Hedge, youre an apologist for both islam and the general decaying state of the swedish folk as ruled by a traitorous regime filled aplenty with scumbag jews, but what is your take on this lift?

Give us your opinion on the bar, lockout etc.

Do you have anything to say on the matter re: Bolton always pulling that 'tounge out' face at the top of each lift thus making his face resemble the asshole on the goatse man?

I will not apologize for the lack of lockout on Bolton's part. 8)

Bolton's shoulders are just not pulled back and his hips aren't pushed forward.

So the lift isn't totally completed IMO.

So no, - I would not give Bolton white on that lift.

But when seeing him warm up, it looked exactly the same on 245 kilos, and the 1008 was actually pretty easy for him.

So it's probably just him having large thighs and a habit rather than him failing at the top.

I hate to piss on a lifter like Bolton who is a real lifting machine.

But that lift, IMHO, was not locked out.

But without a doubt the most impressive non-tested deadlift I've ever seen.

No.

Hyperextending of the back is not required.


We can argue all day about whether Bolton stands fully erect. I don't think he does, you obviously believe he do.

I think the hips are too far back, that's my reason BTW.

But the shoulders are not pulled back - so the lift should be redlighted on that alone.

JMO.



1. The lifter shall face the front of the platform with the bar laid horizontally in front of the lifters feet, gripped with an optional grip in both hands and lifted until the lifter is standing erect.
2. On completion of the lift the knees shall be locked in a straight position and the shoulders back.
3. The Chief Referee’s signal shall consist of a downward movement of the arm and the audible command “Down”. The signal will not be given until the bar is held motionless and the lifter is in the apparent finished position.
4. Any rising of the bar or any deliberate attempt to do so will count as an attempt. Once the attempt has begun no downward movement is allowed until the lifter reaches the erect position with the knees locked. If the bar settles as the shoulders come back (slightly downward on completion) this should not be reason to disqualify the lift.


Causes for Disqualification of a Deadlift.
1. Any downward movement of the bar before it reaches the final position.
2. Failure to stand erect with the shoulders back.
3. Failure to lock the knees straight at the completion of the lift.
4. Supporting the bar on the thighs during the performance of the lift. If the bar edges up the thigh but is not supported this is not reason for disqualification. The lifter should benefit in all decisions of doubt made by the referee.
5. Stepping backward or forward, although lateral movement of the feet or rocking of the feet between ball and heel is permitted.
6. Lowering the bar before receiving the Chief Referee’s signal.
7. Allowing the bar to return to the platform without maintaining control with both hands, i.e.: releasing the bar from the palms of the hand.
8. Failure to comply with any of the items outlined under Rules of Performance.

I don't know.

If John Kuc couldn't do it - who can?

John Kuc with todays suits and a regular barbell - perhaps, I don't know.

Kuc was a monster - extremely strong IMO.

It's a bit of a coulda, woulda, shoulda.


Right now Andy Bolton and Brad Gillingham are the two kings of deadlift IMO.

The secret is in the gut pressure.

Eat and you will get strong.

That's a proven method.

You may have to train a little too.

But having a huge appetite is the fastest way to a big bench or a big squat.

You may look like a bowling ball - but you will lift a ton. ;D

Hedge, seriously, you amuse me.  You think if the lifter isn't in the IPF the lift is not good.  He outpulls anyone in that federation and any other.  Drug testing is a joke.  Your opinion of the IPF is also a joke.  It is a solid federation with some great lifters, but that doesn't make it any better than any other feds (although it is better than some).

Hedge, whats your opinion on the bar that was used for this new record lift?
Was it an Oakie type of bar? One which flexes more?
Hard to say what effect it has, but I know a guy who used an OL bar (which flexes more) instead of a regular Eleiko PL bar during an exhibition lift - clearly made him able to pull 30-40 lbs above his previous best.

I think the thickness of these Oakie bars are like the OL bars as well.
So if Bolton did it with a wonky bar it ain't the same.

How does his arms stay attached to the body? :o To be that fat and strong is probably harder than dieting for a BB show.

Was it an Oakie type of bar? One which flexes more?
Hard to say what effect it has, but I know a guy who used an OL bar (which flexes more) instead of a regular Eleiko PL bar during an exhibition lift - clearly made him able to pull 30-40 lbs above his previous best.

I think the thickness of these Oakie bars are like the OL bars as well.
So if Bolton did it with a wonky bar it ain't the same. 
That is a ridiculous statement.  The man deadlifted 1008 pounds, and you are saying that because it was done on an oakie bar it isn't the same??  The only fed that doesnt use a special bar for deadlifting is the IPF.  Even the USPF uses an oakie bar in their meets.  I train with a regular texas power bar in the gym, and when I go to a meet and pull on an oakie bar the difference isnt shit.  In fact, I prefer the stiffer bar to deadlift with and I am not alone with that.

i'm on cutting cycle, it's 1000 time easier than my powerlifting cycle of last winter.

not eating crap is easier than squatting or deadlifting very heavy.

OMG comparing Magnusson to Andy Bolton is like comparing QueerFarts to Ronnie Coleman.

calm down matt.

i feel your pain, being forced to use proxy servers to attack getbiggers, but there is no need.

i used to engage people like you in the past but now i'm content in the knowledge you would never ever ever in a million years speak to me like that in person.

you are clearly a racist coward, and your shame known no bounds.

take care
