You guys are counting that 460? Don't get me wrong, that is a strong lift, but even in an informal competition it seems strange to count a bench where it looks like the guy pulled on the bar. I know he said he didn't, but I can't count the number of times I saw some guy pull on the bar and then assure the lifter that "it was all you bro".
Nice. Was waiting for someone to chime in with that argument. Like I told getsum, either way.
As i get older I am realizing i have to get while the gettings good. I can put stats and PR's up here all day long. But, the main concepts with my workouts....
1. GO BIG OR GO HOME.
2. FORM IS EVERYTHING
3. BREATHE.
No 225 video today. Did not feel good going into the gym this morning at 4:40am and felt a slight twinge in my right pec, so I backed off a little. Also, might not have gotten in enough calories yesterday. Will resume on Monday.

Fear not, if there's another entry of 460# at 215# bodyweight, I'll make the call and give the lift to whichever looks cleaner. Until that time, it's a non issue.
My primary goal is get people to post their videos so everyone can see where they measure up and have a little friendly competition while doing it. This is a friendly internet comp and not a powerlifting comp. It's very difficult for me to tell if someone's ass is leaving the bench and most people know the great assistance that provides. There's also noway for me to verify people's body weight. There's noway for me to verify the different "supplements" people are taking, yada, yada...the list goes on.
This comp is run on people's word, their honor and their class. Let's not make majors out of minors.
I'll probably split up the weight classes during the second half of this years comp based on the number of entries. Go with 20 pounds classes starting at 151# or something.
Edit: I've been considering finishing this comp with everyone's wilks score as well, just so I can sort all the entries that way as well.
***Please post your body weight when you post you videos!!!***

Just so you know -- I wasn't trying to be a dick ... Just being honest. Like I said though, strong lift either way.

I gotcha....It is pretty cool to see all these great lifts. Some of you are putting up some damn respectable numbers!
It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man.

You had it. It was moving the whole time, the guy freaked out. TERRIBLE SPOT, he was not in position to help you if something went wrong, and probably would have injured himself as well.

I didn't take it that way at all.

OK, I went back ten pages and looked to see if it was too late to get in on this but couldn't find anything. I'm not going to win anyway, so it really doesn't matter. Also, this lift may not count as my spotter put his hands on the bar. I really have a hard time with spotters, I tell them "don't touch the bar unless it is moving down" or I say I need help. Never fails, if I stall a little they grab the dang bar. I don't know for sure if he helped or not, I did stall some but I never felt out of the lift. I called this a miss in my journal and that is what it should be here, at least I am represented and in a week or so I will get another one up with a for sure clean lift. I weighed 254 this morning, I have gained so much weight since I got crushed. I was 216 pre-accident. Anyway, this was 345, the most I have attempted since I played ball in college in '79. Hot dang that was a long time ago.

There is no future in dwelling in the past.
A man is about as happy as he sets himself out to be.
A man can learn something new everyday if he wants to.
Nice lift! But you were about ready to murder that guy LOL!
Wayne is my buddy and we workout together occasionally but he spots me all the time, he knows how I feel about touching the bar "AND" he still did it! if you look close you can see him smiling. I think he is laughing at what I said to him before I got off the bench.
In my journal I counted this lift as a miss. Going to go back and change the above.
