Yes not bad however Im not sure about the pause at the bottom or the lockout on this lift.

I think the pause was fine the judge clearly tells him to press (albeit a bit quick), the lockout is hard tell from this angle it looked better when I watched it a second time. Still strong as shit

Didn't look like a good lift to me.

That's a big boy !
The lockout definitely seemed like it was not really there ...

Guys obviously strong..but he had to go down about 8 inches pause for a second then go up 8 inches

The judges called it good. Me..thought it was a very quick press command and lockout..shaky at best but..three white lights it's in the books. Hope when I decide to compete again I have as generous of judges!

Oh...Pakina...that's true..and one reason why the larger bellies are pushing the weight. Less room for the bar to travel.

Thats how most IPA judges are from what I've seen

I think the judge threw him a bone on the bottom pause and no way that lockout is what you and I would get.... all that being said. Damn... he's still a freaking beast!

Much Respect,
Vette
