We thought about getting on the road early and going to watch this, but decided getting our own training session in was more important.
Anyway, here are some highlights thus far:
Shaun Frankel benched a whopping 800 @ 198!
People are bitching that it didn't touch, just a poor angle with the camera that prevents you from seeing it. Of all the meets I have watched live (including WPO meets, IPA, IPF, etc.) I have NEVER EVER seen a lifter get a press command without touching the bar. Oh, and he also squatted 940 and deadlifted 730 for a 2470 total @ 198!
Big Donnie Thompson got 2850 with a 1155 squat, 900 bench, and 795 deadlift.
Vladislav Alhazov got the third highest total in history with a 2805. He squatted a new world record 1250, benched 630, and deadlifted an amazing 925!!
That is all I know for now. One of these days we are going to get up there and compete in the amateur class.
