Why the fuck does he get 2 reds?

They reckon he wasn't locked out on one side. Difficult to tell from the angle of the video. Derek seemed a little bemused.

I was up against Derek that day and when I saw him lift the 355kg on his second attempt I turned around to my handler and said...oh well...second place aint too bad against Big D but I too was shocked when he got 2 reds. Looked locked out to me from where I was standing but from the perspective of the judges they must have seen something different.

Like this one...talk about harsh! A case of the sport being for the refs not the lifters here?

Jono Radich - 280 final attempt. Been squatting this deep all day for whites.

Lol what a joke! That would be considered ass to grass in some other federations haha.

I guess its easy to mistake the "crease of the hip at the top of thigh" for the "top of thigh" when the lifter has large quads

Cant believe that squat....can anyone pick out anything wrong with it??

then you have this

:pfft: IPA squat rule is "The lifter must bend the knees and lower the body until the top of the thigh at the hip, NOT the hip joint, is lower than the top of the kneecap"
