A 4th lift.

[solar777]

Face pulls

[BongoBanger]

lateral raises.

[UHCougar05]

Log Press, plus allow hitching in the deadlift

Then they can call it stron... Oh, ISWYDT...

[johnolexa]

Leg press... must break parallel !!!!! LOL

[C0bra]

Calf Raise. Oh wait, they already do that in THE SPF!!! HI-OOOOOO.

[BombDonald]

clean and press. except a lot of total records would be broken, that is the biggest problem with adding a 4th lift.

......




What?

[Sharksinurmouth]

Strict curls would be rad.

[rancid_theclash]

I agree with push press for ease of judging... Maybe powerclean or clean... I think everyone has there own personal 4th powerlift ( Mine being OHP and powerclean)

[LegosInMyEgos]

penis extensions!!!!

[rancid_theclash]

penis extensions!!!!

lol thats an excellent warm up for all the powerlifts

[NewbieX2]

penis extensions!!!!

Alright, my time to shine!

[jbealsrmt]

Adding more lifts to a Powerlifting event might be a bit much..... Doing 9 1RM attempts with 4-6 new PR attempts in one day is pretty hard on the body. I couldn't imagine people doing 12-15, no matter how well trained they are. Also, the resulting competition totals would likely be lower than gym PR's and it would make it more difficult to choose the weights because of the level of fatigue by the time you get to the 4th and 5th lifts.

[xRequiem]

Clean & Jerk and Snatch. Just get rid of the other 3 lifts.

Then we've basically got oly lifts.

That's stupid. What would the women do for their fourth lift?

[LegosInMyEgos]

penis retractions.

[saw7988]

It's gotta be push press, ohp, or some type of clean. I really don't see any other options. Weighted chins wouldn't really be a good competing lift for reasons already stated in the thread.

[salty-vtr]

well there was already a strict press comp in a meet, someone posted someone hitting 440 on these forums!!
op's had a fair bit flaming for this thread, i didnt think it was that bad! wouldn't mind seeing oh press in pling, makes it more a competition of compete strength!!

[SquinkysGhost]

Great idea guys, bench isn't clearly enough so lets add another upper body push into the mix.

Don't worry OP, I get that this is just for discussion, and not to be serious. :P

I think weighted pull ups would be hard to incorporate though. Could be easy to kip up, and use body sway and momentum, and would make it difficult to judge. Also, what counts, amount of weight attached at belt, or bw + extra? Stretching neck/chin to just peak over bar? Something like that would be hard, because concentric is before eccentric.

I would like to see military press, but it would probably suffer the same fate as it did in the Olympics, unfortunately.

Maybe dips? I would think it's harder to cheat with dips than a pull/chin up.

Kipping with added weight is so hard it's almost neglectable. Standard could be to touch the bar to the chest.

Not sure if srs

[Link815]

I vote we remove deadlift and go to 2 lifts.

[ChecksandGiggles]

I vote we remove deadlift and go to 2 lifts.

I'd rather we removed Bench

[LegosInMyEgos]

I'd rather we removed Bench

ignore listed.

[WHT_LIGHTNING]

I'd rather we removed Bench

this, if they remove bench, I might consider doing some pl meets, lol.

They have push/pull meets, but they don't have squat and pull meets, lol

[MegaDave]

I'd rather we removed Bench

I'd love to do a Squat, Press and Deadlift comp.

Not push press though.

[JacobRothenberg]

meets are long enough already. stop posting stupid ****.

[mitten]

i vote military press, and split the event to two days, squat and bench, and dead and military press on the other

[WHT_LIGHTNING]

Crossfit does that, I know CF gets a lot of hate, but I like that idea from them

[goosefrabbas]

I'd be too sore to deadlift a day after maxing out on squats. Probably the same with military pressing the day after maxing out on bench.

i understand too OP, people just take things to seriously.
but yeah i agree pullup would be hard to judge since u can use momentum to get up (kip) but i dont think anything else would be a good fit honestly
