[hanbacca]

was this contest single ply only or something? I have definitely seen you box 1000 on a monolift...

[jimmcd1234]

Yes, it was single ply.

[jdoyle650]

i was there!!!! but i competed in the 198 weight class

[autobellian]

yeah guys, mark can squat far more than what you see here, he obviously babied them but Im sure he had a good reason.

[helpcurecatholicism]

that squat suit looks like it gave him amazing pop out of the hole especialy with that 727

[jimmcd1234]

no, this is the uspf. the ipf affiliate in the US is the USAPL

[Duffman89detmig]

is this a IPF meet ??

[arnifs]

unbelieveble benching realy strong squats

[desembodic]

odd sumo technique, inhuman bench, and too easy squats.

[BenchBrandi]

Very very nice lifts mark !!

Nice to see you wanna be strong in every gear :)

BUT - since when the IPF allows Scoop Neck Shirts ?

Regards

[fhunkymonkey]

Insane squats, he made them look easy

[djmaso]

Mark is brining powerlifting together! He truly loves lifting to cross over

[bigtonutz]

wow!!

[mccannruairi]

awesome stuff.squats were strong fast and deep, plus fantastic benching for single ply

[fkoff925]

never mind ,single ply ?

[jimmcd1234]

yes single ply

[bubbi666]

is this not like IPF standard?

[jmaddiso]

yes and no, squats and deadlifts are the bench is not.

In the bench the bar is lowered further down the torso than is allowed in the IPF, his shirt is also pulled down lower at the front than would be allowed in an IPF affiliate fed.

Technicalities aside, the guy pressed 800lbs in a single ply shirt, that's just sick!

As for his squats, i think it was his first time walking out a squat in competition, that squats going to go up in poundage fast!

[fkoff925]

was this raw ?

[bubbi666]

dosent look like it ..

[pwrlftr242lbs]

Damn good lifting! Those squats were deep and strong!!! The other lifts were strong!!!
