Its because you're not involved in the sport and really don't understand it obviously, there's nothing easy or simple about a setting up the ways she does, or about her being able to handle 150kg at her age and weight. It's beyond impressive. If you don't care, who cares, just don't be disparaging, and it would help if you weren't constantly negative about these things.
Ppfft what's 'safe' got to do with it
And you thought I knew nothing about powerliftingExactly.
First relevant comment you've made.
Lol. I'm not consistently negative about it. Just pointing out something that I think takes away from the sport. Powerlifters for some reason unlike any other sport believe that others views mean little.
To me powerlifting should be about strength. Not contorting your body in a way that you can move the bar a couple inches. If I want to see extreme flexibility I could watch gymnastics.
I play footy and have said plenty of things I don't like about it anymore. It's not like I am just picking stuff out about powerlifting.
Just my opinion buddy.
I think she should widen her grip to shorten her ROM, like the Chinese girl who fair dinkum had a 2" ROM.
Yeah sorry the Jap girl. I was being fair dinkum, she had such a short ROM, I don't know how her wrists can cope. OUCH!!!!!!Japanese benchers have developed a technique where they turn their wrists in so their grip is still legal but their wrist are spread wider than legal hand width. Its hell on the wrists but knocks just that little bit more off the ROM.
I have a feeling it will be stopped at some point in time.
This is what all the caffufle is about. The non-powerlifting community find it ridiculous but to the PL''s it's seen as an awesome lift. Go figure.With the back arched so much like that i swear there must be about 4 inches of movement?

I think a min ROM rule would be a good idea.
It would be an awful rule, even just for the difficulty in reffing the rule, and luckily the overwhelming majority of the powerlifting community agree.
I know it would be difficult to ref never said any different.
Do you think watching couple inch rom benches is what you want in the sport?
Am I gonna get another infraction for having an opinion?
