im not goign to lie, that is some of the best judging/benchign ive seen in a long time! All those lifts were fully locked out, good long pause, whoever that head judge was, major props to him, he ran a damn good meet- good lifting to all the benchers and what happened w/ that guy robert vick? Wasnt he supposed to do the meet and bench 1000 or something?

Great job by head referee on all calls!!!!!!

Congrats Rob Kolberer... that was awesome brother!!!

The head ref never had a chances to redlight any since that dumbass spotterkid was obstructing his view on most lifts. No way that he could see the right arm of the lifters. Harrison even had an extra spotter to cover the view of the left arm.

Sure he could. The ref looked around the spotter. It is better to be safe then sorry. The judging was good, right?

You are an idiot! The ref looked at both arms, the judging was right on. Powerlifters are becoming like little old ladies. BITCH AND MOAN ABOUT EVERYTHING! All of those lifts were good and well judged. No matter what video is posted you will have some cry baby bitches. Please if you don't like it go sit on a porch with Grandma fuk fuk and whine about the world! LOL!

I'll tell ya what. The head judge was all over it. On my training partners first lift )Rob Kolberer) he red over ruled the side judges white lights due to Rob rushing the rack call. Who ever the head judge was, congrats on running a great meet. Everything was square across the board. Nice job. And Rob great lifts bud.

Looked like good lifts to me. What the hell was up with that bench though? It was bucking like a bronco when people racked the weight! Dangerous. Congrats to the lifters though!

Head judge was Jeff Baker. I've judged with him at quite a few meets that Carp as run, he is a very fair and consistent judge.
