White lights? Come on. The guys a beast, I'll give him that. Incredible for 198, but he's wearing a suit AND it wasn't even close to parallel. I'd like to see his total at a competition where the judges are legit.
Shawn Frankl chooses to lift muti-ply and he's the bet @ what he does.You can't compare him to a lifter who lift in other fed's because the rules are so differen't.If you think this guy is weak when he takes off the equipment you are wrong.He's benched raw @ 220 in the Olympia contest I think but I don't know what he did.Over 500lbs for reps I think.He's also a nice guy when I talked to him online.
Great lifting for this federation, but would struggle to total 2000 in ipf and clearly would fail the drug protocols. But great lifting none the less, can't compare federations, the rules are too different. Need parallel depth for squat in ipf, need to pause bench and lockout. Only single ply suits in ipf. Huge difference in numbers. Thats why the deadlift is so much lower, the gear is not as beneficial for the deadlift.
The freak is one of the best powerlifters ever... he's a freak of nature... this is a SPF meet.... not usapl, not ipf, not uspf, not wpc and so on, its a SPF meet!!!... if you have a problem with the depth of the squat then talk to the judges... or write in to Powerlifting USA magazine and tell them how wrong they are about Frankl being one of the best of all time... ok?.... hes competed in UPA, APA, IPA meets and put up huge totals, so if you dont like it, compete in your BS fed an shut fuck up
Hey asshole, how about you go to the next UPA show come on over and say that so I can Uchi mata you in to orbit. You dont know who you are talking to so watch the fucking lip.
When you watch Frankl's deadlifting training video you get a better appreciation for what a powerful guy he is. When he trains raw there can be no doubt that he's a true freak. The guy is elite. It would be awesome if he ever competed raw, because I think he'd dominate his weight class, although I don't know how he'd do in meets where the weigh-in is 2 hours before the comp instead of 24. Still: awesome lifter.
I don't power lift or judge power lifting events but I can say the only thing wrong with any of those lifts is nothing! The depth was good, they looked like they were too easy. I bet he wishes he would have used a bigger number.
The benches did not get back to the original height but you can't help bones bending can you?
I don't know Frankl I am from Omaha where B.I.G. is located and it is good to see some country strength. Only thing wrong with Frankl is he is from Sioux City! (Kidding)
You must be talking about a guy like who? Scott Cartwright? Who broke Ed Coans 1025 squat. When he says he prefers UPA and competes at the Powerstation Pro/Ams. But dosent win, hmmm i wonder why, why would he win in the USPF and not win in the SPF? I mean if USPF guys are so much stronger, then he would win right? But he dosent, hmm i'm confused. Cant compare DRUG TESTED to NON DRUG TESTED!!! TRUST ME you ignorant people, the SPF and IPA and UPA have the strongest guys in the world period!
Let Frankl and his buddies lift under IPF rules. No Monolift and IPF judges. If he's as strong as you want us to believe, then he should have no objection. After all, all the great lifters have lifted under the IPF, USPF, ADFPA, etc. Right now he's a big fish in a small, incestuous pond. If he really wants to be a big fish in a big pond let him lift under IPF rules. Then there will be no doubt as to his greatness.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA Dude, how many times do I have to tell you??? This guy could fucking go 700-550-700, SOOOO fucking easy RAW, not to mention if you threw some good single ply gear on him. How do you not see this??? Name an IPF guy that can do that????
He's number one because he has the all time world record total and world record squat. Obviously this is MULTIPLY gear, not single ply like the usapl or ipf. So dont even try and compare!!! If the greatest powerlifter ever, Ed Coan said he's the best 198lber in the world right now... umm i'm pretty sure i'll take his advice on that, and sam byrd who use to have the multiply squat record at 1050 at 198 squated a raw squat at the raw unity meet of 705, Frankl could crush that.... he's the best!
Forgive me but, I can't see how on earth those squats were given white lights. He did NOT even get to parallel from the appearance of this clip, much less below parallel. I am not trying to take anything away from his achievements. He is far stronger than me but, I know what I see.
lol.your funny...too bad you nd ure friends are too much of bitches to go against the REAL strongest powerlifters in the world. Dont deserve a world record total...I CALL BULL SHIT!
IF he ever even thought of going into usapl he would take last place at thier nationals. honestly he would bomb out till he dropped a good 900 pounds on his total. nd i have a million reasons why i could say that.
wow thats it!!so he TOTALS 2600 equipped. but he totals 1800 raw!! lol theirs gotta be something wrong their. My bad if he did IPF he'd total like 1700.
Those are easy opening numbers, fuck stick. I was using them as an example to say that I'm pretty fucking sure he could total that raw.
Also, this isn't the IPF. If that's what you like, get the fuck off my channel and go suck Wade Hooper's dick. This is a video of multi-ply lifting, like it or not.
i don't think there were any issues with the squats. they were fine. the deads were awesome. it looked like he didn't lock out on the bench though. i doubt anyone who posts on youtube could even hold half his squat weight across their back.
it's amazing how much jealousy these vids spark. if you're going to complain about the squat depth y the fuck dont u just join this fed and beat him? oh.... because he's a wr holder that's worked his ass off.... and all u fuckers probly don't have knees from going ATG all the gime
Amazing lifter and amazing lifts. Only negative is that contrary to what the end of the video said, the judging seemed fairly lenient. Still stricted judging would of probably only lowered his total by a tiny, tiny bit.
I dont normally comment on things like this....but what a fucking joke!
Every squat was high, his ass was off the bench on the pressing....the only legit lifts were his deads. So with correct judging this would have been a 0 total having failed every squat and bench.
Doesn't suprise me though! PL is become more of a circus joke than a sport, and moreso in the American feds!
I just checked Jasons 310kg squat and its about an inch deeper than your squat Shawn. I think you should go to the United Kingdom compete. You missed out the hardest part of the lift. I feel it very unfair for this total to be counted as the biggest all time total at 198 pound because your doing a total different lift. I coached my son at the WPC worlds this year in Britain and you wouldnt have placed with the peformance above. Why not take 45kgs off the bar and lift it correctly.
Dude don't fucking talk to him like you know him. No one gives a shit about your squirrelly-ass kid at WPC Worlds, the WPC being a joke federation in itself, so just shut up. You can't fucking tell depth from this angle, so don't run your mouth like you have some 3D angle and can see perfectly level his hip crease and knee.
@ElPorteroBestia That's not parallel and you fucking know it, everyone knows it. Even at this camera angle you can fucking tell. This guy can outlift me for sure, but that wouldn't pass as a squat in most federations.
White lights? Come on. The guys a beast, I'll give him that. Incredible for 198, but he's wearing a suit AND it wasn't even close to parallel. I'd like to see his total at a competition where the judges are legit.

1He is heavyr (Ever heard of Wilks Calculator?)
2 He uses triple layer (Ed used only single)
3 He didn't squat parallel Ed did squat parallel
4 No stop at the bench like Ed did.
I didn't know steroids makes you dumb, so to see you took a lot of it.
19tuureluur86 2 years ago
1.) It's called Schwartz Formula you dumbfuck... and Ed Coan competed up to the 242's.
2.) Ed Coan also competed in multi-ply; it's not my fault he sucked in gear.
3.) You aren't a judge, nor can you see from this video, so get off the parallel thing.
4.) Times have changed and they compete in VERY different federations.
Obviously if steroids make you stupid, you're on a lot of them because your can't type for shit. If you don't like this video, get the fuck off of it.

You are realy dumb, Go to school stupid kid.
The sport of powerlifting is a strength sport based on intricate formula known as the Wilks formula (formerly the Schwartz formula)
Your arguments are even more retarded than you are. So it's pointless to argue with you.
