Wow so deep! lol The first vid is slightly flatering to depth and it looked high, this vids anglge is not so flatering and he looked way off. How any powerlifter can look at that with a straight face and can tell me that’s good squat depth, aka, breaking parallel, as commanly defined by the crease at the top of the thigh were it meets the hip going lower then the top of the knee, I don’t know.
I couldnt care less about IPF this or multiply that, or moral high ground bull crap. Every feds refs fuck up at times, it being human. It’s what you aspire to that counts. This is not about feds per se, it’s about standards of lifting. The IPF are not fucking saints when it comes down to a lot of ploitical bullshit. This is not the point!
hell I like watching multi-ply lifting, I go to watch BPC meets in the UK and will hopefully be at the WPC Champs this year. I know guys that lift multi-ply, cool.
However if you want to have a fed that apparently let’s high squats pass as a matter of course then fine, it’s a free(ish) world, go for it!
But that’s not what powerlifting should be, and it’s a shame that people are fine with this. Is a couple of inches to much to ask for the credabilty of the whole sport?
Fortunatly I will loose no sleep over this as I know this type of liftng is, thankfully not what the majority of powerlifting is.
They must give the judges some complimentary weed to smoke during the meet.
Nope. It’s against their “Drug Free Policy”.
That’s good old fashioned natural idiocy right there man. Just like the good old days.
Multiply hating’s ghey cos it’s done by weak guys afraid to put on the equipment, but IPF hating’s cool?
Multiply hating is annoying because every asshole’s got their opinion on it and feels like they need to remind everyone of it constantly. No one in multiply tries to tell anyone in any other federation how they should be doing things. We do our thing, we have fun, and besides for getting irritated with every discussion of it getting hijacked like this thread did, we don’t give a fuck what anyone else things about it. Would be nice to talk about a multiply WR without some twat having to shit his opinion into the thread EVERY SINGLE TIME though.
IPF hating seems necessary given the extraordinary amount of hubris displayed by that organization and some of its members. Even if it were possible to hold a moral and intellectual monopoly on powerlifting, the IPF would be far from holding it.[/quote]
You’re first paragraph is about how multiply lifters never talk shit about other federations, and your second paragraph is you talking shit about the IPF.
What ever happened to just smashing fucking weights?

I respect anyone with the cojones to step on a platform, regardless of federation, unless they give me a reason not to respect them.

I watched the video… It didn’t look deep enough for me.
I bet IPF judges would’ve called that high.
It’s either wasn’t deep enough, or I’m an idiot… Yeah, I can already see the pissed off powerlifters in this thread who wants to burn me to death from this post.

To be fair, none of those with the exception of Gillingham and the last girl would have been passed on any other day in the IPF. Nathan Baxter didn’t complain about that call, and he has made a concerted effort to get deeper ever since.
I think you’re contradicting a lot of your defence of multi-ply lifting with the sorts of posts you are making here.

As I’m sure you guys have gathered, I’m not a fan of the IPF/USAPL at all. The difference is, I don’t go into every single thread about the IPF and bitch about how I don’t like it. You guys seriously don’t see the difference?

I was looking at the videos and the only one that didn’t pass by my standards is the second video… I couldn’t really see the last vid for some weird reason…

Apparently some people got their pussy bruised when they saw Chuck’s new record using that disgusting multiply and some other’s just told them to fuck off. That’s about it.

No shit???
The difference is, and I know this the reason why people hate the USAPL (the IPF is better in this regard), if you get a lift, you KNOW it’s good. There’s no disputing it. That being said you might not get a good lift, and a lot of people haven’t. But at least people who lift in those feds can admit it.
