Legit A F

Cant wait for this comp!

[Wookie]

I'm still holding onto it.

It was the worst call in NZPowerlifting history and was the first 400kg squat.

Nothing wrong with the lift.

[donz]

So excited for comp!

[maccaz]

further derailing thread but i just watched a video of that squat, what a shame to lose that epic battle on judging lol

[soundsgood]

You know I agree with both of you, it was a 10/10 squat

[donz]

Come onnnnn comp!

[teamfatboy]

I was there that day - and yes, maybe it looked harsh. But, it's important to note that:

a. at least two judges out of three red-carded Tonka's lift on the locked knees issue - I don't know if there's a video showing whether it was two or three reds;

b. the Chief Judge (centre) calls 'rack' when "the lifter is motionless (in the apparent final position" - it's a balance between keeping a lifter standing around with a heavy-ass weight on their shoulders, and giving a lifter a reasonable time to complete the lift.

Incidentally, there's no prohibition on handlers providing verbal cues - one CDPA guy is legendary for his machine-gun-like "down-down-down-down-down" which seems to go on for ever before he goes "up-up-up".

Putting that aside, Wookie's got it right - it's the best meet in the country, and the atmopshere at the 'house is something you have to experience.

How the hell did that not pass?

[Realtalk]

Reuben is the man. Just asks why then accepts it. Some people could learn from that instead of throwing wobblys at comps. Was a good squat, so deep.

It is what it is. No point crying over spilt milk guys.

Who is competing at this comp TFB? Is there any big records expected to be broken? Give us the pre comp write up/predictions.

Lol was going to post about all this squat talk but don't want to derail thread

[Realtalk]

Probably made your point bro, kinda detracting from the thread which is the comp this year.

[donz]

Im out, don't wanna derail the forums

I was just sharing the video of the lift in question in case it hadn't been seen by others

You're all correct its completely derailed a thread promoting one of the premier lifting comps in the country.  I apologise and wasnt my intention Ill delete the video.  

Thread could do with a tidy up Tom

yeah seperate it into a general judging thread or some shit, or just delete, this should be positive thread

[Skeletor]

Yes someone please separate it to a different thread then because i want to know why it failed? I thought that's what this forum was all about, being able to give your opinion. 

[donz]

Sorry bro can't help - it's derailing because every other thread on the forum is always strictly 100% on the topic it starts on rofl

[M.T]

donz pls play sayfe  :smackbottom:
