Just out of interest is it written in Westside rules that they squat so the knee is above the hip or whatever?
I agree partially with Brick. As a newcomer I googled 'strongest powerlifters' and you get Louie talking about his guys who bench 900lbs+. I think 'well that's a fair way ahead of Scott Mendelson' so you go and read all about Westside..... Good advertising.
I haven't read through all of the above comments and I think the depth on the squat cannot even be defended. But I will add MY TWO CENTS TO DAVID HOFF.
1) I want to say that you are a crazy strong dude and respect on locking out that heavy deadlift and holding it like that. Awesome lift man and I loved the intensity. You are a strong and intense dude who will obviously do well in any of the modes of lifting.
2) RAW UNITY MEET.... February 2014. You have a choice between mono lift and wraps... or belt only and walked out. I hope to see you there!!
As long as judging is consistent within your chosen fed from country to country it's fine.
IPF has some countries slighlty harder than others ( I'd consider Australia in the middle, NZ is tougher ) but no easy countries
GPC from what little I've seen seems roughly consistent with what's considered good for multiply feds
WPC seems to vary widely
It certainly shouldn't get easier for record attempts.
