Someone needs their ass whoop over this shit. I'm not into powerlifting, but I've never heard of something so fuckin' stupid happening at a meet of this magnitude. That was bullshit.
They need way more fucken safety for that shit, if its a record its likely that very few times a bar that heavy has been on the bench press
this guy needs to read Jocko's book Extreme Ownership and take fucking ownership of this shit
If I'm going for a world record lift, I'd make sure I personally checked the weight as well before the attempt. Of course it should be checked by the guys there, and then double checked, but as a man, you should be checking your own weight as well.
Don't trust everyone…ppl do all type of stupid things..and then make up stuff to justify their actions.
Feel better bro…keep up the good work.
1:41 The look on Coan's face pretty much says it all.
its like going to work, and after after 10 minutes you realise you aint got no clothes on
Even gym rats count plates or add up their weight. What a shame. Much respect to Julius though. Good on you brother!
Funny that I double check the plates myself, if I'm within 90% of my max. I'm sure Julius will in the future.
Controversially ESPN might like this… like nascar its all about the crashes
1:45 'fucking weight's not right' pretty sure that's Big Boy from Strength Cartel he seemed more pissed than Julius about this whole thing lmao
Just an observation… why wouldn't the person who is trying to lift the near half ton of weight not verify before risking himself?
There were 40 people around that bench. How the heck do you miss that?
Ha they more worried about an undershirt than the weights. Dudes going for a wr attempt. Let him and his team did theirs and everything will work out.
The lifter should have seen the weights were off.
How is that even possible, there is like 40 people there. Noone counted?
20 minute video on this? Really?
Before I even watch let me guess…..the director has some excuse. Just say you guys fucked up and could have seriously injured him.
Wow, how many ad spots did you sell for this video?
Uspa should not have been the hosting fed….. Matt wenning and ed coan should not have been sitting in the chairs as neither are uspa judges, even if it was only to sit there. plates should be checked multiple times… what happens if both sides were loaded short and he got the lift only to find out he just burned an attempt that was less than the 800 mark.
Nick's Strength and Power, Hi. Sir, could you please please please tell me why your videos have HUNDREDS of thousands of views when, JASON BLAHA only gets about 1??? I would be really interested in hearing your thoughts as JASON BLAHA is one of the strongest men in history and charges disabled young men like myself hundreds of dollars per month for mentoring/grooming. Thanks!
Shit happens, I hope whoever is in charge of that event had a debrief with his people and corrected what lead to this big mistake so it won't happen again.
You had one job….
Embarrassing and disgraceful that this happened.
Bad fucki++ situation all the way around. The meet director needs to shut up and resign cause he's useless and would be fired in the real world. Julius needs to lawyer up and sue the USPA for millions and essentially put them under. Afterwards hopefully and new group with half a brain will take over and run a proper meet.
How is he being the head judge & not make sure that the athlete is lifting the correct weight stated?! 🤦🏽‍♂️
USPA needs to retake kindergarten.
Its a sabotage, they used blackmagic to add another plate on the bar.
The men that have the responsability Is very stupide, we can see that in His facial expretion
What's to take power lifting seriously:
Doesn't count to 6 properly
Y'all had one job SMH
I can’t stand listening to these feeble excuses. With all those skilled powerlifting “helpers” someone should have been in charge of checking the weights, both for a total as it was a world record and the evenness. Now everyone wants to distance themselves from the responsibility. The bar should be loaded, checked, and even triple checked for world records and safety. This made a joke of a sport we support and enjoy. Shame on all those responsible.
New sheriff in town Will Barotti 1105lb bench.
If I am making an attempt at something, I will damn sure be checking it myself also, and not trusting somebody else. It is easy to blame somebody else, especially at a “meet” but at the same time he could have made sure it was correct as well as his spotters.
They sabotaged that black man
Absolutely appalling way this meet was run
Hello,"BULLSHIT"!!!???..
1 year later and he still can not hit the 800, what they did in that meeting was so stupid…
In 13 hours he's gonna attempt it again
