Criticize what?!? He made it look EASY.

Wow.

It is an APF meet. I have a meet the same day upstate that is a USAPL meet.

My buddy will be competing in the 220's at Iron Island that day. We're looking for him to have a big day.

What's your buddies name? I forgot you are in NY too.

Glad that you posted the link to the vid...and for posting Gibson's video on his site too...I can't wait to congratulate him in person

Just out of curiosity...was that considered a pause?

Great lift...

JAYDE, I'D RATHER BE DEADLIFTIN!!!!!!

Where did you hear there was an Iron Island Meet in Long Island in Dec????

My understanding is there will not be meets held there since the last one I was at last year during October, their Halloween Meet.

Let me know the info, date time, email or number regarding this meet and I'm their, I'm from Brooklyn, New York and aside from Iron Island you will not find a meet anywhere in these parts.

Let me know guys.

I know Iron Island meets have their regulars, like Bill Crawford, probably Vince Dizenzo, maybe even Joel Toranzo, and Jon Bott usually runs them. Let me know what you know because I have not heard or read anything regarding this.

Peace,

Mike, my partner told me recently, but i just looked and saw a post by Chris Taylor who said he'd be getting applications out soon for the meet. I think they stopped having APA meets there, but i could be wrong about that.
If i see more info, i'll let you know.

B-fold,

Most would consider that touch and go. No real pause there, but no bounce either. He did smoke it, very very impressive. Look out Glen Chabot. Mendelson can do some big raw benching too.

A pause in my experience, which is admittadly not a tremendous amount of experience, is bring the bar down, as soon as it is still on the chest, receive the "Press" command, and then lock it out. Honestly when wearing a shirt, I don't think that a breif pause makes a bit of difference. However, when benching raw, I think it makes all the difference in the world, as you don't have a shirt to help get the weight started.

Unreal impressive lift there tho. Do not think for one instant that I am critisizing Mendy here. He got a quick press command, and he lifted the weight, with an outstanding and very fast, lockout. Very amazing stuff. We should all be in awe of this man's otherworldly strength.

I just watched the video of Mendy's 644. Now that was a good pause, IMO. No question on that one. And really, no question on the other one. He did not beat the press signal in either clip. And the lifter only has to wait till he gets the press command, waiting any longer is foolish.

Once again. Amazing stuff.

I don't give a f*ck if he bounced the sh*t off his sternum, ...only a handful of peeps lifting that kind weight (with a shirt no less).

My hats off to Mendy!!!!

He's definately getting 800 real soon.

Mike

JAYDE keep me posted on that info, I may call Iron Island personally and just ask.
