i can still never understand the mindset to go to such extremes either with gear or how some lifters manipulate their technique to such extreme measures to put up bigger #s.
do these folks really find satisfaction or pride from a lift like that?[/quote]
Yeah. It’s called vanity. It’s almost the same as putting styrofoam weights on the bar to show people that you have “showmanship” as a powerlifter. Absolute, total bullshit.

Decreasing the range of motion by taking advantage of your flexibility is just one of them.
You can also use drugs, multi-ply gear, cutting depth in the squat when you know the judges are dumbasses (which alot of them are), building extreme amounts of muscle at the superheavyweight class because YOU KNOW YOU CAN BE A 350-POUND FREAK AND GET AWAY WITH WEIGHT-CLASS RESTRICTIONS, getting fat just to gain leverage, dedicating your entire training for the sole purpose of CHEATING (such as overloading your triceps with rack-lockouts so that you can take full advantage of your bench shirt), choosing a certain powerlifting federation that has below-standard records so that you can easily break the records and call yourself a “world record holder” when in fact some female chinese weightlifters are squatting ASS-TO-GRASS what you are currently squatting OR MORE, and last but not the least, keeping yourself from doing a full powerlifting meet so that you can compete with your “specialty” and not do the two other lifts because you know you suck at them and will only give you a pathetic total whereas if you only compete with your “specialty” no one can beat you at it.[/quote]
Every post I read of yours makes my head bleed, and gives me a headache.
I think somewhere you missed the “if you dont have anything nice to say, dont say anything at all.”
Every post you make is whining and crying.
This is supposed to be fun.
I did Olympic Style for a year or so and have the utmost respect for those lifters. Just a different style, and I found out its a young guys sport. WOW, did my knees hurt all the time. [/quote]
You’re right. And geared powerlifters are for old geezers with high cholesterol. The most prominent example of this is your very own, guru of worship, Louie Simmons. He thinks bacon cheeseburgers have whey protein.

Wut?
Good arch, damn. Saying that using flexibility in one’s advantage is cheating while the rules allow it is almost like saying that using strength during the lift is cheating. With regards to both: You have it or you don’t

Did you seriously just say being muscular is cheating? You got your ass kicked a lot in high school didn’t you?
While I usually have no opinion on anything anyone else does (I am remarkably self centered) I say good for her, her flexibility, whether inherent or achieved through a de-boning process, yoga, exposure to chemicals or whetever else has allowed her to gain a legal advantage in the sport she competes in, the key word being “legal”, while people piss and moan about geared/ungeared lifters, or natural/juiced lifters we tend to forget that there are a variety of genetic anomalies that allow people to be successful at a wide range of sports for example:
Basketball- Yao Ming (pre-injury), at just under 15 feet tall he had a natural hoops advantage, that coupled with his ability to appear to be only 7’6" tall (Chinese Illusion Technology is advanced) made him imposing yet still loveable to over 16,000,000,000 Chinese folks throughout the world. No talk in the NBA about banning giants although they are at a distinct advantage in a game where height is important.
Football- Mario Williams- when Mr. Williams was being grown in a lab to create a 6’7" 295 lb athlete that runs a 2.7 second 40yd dash, benches 850 lbs raw (because it’s the only way that matters right Vik?) and knows Pi to the 115th digit (and can recite it while riding a rollercoaster) the NFL has no plans to ban people for being naturally bigger, stronger, faster or smarter than other NFL players.
Baseball- Albert Pujols- While clearly a robot from the future sent to crush the hopes of Cubs fans (it’s important to keep wrigleyville sad, the future of mankind depends on it) While Pujols was born (or built) with exceptional eyesight, wrist/forearm strength, and incredible hip rotation the Kommissar of MLB has made no move to ban futuristic dream crushing cyborgs, or even really athletic Dominicans from the majors.
Hockey- Seriously I’m an American we don’t give a shit about hockey (except if the Bruins win).
So in short stop bitching about flexible women (praise them instead) short armed, thick chested bench specialists or short legged, long armed deadlifting savants, instead focus on making yourself better and getting better at whatever sport (or permutation of your sport) you compete in and stop crying about everyone else.
Long winded and out.

This might be the most awesome post on this site, ever.
I’d like to point out that the only people bitching about this not being a “real lift” are people who hardly lift any weights themselves. When did the BB Forum trolls started flooding this forum? IS THERE NO SANCTITY LEFT ON THIS WEBSITE?!
Just sayin’

If Planet Fitness had any sense at all, they would invest in monolifts for every club and hire Buckeye Girl (at a VERY high price) to be their spokesperson.
-stop tossing the internet salad of the only girl who posts here, its fucking pathetic
-that chick has a monster bench more power to her but it looks painful
-cheeseburgers don’t have whey protein in them? YES THEY DO THEY HAVE FUCKING CHEESE ON THEM

Everything about powerlifting is painful.

It was a legal press, but it was also pathetic… Who cares what freakish shape you can twist into to press a light weight. A bit of sportsmanship would go a long way

So, if I understand your argument correctly, training to be stronger so you can lift more weight is cool, but training to be more flexible so you can lift more weight is not cool?
I mean, I was having difficulty hitting depth in the squat for a while, so I tried getting more flexible so that I could total in a meet. Was that poor sportsmanship?
That is fucking awesome
