I had the nightmare of spotting Ray Williams at a contest. We had 5 spotters, I think he hit 931. We were cheering louder than the crowd because no one was confident about catching that. He made sure to come up and express his appreciation to all the spotters and judges during the meet. He's a real class act and I've made sure to thank the spotters and judges during my contests ever since because it felt real good to get that appreciation after a long day spotting and loading.

[rajabanksshorts]

I never understood why machines aren't used for spotting... Chains, lever arms... Something. Lifters can be paralyzed because spotters weren't up to the job... 😳😳

6:21 wow, this is the most brutal part of the clip, BY FAR. ive never seen powerlifters have to run so far!

[GuerillaRadiio]

The amount of unity in powerlifting is beautiful

[houba]

I mean... that is just one of the best lines to ever come from powerlifting :D : "I am not running for nothing...😮‍💨"

[deleted-user-uht]

Ray's squatting technique is so interesting, almost blasts off like a rocket and then putters out. Never seen anything like it.

[Hypeman]

I still can’t believe how primitive this setup is. A basic fucking stand that shakes, no safeties to drop the weight on. You’d think just one of these disasters would be enough for them to swallow their pride and figure it out, but no.

[WildAsDaTaliban]

How many hundred pounds do wraps add? It seems like they can't even bend their knees when wearing them.

[cybererik]

last guy practically ran off stage every time. obvious something was going on.

[Jim_Beam_]

Почему нельзя выполнять ЭТО в раме, чтобы спортсмен мог бросить гриф, а не корячиться выползая из под него!?

[billj]

I have been going really heavy on squats every week for so long now. Not one rep maxes, but still really heavy. They are going insanely heavy, but they still make me kind of afraid of getting hurt. I squat alone, so I just can't imagine what would happen if my leg blew out like one of these guys. It went on the guys neck forward. I mean someone can potentially die if things go completely wrong. I sometimes lift at my brothers house since he has a full gym. Not even a person in there other than me.

[AASIDJAALO]

It was pretty insane when Fredrik Smulter broke the world record in denmark ipf world championships. First guy over 400kg in bench. He had to do something extraordinary to win and put 30kg over his personal best in the last lift, and nailed it

[tonights]

Spotters on frank allen at rising tide must have been shitting bricks. Frank Allen is 6’6 taking 950 on raw squat in USAPL, monster of a man

[gyurmethlodroe]

Moral: We need stronger spotters...these wimps failed to save

[williecanuck]

Erik Willis winning Gold at worlds in 2018 was great..

[oLars]

Kelly Brantons failed squat seems so overly dramatic tbh, don't know why he would put up such an act, people that has actually missed a squat knows that this one looks very odd

[BannedBooksFromBorlest]

I like the video, but I have to share my experience with you, the question is the book You are stronger than you think from Borlest, it is mainly about increasing testosterone, it is a very important male hormone that is responsible for building muscles and bodies in men, trainers and fitness influencers he will not reveal the secrets found in that book, it is also known how weak men are today due to testosterone compared to our ancestors

[robuspasjonat]

IPF hasn't discovered monolift yet. 😂

[danielcollins]

From experience most men squatting sensible loads get about 25kg/55lbs from IPF legal wraps. That'll go up as you get to the elite weights and in feds which allow longer wraps and no walk out for the squat.
