That's right. Devon didnt look like prime Devon and he even said that post surgery he can't keep as tight anymore and his angles get opened up which is what we saw against Denis. It made Devon look bad, its like since his prime he has fallen away a little and Denis is same level or even stronger which is why it was such a massacre. I agree about Travis, there will be alot riding on that match in terms of armwrestling history, a win for either side would be huge. Part of me is afraid that he stops Travis and embarrasses him like Devon, Travis does have the tools to beat Denis, would probably be the biggest achievement in armwrestling ever beating Cyplenkovs left.

Btw this isnt an attack on any rankings lists for powerlifting. As the lifters obviously have little to no control over how a ref judges them. i dig strength sports because i like to think that its not up to a ref who is the strongest. But damn.. calls like this put this ref in particular in with bodybuilding refs. Where they seemingly get to pick which performance is the best. i guess im on about it not only because its a good looking lift on all fronts that got shafted, but more so because ive recently entertained the idea of doing a PL meet. And its somewhat irritating to think i’ll be going in almost on the defensive sort of expecting bad reffing. I know that not all refs are the same, but now instead of being concerned solely with getting stronger, i have to also train to a level of strictness i dont even understand. Will my nutsac need to slap the floor for a squat to be called good in a meet or what? Damn.

Thor gets redlighted on 460k raw squat
David_wigren replied to Tommy J.'s topic in Strength and Power
Shame that it didn’t pass. It was however on the edge of legal depth so it’s hard to make a definite call. But then again, I don’t know what federation this is so I don’t know how strict the judging is. -
https://youtu.be/rEdI1f4E-ZA Can anybody explain how this lift got redlighted? Regardless, this kind of shit call should help better represent that there are indeed stronger mf’ers out there than what a PL lift or rankings list suggests. Makes me wonder how often this kind of call happens in the lighter classes also? Not only did the lift look legit in every way, but the weight went up REALLY fast considering how few squat that much. it seems amazing to me that legit lifts like this never become official. And at the same time begs the question how often it happens. Im not a powerlifter though. And have never done a PL meet. So i wouldnt know. And it also makes me wonder how many “easy” judges lifters may have gotten in various other meets. I mean damn.. if a lift that good can get called bad, then i have no doubts refs out there are equally as bad in the other direction and give credit where they shouldnt have. thoughts?

Honestly brother, i was excited about the Devon Denis match.. i know i portrayed my views heavily on how i thought it would turn out, but i actually did have hope Devon would surprise. It actually seems odd that Devon just sort of folded without much resistance like he did. I assumed Devon was definitely weaker than Denis, but to the extent we saw, something else had to have been at play. who knows. however, Denis vs Travis left is a whole different animal. This one will be for real. Denis better be laced up tight if he wants to beat a determined Travis is all i can say. The Travis we mostly see is the playful rowdy Travis. But i can guarantee we will see a pissed off hungry Travis when he squares off with Denis. Denis is literally the only thing that stands in the way of Travis being the baddest left on the planet, and he knows it. There wont be any half stepping from Travis.

Hehe.....well I'll feel better about the Devon loss if Travis wins.....go Travis! Would be hilarious if he flashes Denis every round. And then proclaims 'I'm the greatest!....😀
-
Yes im very excited! this match is at the top of the list for me. As far as who i want to see pull. avenging Devon tho?... na. Devon is a 225 in my mind. So unless a 225 North American beat Denis, there will be no avenging Devon. Lol!

I knew this would excite you Tommy....I'm.excited too, just saw your post on pound for pound channel. Travis seems to really want Denis, and in another video he has mentioned wanting 100k for the match. It will depend on Travis's shape I guess. He has a stronger hand than Devon, and more backpressure, plus he's super explosive. So just based off that he should pose more problems for Denis, and if he can take Denis's hand which I think he can, is his drive powerful enough to pin Denis? That's the big question. He won't hang with Denis endurance wise, similar to the way Chaffee couldnt hang with Denis right arm, even though he took his hand and got into a winning position. He just gassed out. So back to Travis and Denis! Man this is exciting! Get some revenge for Devon, and put the West back in front. Too hard to predict as so many factors at play. But Travis annihilated that Bulgarian guy today ranked 13th in the World 3-0, he looks really strong now.

Explosive lift Chris, well done! -
No word on the match happening yet officially. But just caught wind of Travis calling Denis out at Moldova. Since Travis definitely knows how to get the match he wants (talkin that sheeeiiiit), it will happen. Hopefully sooner than later. my predictions are Travis will do just fine with Denis left. That match will definitely be worth watching, unlike Devon vs Denis left. Right now i believe Travis and Denis are the top 2 left hand heavies on the planet. Who better to challenge Denis left hand than Travis? thoughts?

Dude. I was supposed to bend tomorrow and I ruined it in favor of muddy grip implements and rain. No regrets

My kids got christmas cubes from the elves. They, of course, jacked them up quickly. I found this website and just designated the pictures to colors. I was able to solve them in under 25 moves. It may be cheating but it makes my life, and my 8-year old's lives, much easier. https://rubiks-cube-solver.com/
