Andy won his weight class but Delroy McQueen won the overall best lifter...

Sorry..but all those squats were VERY high....not even close. If they let that pass just because of who he is then there is no integrity in any of it.

It's simple; Rezazadeh has more explosive power. Andy has more raw strength. Rezazadeh couldn't deadlift 1000 lbs, and Bolton certainly couldn't c&j anywhere near 580 lbs.

WPO squats are BS though; unlike IPF and Oly lifting, they're nowhere near breaking parallel, and they don't even have to walk the bar back off an actual stand/rack; and don't give me the "you try stepping backward with that amount of weight" crap - a few guys have done it in the past.

It's only about the numbers now.

As for height calls the camera angle is pointing down look at the line of the it slopes up in relation to the bottom of the screen so at parallel in squat the leg will slope up relative to the ground.. and it is so boring getting people calling every squat video high (unless the camera is side on inline with the knees

Anybody know the weights being lifted at this meet?

[cyberkai99]

I look at it this way.  There are around 2 dozen feds to compete in these days. So, compete under the rules you want to and everybody else will compete under the rules they want to. Powerlifting, to me, is about setting PR's under the same conditions each time you lift. For instance, if you squat 350 1" above parallel and then a month later, you squat 375 1" above parallel, you have gotten stronger. Powerlifting is simply all about that, POWER.

lol, thats a very good question, ive been doing powerlifting for 4 years now and my coach and training partners have never used or talked about using that 'rack touching" stance, idk ill give it a shot the next time i do a full effort squat day and get back to u.

[treetoptop]

I have a question about these very wide stance squats I see these days. If the lifters were to try this without the base of the rack bracing the sides of their feet, would their feet just slide out sideways from under them? Is there a lot of side pressure between their feet and the base?

[czoraa21]

why hasent he done WSM yet?!?! i know he is true to the powrlifting game but he would do so well!

[danizarko]

no rompes un culo

[liiiiiiiiiike]

the third squat was just deep enough, and thats the one that counts.
