted as a no-lift? He got the weight down and pushed it up without problems instead of requiring the weight to be pulled by a spotter.

[@husseinzidan]

Hany Abdel Hady hero Congratulations

[@shah69ful]

i hope u do brother,i wish you the best of luck if you ever compete...god bless you..

[@jfandjanicegrenier3402]

I thought that the couple of guys that had the no lifts was due to not pausing. They seemed all legit to me if the pause was not part of the criteria in this competition

[@donleon1403]

good job

[@rejean1337]

What are the rules? a lot of these lifts seem good, but get NO LIFT...?

[@DMANtheWolf]

Castillo Castillo, I guess you wouldn't have to worry about whether the form is first or last name first

[@irinaderevkko]

Cant find differences between good and wrong lifts, does anybody know?

[@BubbaYoga]

I'm having trouble as well but it seems to be a combination of time and straightness of the arms. *It seems to be the length of time it's motionless on the chest as well.

[@ottoto8224]

[@KristaAMartin100]

Cool!

[@chanbla11mit]

12:25 WTF are those noises?

[@urielrivera71]

With no leg drive too, jeez

[@GOD2sodomyME]

never skip leg day

[@KaoWins]

+emily fuuu These muscle studs allowed to since they bench more than what most people dream of deadlifting

[@clowin7068]

You beat me to it.lol

[@chrisb.865]

not to be a dick but why can't I find bench press from the regular 2012 Olympic games?

[@BasseTheBass291]

+Chris B. Powerlifting is not an olympic sport

[@BasseTheBass291]

***** Correct Jake. But that is weightlifting, not powerlifting

[@romankozlovskiy7899]

thats what happens when you skip leg day

[@rajdeepbhowmik5335]

I don't understand the rules. I mean they are so tough.

+Genesis Obadiah The red ones are 25 the blue ones 20. You dont lift eh?

[@genesisobadiah]

[@mohammadlotfi9185]

+Not “TheBigTroll” Troll lol

[@genesisobadiah]

no there not they are lbs

[@babyfreezer]

you'd struggle to even lift your own weight if you've never lifted in your life... good try though

[@aaronfitness5772]

How the fuck are some no lifts ?!! You clearly see them lifting it up by them selfs ? Seems to me that lifting it back up has to be straight up , that is dumb , they are clearly lifting the weight ...

[@fryphilipj5152]

Жестоко судили, причём всех. На ЧМ такого нет, как тут.

[@sethkohn5517]

No lift, No lift, No lift...........WTF? These guys are benching 3X their body weight. I can understand rules are rules..... what am I missing? Is it the timing of their lift? Completion of lift (straight arms?).....

[@paralympics]

Hi Seth. Here you can learn more about the rules and regulations regarding Para powerlifting and the competition: www.paralympic.org/powerlifting/classification Hope this helps!

[@dublessings]

Yeah well its easy to be -90 if you dont have legs

[@alejandrocandelario6486]

[@benicetoeachother3352]

[@bugsy2guns157]

Wtf if i ducktape my legs on a bench then every lift would be easy

[@MohsinKhan-yr1rd]

amputate your legs and then do these bench press

[@thorhbar1255]

Why are they having their floppy legs strapped down? I don't get it. What a freakshow.
