Never mind the HAI squatting, Chest burster coming through on bench is the best

Maybe he just had a hot date after his comp and decided to get a headstart and pop a viagra or something.

P.S. Ray Charles photoshop = funnies

What IS that!?!?!?

Will Noble · 08-25-2009, 11:05 AM

From the SPF regarding Dave Hoff (the bencher in the pic) who is a Westside athlete...

2. He most return the money that he excepted.
3. Matt Wenning moves put to second place and WILL be paid.
4. David has been suspended from the Pro Am and any SPF meet for 1 year from 8/23/09
If he does not return the money he will be suspended until he does.
5. This is just a start and we will try our best to do what is right."
Rodgers continues: "We also want to apologize to every single lifter that was there for this happening. Louie Simmons and Mike Fegerson works there butts off to put on the best meet ever and then someone has to mess it up for everyone. This is far from over."

oh the spelling and grammar in that quote hurts my head more than the chest boner does.

Will Noble · 08-25-2009, 11:20 AM

yeah it took every fiber of my being not to fix them. However its a quote, so I'll let the (sic)'s stand...

the video has been removed by the owner, I will have that up again later... saved to my PC for a reason

Bytsi · 08-25-2009, 03:13 PM

Seriously - what IS that? Something stuffed into his suit or something he did to his body (like that video of the guy's delt leaking) or ?????

GqArtguy · 08-25-2009, 03:38 PM

Bwahahahaha thats awesome.

Will Noble · 08-25-2009, 03:40 PM

I would speculate that it was a half a foam roller of some sort

My guess is he got hit by a facehugger sometime before the meet went down.

Will Noble · 08-25-2009, 04:06 PM

Also could be a few knee wraps stuffed under the shirt...again Im speculating

cycomiko · 08-25-2009, 05:07 PM

I saw that scene when I was watching Ray the other night. It was actually an autographed copy of Ray Charles greatest hits.

RedLefty · 08-25-2009, 05:53 PM

I wonder how much I could bench with a 12-board setup?

cycomiko · 08-26-2009, 03:44 AM

Should be good

Will Noble · 08-27-2009, 11:34 AM

Just got the word, it was inzer knee wraps under his shirt, from an eyewitness at the meet

As funny as that lift is, hoff is one strong dude. I think he is 21 years old.

I don't blame the judges though (at least one is an IPF judge, too). With the volume of lifters things are going to get missed. I don't really see the need for cheating in multiply federations.. almost anything goes anyway

cycomiko · 08-28-2009, 02:58 AM

not an IPF judge

Frank.S · 09-03-2009, 07:42 PM

The head judge had judged ipf meets before this.

cycomiko · 09-03-2009, 07:48 PM

I have been a baby before this

It was not an inexperienced judge is what I was implying.

Mistakes are made every meet, this one was a large one, but the lift didn't count and hoff got banned in the end. I really don't see the issue. There was a problem at the meet, and now its fixed.

People are always going to try and cheat, especially when money is on the line. I suppose you ipf guys don't have to worry about that though

But questioning his ability to see what is right in front of his face is something else...

The IPF is quite happy to kick somebody out of the meet based on knowledge learnt afterwards. The SPF, however, does not have the balls for this.
