I know these guys are insanely strong even without equiptment... but the bench suits are ridiculous. I'm okay with the belly pressing because it's technically legal. But no human should outbench their dead unless they literally have no legs.
Completely agree. Who cares how much you can bench with an unknown assistance amount. Raw bench is the only way to tell how strong a bench is. Can we please move on from the assisted lifts? They're a joke.
@@overthebar , thank God I don't need a say. Geared lifting is dying for a reason. I could bench 5000lbs with robot arms but who cares? What can you bench raw? Thats the only way to tell true strength.
Its kinda embarrassing that the IPF equipt benching is this out of control. When did they change the bar positioning on the chest? You use to not be able to bring down to your belly...or am I mistaken??? 8. After receiving the signal, the lifter must lower the bar to the chest or abdominal area
you are allowed to bring it to your belly, it has to stay still however, when joe benched the bar was moving at the bottom. That's why he had a hard time getting press command
I know. I'm pointing out the new IPF rule. I remember it being that you couldn't bring the bar below your chest. Mind you I haven't competed in a USAPL or IPF meet in almost a quarter century so I'm sure they amended some of the rules.
What the fuck is up with blaines squats. The rules clearly state that you must be able to walk out and re rack the weight. He could barely walk out and he never walked the weight back, he just leaned forward. Also depth was an absolute piss take.
@@PowerliftingbyFred Thank you! Didn't think I could describe them as (slighly) taller and lighter than Ray Williams and way taller and lighter than Jezza Uepa, though.
PgMergener deadlift suits only add 20-50 lbs to your raw deadlift I personally prefer to pull raw because it will allows me to get into better position. Squats suits + wraps can add 200-250 lbs to a single ply squat. Bench shirts can allow you to bench 100-200 more in a single ply bench.
No it isn't, that guy who said yes is wrong, it 100% needs to be on the bench according to the rulebook, I think these guys only were given some wiggle room bc they are well known and because they are equipped (which makes it harder to keep your head on the bench)
Two factors. First, their girth makes it difficult for them to get into a good position for the deadlift. Second, they're lifting equipped and the suit and wraps adds around 200 lb to their squat, whereas the suit adds very little to the deadlift. If they were lifting raw there would be less discrepancy between their squat and their deadlift.
yeah but them compared to other power lifters you have guys like jesse norris who weighs not nearly as much as them but he can pull 826 pounds yet he competes in the 198 class these guys weigh like 350-400 pounds, chubby bois have harder time getting good for deadlifts
Caleb England it wasn't the female announcer who was so annoying was you who cannot comment on the video and say something constructive and interesting.
No the female announcer was really annoying. I dont like announcers in general. Most of them say the dumbest shit. And i can comment whatever i want on here. I honestly dont care if i hurt your feelings.
I mean... this is just not accurately displaying strenght. 850 lb bench? ROM of 10inches and pausing on a tower of fat, utilizing the suit more than your muscles. Fair enough he can probably bench well over 500lbs raw, but this seems so ridicolous to me
Martin Hoff I mean it's equipped lifting, obviously he's going to try to utilize the suit as much as possible (otherwise he would voluntarily put himself at a disadvantage)
Competing in gear is really hard. Just being a little off in your technique, or being a bit too heavy for your suit can really throw you off a lot. Thats why you see so many more people bomb out in gear than raw. If you bomb raw, you picked your attempts like an idiot, but you can bomb in gear with great attempt selection.
Which is exactly why geared lifting is just dumb. I mean it adds almost 400 lbs to Blaine's bench. The judging here was pretty bad...if you don't hit depth because your suit is too tight, bring another that you can hit depth in. Rules are the rules regardless if you're handling incredible weight that 99.9 of the planet couldn't move.
These guys aren't as strong as they might seem. They couldn't even deadlift 800. In the early 1970's at the dawn of powerlifting there were supers with high 800 deadlifts that weighed a lot less. These guys now have strong clothing, gear, or equipment..whatever you want to call it. 322 lb John Kuc in 1973 dis a 905 squat with only ace bandages, 610 raw bench and 845 deadlift. The supers in this vid even had on deadliftr suits and couldnt pull 800 ! It seems like powerlifters have gotten weaker !
To be fair the judging wasn't as strict back then. Now guys like Kuc were no joke but there is a videos of Reinhoudt hitching the bar and still getting a good lift. But there is also another video of Kuc and Reinhoudt just manhandling the weight with no hitching. Kuc also had a better deadlift at a lighter weight. He had issues getting into position and losing a extra 50 lbs just added that to his deadlift. ...at least that what Judd Biasiotto told when I would ask him about Kuc. These guys would get eaten alive by those greats.
I feel like it was a lot easier to get away with using steroids in those days though, obviously steroids don't do all the work and you still need to be genetically gifted and a hard worker but steroids clearly help contribute to your strength
SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT....GO!!!!!
First guy: “Wrap my knees”
Guys that wrap knees: “How tight?”
First guy: “Papa Smurf”
Guys that wrap in unison: “Ooooohhhh!”
IPF is such a joke Joes first squat is a 100% Clean and still a red light.
I know these guys are insanely strong even without equiptment... but the bench suits are ridiculous. I'm okay with the belly pressing because it's technically legal. But no human should outbench their dead unless they literally have no legs.

@@Nobo35 so geared lifting deserves to die because its not raw lifting. Makes sense
@@overthebar , wrong. I said geared lifting doesnt tell anyone exactly how strong they are, so whats yhe point?
Never seen Blain squat so damn high and get away with it lol

Height and weight on these guys? (Besides "a lot"...)
Single-ply or multi-ply?
Single ply. Blaine, 6 ft 2 in, 385; Joe, 6 ft 2, 365
@@PowerliftingbyFred Thank you!
Didn't think I could describe them as (slighly) taller and lighter than Ray Williams and way taller and lighter than Jezza Uepa, though.
How much money did they make?
Which "press" shout should they follow? 2 ppl shouted "press" in 2 occasions.
ferna2294 there could have been 2 platforms or his handler might have said press.
Oh ty!
Just getting under that weight deserves respect never mind squatting it #RESPECT
Equipped lifting is a dieing sport
@todd studley Ain't that the truth.
Who were the announcers?
I could be mistaken, but I believe they are Bonica Lough, USA, and Mike Armstrong, Canada.
ahh thanks
Why these guys have "punny" deadlifts compared to their squats?
PgMergener deadlift suits only add 20-50 lbs to your raw deadlift I personally prefer to pull raw because it will allows me to get into better position. Squats suits + wraps can add 200-250 lbs to a single ply squat. Bench shirts can allow you to bench 100-200 more in a single ply bench.
They're also carrying a lot of fat. Having wide hips & a big stomach makes it much harder to get into a tight deadlift setup.
Is it legal that the head has no contact to the beach in ipf ??
宋展毓 Yes
No it isn't, that guy who said yes is wrong, it 100% needs to be on the bench according to the rulebook, I think these guys only were given some wiggle room bc they are well known and because they are equipped (which makes it harder to keep your head on the bench)
Is this the Olympics or something
no, powerlifting isn't in the olympics, thank every god in a book for that
@@overthebar If anything raw lifting should be in the Olympics.
Are the judges blind or something?
Absolute beasts!

Lecko mio Makafrouney I wasn't aware that an 832 deadlift was weak. You must be pulling at least 900 to make a comment that idiotic

David Brockmeier compared to squat and bench dude jeez he didn't really know what equipment they we're using
There is no suit to aid them that much.
the female announcer was so annoying...
Caleb England learn how to properly comment on the video and the subject matter.

No! Suit AND drugs lol.

damn blaine either you were having a really lucky/good day or that 500kg squat was the result of some favorable judging politics. the hell you doin?

There are raw lifters around now that are better than anyone lifting raw in the 70's.
Ridiculous judging.
BLOATMAX
Not deep enough, bench ridiculos
sit
GOOO
Their deadlift comparing to other lifts is xD
Beautiful sqwats
blaine is hitting that bar on his fat belly and lifts half the distance in his bench with that
So?
0:20 funny, is it ok to touch the plate?
so where was all the great russian and eastern bloc lifters in this SHW contest? afraid of a real drug test?
BENCH SHIRTS ARE A JOKE! THEY SHOULD BE BANNED!
