You may not be able to lift heavy like you want but your wrong about not being able to do nothing. There are lots of ways to improvise lifts if you want.

Some people can even help you build a home gym.

If you dont owe any money fight it and prove them wrong, theres no reason there would be bad blood on their side if it is their mistake.

even without it raw im still flirting with 1300-1400 total
my bench is in the low 300's deadlift is undetermend last time i pulled was 455x5 im sure its raised

maybe if i get knee raps wich are allowed in raw comp they can give up to 30 lbs increase

knee wraps are not allowed in raw competition, you are allowed to wear wrist wraps and belt. knee and elbow wraps are not allowed. I'm positive on that one my coach is the president of raw powerlifting(I wanna say for the state but it might just be the city I forget). But wraps are a lot easier to get used to than the suit, and if you go tight enough with them they can boost more than 30 lbs.

I think some of these guys are just nitpicking you because of competitiveness/jealousy. It's a great lift and you should be proud.

i dont think so, were just trying to give constructive criticism. no ones saying it's not impressive, they're just saying it wasnt parallel and trying to explain why

I agree, because Stallone actually has aspirations to compete, and they are trying to help get him ready, as best they can.

Nobody is ripping him, either, compared to all the criticism I have witnessed (or even given out), on this site over the years, what is prevelant in this thread, seems to be the most well intentioned honest critique, geared only to help him improve on his already impressive lift.

I think this theard is a very good example of DBB, at it's best and most helpful.

Also, those plates are made of styrofoam

rut row he caught me

I don't think that line is accurate, the angle of the camera makes it nearly impossible to tell if his thigh was parallell or just over.

yea i could just said that but ranted instead

Clearly above legal depth... you would probably get one white light if you were lucky, you wouldn't get the lift. I personally exaggerate the depth on my opening squat to make sure I don't bomb out. And when training you should definetly go lower than needed. The top of your thigh by the hip should be below your knee.

havent gave much thoughts to equipment until recently when im secure enough with the weights on working with now i'll look into suits

even without it raw im still flirting with 1300-1400 total
my bench is in the low 300's deadlift is undetermend last time i pulled was 455x5 im sure its raised

either way if the squat wasnt legal im getting closer to when i feel i can compete and be in contention for a good placing ((maybe if i get knee raps wich are allowed in raw comp they can give up to 30 lbs increase)) i wanna compete raw before going for or trying equiped meeting
