Nice try ! red lights though you will get it next time with a dip


The man is closing on a 3X bodyweight squat and that's all you have to say? Haven't you heard of the saying if you got nothing good to say don't say anything?

It was an excelent try i wasnt running him down i just noticed he didnt dip to break paralel , i did say you will get it next time , if he keeps the word dip in his head when he squats then he will always break paralel.
Dont get me wrong if i spot something that can help i mention it .
I have lifted world class and beaten world champions and no ones taken more crap off refs than i have .
I have no problem i have done my bit
In fact if you knew how many Olympic medalists, powerlifting champions (including world gold and silver medalists) bodybuilding champions , tv gadiators i have here then i would have thought you might welcome my help but if not its no skin off my nose either way i got plenty to do elsewhere ......leave it to you if you want me to continue just say if not bye

Thanks Dale !
Your a true champion you know where i am coming from
I dont know how you others do things where you train but here in this gym there is no such thing as a PB unless its done in competion with three refs breathing down your neck ! then its official

Give praise by all means but dont mislead you will do no one any favours by leading them on to believing it was good enough because they will just continue doing what you said was good enough and feeling very pissed off when they fail in competition.

You must leave no room for any doubts !

Frankly, Maxpower should be #1 on that list.

What fucking ever.
675000 people in this city- we have maybe 5 refs- maybe. Sorry none of the PR's set by everyone here measure up to your standard.
Perhaps you are just better than all of us- this is certainly the way you come across.


And you are the last person who should be taking the piss with regards to spelling pal.

big pete

as a competitve powerlifter, id rather be told that the lift wasnt deep enough. no point cheating yourself by saying that the lift was good and claiming it, when it wasnt.

i dont know the original thread, and havent seen the (i guess there was) footage, but if a judge calls it high, its high.

although i dont agree with the new stricter BWLA squatting rules. its not enough to break parallel, you gotta get a good 3" below to be white-lighted. the masters at a national level comp had a big shock a few weeks ago.

caber, im guessing B A meant that to claim a PR is to be up on the platform at a lifting meet. not neccessarily, phoning around local refs to come to your gym and watch a lift. thats my take on it.

if it sounds like im arse-licking, im not. i just agree with whats said

Judging by some of the lifts I've seen passed and failed in competitions, a ref's light makes its no more of a 'proper' lift.

And as for 'Personal Bests' only counting when done on the platform, I guess all those lifters who dont compete dont have a personal best in anything?

I think the point here has nothing to do with whether or not the squat was parallel, high or even upsidedown. It's to do with what message boards are about, encouragement, banter, constructive criticism etc. The one theme that tends to run through, especially here, is the positive attitude, and I like that.

If you had said, "Nice effort! Next time just try to dip a bit more to make sure you've got that depth, and you'll be set to nail that weight," you wouldn't have gotten this response, B A. The issue with your post is not that you questioned depth, it's the way you did it, whether it was intentional or not. It just seemed a little harsh.

I've noticed a lot of guys get on this forum and get very pissed off the second someone calls them out, they get defensive, then they start trying to insult the member(s) who called them out (ie. Peter's spelling of 'excellent').

"Oh shit, they called me out! I better flip out and get back at them with something completely unrelated that will only make me seem like a hypocrit."

Just don't flip out so easy. There are certain members on this board, myself included, who will defend the other members as if they are our brothers; because when it comes down to it, a lot of us have been talking to each other for more than four years now, and we've seen a lot of other guys come and go. We've all got a really familial respect for each other, and I can tell you one thing, if someone bashed my brother, I'd stick up for him.

Learn from it, B A. You came across as harsh. Admit it, say you're sorry, be more constructive, and you'll get along fine.

B A,

Top five arrogant, know it all posters on this board:

1. B A
2. B A
3. B A
4. B A
5. B A

I'm actually very surprised you didn't immediately turn Faz's thread into "Me this , me that, I've done this, I've done that." Judging by the way you say things, do you really think anyone would take any advice from you seriously? I'm glad others pointed it out to you that you come across arrogantly so I don't have to do it again. And if you don't like it, tough.

I think the three Canadians on here that are the only three people on the board that try to pick rucks with me have demonstrated who has realy got a problem round here

I posted last week that i was finished here and only stayed this long to answer the email requests for help from the members here that are still turning up daily and the people here that wanted me to continue

and Jamie if i needed to be a part of some group i would have taken up football

If Faz had a problem with my post why didnt he complain ? no because its not about his squat at all is it !

either way i couldnt give a toss what your opinion of me is there are some real athletes on here who did appreciate my help

I had already requested that my membership here be removed prior to all this crap about me being posted but for some reason it wasnt thats hardly my fault.

Anyhow, no need to get defensive BA, I think you meant well, it's just how the post came across, need to be carefull how you write things because it can appear to give a different meaning all together. :surrender

No, everyone else is too polite to say anything. You nicely avoid actually responding to anything like that sticking rather to '" real athletes appreciate me" instead of considering, even for a moment, that you might be wrong.

So why not reply by e-mail? Not enough attention?

So, anyone who disagrees with you is what, not a real athlete? Not a serious competitor?

You don't need to be banned to stop posting, man. Just because I think you're wrong, and arrogant, I'm not going to ban you.

Now we're doomed. Everyone, expect all your lifts to go down substantially, along with the plague, drought, and unhappiness that will beset this forum. We really are fucked now.
