Even if you think GMO is great. How do you like Monsanto's way of conducting business? Trying to outlaw manufacturers right to put "non GMO" labels on their products. Trying to sue whole countries in Europe who have democratically outlawed GMO because it has been proven to carry health risks and still have risks/effects that have yet to be fully understood.
EU has a complete ban on GMO, do you really think that is without valid reason?
Sorry that is wrong, the EU does not have a complete ban on GMO's.

The only thing about GMO I find offensive is when large corporations sue small farmers for patent infringement when their GMO seed, through no fault of the small famer, crosses with the crops on small family owned farms. This is corporate behavior that I find offensive and not the GMO seed itself. Protest against Gmo seems to be one of the current causes in vogue among liberal types and completely groundless.
You should read the lawsuits. Monsanto doesn't prosecute small farmers because seeds blow onto their land. When they do sue a farmer, they usually have very good reason to suspect the farmer was illegally using Monsanto seeds. Things like spraying all the crops with roundup which you wouldn't do if they were conventional crops. Farmers sign a contract whenever they buy Monsanto seeds that says among other things they will not try to reuse them and will buy new seeds the next year. If the farmer doesn't like the conditions of the contract, they can buy their seeds elsewhere. There are many choices.

OMG, do you seriously not buy into that Anti-GMO crap?
No, so let me guess. Monstanto is evil and all GMO's are deadly poisons going to give us cancer, high blood pressure, ADHD, ADD, liver damage, makes us sterile, make us obese, and many others? No I don't buy into that.

Is the timing/sound off in the video? As in the video he starts his press well before the press command was given. Props for the huge raw lift, just stating that pressing before the ref gives the press command should get you red lighted. Hopefully just the sound is off sync with the video.

Come on bro those shitty reps still take power, if he skipped the pause and went all the way up, fully extended his arms and touched his chest he would have 20 reps, with a pause he would have 15. I know you guys all love bashing him but let's not get carried away here, 10 reps is a joke bro.
Although the quality of the reps was poor, saying cswole is not strong is a little extreme. I have to agree.

I don't get it. I have never done half reps like that. I was always taught that a rep consists of: the bar touching your chest, and almost (if not) full lockout.
Depends on how you train. I personally like 1/3 1/2 reps when training sometimes. Helps me develop explosive power out of the bottom part of my lift, which is important in raw benching. That being said I made sure my reps were slow and controlled with full extension in my 39 video. I knew if I cheated at all it wouldn't have counted for the contest.

No you guys are right but hey at least he followed through to the best he could and it was some good time here but we need to keep these lift videos and challanges coming, this is so much fun, lol..  Yes I give him credit for posting the video. I didn't think it would ever happen, especially if it was a failure.
