Congrats to Cooper!  But this seems less of a muscle thing and more of a technique thing that works better for people with arms that are the right length where they can scoop their elbows under the bar once there's that initial burst up (and that part does require strength).  Leverage and technique play a very big part.  Not sure Bhanks has the same arm length/leverage factors Cooper has.

Looks like Cooper didn’t win and he is blaming the judges.

Yep, him and bhanky will get along well

Does Coop the Powerlifter train legs?

It’s a joke. Shoulder and arm movement out of control. Nothing strict about it.

It doesnt appear to be an actual curl (to me at least). Like some sort of odd "arm flip"..

None of these idiots or morons trains for real.    Coop.   Spaulding.  Hanky.   Bunch of freaking mental patients.

[Krankenstein]

Conspiracy by Rogue...my FB feed had all sorts of things about the Arnold strongman...but lo' and behold NOTHING about the almighty strict curl.  What gives?   It's a LEGIT powerlifting event!!!!  Why no information or pics on the winner.  There were 100K people there...who runs this shit show???

[joswift]

Cooper has fucked hanky off, there will be no more training vids of them together in the future

Haha yes, I hear the live-streaming audience eclipsed the 1,000,000 mark

He got a bullshit red flag on his 2nd attempt for failure to lockout according to the ref. Then he got another on his 3rd when he reset his grip they said he ran out of time and did not let him attempt the curl. Apparently you have 60 seconds total from when the bar is loaded I didn't even know that rule as such he did not break the world record and was very upset.

However he is so far ahead of the competition his first lift was still enough to win the Arnold Classic. He is now the 2 time Arnold Champion. His next event is in July same one I am competing in. I am sure he will be trying to beat his world record then and I will be training with him for it. I hope to qualify for the 2024 Arnold at the meet.

Brian, pardon my ignorance here

Wouldn’t a world record holder such as Coop know how to preform the lift?

Also, wouldn’t these world renowned judges know how to judge a Lift properly? It’s not a curl contest in a gym. This is the Arnold after all.

[Soul Crusher]

Can you do a bodyweight curl? What did you win at the Arnold this year?

It’s same metric if I can clean my ass after a poop.  Who cares ?    It’s a ridiculous nonsense thing and we are all laughing out asses of at you homos wearing powerlifting suits and thinking this is a real thing.   

Thank you for the hilarity and laughs.

So that is a no you can't do a bodyweight curl and you didn't win a damn thing. Looks pretty real to me like I said if it is good enough for the Arnold it is good enough for me. The Arnold Sports Festival is certainly more prestigious than your weekend tough Mudder ruck march nonsense.

Hmmm...perhaps a legit "sport" might have a rule book or maybe a tri-fold pamphlet for their 'participants'

You didn't know that rule, just like you didn't know that other 'rule' when you first strict curled (stifling laugh).  Fucking excuse central....

[Hulkotron]

Fairly obvious in the video that he wasn’t close to locking it out.

[Krankenstein]

Can you do a bodyweight curl? What did you win at the Arnold this year?

Can you snatch?  How about just overhead squat?

If not, STFU pussy

[bhank]

Can you snatch?  How about just overhead squat?

If not, STFU pussy

Did you win the snatch or the overhead squat at the Arnold? That would be impressive.

[Krankenstein]

Snatch = legit lift.  Strict curl = jr. high school bullshit

Did you win the strict curl at the Arnold?  That would be....a joke

You didn't know that rule, just like you didn't know that other 'rule' when you first strict curled (stifling laugh).  Fucking excuse central....

fucks sake the world champion doesnt know the rules of the "sport" 

It could be written on one fucking page

ISCA STRICT CURL RULES
1. The lifter shall face the front of the platform. The bar shall be held horizontally across the thighs with the palms of the hands facing outward and fingers gripping the bar. The feet shall be flat on the platform with the knees locked and arms fully extended. The lifter shall have head, shoulders and buttocks against the wall during the lift.
2. After removing the bar from the rack, the lifter must move backwards to the wall to establish his/her starting position. Lifter shall wait in starting position for the Head Referee’s signal. The signal will be given once lifter is motionless and the bar is properly positioned with your head up, chin up, arms extended fully down and heels of feet no further than 12” from the wall. The Head Referee’s signal shall consist of an upward movement of the arm and the verbal command “curl”.
3. No” flights”, lifters will compete from their 1st attempt, lightest to heaviest. Three attempts will be allowed unless going for record attempt. If you fail lift, you may continue to “retry” that weight until successful or run out of attempts. NO LOWERING OF WEIGHT. Easy opener is suggested. Wraps allowed, NO GLOVES.
4. Once the curl command is given, the lifter must bring the bar up to the fully curled position (bar near the chin or throat with palms facing backwards).
The head, shoulders and buttocks must remain against the wall throughout the entire lift.
5. The legs and hips may not be used in any way for momentum to complete the lift. Lifter may not lean back to assist in bringing the weight up. Any thrusting of the legs or hips is not allowed.
6. When the lifter has reached the finished position, the Head Referee’s signal shall consist of a downward movement of the hand and the verbal command “down”. The signal will not be given until the bar is held motionless and the lifter is in the apparent finished position.
7. At the completion of the lift, the head, shoulders and buttocks must remain against the wall. Lifter will need to wait the signal to replace the bar. This will consist of a backward motion of the hand and the verbal command “rack”.
8. Any raising of the bar or deliberate attempt to do so will count as an attempt.
9. The lifter may, at the discretion of the Head Referee, be given an additional attempt at the same weight if failure was due to an error by one or more of the loaders.
Cause for Disqualification
1. Any downward movement of the bar before it reaches the final position.
2. Leaning back to assist the lifter in raising the weight.
3. Head, shoulders, buttocks coming off the wall during the lift both while going up or down.
4. Failure to stand erect with head and shoulders square and the buttocks flat against the wall at the completion of the lift.
5. Stepping backwards or any foot movement, such as rocking the feet.

6. Lowering or racking the bar before receiving the Head Referee’s signal to do so.
7. Bouncing the bar off the thighs or bending the back to assist the lifter in starting the upward motion.

Hanky may want to forward this to Cooper for his next comp

By all means keep this up.  The entertainment and hilarity of this situation is beyond gratifying.   Curl on Queen.
