i heard he got injured, not sure I didnt see much of the lightweight livestream yesterday. I think he bombed out

22

I skimmed through the livestream, but didnt see any of his attemptsā€¦ Not even a first.

23

I feel Iā€™m overly strict on squat depth but this is stupid. Saw more than a few squats that looked good. Also saw a few thirds that were needed to stay in the game passed that werenā€™t as deep as their first or seconds. Wtf

LARRY WHEELS UPDATE

That 3rd Squat was huge for him.

He basically just has to match his last meet 3rd and the record is his.

EDIT: HELLA WRONG! He matched last meets squat so he has to make up the other 100lbs with bench and deadlift. He will probably have to pull over 930 as i dont see him adding much to his Bench for this comp

EDIT UPDATE: He has to pull 435kg. He pulled about 408 in prep on a DL bar with plates to the ends.

I told you so moment: ā€œget that man some calories!!!ā€ Direct quote from a month or so ago.

which part of this amazing grinder 683 deadlift by Blaine Houck inst legal???

36

Surprised with all the grip issues. I think my top pick shawn might bomb. Also the one guy dropped like 733 twice. Whatā€™s up with that

RESULTS:

Belkin 610
Brandon Allen 600
Larry Williams 592

Brandon Allen missed a $30k Deadlift as the last pull of the meet.

Larry if he weighed in at 250lbs and totaled the same would have had a 607 Wilks.

Fkn Yury Belkin going 5 of 8 to win it all. Does that dude ever hit a 2nd Squat? LOL

TIME TO MONDAY QUARTERBACK LARRYā€™s CAMP:

I have said a lot of this before BUUUUT:

Dude needed hella more calories.

Last meet he water cut down to 268 to go 810-610-855 for 2275.

This meet he was 270 like a week out and ended up going 821-590-882 for 2293 weighing in at 277.

I know he did the BB comp, he weighed over 260 for that. To not even put on 20 pounds during a rebound? Somebody needed to tell him to lose the abs.

This is his 2nd comp in a row he has Squatted more in Prep than on the platform.

His bench is the same. Technically it got worse but his last 610lbs Bench I think was a gift of a press command.
