SO i just got home from the meet. I saw some pretty cool things, the most impressive being a Ukranian named Sergiy lalalal (don't know his last name, it ends in ov though) who squatted raw dog, opened with 920 and smoked it. Tried 992 for the all time raw world record, missed it twice. The third time he got robbed...unracked the weight but wasn't fully in control, and the idiot front judge gave the squat command (he's not supposed to do that unless the lifter has full control of the weight) right at the same time that the guy started falling backward with it...didn't get his chance. That was so muich fun to watch.
My
training partner, natural 198'r, opened with 623 on the deadlift, smoked it, went to 660, smoked that, and then went to 705 and JUST missed it. That was alot of fun to watch.
My gym set some world records this weekend. A 181'r (natural) set the world record for
bench press with 535. The ladies set squat/bench records in the 148 and 161...
Was a good meet.
EDIT: Oh forgot to mention, that Ukranian opened with a 705 deadlift raw, no belt, went to 775 raw no belt, and tried 815 raw no belt (missed).
