Absolutely pissed off at the loaders/ spotters misloading his 800 attempt. Really threw him off such a disgrace.
If he still plans to chase the 800 later this year I have no doubts he will get it, such a explosive lift off his chest. Just missed grove transitioning to the lockout.

Just watched on Youtube. I don't know how such a thing could happen at that level.
I’ve messed up loading the bar a couple times on my own. An extra 25 lbs on one side messes up your balance significantly even after you correct it. Muscle memory kicks in and the one side still feels heavy. That’s awful for a record attempt like that.
I read that he suffered an injury... but he seemed OK albeit disappointed. That's why loaders can't make such unnecessary mistakes.
35m25s
There is no excuse for that, especially in those circumstances. Hopefully ESPN will continue to show more powerlifting. There is no reason not to, especially with some of the other shit they show. It was definitely a good watch.

Very disappointing for him, I know he's feeling this one for sure. This was a big opportunity for powerlifting today, and this just made us look bad and us losing the opportunity to get future showing on national TV. They will never show what truly powerlifting is we screwed it up
It looked like they set the timer for 1min for his reset? That's nuts.. The lead spotter/loader should have given him a blowjob after fucking that up and then let him take 10 min. It's not like it's a fucking local meet.
I remember seeing Marisa Inda miss a lift once because the equipment was falling assist apart... They weren't even going to let her reset either, but her coach made the case with the judges and she got to retry. Again, she had like a minute to go back up and redo it.

They do show the spelling bee every year for fuck's sake, so I think they could stand to give powerlifting another chance. LOL
I've only seen a misload once at a meet. The guy was attempting something like 725lbs deadlift and they left a plate off one side. I think he was given like 2-3 minutes, which still isn't nearly enough. 10 minutes would be reasonable.
Tinfoil time, the spotter was a plant from the spelling bee director. They're afraid of powerlifting getting too popular and taking their spot on ESPN.
I'm not prejudiced, but I firmly believe you can't trust an Indian teenager that can spell trichotillomania...
Hahaha I think you may be onto something. If they really wanted to get the ratings up they would see how many of the Spelling Bee kids a single powerlifter could take down LOL.
Reminds me of this one guy in my town where all these douchey parents started a private school for kindergartners where they teach them Chinese and stuff. They all have bumper stickers that say "my child is a honor student at ...". This dad got one of the stickers and put it on his truck and made his own so it says my son will kick your .... honor students ass" LMAO!

I am rooting for you
They'll have to get behind the hot dog eating contest first!
Spelling bee, hot dog eating contest, tiddlywinks, slapping competitions. We've got a long way to go, lol.
brings me back to the what would you rather fight question. 1 horse size duck or 100 duck size horse?
Yeah, that was so sad.
Obviously threw Maddox off his game.
You could see he was utterly flabbergasted.
@ickyrica
1 Horse sized duck for sure
Weak legs.
100 Duck sized horses would do a pretty good job of tearing your calves to shit

in Boston's Chinatown they have some wacky shit to eat. Duck tongue is a regular on many menus. An order of them has like 50 tongues. Tiny little things. I'm trying to imagine what one giant duck tongue would be like haha
