The man has over a half ton on his back. I couldnt imagine walking out with that on my back let alone squat it. Im willing to bet that 98% of the ppl on these forums would end up being faceplanted by that, I know I would
AMAZING! 2,651…unfathomable

If you have never shook like that on an unrack and still gotten the squat, you’re not a powerlifer. You’re an internet fuckstik.

Looks like I’m guilty.

Lastly, to those who wonder about the shaking on the unracks. For fuck’s sake, it is heavy fucking weight to set up. The thing you need to be in awe of is his ability to compose himself and get it done. If you have never shook like that on an unrack and still gotten the squat, you’re not a powerlifer. You’re an internet fuckstik.
That is the sign of a champion.[/quote]
What’s wrong with wondering why he’s shaking? He’s normally rock solid. Watch his 992 or 1014. My guess is that he’s been training strongman and hasn’t consistently been under that kind of weight; I’d like to see him come back to solely powerlifting and really show his potential.
No one is debating whether that’s heavy weight. Nor is anyone disparaging him. So what exactly is your problem?
And yes, I am just an internet fuckstik

This total being double-ply in a “looser” fed (no names) would be competitive, generally, for top of the weight class. It being single-ply, however, makes it impressive. It being set in the USAPL, with the strictest standards of judging today, makes it incredible. When video is up I’m sure we will see overly-legit lifts. This guy squats like it’s nothing.
The bit about the unofficial records bothers me. In the USAPL you can only set world-records at certain meets. So even though this guy just laid waste to a colossal total poundage, they’re not counting the lifts as what they are - records in the federation. Clearly, this is not the point of this thread though.[/quote]
YAWN.
Funny how that squat wasn’t much deeper (if at all!) than the Chuck V’s 1150 last summer, and we had a 20 page thread on here with people bitching about “standards” in other feds.[/quote]
I wasn’t here for that debate but I also would not have given a shit - Chuck is possibly the best squatter in the sport and different federations give the sport different flavors. I don’t hate on any lifter’s achievements (or any federations) outside of Donnie Thompson’s “All-Time Total”.
I only mentioned the standards of the USAPL because they are notoriously nit-picky (which led me to believe that if his lifts had passed, he was sinking, pausing, and locking everything explicitly, which at that weight would be extremely impressive to me), not to compare the USAPL to any other fed.
And for the record the lifts were far more questionable, per the fed’s rules, than I expected.[/quote]
That’s the reason that world and national records can only be set at certain meets with certain judges present. You’re average high school (looks like a high school gym) meet is going to be more gracious to ALL the lifters since they understand the caliber lifters that will be present. Having seen Brian lift multiple times, he is a master of doing whatever the judges are requiring (of other lifters). He was squatting practically ATG at the American Open when they were red lighting lifters on height left and right, and here he squats just low enough to get 2 whites.
Also, how are you going to start one post comparing the USAPL to multiply feds, and then end another thread with “not to compare the USAPL to any other fed”?
[/quote]
Ok how about I meant “any other fed specifically”? And if you don’t understand that I was saying that this total in the USAPL singleply is impressive as fuck, and would still be if it were multiply, then… not sure what to tell you other than “you’re missing the point”.

WTF do you mean by “don’t get me wrong”, you act like anyone in this thread actually gives a flying fuck what you think.
You bring up the same bullshit that you say “i can’t believe people are talking about this” depending on whether it was a lexen lifter or not. If you really don’t have a problem with it, don’t fucking say anything. As a matter of fact, if you DO have a problem about it, don’t fucking say anything. You act like you’re better than the bullshit bantering of internet lifters in some threads, and then bring up the same bullshit banter in others.
Fucking internet.[/quote]
Since you can’t fucking read, look at the next few lines of pictures below this. Those pictures are called “letters”, and they are put together to form what are called “words”.

Don’t get me wrong, the squats were deep enough. I’m a high squatting cheater myself so I think the lifts are perfectly legit, but I think it does bring to light the blatant hypocrisy of judging and “standards” in the USAPL as well as the ridiculous homerism of certain IPF and USAPL lifters in regards to their federation and lifts passed in it.[/quote]
Siders crushed that weight. Where did I say ANYTHING to the contrary? I simply pointed out the fact that there were several 20+ page threads with homers like yourself bitching and whining about the depth on a couple of WR multiply squats and accepting this (perfectly legitimate, IMO) lift even though it was no deeper than any of those multiply squats.
Speaking of not fucking saying anything, you should work more on “reading” and “comprehension” and less on fucking saying anything.[/quote]
By saying “deep ENOUGH” you’re bringing it up in the first place. You’re the first to suck dick on posts where your teammates get called out on depth, and act like it SHOULDN’T BE AN ISSUE, but then you bring up the issue in other threads. This shouldn’t be an issue here ANY MORE than it should when Chuck V squats.
I never said you were criticizing his depth, I said you were bringing it up as an issue. You can’t say “I can’t believe people are bringing this up” in one thread, and then bring it up in another. Perhaps rather than criticizing other peoples comprehension, you should try to remember what you say better.

Ok, so you’re comparing single ply vs multiply. That I get, but your first post came accross as though you were since you even put “looser fed” in quotes.
People need to understand and accept that there will be differences federation to federation, and more importantly from meet to meet.

Your reading comprehension still fucking sucks. I’m criticizing it because you’re reading things in my posts that I never said and TOTALLY missing the fucking point.
I remember perfectly what I said, as I have spelled it out for you twice now in this thread. Both lifts are impressive. NOWHERE did I discredit Sider’s lifts. I made NO ISSUE with his depth. Point out where I ever said there was an issue with it. You won’t find it. I said they were deep enough, which they were. I don’t see how saying “he squatted to parallel as defined by the rules” qualifies as “taking issue”. Maybe in ThreeWhiteLights-I-want-to-start-an-argument-on-the-internet-over-nothing land, but not in the real world.
Now go eat a biscuit and throw your empty kegs little guy.

Ah, not really. You’re the real thing and will be putting up some real solid numbers in a couple weeks, me thinks.
Let me rephrase what I wrote.
If you have never walked out a weight at a meet that, maybe you were overtrained, maybe your feet weren’t right on the set-up, maybe you forgot to get your air, or maybe you were just a little off (any of these could apply in Sider’s case), felt like it was going to crush you into the ground and still managed to get the lift, you probably haven’t done very many meets or you haven’t pushed hard enough on a third.
We basically teach lifters right from the start to turn off that part of the brain that is telling you the weight is heavy on the unrack. You have to trust your training cycle, get your head straight, and get after it.
Also, I just like to say fuckstick and this seemed like a good opportunity.
My point is Sider’s composure is awesome. Nothing is more rattling on an unrack than to have the shakes.
