I think generous officiating has something to do with it.
Yea his body weight going from 270 to 276 it is less than 3 Wilks Points. Having said that if he water cut he could be getting down to 255 pretty easy and that would be worth 8 points so we are talking an 11+ point difference he is giving up.
Wraps are probably worth around 10 points. I dont have a lot of experience with them but lets generously say they add 50lbs to a 800 pound squatter. That 50lbs difference in total is worth about 13 points on a 2225 to 2275 pounds total.
Hahaha I kid, but just getting on that platform is a huge accomplishment, so next year.
What are the consequences for this?
He said he’s just going to try for a pr total. But I believe he’ll just lift at 220. Only down side is he has to compete against heavy weights instead of making the lightweight cut.

With Wilks I really dont see that as a disadvantage unless he thinks he has a better shot against the lightweights.
And found this, meet the lifters:

i think he probably thought he had a better shot against the lightweights, however from his facebook post looks like he now will only be lifting as a ‘guest’.

That, is fkn brutal. Is that Comp Rules or? If it is comp rules is that because he missed the Lightweight cut or is that for any weight class you miss?
It should be posted on Youtube and BB dot com will have a link to it as well as they are sponsors. Things like this usually pre post it but nothing yet that I can find either.
I found it.
You go on the Kern US open instagram page and in their Instagram story highlights section (you need updated Instagram app) there a livestream one that sends you to YouTube

Any updates on the comp?
I just watched a min of the YouTube stream and saw Maleik miss his second bench, think it said he missed his 3rd squat and his sefind was good at 317.5kg
Ill try to watch some of the deads later
Edit: he only made first squat but it was 327.5

Am sick but saw Pitbull hit his opener of like 280+ so decided to stop being a wuss and went to the gym. Just got back.
John Haack missed his 300kg opener.
Sick FUK!!!
Did he bomb out?
Just watched the deads for flight B, couldn’t tell who was out in front wilks wise but Pollack got 332.5 on his second then jumped to 372.5 (lol) for 3rd and barely broke the floor with it.
I’m guessing he calculated that is what he would need for the win, not sure why else he would make such a big jump.

Think haack got hurt. Derstine didn’t have a good meet. But then again neither did a lot of people.
I think it’s too bad that Ben Pollack didn’t pull the 820 deadlift, considering he hit above it in the gym, he also didnt seem to have the best meet all around
TOPish in the 82.5kg and 90kg classes:
Blazek 590
Nauanov 579
Hobaica 561
Pollack 561
Derstine 559
Pitbull 549
I think so. I didnt see him in the Deads.
Pollack: I think he miscalculated because that 40kg jump was for 588 wilks and 2 below the lead OR 9 above 2nd soooo…of I dont know how the lighter light weights did and maybe that was for 2nd or 3rd.
Derstine: Yea he went 3 of 8. He skipped his 2nd DL to save it all for 1 last shot after seeing what he needed and had kind of a scary miss.
Pitbull: His name is Kevin. That is all.
Big Boy: I really dont think Big Boy is going to have a good day tomorrow. Their whole crew had questionable reps as far as PLing goes ie not pausing benches and depth but Kevin’s was the best and he did not have a great meet.
I’m sure huge water cuts take their toll - probably why a lot of guys underperform vs training lifts
