What do you think about the WRONG WEIGHT being loaded for an all time world record lift?

These guys are absolute morons. How hard is it to count the amount of plates on a bar.

next time and just guessing have someone with a brain take 1 min and look things over and not worry about the sitting arrangement for idiots to have the best view, now you all look real stupid.

In all the years I have been lifting I have never forgotten to put my one 25lb plate on each side. Just sayin.

Since the promoter can't do professional job fire him and get. someone who can. Too many amateur mistakes. He seems more worried about the bottom line than doing a professional job!

What the fuck is this unprofessional shit. Why are there so many people close to the stage? The stage should only have MINIMUM staff to secure the weight. Then a team of judges should verify the weight BEFORE and AFTER the lift. All the other people should be in spectator assigned zones.

It's on Julius. Check your plates before you lift them.

I realize most of these competitions are a mess and they don’t take time to actually put care into what’s going on

Bwahaha how many meatheads does it take to count to six? Epic fkup for a WR attempt.

What a bummer. I hope he's able to recover and give it another go, but damn. All that prep, training, time, and energy spent building up to an attempt that someone outside of your training circle messes up.

Absolutely ridiculous.
Dude trains for this, puts in all that work, and here we are trying to sell the sport to a wider audience and they load the bar incorrectly?
The average viewer is out there going "how can I take this sport seriously? They can't even load the bar right…"
And then he gets injured on top of it? Absolutely awful and embarrassing.
