That was awesome, and his 820 deadlift was pretty sweet too. |

questionable depth on squats and if you watch he has a hard time getting his butt down when deadlifting which means he probably is wearing briefs under the singlet. He is an awesome lifter. I still believe it was very impressive. |

I thought his depth was good - those squats were certainly sunk lower than Frankl's. |

Yea they were questionable. Frankl's were HIGH. I thought the last one was good the first a little high the middle one lower than the first. I lift USPF if that gives you a little insight of what im talking about. The guy is still very impressive. I am not trying to take that away from him. |

Fair enough. I agree that the last was the deepest of the three, but I didn't think any were obviously high. I'm still a bit of a newb to the world of powerlifting though, and haven't competed yet, so maybe I should just stfu for now.
One thing I'm sure everyone will agree on is that something was obviously rather strange with Dave Hoff's benching: http://i30.tinypic.com/287el4o...

element_26 good luck with being a newbe. The best advice I could give you is do a competition asap. Find out where you are at and it will push you to get stronger faster. one day in a competition is six months in the gym when you are new. |

i thought his squats were plenty deep, especially for the SPF and what they passed for frankl. frankls squats were fucking denver high. and in his last squat, the crease in the suit, which is very cisible at his hip, definitely comes parallel with his knee. and im curious to see if he was wearing briefs on the deads. even if he was, they arent going to help all that much. |

Squats were not questionable. Maybe in USAPL, but definitely not for multiply and DEFINITELY not for SPF.
You do realize that he is allowed to wear briefs under his singlet when he pulls...so why bring it up?

What you just posted echoes my thoughts on the topic almost indentically.
As someone who has watched Chuck for many, many years all I can say is his longevity and ability to continue to make progress and challenge/beat/set records in any fed he competes in is awesome.
You just can't knock the guy.

Chuck is a monstrous lifter. Cool guy, too.
I only wish that he had done this in a meet that wasn't so tainted by judging issues. |

I dont think that he put breifs on under his suit, it just dont seem like it. And those squats were great. |

I'm about 99% certain he does, but its irrelevant. |

Thanks charger, I'm planning on competing very soon to get some numbers on the board!
And the talk on PL watch is that Hoff had knee wraps under his shirt. A travesty if it's true. |

So I have been out of the competitive powerlifting circuit for a few years, but has the standard changed that much? What is legit competition depth for squats now? Is it actually different for differnt federations? You will always see high squats passing, but I always thought it was the judges turning a blind eye. I am really not trying to stir up a brawl here guys but I am just curious if this is actually the standard now. |

What does that say about SPF? Just pause it on youtube at 1:04, that's just nowhere near parallel. I don't care if it's strong or not, rules are rules, they are there for a reason.

Oh God. Here we go again.
Multiply means unlimited supportive gear. That is in the rules.
Multiply has a standard of depth that is different than that of the IPF and its affiliates. This standard of depth, however, is still within the definition of the rules. This squat met that standard. |

Agree until you got to the last part. From the SPF rule book: "Upon receiving the head referee's signal, the lifter must bend the knees and lower the
body until the top surface of the legs at the hip joint are lower than the top of knees." Most feds have something similar in their rulebooks. The IPF rulebook is virtually identical in its depth description. Chuck's squats meet the standard set by recent judging at multiply meets but not the letter of the rulebook. |
