Are you talking about the Carmen Leonelli whose name appears on this record board in the 165 weight class?

HILARIOUS. So the dude actually DID compete in powerlifting. Hubert, what’s your take on this? Why doesn’t your boy Carmen have the squat record on here? I mean, he’s hitting the current record for 21 reps. You’d think if he was actually competing as a lifter, that he would have put a record squat number on the board, right? You have a reasonable explanation why that’s not the case?

Well, he did 460 for 21 reps, but the record is 465. Maybe he’s one of those guys who has great endurance but lacks top-end strength 
*Edited to add: I see that OP said he did 465 for 21 reps. Whoops.

Your point is still valid. Maybe he can do 465 for 21 but 470 is more than he can handle. If he couldn’t beat the current record, he probably wouldn’t get his name on the list.
*Better explanation than the OP will give you.

Keep in mind this is a football team meet event rather than a strict powerlifting meet, and the rules are a bit more lax in some respects. For squats, it lists “After receiving the judge’s signal, the lifter shall bend his knees and lower body until the bottoms of the thighs (hamstrings) are at least parallel with the floor”; so not a full depth powerlifting squat, but still it is nice to see they have some standards. Not that the buddy has the team record anyway.
jjkkrash, nice find!

Yes that’s him, that was his junior year if I’m correct

Wooo now that’s a generous definition of “parallel”!

Oh well that explains it! He must have just put 300lbs on his squat in one year. I mean pretty typical.
We should all be cognizant of the fact that Carmen Leonelli is in all probability a nice, strong kid who is minding his own business playing football in Ohio, while fortunately being totally unaware of this stupid thread. The kid is starting to become collateral damage and that’s not good. Unless Carmen himself is making these claims I’m totally abstaining from any more smartass comments.
The OP on the other hand…

I mean, I wouldn’t post this thread and have all of this commotion for fun, I’m not lying when I say he did this. He’s the most generous lifter I’ve ever met and will help out any lifter that needs help. And the columbiana powermeet is not a real powermeet you dumbasses. It’s for high school football players
You still have to explain how he went from not being able to do more than 465 for one rep to doing it for 21 reps in one year.

That still doesn’t explain why the best squat listed is 465, and it’s someone else. I’m sure your buddy’s a strong dude, and probably super nice too. But that claim is outrageous.

But you are lying, or at least wrong. Because he did not do this. And you said yourself that wasn’t even a real meet so if he cant lift once what you said he could lift 21 times in a football meet with very lax standards, could he really execute a meet quality squat at that same weight?

Well, the dude’s in facebook. Someone could just ask him if this happened.

I actually did have an owl swoop my bait off the top of the water this past March. Thank God the hooks didn’t get in him.
