I also got the impression that Benny didnt give a hoot, and basically gave up on that deadlift, he got the 400 and entry to the battle of champions. There was no competition as such, and no real reason to give his all.
And not sure of the CAPO / wpa rules, but heaps of heads up during bench and dropped / uncontrolled putdowns on deadlifts.
Was a pitty Odell missed that 410, obvious grip issues, removing several calluses from his hand on the 400, He had a rushed comp prep, (2 weeks), The 400 at GPC nats looked heaps easier for him.

Was an awesome, but very long day of lifting!
I was super impressed by the interstate lifters.
Agreed that the rails started to come off after 5pm when it was obvious the comp was going to run a few hours over, which sucked because I was very amped to see Benni deadlift in person, and seeing him unmotivated like that was a bit of a let down. Big Odell was amazing though!
Sucks that Wayne and Parkmonster got injured so early

SIR BENCHALOT
A few of us missed the big boys benching and pulling because the comp went so overtime and we had to leave to catch flights. Not really happy about that. And from what I heard Spiz and some of the other spotter/loaders were trying to hurry things up but were told to pull their heads in and let the comp run as it was.
It looked like the international lifters were intentionally slowing it right down, there should be no downtime between flights, there was close to 10 minutes between second/third flights each time.

Yeah, it didn't really bother me, although i'm not full speed on how Powerlifting Comps are run. I was pretty impressed with the whole thing. /shrug

Man that sucks...
I felt very sorry for the spotters and loaders, apparently it was the same group of guys on the platform all day, that's how it usually happens though I guess! Had I not been suffering a repository tract infection I would have jumped up there and assisted instead of wheezing in the bleachers.
