The depth was legitimate.
Now let’s cut to the chase. How much does this guy squat raw?
That’s all I care about at this moment.
Ummm… I actually watched the 1260 squat with the better angle.
Depth was shit.
This is why powerlifting is not in the olympics. The judges suck at judging and are VERY inconsistent.
I’d like to see this fatass compete in the IPF.
This video of an 18 year-old weightlifter is WAAAAAAAAYYY more impressive than that abomination.
lol. This is just sad. Louie Simmons and Dave Tate have done a great job brainwashing you guys.
REAL powerlifters:
Ed Coan, Shane Hamman (who is actually an Olympic Weightlifter first and Powerlifter second), Kirk Karwoski, anyone who competes in the IPF, anyone who doesn’t intentionally get fat just to gain leverage, anyone who is not a “closet bodybuilder” like Dave Tate and Matt Kroczaleski (I don’t know if I spelled that right and I don’t give a flying fuck if I did or didn’t), Mikhail Koklyaev (who again, is not even mainly a powerlifter.), Bill Kazmaier (WHO IS NOT EVEN A POWERLIFTER), Frederick Hatfield, Lee Moran, Dave Waddington, Scott Mendelson (who, as much as he doesn’t squat or deadlift, at least have proven himself to have REAL bench pressing strength), Andy Bolton, Benedikt Magnusson, Andrey Malanichev, Konstantin Konstantinovs, Mark Henry (…who is also not even a powerlifter…), … and basically anyone who dedicates his entire training in the pursuit of cheating.
This guy deserves more glory than Donnie “The Fat Douche” Thompson.

He’s not worth responding to . Check out stormthbeache’s thread got an example of quality ipf judging . Disallowing legitimate lifts is as bad as passing borderline lifts .

You do realize everyone you listed is/was juiced out of their fucking minds. Which is awesome as far as I am concerned but you seem to be very judgemental about things like “cheating.” There are only about 12,000 registered powerlifters in the US. Maybe instead of going through them all and figure out which ones are real or not, you should actually lift fucking weights.
The entire sport is a fucking joke because of people like you. And the internet. And people who don’t use gear.
Agree stormthebeach .
one thing for sure, no way he could have walked out with that 1260.
btw, what was Donnie weighing for that squat?
About 370 less or more . And you’re right about the monolift. It allows wide stance squatting and tighter gear .
I like them but they have changed the game .
storm…I see your point, but the reality is that many people (myself included) who are big fans of iron sports completely tune out powerlifting now because of the vast differences in judging, equipment, gear, across the myriad of feds.
too many variable to deep up with.
This lift is an amazing feat of strength, as someone who will never reach this level of strength I don’t think I’m in any position to say anything remotely demeaning about it.
That said - I agree with those who think that geared lifting (that would be anything other than belt and knee wraps) is making PL less interesting from the spectator’s perspective, even to folks who lift, let alone gen. pop.
While we are on the topic of gear… I think that you can wear whatever you want… It takes skill to actually benefit from putting on a squat suit, where a singly ply poly of the piece of armor this guy wears. But in my opinion, the problem is when depth standards change… I personally like the IPF depth which is close to ass to grass and feel that squatting to this guys depth WITH the use of a monolift really takes all athleticism out of the sport.

Donnie “The Fat Douche” Thompson IS juiced up. I’m sure of it.
Juicing up is not cheating. It’s a requirement to be a REAL elite lifter. And please, I really do would like to know how much the Fat Douche actually squats raw.
And no. I’m not the reason why powerlifting is a joke. Powerlifting is a joke because you don’t agree with my superior ideas.
Moron.

Not to derail (althought that might be too late), but could you or someone else elaborate on the last point?

Don’t bother.
I understand where geared (multi ply) powerlifters are coming from. I would be wise enough to know that if I wanted to train as a geared powerlifter, I am better off asking TECHNIQUE questions to the experienced, geared powerlifters themselves (they suck donkey balls when it comes to making training programs. I don’t know why, but my assumption is that they are pussies who were brainwashed by Louie Simmons).
We are dealing with a douchebag who had his IQ sucked away after putting more weight that his neck can handle when he squats geared. Bloodflow to the brain gets decreased because of that. So let me explain things on HIS behalf. He is personally mocking me. He is mocking me because unlike alot of powerlifters nowadays, I have never used multi-ply gear. He is under the assumption that training for a GEARED powerlifter is different from a raw lifter which is TRUE. But that does not mean it’s COMPLETELY, 100% different! I mean seriously. Let’s hypothesize what a typical, raw powerlifting routine will be ON A REAL TRAINING PROGRAM:
Smolov Cycle:
Raw Squat. No assistance exercises for squat.
:
Raw Squat, Raw Bench Press, Raw Deadlift. Assistance work for whatever. OR NOT, depending on alot of things.
Now check out this training program for a GEARED powerlifter:
:
Geared lifts and assistance work. The End.
But the thing is, people get brainwashed into thinking that 10X6.21 or 5X4.9986789 is a better set and rep scheme for geared lifting than 3x4.5 or 5X1.1111
Wanna know who brainwashes them? Louie Simmons, Dave Tate, Jim Wendler, and a shitload of powerlifters with a 405-pound ATG squat but has a 715 -pound GEARED, SUPER-WIDE STANCE SQUAT WITH THE BAR RESTING ON THEIR SHOULDER BLADES.
Please stop reading anything from the powerlifting section of this website and just switch to Olympic Weightlifting. Those guys can actually give you training programs that work without having to purchase bands and chains or whatever from elitefts.com.
