I don't have a dog in this fight. But the lift was good and it pisses me off that the man got blatantly screwed out of a milestone lift. I had planned on attending the SPF Worlds with my friend J Robinson, but said fuck it after watching this bullshit.
As a judge myself, why would the two side judges be looking at the lockout? They should be looking at the feet, butt for fouls. Head judge should be looking at lockout...best view. Side judges have same observation as the camera shot in question in which jesse says is pretty much BS. Its funny everybody even people that don't know Keith would give him the lift, what are we all seeing that the SPF refuses to see??
As i said before....Keith you got the lift. It looks and sounds like the SPF and their judging are back stepping. The judge himself (thebigwade)said he and another judge saw something wrong ??? whats up with that. The judges should have pulled you aside and all of you come to a conclusion, benefit goes to the lifter. Prime example of why this sport will go nowhere. Jesse should have over ruled and given you the lift Keith. This is why i dont lift in meets, money in their pockets and you pissed.
Absolutely awesome Keith! 555lbs is a tremendous feat! It ain't the 10 100lb plates the Blue Cyclone works out with, but we need to give credit where credit is due. Keith works the bench like a PBR rider on a bull; he doesn't give up before the horn. You guys need to read Proverbs 11:11. You all should be positive influences for your sport of powerlifting. All the player haters and wannabes need to put their egos and insecurities aside and congratulate a true champion, Keith Mackey.
I would also like to reiterate that I have the utmost respect for Keith on and off the platform. To insinuate that there was something amiss beyond what I saw on the platform towards me or the other judges is not only unfair but, it's also very wrong. Keith is a great bencher and I feel that his best lifting is well ahead of him.
The 3 of us had no intention nor did we make anything dangerous. It was loud, I yelled to lock it, called rack and called it again as it was loud in the building. To infer that there was something beyond that is asinine. He asked what I called and I told him rig thten, simple as that.
Repping Tennessee!
