Yeah as our boy said, it takes into account your bodyweight against your total based on historical data. Not 100% accurate but still a decent measure of comparison!
I know nothing at all about lifting, but did they seriously say he gets just 5,000 bucks for what is clearly a very special achievement? That seems like a really tiny prize, especially for American standards.
It is tiny. Powrrlifting is now in a major transition moment where money is just coming in in a serious way but thats mainly in europe or on the world level in the IPF federation. Its a big part of why rondel is coming over tk the ipf. If hed done this performance at sheffield hed have made minimum 6 times this.
Why these type of people don't compete in ipf( world level championship). Even though they can take medal easily, if we look at his numbers. Are they natty😂
Rondel has talked about it a couple times. Trinidad and tobago had a political squabble between the former and current regime for powerlifting. The IPF gave the country an indefinite suspension until it was resolved. During that time Rondel competed in 1 USAPL meet since he was stuck unable to compete for several years at that point and was turning into basically a gym lifter. Then the IPF lifts the ban but it now means he'd have to face at least a 12 month ban because he competed in a competitor federation. Luckily for us though, Rondel just announced he's coming to the IPF and he'll take the ban no matter how long it is.
@@Isaiah_McIntoshso you think rondel is natty? Why lifters from usapl are much more stronger than in ipf? Why atwood became stronger when he competed at usapl?
@@tonygrigri2475 honestly........I don't know or care. Just pass the drug tests which he's done same as everyone else. People lose strength coming to IPF because of judging standards, much quicker flight times, for the US folk travel fatigue, much less time between weigh in and competing etc. The IPF is the hardest league in the world for all the reasons out together not just the drug testing standard, which isn't that huge a deal clearly when you have IPF lifters outtotalling their untested counterparts.
@@tonygrigri2475 wanting to be the official federation of the sport. Mate it's about branding and money. Individuals might give a shit about things like drug testing but it's about money to federations. Things like the ipf having the sbd sponsor or ipf not allowing the use of certain other sponsors by athletes. It's always about money 🤣. Just like the local trinidad federation getting split up for all those years.
Awesome that you guys finally uploaded this pretty historical moment. Rondel is going to be in the goat discussion eventually.
Yea whenever he comes off suspension
why did he get suspended?
@@calvinstevickbrown8171 I believe he competed in a different federation that got him suspended. Not positive though. That’s why he was a guest lifter
Absolutely mate! Insane performance
@@calvinstevickbrown8171 IPF suspension because of competing in the USAPL. His home country of Trinidad had a bunch of issues and wasn't a part of the IPF for a good few years
He's not only the deadlift king, he's the sbd king
All his lifts are insane!
Wow what a grind. The grind on the squat is the best sensations ever when you finish it.
Right?!
Damn he was dialed in. Every last lift was at his absolute limit. Perfect lifts.
True that
That 3rd squat was both legendary and inspiring...time to hit legs!
Holy shit what an excellent choice of weights! Every single last attempt was a perfect grind, congrats!
That’s basically every major performance of this year covered. Nice job
Thanks bro! Doing our best!
That Squat has me hyped sitting at work in the office. LET"S GOOOOOOOOO
Hahaha, that’s how it should be at work eh
Same 😂
5000 dollar is absolutely ridiculous for this performance. One or even two zeros more would be appropriate
I hope the prizes increases in the future when powerlifting becomes bigger.
And who is giving the money ?
Powerlifting is a very niche sport.
Minus taxes as well I presume lol. Because the sponsor or Org that’s paying it wants to claim that money as write off.
So like 3500
White Lights Media is the premier go to for powerlifting raw footage.
My only bucket list while I’m in this sport is getting a shout out 😅
Thanks so much Corey!! Hopefully you’ll show up in the future 😉
One of the most impressive performances in powerlifting
Wasn’t it just
He found his exact pr's
And he was disappointed 🤣
Haha on the day yeah, there's for sure more there on the deadlift! And I'm sure he'll progress more in the future
Legendary performance 🔥
It was!
my boy khalid looking strong these days
Absolute powerhouse
ye bro
Trini to the bone brother 🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹
Third squat impressive! Monster!
Crazy grind!
What a unit
Big lad
This human is a BEAST, also great production! May I know the music in the background?
Can’t remember the name but it’s either from artlist.io or epidemic sound!
My palms litterally became sweaty watching this
What music is this? It's rad
Can you tell me the background music in this video?
As a trini, im glad my country has this beast.
He's the most complete powerlifter ever!
Just watching the squat fight gave me a cramp
project from Teinidad and Tobago goes crazyyy boppp boopp boppp
The fucking king 🙌 pleasure to witness
This is unbelievable awesome
Just Insane!
is he by any chance the deadlift lord?
Bro Rondel is a monster. It’s going to be a spectacle once he’s officially back in 2025.
phenom freak of nature
Song?
Masterclass
*taking notes*
Strapless double overhand on 876lbs is insane
I was looking for this. Absolute insanity
hook grip
Beastmode
He killed it
Total specialist for a reason 🔥🔥🔥🔥
awesome strength
Crazy
what a squat!
The orthodox lift king. Period.
Top demais, parabéns, muita força, saudações aqui do Brasil TH-cam Caminhoneiro Strong ❤
What does the DOTS mean?
Formula to compare performances across different weightclasses 👍
THIS MY GUY RIGHT THERE!
He’s killing it!!
Powa!
Spotters not missing a chance to flex their legs during squats 😂
Greatest of all time.
In this kind of weight class, certainly!
If he is natty, where can I find his drug test results?
USAPL.
Ridiculous strength
How dots work??
feeds weight and total into an equation and gives your a score based on that
Yeah as our boy said, it takes into account your bodyweight against your total based on historical data. Not 100% accurate but still a decent measure of comparison!
I know nothing at all about lifting, but did they seriously say he gets just 5,000 bucks for what is clearly a very special achievement?

Helal sana balotelli
😄
Impressive af. But when you know that John Haack lifted 22,5kg less in total while having only 3/4 of his weight...
I love John as much as anyone but PED’s are well…… a hell of a drug 😂
Almost 400kg without straps .. wow
Insane
I thought you are not suppose to walk over the bar after a deadlift. Is it not a foul?🤔 5:12
Salty
Notice the lack of a stupid slingshot on the bench and no straps on the deadlift. This guy is awesome 👍🏼👍🏼
Nice Severus snape profile picture. “You were seen by no less.. than 7.. muggles”. And yeah rondel smashed it!
And he pulls conventional!
Did the commentator really say 5 grand payday. I hope he gets a bit more than that from sponsors or something!
Sponsored by SBD in some capacity!
No wrist straps for bench and squat, man has the wrists of steel 😅
Haha yeah
Meanwhile John hack at 90 kg
Drugs, deadlift bar, non strict judging 🫡 Not really compatible
Bro can’t squat 385,0001kg 🔥
That’s probably not possible
The third squat was a clear fail. Well above parallel. Strong fellow but rules are rules.
Damn the music is absolute shite
Sorry Deadly Ice Cream :(
Mf he benches more then Jesus Olivares who is 170 kg . 💀💀💀. And he is 119.5 kg
Quinn will humble him
