You got to be impressed with these new power lifting records. You have to feel sorry for the lifter who loses the record especially when the person breaking the record is not required to complete the lift. The fact that these lifts are not being completed is not even debatable. If you are an injured sprinter you still have to cross the line. If you bench press but can't straighten your arms because you have destroyed your joints you do what athletes do in other sports. You retire. You sure as hell should not get rewarded with a world record. If your gear is so tight you can only get down 4 inches above parallel no problem we will give you the world record for you effort. We don't care that the guys record you broke actually completed the lift. Things sure have changed haven't they Ed? Power lifters need to speak up as you are becoming the laughingstock of the rest of the athletic world.
