Wow....lots of bombs....

What a complete shit storm. 12 good lifts out of 54 attempts for the men and a 50% bomb-out rate. They should just scrap the whole event next year.

Is that a suprise? Happens every year. Work hard all year for a big bench and never get one in-- will never understand it. Anyone can do that, they should start inviting benchers on most benches passed.

With all the bombs the field is going to be very small next year.

I was not there so I can't say for sure that this was the problem but..the stage last year was like a trampoline! It has a ton of use on it all weekend then the DL comp. and the next thing you know..big problems. If you stuck around last year to watch the German Oly lifter that performed right after the bench you would know exactly what I mean. Thats just my .02 on my experience last year. The stage was not like that the first year. Slade

Problem is it's sponsored by Titan.

I think a good suggestion would be to change the scoring format to reward lifters who get the most benches in somehow. Maybe for every successful attempt you get an extra 5-10 wilks points add to your highest bench.

I don't think it would be too tough of a task to find some kind of sponsors who could replace Titan if they decide to go raw.
Why not Big bear in Ohio or some similar business? Their spend more on sponsorship for one Ohio state football game than all of powerlifting. So getting them to step in with perhaps $10 000 in exchange for perhaps a little benchpress clinic with the big bear employees.

I guess that leaves the door wide open for you and ChaseT to quailify and show us how to do it next year! Can't wait to see how you do!

I'll send my son that is 7 and he will bench the bar. Oh and by the way 45 lbs. will get him in the top six. Give me a break!

Neither you or you 7 year old son have what it takes to QUALIFY of The Arnold, so I will not give you, Mr. Anonymous Coward, a break.

I'm gonna guess they are getting too competitive and over estimating their abilities given the large stage, pressure, strict judging, etc. But idk, I wasn't there.

people bombed in the raw comp too.

raw is not the answer. gear isnt going away.

Call up the olympic committee and tell them to go back to sandels and running on dirt.
Cuz thats how it originally was done.

I was there first of all most big bencher only have one or two chances a year to break world records. Second the prize money was very low and only was given to 1st and 2nd place so it force everone to go big or go home broke. My look from the side lines the judging was tight alot of calls was for belly benching but they just don't give away world records. I would have opened with something stuipid low just to get on the board but I saw what happen last years but I was not lifting and the excitment might have change my mind too. Congrates to all the lifter that did make a lift and I'm very sorry for the ones that didn't

At least this meet was capitalism at its finest: certainly not too big to fail.

How many lifters bombed because of "belly benching"? I think this rule is stupid.

you want change-don't have the usapl involed any more. loosen the rules up on belly benching and head movement. aau? nasa? wabdl?

getting extra credit for more lifts in is stupid. I don't care if a lifterr misses an attempt. honestly you never know how your day will go untill that first lift. last I read you only need one attempt to get on the board. so should the lifters go really low on the first two attemps then for broke on the third. then people would complain they only got two low attempts in that any one could do.
at the top level to get a record in is a 50-50 crap shoot at best.
