powerlifting contest

[DADAWG]

went to the southern powerlifting meet in TN. this weekend , they had 60 plus lifters , 2 2000 plus totals and a 198 lifter who totaled well over 1900 . they had a lifter who normally competes at the highland games total over 2000 includeing a near miss at 900 on deadlift , normally if a sumo puller gets the bar up a foot or so he will make the lift and this guy did that but he let the bar drift away to far and he got on his toes and lost it , btw he was lifting in a belt only not a suit for deadlift . one lifter possibly tore a bicep on deadlift , i wish him a speedy recovery .

I went to my first powerlifting meet this weekend in Michigan. It was bad ass. I met Clay Brandenburg there, shook his hand, shot the shit with him for a minute.

Ended up with front row seats during the squats with the perfect angle to watch their depth on each attempt. It was beautiful.

At one piont there was a big big argument over one squat because the guy was clearely 2 inches below parallel or so, and they were saying he didnt even get to parallel. I couldn't believe it. Clay was spotting that guy and was very pissed at the judges.

One judge onthe side said it was good, the other side judge said it was bad, and the front judge said it was bad. Clay asked the front judge how the hell he could see it from the front lol.
