I like when he picks up his trainer like a rag doll.

Mariusz is strong but will never have an Olympic gold medal.

I think this was a very good lift. I would not have called a press out if I had been judging.

and he's not one of those people who grip it really fucking wide. I hate that shit it looks retarded

It's important that a countercurrent note be sounded, else viewpoints become hidebound! Yes, there was some press-out. No, it should not be DQ'd for that. He got the load to locked arms overhead. That should be enough. It should prove harder to press out than to jerk perfectly. Is elbow touch to knee still a DQ in earlier phase? It should not be. Sloppy perhaps. But let the lifter rise however he can as long as he does it alone. Pisarenko & Taranenko might dispute this was a WR.

Maybe you should learn to read English before you go insulting people; he didn't say anything offensive.
