Without his boyfriends nearby to help, that is a deadly failure.

If some of y’all trained as hard you weep out of your vaginas, maybe your lifts wouldn’t be hot garbage
Best total @ 198: 1520 @ 195.4 - 575/360/585
Best total @ 220: 1603 @ 219.6 - 578/402/622 wraps; 1504 @ 206 - 529/363/611 sleeves

That much of an arch looks uncomfortable to me honestly but I don't know the first thing about powerlifting rules and I couldn't even unrack that so good for him is all I have to say.

Seriously though, how much do you think that arch help him? Did it increase his lift by 10, 15, 25% or more?
Ok, assuming it buffed his lift by 25%, if that is 455 lbs, then he should still be very capable of lifting 340+ lbs. Which is pretty sure more than majority of us here can do.

Good way to hurt yourself.

Good concept however Noriega actually arches even more when he unracks the bar. So he'd still get away with it.

Idiots lifting like this is exactly why no one cares about powerlifting. Using ridiculous range of motion, mechanical advantage, giant rubber compression suits, who the **** cares?

Not gonna read a single post, just gonna say that people who have never competed in anything (whether physical or not) should shut the fuk up. You do whatever you can to win within the rules of the sport, that's it. Nobody cares if you're impressed or if you think "it counts". Suck a cock.

Whatever his form is, his raw power is still up there unreachable by miscers at this point.

ITT: people who have never competed in PLing and don't even know the rules of PLing arguing with actual PLers about what the rules of their sport is.
Pro tip: 95% of people who actually compete in PLing don't give a flying fuk about how much you're arching, or consider it cheating in any way.
There are no lifting suits in raw powerlifting.

I'm saying no one is going to pay money to watch a midget fold himself in half to push a bar three inches.
I think the caption was "most impressive pound for pound bench ever". More like most ridiculous. Anyone who doesn't know the rules looking at that is going to laugh their ass off.
