This is what makes this forum so fucking shit.
Here is a section for powerlifting. Some one posts something relevent to the topic. Few comments from people who know what they are talking about, the rest are regualr gym goers who dont have a clue and bag the shit out of it.
Its like all sports. If there is a rule for something you take full advantage of that rule with out breaking it.
Some one mentioned that equipped is a joke? Most people think you can just slip on a suit and you will double your lift first go. I think equipped lifting a twice as hard to do than raw lifting.
The problem with this forum is that there are far too many people have the "your wrong, Im right " attitude. I could post a picture of a red hat. Some one would then reply "that hat is more of a blue colour" then that would be followed by "this is clearly not a hat, you have no idea what you are talking about"
end rant..

To outsiders, the sport is going to appear different to the likes of Sticky, who is in my opinion a huge stake holder, but sticky, people can have a view and should be able to comment.
I think you need to show a bit of patience as an embassador you need to be less attacking to members of AUSBB.
Keeping back flat or a set distance part of the back can be lifted off bench.Also, Shrek, can you suggest a rule that you would like to see on teh bench press?

I don't think that's too unreasonable.

I cant see the big deal about any comment.
I say free speech to anything.
For me, I like it when people express dissent at the status quo.
While I recognise her bench style is within rules, I also feel style is a joke, especially when tall guys are limited by maximum width markings.
Having a rule related to shoulder width? Sounds reasonable to me.
As for serious powerlifters and bb's not liking site, who cares. plenty of options out there.
I like listening to Bazza and Silverback and others with a similar mentality.
I also enjoy what the diehard powerlifters have to say.
But the variety makes me think, not status quo accepting everything as if we all need to be serious.
hey oni, why do you have to compete to have an opinion.
After all, we are talking about bench press, which virtually all of us on this forum have done many, many times.
Let me say it again, I don't think much of 3 inch movements, period.
Should runners be made to use the same technique they did in 1900? Or should new techniques be encouraged to continually push the envelope, not everyone can use sumo, or arch etc. It's about lifting the most weight within the confines of the rules.
