    Looks like a great set up down there. That mono-lift is world class.

    Spotter touched the bar making it look like a double movement which isn't allowed.

    Great numbers, but a f*cking disgrace that lift was passed.

    I saw friends get screwed at the weekend for infractions far more minor than that, they moved the goal posts from Sunday to Monday re: legal equipment and even during the day there seems to be a VERY loose interpretation of what the rules of performance were from lifter to lifter.

    I don't care how loose judging is (that's a lie, I do), but for god's sake make it consistent.

    Disgraceful.

    work after two almost succeeded but unrecognized attempts at 340 in the third lifted the weight that he passed the title of World Champion. But the fatigue and pressure so your Savic and ended the competition with at least 25 pounds below its optimal results

    From his point of view. Watched a training vid of his in the same gear pressing 350. Different (less tall) bench from what he's used to? I guess the fella woulda felt odd about the whole competition if every lift had failed.


    Some bench.
