Saw this on powerliftingwatch. Anyone else think it’s insane that he benches such big weights without his feet on the ground? In the video you can see how much he moves around on the bench because he lacks a stable base… I’d be interested to hear from anyone that benches like that?

Isn’t the term “WABDL World Record” sort of pointless?
Did he do it in the “259 lb non-Police/Fire short bald white man with a mole on his left testicle” division?

That particular fed has a shit ton of divisions and even has a made-up weight class (259) that no other federation recognizes. It’s full of single lift competitors and exists mainly so that everyone can get a trophy and hold a world record.
Yeah I know a girl that has a World Record in WABDL, her name is Nikki Williams. She only competed in Bench.
I always wondered why she only lifted in Bench. Hell there is only 2 lifts in the organization, I figured she’d do both.
Thanks for clearing that up.
Strong got a couple of questions for you, you have FB or some other means of talking that doesn’t take a mod to read, then allow to be posted?

You’re probably right. The fact it’s apparently a WR doesn’t bother me. I was more interested in his technique and how he can be stable enough to bench without his feet on the ground.
WBDL lets you bench with your feet off of the ground?? Wow.

It actually looks like he would struggle to get his feet onto the ground, even with a massive arch…
