The SPF goes down like Frazier

[DieYoungStrong]

Well, I guess the Powerlifting gods have had enough of the SPF. As of July 1st, Powerlifting Watch will no longer consider lifts completed in SPF meets to be legitimate, and they will not count towards records and rankings.

I'll just leave this here....

Dat SPF depth doe...

 

[ECKSRATED]

That's awesome.

I bet if Stephen Hawking went half depth he could squat 950 lbs on his third attempt too.

this is not a done deal. the spf has made rule changes to meet what pl watch was bitching about

"Good squat, sugar."

"I concur, baby!"

"Wah--tuh."

Its been an ongoing issue for a long time. The spf said they would make rule changes and never stick to it. Q

Funny that Eric, Zahir, Andrei out squat them in basketball shorts and actually hit depth.

 

[ToolSteel]

It's about friggin time.

Damn, some of those were grossly high, like 1/4 squat high. It's good that someone set it right. Those inflated numbers take away from anyone that has competed and hit a proper depth.

 

[ken Sass]

you can't judge from camera's. that was 1 of the bitch's that pl watch addressed. jessie reversing calls by watching video . now judges decision stands

 

[ECKSRATED]

Ken you're gonna honestly say that any of those squats in that video should get all white lights? They're not even close to hitting let alone breaking parallel and some of these are for world records. It's absurd. It sucks for guys who actually hit depth and can't lift as much because they're not 1/4 squatting it.

 

[DieYoungStrong]

When you can see that it's not even close from the front view, you know there is a problem.

I agree that it's the worst angle to see depth, so when it's obvious from the front, there is a big problem.

Hellen Keller would have red lighted most of those squats.

Their problem isn't the rule. The problem is the judge not using the rule.

You really can judge from video. And this has gone on long enough. The Squat Partial Federation has had this issue come up repeatedly. The squats in that vid are clearly high. Anyone can plainly see that.

 

[ToolSteel]

As much as I hate seeing high squats passed, it's almost equally as frustrating seeing top IPF lifters get red's on good squats. The judging at the Arnold was absurd and inconsistent.

Edit:

This hit 2 reds. Her 2nd attempts looked IDENTICAL and got whites.

I think the front angle is the best view to show how grossly off they are. If it looks high from the front, it's worse from the side. From a competition end, I always felt the head judge will give you the benefit of the doubt; now you just need to convince one of the other two.

I feel the same. Don't think I've ever seen 2 whites from the side and red from the head judge.

Yeah nevermind pl watch reversed their decision
